Most of my life has been focused on obtaining my education and improving my educational goals. I have a deep desire to assist others in reaching their full potential. I know that everyone learns in different ways, so my teaching style varies on the needs of each student. Overall, I am a calm and relaxed person that works towards keeping students on task and tries to make learning a fun process.
I began tutoring my freshman year of college. I participated in a Sparks High School program designed to assist and motivate at risk students to achieve their educational goals. Tutoring continued through my own educational career, as I have spent countless hours assisting fellow peers and younger students with their school work. Now as a young professional, I would like to continue to assist today’s youth. My Law degree, along with my Bachelor of Science and Associate of Arts degrees ... read more

Experience gained is not what truly counts it's ones desire to learn through experience that's seperates oneself. Through five years in college and five years in a special education classroom i have learned many things. What i take most from ten years of experience is a mindset to never-give-up. Most day's learning in the classroom are forgetable because the student does not retain information into their long term memory. Experience has taught me to strive for continual learning, not just learning but what needs to be learned. What needs to be learned, needs to not be forgot.
My teaching style is one centered around positive feelings. There is a word i learned in college by the name of rapport. In order to become successful in the classroom a positive working relationship must be established. No matter what you do in life a successful partnership must be centered around a comfortab ... read more

I prefer a "hands on" approach in a one-on-one environment. I have had success with classrooms of up to 120 students, but I prefer the individual monitoring. It yields the best results. I have tutored remedial reading at the Elementary level for a tutoring service out of Phoenix, AZ for the Washoe County School System in Reno. While in my undergraduate study, I tutored fellow students who were struggling with beginning music theory. Another classmate and I taught classes in 4 levels of theory for up to 120 students while at U of P-West Chester. I teach Music Reading, Voice production and beginning theory to individuals in my church choir as well as microphone and performance technique.
I hold a BS in Mus. Ed. and an MM in Music Composition. I taught at the Elementary and Secondary level for 5 years, then moved on to teach in a Community college for 26 years. my subjects were app ... read more

The setting as a Sunday school teacher is different than the usual classroom experience. However, the parents and elders expect results and it is very satisfying to see the children respond with good answers and, especially, with good questions for me. I have learned so very much from my students. I have taught and encouraged little ones from toddlers to 12 years of age, both boys and girls. My tutoring experience has been limited but not through lack of trying. I tutored one high school youth in algebra and geometry. He did well and passed his class. Overall, my one-on-one experience extends to the university arena where I helped, and was helped by, my classmates. Teaching, speaking and answering questions in the classroom and study settings has given me vast experience in teaching others and learning from them as well.
I have had the wonderful pleasure of teaching childre ... read more

My experience is not as a liscensed teacher. I have been more of an assistant or tutor. I have worked with k-6th grade students-some of which are/were physically and /or mentally challenged.
My teaching style is very creative. Yes, I believe in teaching the basics, but make learning fun. I like to do fun games or art projects or use music to inspire and teach the children. That way they will have fun and learn at the same time.

A strength on which I have always prided myself is my ability to relate complex concepts with useful analogies and from different angles. I never underestimate a child's ability to learn something, so long as it's in a way in which they understand it. Curriculum development is also important. By that, I mean the creation of illustrations, tables, lists, acronyms, heuristics, and flash cards to aid a student in their thirst to learn. I am patient and fun, and working with children is something that has always animated and invigorated me. By getting a child to enjoy what he or she is learning, a tutor can open the floodgates to his or her potential and happiness.
My experience in tutoring computers for the last 6 years and facilitating study sessions in college for the last 4 years has refined my skills in directing absorption of knowledge in a direction that is organized and on ... read more

In attending the University of Nevada, Reno, I was introduced to and involved with several programs working with youth. I was a CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) working with children who were removed from their home for various reasons. (Parents were usually abusive). I also tutored Autistic children in the Early Childhood Autism program at UNR for almost two years. This program has offered me unique training and qualifications for tutoring youth, not just Autistic children. I minored in Criminal Justice, and took several additional English classes outside the necessary classes required for graduation, as I find English, among other various disciplines, to be quite a strength for me.
Not only working with children, but teaching them has always been a passion of mine. I have worked at the YMCA of the Sierra for almost 4 years, and tutoring children through UNR has been such a ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

After receiving my teaching credential from Biola University, I eagerly accepted a permanent substitute position at Mission Hills Chrisitian School. The following year, I was asked to teach science along with several other subjects in the junior high school. I thoroughly enjoyed this position for three years until the birth of our son. During my years teaching junior high, I had the pleasure of tutoring several students in math, reading, and study skills. I have been blessed with the honor of homeschooling my two boys for the past six years. My older son has dyslexia, and I began tutoring him with the Barton reading and spelling system this year. I have also taught history classes at our local homeschool co-op for both junior high and high school.
I believe each child has his or her own style of learning, and part of the joy of teaching is discovering a child's unique way of ... read more

I thoroughly enjoy teaching, especially the satisfaction of watching a student that was previously struggling start to succeed as a result of your time and instruction. I am an extrovert, personable, intelligent, and am not limited to one specific style of teaching. Moreover, having an extensive background in sports(collegiate athlete/captain), I have developed and improved a critical attribute which allows me to personalize my teaching/instruction style based on understanding/knowing how various individuals think. Overall, I want to make an impact by allowing other students to have the opportunity to receive a strong education provided by individuals that care.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have been preparing and conducting adult coursework for a variety of computer - based applications and software for 15 or more years. The courses were done in large lecture environments (30 or more at a time) and also small or individuals sessions, and remote (phone and web-ex) deliveries. I am experienced in assessing group attitude and individual needs and am told that I am very adept at putting my "students" at ease, both through delivery style and in customizing and breaking down the materials for the particular person or group. I am a mother of 2 grown children and one young grandchild. When my children were in elementary school I volunteered at least 1/2 day each week in their classrooms - helping as needed. Sometimes that meant a little extra time with a student learning to tie his shoes, and other days reading to a circle of children.
I love helping others learn an ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I graduated from UNR with a BS in Biology. I have gained experience in both classroom and on-the-field settings. During my undergrad study at UNR I tutored General Biology, General Chemistry and some basic math for about 2.5 years. Since my graduation, 5/2007, I have successfully worked and applied my skills in the corporate/industry world.
During my time spent as a tutor/teacher I learned that I enjoy helping others acheive academic success. Tutoring subjects can sometimes be challenging because each tutoring session may vary. So, I have learned that, in order to be a good tutor and to have a productive tutoring session, preperation and promptness is always crucial. I understand that learning styles and techniques varies from individual to individual. Thus, having an open-mind is always important in order to accomadate for these variations. I think I am a great tutor becau ... read more
