Let Tyrone educate your child!

Accomplished reporter/writer, Los Angeles Daily News. Teacher's Aide, Los Angeles Unified School District. Bachelor of Arts, Journalism, CSUN. Over the years I gained a wealth of experience and training to work with professionals in journalism and in education. The two are related, because they are a part of communication, to work with people and to help someone get an education.
My teaching style encourages a person to ask questions, to think independently, to challenge themselves, to use language they can understand, and my style is strict, but flexible.

I like interacting with students and children, figuring out how to answer their needs and helping them succeed. I like inquiry based learning. That way, I am an expert "guide" for students than a "lecturer." To make a positive difference in your child's education is a wonderful possibility for me and assisting them in reaching their potential would be a delight. I am clear that my objective is to support your child's learning. To that end, I am patient, gentle and knowledgeable.

My objective as an educator is to be a compass that enlightens young minds, guiding them to discover hidden talents and deepen existing gifts. Mastery is best achieved through active learning, giving students a variety of individualized tools to measure, evaluate, and contribute to their global world. Students grasp the big picture better when ideas are linked across disciplines and connected to personal experience. Awakening knowledge in this way is my vocation.

Having graduated with honors from a top university, the greatest asset I offer comes from my real world teaching experience. During my tenure as a substitute I have taught at all levels, from kindergarten to middle-aged adults, in all subject areas. Even as a young person I was involved with teaching others; I first began as a teacher's aid in high school and later I served as a tutor in college. This led to teaching full-time at the kindergarten level. Last year I worked in a summer camp in Canada and I completed my TESOL training and I was successful in teaching English in Paris France in the fall. Returning to California I continue to teach part time for the Ventura Unified School District.
My training in rhetoric, speech, and debate has taught me the importance of speaking clearly and articulately. This means that I pay close attention to language and I try to bring out that qu ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I enjoy being able to share the knowledge that I have accumulated during my years of life and education. I am generally able to frame information in a way that is mentally accessible to all students so that they can grasp it for themselves. I believe in allowing the student to take ownership of their learning so that they can be proud of what they have accomplished. With confidence and good self-esteem, a student's opportunities are endless.
During my years at Gannon University, I tutored for the state-funded CAAP program. I tutored college students in English Composition, French, Spanish, Theology, Philosophy. I also had the opportunity to tutor an elementary student in Math, English, Science and Theology for 2 years. I have a BA in Philosophy and Psychology with minors in French and Political Science from this university and had wished to pursue the BA in French from the Universi ... read more
