English is one of my top subjects! In addition to possessing a degree and teaching credential in the subject, I have spent many years as a classroom teacher and tutor of English and Language Arts, grades K- 12 and college.

I also taught in a two way language immersion school ( English and Spanish) for six years so I can teach Beginning and Intermediate levels of Spanish. While teaching, I have always taken courses in the best practices of teaching as well as courses in subject matter content.

My comments on tutoring English : General English Language acquisition is one of my strengths.

I assess the student's level of mastery by listening to parents, communicating with the student (in whatever appropriate way needed) and then doing some basic testing. Once the student is assessed, I design a learning environment and activities that coincide with the student's specific strengths, while adding some elements of challenge. I tend to work in a very focused way for 10-15 minutes, and then add in tactile activities (like Bannana Grams for example) for 10 minutes or so, in order to maintain the student's attention. Children and youth who are struggling to read and write get patient assistance to learn the words correctly. My work will improve writing techniques (including essays and basic writing skills), reading comprehension, vocabulary development, and literary creativity. For younger children I work with acquiring reading skills, word recognition, pattern recognition, spel ... read more

Art tutor, Homework tutor, Learning facilitator!

I have worked in art and graphic design professionally for the past 6 years, however I have been freelancing and creating art for myself since 1998. I previously worked for the Hayward Area Historical Society, which included assisting in design for exhibits as well as some teaching to visiting school groups. I have also been asked to teach small groups of children about art, or help with general homework on numerous occasions.
I work best one-on-one or in small groups, I can adjust my style to what a person needs after speaking with them for a while and understanding how they learn. I've found the best way to teach someone a new way of looking at something is to understand how they currently perceive it.

A Little Bit About Me...

I continously tutor ages k-12, college students and international students. I have been tutoring for five years and enjoy sifting out the difficulties. Many students have trouble absorbing the material and many students read the curriculum abstractly. I help my students with processing the material easier so that we can progress efficiently.
I am very proficient with teaching my students to understand rather than just finish the activity or problem. I pay very close attention to the learning style of my students. I make sure they are focusing and learning rather than copying my teachings.

Have tutored adults and teenagers with reading; vocabulary, grammar, and writing; work one-on-one with students at their pace in a relaxed setting (library or public place preferred).

My style is structured yet easy going and patience exercised.
