Classified Teacher's Aide

I try to provide a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere by getting to know each student as much as possible. I often find students need to be able to incorporate personal likes and interests into learning.
I am not a certified teacher but I have worked as a Special Education Classroom Aide in various schools throughout the Cajon Valley Union School District for the past six years. I enjoy young people and helping them on their road to success. I have worked with all levels of special needs students and look forward to assisting in their learning experience.

More About This Tutor...

I have been a straight-A student my entire life and I recently graduated from the University of New Hampshire with a 4.0 GPA. I earned my B.S. in Physics (Astronomy emphasis) with a minor in Applied Mathematics. Though my expertise lies in mathematics and the sciences, I am also knowledgeable in topics ranging from history to English grammar and composition. Much of my academic success is due to my ability to prepare for exams. I scored a 32 on the ACT, as well as perfect scores of 800 on the SAT2 Writing and GRE Mathematics exams. I gained teaching-related experience during my year as an Instructional Assistant, in which I assisted students with math, science, English, and GED exam preparation. At the college level, I spent 2.5 years tutoring in physics, math, and astronomy, as well as a semester in a college-level general physics class working as a teaching assistant.

I have a positive and proactive attitude that is key to motivate individuals to apply themselves. I have a strong understanding of the English language and how to write essays in MLA, APA formats.
