Success isn't give, it's earned. You can Succeed!

I have taught Social Studies and Language Arts at the middle school and high school levels in Missouri for three years. I have worked with students that are considered at-risk, ELD, and students with special needs (including Autism, remedial studies, learning disabilities, and emotional disturbance disorders). I hold current and valid teaching credentials in both California and Missouri. I am in the last eight months of my Masters Degree at National University for teaching students with special needs. I also hold a Masters in Education in Best Teaching Practices, and Bachelors of Science in Social Studies Education.
I utilize a variety of instructional techniques to help each diverse learner succeed and excel. I believe the most imperative part of teaching is to facilitate a positive rapport with my students and have clear structure for them to work with.

A Little Bit About Me...

I come from a family with a rich history in teaching. I have several cousins, aunts and great aunts who work and have worked as teachers in the State of California. Like them, it is my dream and goal to make a positive difference in the lives of the students I teach and tutor. I have achieved this in my teaching experience by providing a welcoming and accepting educational environment where students are actively involved in the learning process. Certain theorists have helped me gain a broad understanding of the learning experience, which has helped me develop my teaching style. Two theories who have influenced my teaching style are Vygotsky's theory in social cognition and Piaget’s theory of mental development. These two theories have influenced my approach to teaching and have helped me to understand the learning process and my student's potential.

I have been working with children of all ages for over 5 years. I know that every single child is different in their own special way. Everyone learns at a different pace, with different styles and different attitudes towards it. I have learned to never judge a child by what they know, but to determine what you can do to help. There is a driven force in me to help every child in my path to improve themselves. I have never failed, and do not plan to ever start. I am a determined, outgoing, fun and enthusiastic individual, who loves to work with children and adolescents. Education can by enjoyed by everyone, even if they do not know it yet.
Pursuing a college degree in Kinesiology-Physical Education, has made me a driven person not only to help myself, but to help change the lives of children. I am currently waiting to get into a University to achieve my credentials in education to b ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a graduate of the University of California, Merced, I was driven to achieve a high level of excellence in education. My studies include an emphasis in geography, public policy, literature, and history. Through my college experience, I have learned extensive study and grammatical skills due to writing research papers and field reports. While attending Modesto Junior College, I tutored k-6 students in reading. I have continued tutoring k-12 students in reading, language arts and mathematics, up to pre-algebra, for the past two years.
I love my job as a tutor and helping children learn. I believe that each child is unique in the way they learn. I find that the one-on-one tutoring method helps each child grow to their full potential. Through this one-on-one setting I am able to devote my full attention to the child. This process allows me to evaluate the unique learning styl ... read more

I enjoy teaching children and teens and I believe that every person, regardless of age, has the ability to learn something new. I teach children and others based on their learning needs and styles. I usually do this by adapting my teaching style to their learning style, and accommodating my lessons for special needs students. All students can reach their full potential if they are treated with patience, kindness and compassion.

A Little Bit About Me...

After having both tutored and taught in the classroom, I find tutoring to be more enjoyable. Since each student learns in a different way it is much easier to teach them one-on-one than a whole classroom full. I’ve always enjoyed watching their faces light up when they figure out a problem for the first time. I believe that tutoring is a very powerful tool because a lot of students need that extra push to succeed that they can’t get being in a classroom.
As a college student, I enjoyed helping others and began working in the tutoring center at Merced College. After I transferred to CSU Stanislaus, I worked both at the tutoring center and for a state program that placed me in one of the local high schools to work with groups of seniors with low math scores in order to help improve their SAT scores. After graduation, I was hired as a substitute teacher. However, the classroom setting ... read more

Having earned a Multiple Subjects Credential, I am qualified to teach various areas of study but, with also a Reading Specialist Credential, I specialize in Reading/Language Arts.

I have always had a passion for teaching students who face challenges in their lives. My focus is on the student and his lifelong education above test scores. I know that all children can learn and work hard to connect with each of my students and to individualize their educational experience.
During college, I worked as a home-school Spanish, Language Arts and History teacher for students ages seven through fourteen. I volunteered in classrooms, tutored, and provided childcare for children with special needs. I studied Spanish and abroad. Upon graduation, I began my teaching career in L.A. where I taught kindergarten. After three years, I decided to teach abroad and moved to a small Chinese city where I taught preschool. Back in the U.S., I taught an intervention class for struggling readers in the second and third grades. I also tutored for students after school in their home ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I truly enjoy when I get the chance to work one-on-one with a student. I am the kind of teacher you will see sitting on the floor with a student, acting things out in front of the class, making up songs to go with the curriculum, and full of energy. I understand the difficulty that many children have when learning in a noisy, busy, and crowded classroom. Tutoring can give me that chance to reach a child who otherwise might get lost in his/her classroom. I believe that all children can learn, but that they each learn at a different pace, and in a different way. By one-on-one, and in a quiet environment, some students may rise to the occassion and be happy and more successful in school.

I am a graduate student at Andrews University studying for my comprehensives. I have always educated children and adults in one form or another. I tutored peers in languages in college, taught Bible courses in church, and taught in the private sector for 7 years. I have tutored for the past two years in various subjects such as reading, math, Spanish, geometry, English, and computers.
When it comes to teaching, I have great skills in reaching the difficult child as well as the over-achiever. My background in counseling helps me to understand and direct their behavioral problems as well as the educational goals. I strive to reach all my students and make education not only fun but a valuable learning experience.

More About This Tutor...

Education and helping others get the most out of their scholastic experience has always been very important to me. My tutoring background began at Merced Community College, where I taught college students in English, Spanish, business law, mathematics, and chemistry. Reviewing essays and helping others improve their writing skills is a passion of mine. I continued my education at Fresno State University and there taught Spanish and mathematics while earning my undergraduate degree in accounting. I also instructed a lab class on Internet web site design and development. I've been in the finance industry for over 11 years as an accountant, so I can help with most business-related subjects, too.
I've honed my coaching style to develop many of the tools needed to reach students in every age group because people never stop learning, so I am prepared to assist others wherever they f ... read more
