I always make sure the client has a basic understanding of the form before moving onto more advance movement. I end with repertory/choreography to further develop the clients understanding of the

In both my tutoring and teaching, I firmly believe in change. If I walk into a low energy classroom of students slouching in desks, the first thing I do is ask them to stand up. If I am tutoring a student who struggles with vocabulary, he and I will work to find a completely new way to study. In accordance with this concept of change, I also concentrate on adapting myself to the mood and personality of my student or students. While my natural inclination is still to prepare and overprepare for any teaching assignment, six years in the classroom have taught me that I must be willing to throw out the lesson plan and change if the student is not receptive. Ultimately, my goal is to motivate students and provide them with a variety of tools to help them succeed. I have extensive experience teaching language-based skills to both native and non-native English speakers. My first teachi

My greatest desire to is to work with others in a compassionate, empathetic manner. I believe that providing any assistance first begins with deeply listening and relating to the needs, concerns and hopes of another. Just as personalities and interests differ between individuals, learning styles can greatly vary. My goal as a tutor is to identify with each client and work together to achieve the best and most enjoyable lesson plan. I feel that I have succeeded when learning becomes a fun, interesting endeavor for both the student and tutor. I have always been a lifelong learner, and I see tutoring as an extension of my desire to consistently review and engage with all academic material. The liberal arts education that I received at Scripps College set the standard to appreciate and learn a variety of subjects. I received two bachelor degrees, BA in Art History and BA in French, but

I was introduced to spanish at the age of 4, and after having structured training in a classroom which began in middle school, I have almost 14 years of spanish under my belt. I have learned the basics, studied literature and studied abroad in Mexico where I used my spanish during volunteer work at an orphanage when I was not in class. I continue to look for opportunites to improve my speaking, reading and writing skills in the language. I also worked for American Reads during 3 years in college where I assisted middle and elementary school children with homework, tutoring, mentoring and recreational activities. I like to see how much of what they are learning they currently understand and use that to help them put the rest of the pieces together. I learn from them how they learn and do my best to assist them in that way. Repetition and visual aids are usually the way I approach tutoring

I feel very strongly that every student should be given the chance to learn in a safe environment where teaching strategies are implemented that include individual's strengths in order to best support their needs. In addition, I find it essential to motivate and encourage students in all subject areas.
