More About This Tutor...

I believe that all students can achieve academic success, even in their least favorite subjects. However, everyone learns in different ways with sundry motivations. Many students require some one on one time with a qualified teacher, who will both identify the student’s learning style and adapt their teaching style accordingly. I also believe that a student’s confidence in their abilities will play into their success. A skilled teacher will tailor lessons and feedback to build on skills a student does have, instilling confidence and encouraging the learner to meet the challenge of complex topics.
With over 17 years of teaching experience, I realize the impact that one on one tutoring can have on a student. My classroom experience includes secondary math and English, and my tutoring experience includes basic math, pre-algebra, algebra, geometry, algebra 2 with trigonometry, SAT prep ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a graduate in the field of Education, I have found my true passion in helping students reach their goals and achieve success. I have been working with children in different capacities from the preschool environment to the K-12 level, including working with students with developmental disabilities. Last school year I worked tutoring students who produced low test scores in order to help them raise their achievement test scores. I really enjoyed watching the students raise their comprehension skills in various areas such as; math, language arts, reading, phonics, etc. I believe my extensive background working with the youth of today would make me a great candidate to join your company!
Through my experiences working with children, I have learned to adapt my teaching styles to fit each students' individual needs. Many students learn through visual and tactile means, where as o ... read more

I am a passionate and experienced teacher with background in many subject areas. Environmental Biology was my BA major; it included work in botany, zoology (especially but by no means exclusively marine invertebrates) and ecology as well as chemistry, English, physiology and anatomy. I am a musician, an artist, a poet and a naturalist. I have over nine years of experience teaching in institutions throughout the country, such as museums and science centers. I also ran my own business teaching music to preschoolers.
I believe in you, and I believe in our ability to work together. Finding the right way to connect with my students is an exciting challenge. My students have included preschoolers to senior citizens, third world farmers to education professionals. Learning should be structured. Learning should be fun. Whenever appropriate, I use games and activities. Hab ... read more

I taught English as a second language to adults and children in Austria and Germany while living there (total 4 years). I speak fluent German and lived in Europe for a total of 13 years. In LA, I taught english to a number of Korean and Japanese young adults. I taught at Inlingua and WIFI Institute in Austria and at a business english school in Hamburg.
We play word games, read out loud, discuss cartoons and ask each other questions/answers. Try to vary up the hour. I am a very patient teacher and try to assess if the student is understanding all that I am teaching. I ask plenty of questions and try to get them to communicate with me and others in the group, if it's a class situation.

My principal recently encouraged me to become a teacher and my co-workers commend on how the children love me. I believe this is because of my gentle, open and caring attitude towards others plus my intense love of learning and knowledge. The adults I have tutored in the past still keep in contact with me. I genuinely care about my students and encourage them to contact me whenever they need help outside of our session. I also think I am very resourceful and take initiative to create specific guides and worksheets for my students. I will be attending the CSU San Bernardino campus in Palm Desert to obtain my teaching credential. I cannot imagine working in any other field other than education.
My background in tutoring includes ESL, elementary, middle school and college students. I have tutored predominately in Language Arts, which is my forte and passion. Since I am triling ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

All students can learn, but in different ways. I, for one, learn best by watching how something is done. I can read about it, or hear a lecture about it, but seeing it helps me understand the subject. This type of teaching would be done with movies, drawing or acting out the situation. In my teaching, I try to use all methods available to me to help the students learn and to use their creativity. I especially try to get students to work in groups and to share their work with each other. I find that pier groups provide the best help in understanding the subject matter. The classroom should be a learning place of activities and fun.
I started substitute teaching in 1983 while I was working on my Master's Degree at California State University, Long Beach. I have been a substitute teacher in Long Beach, Santa Barbara, Glendale, and Palm Springs. I have had experience as a long ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I use a cross-cultural approach to teaching, along with counseling techniques that facilitate language learning and motivate students. I utilize technology and create PowerPoint presentations combined with book reading -- including a worksheet handout that I give to my students to follow. Students get to look at the PowerPoint while they are following with the worksheet, combined with exercises relevant to the topic. I am very flexible when it comes to teaching, and I am able to adapt and use any materials that may reinforce academic skills and facilitate students' learning styles. I provide individual and whole group support to encourage and reinforce a clear understanding of the subject.
I am a well traveled person, and I have traveled throughout Europe, and have been exposed to a wide diversity of population and cultures. I have a bachelor's Degree in French Literature from ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I can teach children of all ages. I believe it is easiest to build rapport with the student before teaching them. If there is a good relationship between the student and teacher then it is easier to teach and learn. I use different styles of teaching that address all types of learners. I will incorporate visual aids, music, hand movements and other techniques to enhance the students retention of information. I have patience and like to use positive feedback to motivate my students.
I have tutored high school students at San Gorgonio High School in a variety of subjects for 6 months. In addition, I worked as an independent English tutor in Buenos Aires, Argentina for 6 months. When I was in high school I did two years of tutoring at Franklin Elementary. I'm currently employed at Club Z Tutoring and attend University of Redlands to obtain my teaching credential.

I find the most useful way to instill knowledge is to reach that place where the student sees practical value in what he or she is learning. I always knew when the moment hit by the expressions on my students' faces. The students I taught were majoring in art and culinary skills, mostly. Consequently they saw little practical value in learning composition or understanding prepositions. I strived to help my students put theoretical classroom knowledge into context for the working world they would discover upon graduation. I believe in making abstract concepts become concrete applications that students can utilize in many areas of their lives.
