I have taught all core subjects plus art history for over 20 years using various state mandated materials and supplementals I purchased through special ed catalogs. Student outcomes were best with the supplementals due to limited attention span and high interest-low level materials. I use various methods to determine mastery- I create my own written or verbal assessments, writing assignments and have students maintain learning journals. I have a background in educational psychology which is useful in dealing with students with behavioral issues.
I work through positive behavior supports, humor and style to motivate the student to understand the need to learn the core subject matter in order to proceed through high school. I am excellent at reading the needs of the student and creating lessons that are relevant, interesting and fun.

I have been a credentialed teacher for 4 years. I work primarily with students with moderate/severe disabilities. Previously, I was a teacher's aid, tutor and daycare worker. I am credentialed in both general education and special education. I have experience working with a wide variety of learners in all subject areas. I have worked with students who are simply trying to get ahead in school, students who are falling behind and need homework help, students who are about to be retained, to students who are significantly delayed and are on their own curriculum program. My special education background allows me to support all levels of students and support different learning styles.
I prefer to provide students with hands on and/or visual tools during learning when possible. I like to make the educational topic meaningful and interesting to the student.

I first find out your true objective for learning the material. Is it a requirement and not in your field of study so you just want to pass the class or is this a part of your passion or career and really want to know the nuts and bolts of the subject. I will adjust accordingly and make out a plan. I will also figure out the best way to teach you the material and from there we will have a plan to accomplish the targeted goal.
I have a lot of experience not only in fields that you may need help learning, but I also spent time during college tutoring classmates as I was in the class and developed a style to help students learn quickly and also reinforce the concepts. I understand the student to determine the best learning style for you and I make the transformation teaching you the material in an effective manner.

I am very student-centered. I believe that all students can learn any subject if the teaching style is adapted to the student's learning needs and prior experience. I further believe that learning should be fun for the student and to this end I constantly seek out interesting resources for students. I am patient and expect high achievement from students, but I also believe that high achievement only occurs when education is tailored to the student. I am currently a Master's student in Educational Psychology and I incorporate empirical research data into my method of teaching; I believe in doing what is proven to work to help students achieve!

I enjoy working with students off all ages. My teaching approach revolves around using hands on manipulatives, student interests, and lots of patience. I believe that each child has the right to learn in a way that they feel most comfortable and that they should be given the chance to explore what method benefits them the most.

I have many years of tutoring experience. I have tutored all types and levels of students including but not limited to: GATE, English learners and at-risk students (Preschool-7th grade). I am enrolled in a teaching credential program and have passed the CSET and CBEST. I participated in the tutor connection training program, attended a classroom management seminar and am familiar with SIOP and GLAD strategies.
My teaching style is student centered. I change my teaching style to fit the needs of each individual student. I try to include s and visuals into my lessons. I believe for a student to understand a concept, they have to hear it, see it, touch it and do it.

A Little Bit About Me...

As a graduate from one of the most prestigious schools in the world, I have the training and experience to motivate and improve a child's ability to learn. I have been a music teacher for four years, working with children of all ages; I am currently working with a special needs child to play the piano. In addition to music, I have written many essays and was encouraged to be an english teach by one of my professors at Cal-state Fullerton.
I am a very encouraging and positive teacher. Growing up with seven siblings, I have learned that patience is the best virtue and children need a stress-free enviroment. I love to use analogies and stories to motivate children to enjoy the sessions. I always felt that it was my mission not to be the "typical" tutor; I want children to look forward learning.

More About This Tutor...

During my years as a student, it was something I excelled at. I did not have to typically study for hours to achieve success in retaining material. I tend to remember things easily and be good with educating others on subject matter. I have been a substitute teacher and have mentored elementary through middle school age children. When I graduated college with my Bachelor's of Science in Criminal Justice, I was a member of an International Honor Society as well as one only for Criminal Justice majors and graduated Summa Cum Laude.
My teaching style would be classified as patient. I was diagnosed with a learning disability myself when I was in third grade, so I know how differently children learn. I was lucky enough to have patient resource teachers to work with and allow me to find my way of learning the material led by them, of course. So I think tutoring is extremely important for ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I love teaching and working hands on with children, especialy one to one. I have worked both in groups and individual teaching settings. In doing these different styles you can see that each student learns at a different rate. Working with all students in the learning process I know we will find which experience will work best for each one to find success. I am very easy going and do not get upset. My goal is to improve the learing level of each student. I feel each and every child can improve their level in any subject with positive influences.
