A Little Bit About Me...

I use communicative student learning approach to enable students learn and improve their proficiency in the targetted language.
I have an extended experience in teaching English as a Second Language. I have taught all the language skills courses at the undergraduate university level. I have taught many core subjects as well. I have been teaching for more than 10 years. My experience encompass teaching students from diverse ethnic, economic, and cultural backgrounds. I believe that all students can learn. One must know their learning preferences that would help them learn better. I use pair and group learning as well, because sometimes students can learn by debating amongst each other. I am always open to questions and give time for whoever want more time to learn.

My Passion is to help others achieve their learning goals

21 years experience as Combat Medic, flight Medic for the U.S. Army. Completed advance courses in medical management, patient care, emergency management of patients. Pastoral experieience for almost 30 years. Public speaker for churches, schools, and many organizations. Motivational speaker for numerous organizations. Marriage counselor, personal counseling experience of over 15 years. currently pursuing doctoral degree.
In my experience I have found that it is always better to not only provide the didactic, but with it there must also be an ability for the student to relate personally. As it relates to methods of instruction, I have always utilized the three step method of: 1) See one, 2) Do one, and 3) Teach one. This is also akin to crawl, walk, and run method. There must always be a teacher student means of communication that is functional and effective.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have more than three decades of experience managing and working in marketing, PR, communications, the web, and media relations. In all of that work, I have always been the one "teaching people" how to use technology and computer, as well as how to write anc communicate. My passion, energy, drive, know-how, knowledge, inventiveness, and infectious optimism will all play a key role in me mentoring, teaching, and tutoring.
What I like about helping people learn more and do better in communicating and expressing themselves is that it gives me a chance to "give back" all that I know in a special way. I teach people how to do things through a method of "learning by doing" with practical (and many times personal experience) exercises. Writing and communicating is a craft that anyone can do if they understand how to "map out" their thoughts and ideas in an outline and then "build from th ... read more

Most children have had positive and negative experiences at school. I believe regardless of a child's past experiences, I have the ability to develop meaningful relationships and help students believe in themselves and see their strengths. I do this in a caring manner, but always hold children to their personal best. Throughout the years I have influenced hundreds of children and have often been referred to as their "favorite teacher."
Since 1996, I have been a successful elementary school teacher servicing students in grades K-8. Along with being a classroom teacher, I have obtained my Administrative Credential and Masters in Education with an emphasis on best practices. I have the background to assess students and develop individualized goals to meet their needs.

As the oldest of five children, my 15+ years of tutoring experience includes helping my siblings in their homework when we were growing up. I have also taught English for two years at a private Junior/Senior girls' high school in Kyoto, Japan; mentored the English Speaking Society for the high school students; and, more recently, trained three content editors at Intel, as well as developed training classes for HP. Although I did well in math and science during my school years (my mother was a math and science teacher), I consider writing and English grammar my strengths. Scholastically, I am proud of having been a four-year scholarship recipient and of finishing the technical writing certificate program with a 4.0 GPA.
Because each student, young or old, responds to different learning stimuli (graphical or verbal) at diffrent rates, I always try to get to know my student fir ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Having homeschooled my children (eldest is attending a top 20 public university)and volunteering extensively in the school community, I have become familiar with a wide variety of learning styles. My legal background has prepared me for tutoring in that I am able to effectively communicate with the student and present the material in a manner conducive to a learning experience(similar to explaining legalese to a lay person). Above all, I strive to ensure that the student has a true understanding of the materials, as opposed to simple memorization. I strongly encourage the student to take an analytical approach to learning, and to view both sides of any issue so that true understaning of the subject matter is achieved.
In a one-on-one situation, I prefer dialogue. Assuming the student does the assigned work before the session, I find that a informal, relaxed conversation on the ... read more

First and foremost, it is important to me and, especially for my students, that we have excellent rapport. I want to know their academic goals and what is most important to them as we establish our tutoring relationship. I do everything in my power to let my students know that I am there for them, that I care about how they learn best, and that I want regular feedback on what they are feeling successful about and what it is that may need more reenforcement or practice. I then adjust my teaching strategies based on their learning needs.
I am a credentialed teacher who has had 22 yrs. of teaching experience, ten years in elementary and twelve years in middle school. I majored in English Literature in college and have taught seventh and eight grade Language Arts for 12 years. I specialized in teaching the honors students, but also enjoyed teaching grammar, writing skills, literary ... read more

I love children and have a passion for teaching, learning and student success. I believe one of the first responsibilities as a teacher is to discover the learrning style of each child; visual, auditory or kinesthetic. Knowing the individual learning style of each child, I am able to enhance my teaching style and curriculum and link learning with fun.
I have been blessed with over twenty years of teaching experience. I am highly experienced in phonics-based instuction. My passion is in teaching reading. It brings such joy to my heart as I see the smile on the faces of my students who have begun to put letters and and sounds together to form words. I have had the wonderful opportunity of tutoring stuggling classroom students during the traditional school year, as well as running a summer tutoring program; providing enhancement in phonics, reading and math.

As a Liberal Studies graduate of CSU Stanislaus, I have extensive volunteer experience working with K-6 children. As part of my required 90 hours of classroom observation, I worked one-on-one with students in various Modesto elementary schools. In addition, I have worked as a paid tutor through Smart Kids Tutors, working with children from economically disadvantaged families who needed improvement in math and reading. I also worked with college students at CSU Stanislaus as an English, Spanish, and ESL tutor.
I love teaching students from all ages and backgrounds. My education and tutoring experience has taught me many valuable teaching skills. I have learned that we all learn in different ways, and in order to be an effective tutor, one must be able to employ different styles of teaching to get through to students. It is extremely rewarding to see progress, big or small, in any st ... read more

I have worked with children and young people all my adult life from teaching VBS as a teenager to presently being a tutor and substitute teacher. In addition to my majors, I have minors in Greek and Western Culture. I wrote a substantial Master's Thesis. For the past 12 years I have also worked as a pastor. Part of my work in this capacity involves writing and presenting two sermons every week which is equivalent to researching, writing and presenting two ten page papers every week. In addition, I presently teach Greek and Latin, tutor students in math (pre-algebra and algebra), Latin, natural science, and writing.
My approach to teaching begins with having a high expectation for what my students can accomplish. Therefore, my goal is, in part, to help my students love learning and to translate the love for learning into higher achievements. I try to inspire the students In ... read more
