More About This Tutor...

I like to see children succeed, especially if I contribute to that progress. Teaching has been personal to me as I have regularly helped my nephew many times with his homework when he was younger. My goal is for students to reach success - whether it is to help students understand a concept or to help them solve a problem correctly, I am reluctant to quit and I keep working until students are on the right path or until they have reached their goal. I aspire for students to reach beyond their horizon by attempting more difficult levels once they have mastered the level of learning that they are at.
Living with a disability has posed more challenges in my education than the average person, yet I have faced these challenges and overcome them. I earned my bachelor degree in social welfare in three years and I recently obtained my graduate degree in criminology, law, & society - bot ... read more

Teaching Style I believe that every individual, regardless of age, has the potential to learn, and that as an educator, I play a key role in facilitating the learning experience in order that the learner achieves the targeted objective(s). I believe further that a learner learns best when the learning experience is a comfortable one. My teaching style; therefore, involves creating a warm rapport with the learner right from the start, and helping him/her realize that he/she can achieve whatever it is with my help. Once a positive teaching-learning relationship has been established, and the learner has gained a sense of confidence to proceed, it would simply be a matter of using the appropriate teaching strategies to help him/her achieve the targeted objective(s).
Summary of Experience My approach to teaching has been shaped by the many years that I spent as tenured ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy immensely working with beginning readers. It is so thrilling to me to see the light bulb go off in a child when they grasp a math concept or advance in their reading! I am very patient and really enjoy making it fun and attractive to learn.One of my big gifts is encouragement. I believe in a structured, organized setting for teaching. I believe it is important to be organized and have supplies and curriculum/exercises ready for the students so that there is no time wasted in their learning.

More About This Tutor...

I use a teaching paradigm that stresses the importance of student's needs and learning styles. Every student brings unique skills and perspectives to the classroom and tutor session, and because of this I have found that my teaching strategy changes per student and per teaching situation. For some students, being taught using the socratic method works well, while others like to take notes, absorb the material, then ask questions later during office hours. I have found that understanding student's learning methods have helped me to become a better teacher.
As a student at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo I was interested in English education, especially in terms of helping students improving their reading and writing skills. I followed this interest by tutoring at the university writing lab, as well as doing frequent one-on-one tutor sessions with students in need. At the end of each quarte ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Teaching has always been a passion of mine. I am a firm believer that with patience and hard work, mastering a subject is not impossible. To be a good teacher one must be a good learner. I believe that each student learns in their own unique way and it is my responsibility to figure out the best techniques to ensure success.
Being a high school English teacher is a career path in which I have always wanted to pursue. I graduated from Cal State Northridge with a degree in English. Upon completion of my degree I took and passed the CBEST test which enables me to be a substitute teacher. I do have previous experience in tutoring students who perform below their grade level. The primary focus of the tutoring that I have done was primarily in Language arts, grammar and reading comprehension.

As a reading tutor for the past two years I used a variety of approaches to help students increase their reading skills. I assisted students in improving their skills through phonics and leveled readers. I also kindled students’ interest in reading, found books that interested them, used arts, crafts, games and storytelling in relation to reading, and helped students create personalized journals for expressive writing. For the past ten years, employing Applied Kinesiology, I helped people progress in a range of fields from tennis to reading, and I taught simple and highly effective non-invasive methods to remove stress.
I believe in every person’s right to achieve their fullest potential. Children blossom in a loving, caring, accepting and fun atmosphere. I am a kind and compassionate person with a great deal of patience and perseverance. It is a joy to me to watch students improve ... read more

I graduated with an AA Degree in Liberal Studies from Allan Hancock Community College. I then transferred to San Francisco State University where I earned my BA Degree in Liberal Studies with an emphasis in Sociology. Upon graduation, I began working as a Substitute Teacher for grades K-8 in Santa Maria, CA. During this time, I was responsible for teaching many subjects including English, math, music, history and physical education. I also conducted many small group tutoring sessions.

I ask students demonstrate the skills they already possess, working step-by-step through subject matters with the student taking the lead. I also work to build studying skills by assisting students in looking up information they do not know and methods they are struggling to apply. I strive to build a supportive environment where questions are welcome. I firmly believe that all students are capable of learning and building skills to help them succeed academically.

A Little Bit About Me...

I would describe my teaching style as flexible. I believe that students learn differently and it's up to the teacher to adjust accordingly. My greatest asset as a teacher is my patience. If a student doesn't get it it's no problem. We just do it again and perhaps in a different manner. I do believe that all students are capable of learning and it's up to the teacher to lead the students in the right direction. Learning should be fun and and I believe maintaining a positive environment, giving encouragement and never giving up on the student.

A Little Bit About Me...

I worked in educational assessment for eight years, developing custom tests (in the reading/language arts and social studies content areas) for state departments of education. My focus was on creating tests (multiple-choice and essay-based) in alignment with state standards. In light of my extensive assessment experience, I understand how tests are written and organized, and I understand how to help students prepare for tests, as well as how to complete other assignments. Earlier, I worked as a substitute teacher at the elementary, middle school, and high school levels, and also taught Algebra I for three summers at a high school. I understand what teachers are likely to expect of students at various grade levels and in various subjects.
I enjoy reviewing an assignment, lesson, chapter, or other student material, and determining what is needed from the student. I also believe in ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

With my background in social work and facilitation, I have learned that flexibility and patience are critical when teaching young people. Each session with a young person involves meeting the child where they arere at, honoring and praising what they do possess, and then moving forward to areas that may be a bit more challenging.
Through my education and experience in working with young people, I have been fortunate enough to utilize my communication skills to assist young people with emotional needs learn math and english in a creative but producitive way. I also have taught parents of high school students social and communication skills in an effort to positively communicate with their children.

More About This Tutor...

During my undergraduate years, I often found myself tutoring fellow students. Eventually I got a job working for the math and science tutoring center on campus. I tutored students in my own classes and others, and I also helped teach a vertebrate anatomy lab. I am currently a Master's student in biology, and while biology is my field, I am also an accomplished writer. I feel comfortable helping students in a variety of fields, especially basic mathematics, science, and writing.
I am a creative, patient teacher. I know that everyone learns differently, so I try to come up with many different ways to explain a concept. I love to see the sudden understanding in a student's eyes when they finally understand a difficult concept. This is what makes teaching an addictive and highly fulfilling activity for me.
