A Little Bit About Me...

Prior to earning my J.D. from the University of California, Hastings and admittance to the California Bar in 2008, I received my B.A., Cum Laude, in psychology from the University of Pennsylvania in 2005. My experience at Penn as a writing tutor for two years, enabled me to assist both University and high school students with organizing, revising, and editing their writing assignments in a wide variety of subject areas. During law school I honed my legal writing while working for two Bay Area District Attorney offices where I wrote several motions.
My time in the Ivy League and legal world has cemented a desire to help youth enter the professional sphere via strong academic performance. I am particularly interested in tutoring because it is, in my opinion, the process of making our future professionals. It is also a process by which I became a professional; one which I am gratef ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a recipient of an Associates Degree Summa Cum Laude; I have and more importantly my students have experienced success within and outside of the classroom. Twenty-one out of twenty-four 4th graders under my tutelage increased MAP scores by over 20 points on average when the objective was just for 8 points. My proficiency in instructing in reading, writing, English Language Arts, and comprehension led to me being entrusted with conducting an enrichment program at my school over 1,300 students that led to me receiving 2 awards of Excellence of Service Award and Paraprofessional of the Month. My PLT scores were in the top 15% with 190 out of 200 that led to a Recognition of Excellence Certificate indicating this proficiency.
The type of instructor I am working to become and remain does not view teaching as a job but, views teaching as an ongoing mission. My job will be to ensure th ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe all children can learn, but that all children learn differently. Having taught special education, I had a range of grade levels in my class. Very often the students would be spread out over three grade levels. Because of this, I am extremely good at tailoring my instruction to different levels and learning types. I try many different approaches to cater to different learning styles. Ultimately, I choose the method based on it's success and also how much the student enjoys it. Ultimately, the student needs to enjoy learning.
I have been a camp counselor, tutor, coach and teacher. I have taught English in Ghana, preschool in Argentina and special education in the Bronx. I have taught and worked with children of all levels, ages and backgrounds. I am very strong in writing and communication, but have also taught math up to fifth grade. I have taught science and social studie ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have several years of tutoring youth at my church. Students range in ages between 4 to 21 years of age. I have tutor students in elementary and middle school math, english, languaage arts and history.
I enjoy teaching and workind with children of all ages. I believe that students learn better working in small groups or one on one. I also believe that students will learn better with a more hands on approach to the material. Students also learn better if they are able to relate the material to their insterest. I am patient, hard working and enjoy working with children.

More About This Tutor...

I truly enjoy working with children and would love to go back to school and obtain my Masters in education. I feel that each child has their own way of connecting to education and it's a magic moment when you, the teacher, find and help them utilize that connection. I am calm and patient, bubbly and outgoing, creative and responsible. Most importantly, I love helping people and being an individual that can make a difference.
I graduated with a double major from Fairfield University where I was involved with volunteer groups that tutored middle school aged children from surrounding areas. Over the years I have also spent time as a nanny and have been in charge of homework and school projects. I am confident that my nurturing and energetic personality is the perfect combination to engage children to want to excel.

I wouldn't have a "professional" description for teaching style as my education was solidly based in the sciences. However, I believe that by teaching intuitive thought processes and critical thinking skills, students can easily adapt to the tasks given be they in science or liberal arts.
While planning for a career in medicine, I obtained a BS in biology with a minor in Chemistry. During the application and acceptance process I was an adjunct faculty member at a local technical college. My courses taught were remedial Algebra, biology, and anatomy and physiology. During the hours between classes I was a paid Tutor in the college's learning assistance center.

More About This Tutor...

My heart lies with children! I want nothing more to be surround by young minds. I believe that all should be provided with the opportunity to learn. While every child deserves a fair chance of growing as a learner, not all children can learn at the same pace and manner. I intend to provide the best education and knowledge that I possibly can with my given skills. I am one who learns through experiences, visualization, and discovery. I believe that it is important to give children the opportunity to learn through experiences as well. I want to be an educator that provides the environment and tools for children to discover these experiences.
My experience in the education field may be a very short period of time, but the work and effort that I've put into my work has proved to be nothing short of successful. I have earned my bachelor's degree of arts in Early Childhood Education, whi ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I first started to study music when I was 11 years old. I grew a love for the clarinet and played for many years in middle school and high school. In college, I majored in clarinet and also studied all wind/percussion instruments as well as piano. I obtained my BA instrumental teaching degree (K-12) through Western Carolina University in June of 2003. Through the years, I have had the privilage and pleasure of teaching band in a classroom setting, marching band, and private lessons.
The reason I became a teacher was to transfer my love of music to my students and also to see the joy of their successes. There is nothing like seeing the smile of success on a students face. I care greatly for all students that I have taught and will teach.

More About This Tutor...

As an educator, I strive to improve the student's study habits, test taking skills and overall understanding of the subject. I am patient and encourage questions from the student. Also, I believe that "hands on" practice is the best way to really learn a subject. I like to break things down into smaller parts and let the student practice and grasp each concept instead of just showing them how to do it. Repetition is important to the learning process, so I frequently use practice problems to reinforce the daily lesson. I also like to identify the source of the problem and fix it even if I have to go back a few levels from what the student is currently learning. Although my natural style of teaching is patient and persistent, I am capable of adapting to many different styles to ensure that the student learns.
