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

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.
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.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have experience being an English tutor to four different families during my time abroad in Barcelona. My students varied in age, the youngest being seven and the oldest being 13. This experience allowed me to better understand students at all different levels and what teaching methods children at different ages better respond to. I also have experience using my passion for art as tools of learning. I have experience teaching drawing and painting as tools of stress relief and of memorization. I also tend to encourage students to read and help to kickstart their overall motivation for learning and discovering by tapping in to their creative as well as academic sides.

More About This Tutor...

"A teacher is one who makes himself progressively unnecessary" I think that this quote about teaching, in a way, reflects my idea on what teaching is all about. One can be a good teacher, whose characteristics encompass good knowledge of the subject matter, understanding the needs of your students, and the ability to apply this knowledge to students' needs. However, an effective teacher does not only pass knowledge on to her students, but makes herself gradually unnecessary: her learners become independent learners as they progress through a course. As a teacher, I always try to be effective in this sense - I foster independence in my students. At the same time, I strive for excellence which will eventually make me a better teacher. This endeavor caused me to reflect on how an excellent teacher is different from a good teacher. The conclusion I have come to is that a gap between a go ... read more

USC Graduate Offering SAT/ACT/College App/K-12 Tutoring

I really pride myself in personalizing my tutoring. I try to never have more than 6-7 students at a time so that I can provide the best possible personalization of teaching to each student. Additionally, being at a similar age to many of my students helps me relate to them a lot better than some older tutors may be able to; I have more recent experience with taking the same courses/tests as them or applying to colleges like them, and this helps a lot in my tutoring personalization. In terms of my teaching style, I love being able to connect with students beyond the structured environment of most classrooms and tutoring/prep academies. I try to provide my students with just enough structure so that they know how to study, how to test, etc., but enough autonomy so that they can learn how to succeed on their own. Helping students navigate this fine line is really meaningful, as many ... read more

Hate busywork? Me too! Why not make it MATTER?!

I began my teaching career even before graduating High School. I started volunteering my time with homework help and study skills at the local Boys and Girls Club when I was 16 followed by teaching Remedial English to a small group of ELL students at a partnering elementary school. During college, I continued my passion by joining an organization that teaches life and social skills to developmentally delayed young adults. After graduating from SFSU, I persued my TEFL certification which allowed me to live and teach in China for 6 months, while developing fun an innovative curriculum that allowed young students to start acquiring English skills from scratchet. Since then, I have continued designing hands-on curriculum for English, Literature, Science, Math, Dance, Visual Arts, Life Skills, and College Prep. I have also been a manager, coordinator, coach, and director at several after ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have usually insisted in helping people who have struggled in English and Math. I would do my best to explain the material until the student would have a solid understanding of the material. I have helped so many international students in English. As for math, I would insist on helping friends and anyone who is wishing to need help.
For math, I would explain the mechanics and techniques of how to get the answer. I want to make sure the student understands fully so I would also be asking the student questions just to ensure he or she knows the material well. For English, I would focus on practicing and discussion. Since it is a langauge, I focus more on practicality. I would also talk to the student and discuss whatever he is having trouble with so that I can give him or her tips to improve.
