I worked with students from the age of eight to eighteen. Each age group provided its own set of challenges and opportunities to strengthen my experience as a tutor. I worked with children in small groups or one-on-one, based on the child's learning style. I encouraged the children to set their academic goals high and use the support from their peers to help them achieve their goals. I have no one set teaching style, I get to know each student's learning style so that they can benefit the most from the tutoring session. Through patience, respect and dedication, I work with students so that they can achieve their goals.

More About This Tutor...

I am a seasoned professional with over twenty years of experience divided among the fields of law, educational recruiting, and teaching at the college level. After completing my bachelor's degree at USC, I earned my law degree. Because my passion is literature, I opted to teach rather than pursue a career in law. I was offered a position heading up the remedial studies program at the Art Institute in Santa Ana. This position afforded me the opportunity to teach and tutor students who were struggling with their English skills. I also served as an adjunct professor at Brown Mackie College, where I taught students pursuing their associates degrees in paralegal and business.
I find the most useful way to instill knowledge is to reach that place where the student sees practical value in what he or she is learning. I always knew when the moment hit by the expressions on my students' ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I taught horseback riding to children ages 7-16 in an outdoor education environment. Although academic tutoring is of course different, the principles are the same.
I modify my teaching style to reflect what works. Children are all different and the same explanation or example will not work best for everyone.

As one of the few women to be admitted to a well known university in China, based upon my academic abilities, I was chosen to teach University students in the foreign language department for one and one half years. In the past twelve years I have worked in the International Banking arena for foreign and domestic banking institutions. During this time I advanced through the banking ranks to supervisor positions dealing with the various banking laws of each country wherein international transactions were processed on a daily basis. I wish to use my skills as a multi-lingual Asian to teach others as my native country is one of the largest foreign traders with America and the world.
Having taught individuals and classroom students, I feel confident that my skills with all ages will benefit both the student and myself. I enjoy teaching very much and have a teaching approach that is ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

All students can learn, but in different ways. I, for one, learn best by watching how something is done. I can read about it, or hear a lecture about it, but seeing it helps me understand the subject. This type of teaching would be done with movies, drawing or acting out the situation. In my teaching, I try to use all methods available to me to help the students learn and to use their creativity. I especially try to get students to work in groups and to share their work with each other. I find that pier groups provide the best help in understanding the subject matter. The classroom should be a learning place of activities and fun.

Twelve years of teaching English in the Pennsylvania public school system has left me with a wealth of experience spanning all grade and ability levels. I have developed and implemented original curriculum for courses, ranging from electives to Honors English, based on my observations of students' skills and interests. I created and taught an original middle school Gifted program for one year, but returned to the high school to resume teaching English, because I missed working with the entire student population. I have experience teaching every genre of literature and writing, and have used creative approaches to make grammar applicable to students' writing.
Passionate and enthusiastic, I bring a lot of energy to teaching, and maximize lesson time to achieve the best possible student comprehension. Careful attention to the subject matter, individual learning styles, as well as ... read more

I have earned a BA in Criminal Justice from American Military University, which has enabled me to gain an understanding in many areas such as math and language arts. In addition, I have learned extensive grammatical skills due to writing research papers, along with essays in many various areas of study. I have tutored both of my sons in math and language arts.
I love teaching and working with all children. I am patient, easy going, and considerate. My goal is to provide the best education possible. I believe firmly in teaching through discovery and in providing a constructivist approach to learning. I believe all children can meet their potential if they are given the appropriate surroundings and learning experiences. A few good educators can make a world of difference in a child's education. I strive to make a difference in all of my students' lives.

My background in tutoring includes ESL, elementary, middle school and college students. I have tutored predominately in Language Arts, which is my forte and passion. Since I am trilingual, I have naturally been drawn to tutoring ESL or non-native English speakers. I have tutored at the writing center at College of the Desert, part-time in the evenings. In addition, I have tutored two years in a row for the No Child Left Behind tutoring. Currently, I work as a library media technician at Truman Elementary School. I assist students with various library and media center related things such as learning software to finding library materials. I was recently awarded a grant to teach library classes after school, which was a big hit for the students who attended. Currently, I am writing a visually appealing and humorous book on learning the fundamentals of grammar. I was inspired by stu ... read more
