My comments on tutoring Elementary Phonics : Ages 6 and above

I'm a graduate of UCLA Engineering with a passion for explaining how the physical world works through math and physics along with 14 years of tutoring experience in those subjects, test prep, and mentorship programs. The teaching strategy I believe in emphasizes subject fundamentals, a powerful and necessary tool for higher problem solving. This strategy has proven very effective regardless of the student's educational background or mental ability. Besides being knowledgeable, I am motivating, caring, and patient in guiding your student to academic success! EXECUTIVE FUNCTIONING: Executive Functioning is a separate realm that tutoring can assist in. It deals with cognitive processes including organization, time management, and study skills. Much of the difficulty students face in academic subjects can be attributed to the lack of executive functioning. They either cannot keep up w ... read more

I Promise that you will have fun while you Learn!

Children say that I am so patient and relaxed. One little girl asked me last week, "how come I don't grate on your nerves? My mom says I grate on her nerves." Well, no child has ever "grated on my nerves" :) Children know I care about them and we develop a mutual respect for each other.

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style is aimed at making the child feel good and happy with learning. Often children need tutoring in subjects that frustrate them, they miss one aspect and while they're spending time on that in class the teacher blazes past them adding more confusion. I take it upon myself to back track to the initial place where the confusion stemmed from and spend the time working through these rough patches. I gear everything as a game or story to create excitement in a subject that would normally earn groans. I want your child to feel proud of what they do know already, and use that happiness to fuel further learning.
I have always had an interest in tutoring, starting in Elementary school where I would leave during recess in the fourth and fifth grade to spend time in my past Kindergarten teacher's classroom. There I would read to students, reinforce the teachings lead by th ... read more

Learning expert, author and kidzmet.com Founder

Brain based research is now proving what learning theorists have believed for decades...that making learning fun and joyful is key to helping kids more effectively cement knowledge. Before I even start tutoring, I make sure I get to know your child's: * personality type, * preferred learning styles, * multiple intelligences, and * key likes/dislikes, so that I can make sure that our time together is interesting and engaging as well as effective. (I'll also teach you some of the key strategies you can use during homework time when I'm not with your child.) I am a recognized, published learning expert whose business and books have earned a Parent Tested Parent Approved award, The National Parenting Center's Seal of Approval, and the #1 teaching blog on the web's "Teacher Approved" award. I also have a regular weekly segment on the Total Education Network, which is heard in 180 ... read more

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 love working with children! I have the ability to work with the child's weakness and strengths. I can work around how the child learns, I usually just observe first because I try to teach a child. I think its very important to see what the child's weakness and strengths are first before you try to teach them anything. I believe that all children have different ways on learning and they all have their own time on learning. I don't like forcing children to learn something they don't want to learn, I like getting the child involved in anything they are learning and getting their opinion on what we should do to get them to learn. I like making a difference in a child's life, I think it's important for them to know that they can always learn something new!

I have accomplished various educational programs which have provided me with knowledge and theory that will allow me to work directly with various learning abilities. I have also had several job titles which have given me the experience and the training to provide for all learners and equal opportunity of achieving high academic success. I recently completed the teaching credential program at California Lutheran University. Through this teaching experience I have gained enough knowledge to know about diverse learning abilities.
To provide students with an equal opportunity of learning, one must first know about every student’s individual needs.

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style is to show students how to make themselves successful. By motivating my students to do their best every time I can help them exceed expectations and thrive under any situation both academically and socially. Many students focus on what they think they cannot do. What I teach them is to highlight their strengths and improve their weaknesses. I do so with the use of clear directions, constant monitoring, and positive praise. I believe every child can learn it is merely a matter of finding the proper teaching method.
As a University of South Florida college of education graduate I have a wealth of experience with teaching both in the classroom and on a one to one basis.

A Little Bit About Me...

Although I have worked mostly in Film and Television since graduating from University, I returned to the University of LaVerne in Athens, Greece in 2004 to tutor foreign students in essay writing and to help hem with their entrance exams. I worked there part-time (3 days a week) for 2 years. I continued tutoring 2 students privately for another year. In 2009 I tutored after-school English at DeAnza Middle School in Ventura for approximately 6 months.
I am a very caring teacher. I love to use humor and encouragement in the hopes that the students will feel inspired to continue and flourish in their writing, even after our time together is over. I believe in children and their ability to acheive anything, and try to relay that message to them in a fun and patient way. I love to see the spark ignite in the eyes of someone who has achieved something they didn't know they could.
