My approach is a little different using humor to destress students. I believe in each student understanding the underlying concepts via instruction, physical materials and hands-on activities. I have a lot of patience. I love working with different and even difficult and shy students. I am a seasoned veteran tutor, and I enjoy, no love, mentoring, teaching, volunteering, training, or instructing almost as a hobby! I am especially passionate about career education and counseling as well as psychology and mathematics. Oooh and English too! I enjoy playing guitar and writing, also playing and instructing playing soccer.

Communication is key, so I will look for the specific interests that a particular student has and connect with where their strengths reside. From there we can build on these high points and draw them into other areas where their abilities need improvement. I worked as a tutor while doing respite work for United Cerebral Palsy of Orange County in California. I am proud to say that the young man I worked with the longest is now finishing his BA in justice studies at Cal State Dominguez Hills. I also tutored as a substitute aid for the Ocean View School District in Orange County, California. After earning my BA in journalism from CSUF I have published in a number of print and online media outlets, and I am currently pursuing an MFA in creative writing.

I have 24 years of writing legal motions, briefs, appeals and pleadings, including Complaints and Answers. I love to speak Spanish, especially with native speakers, something I have enjoyed doing since traveling with my Westwood HS Spanish Club to Hermosillo and Chihuahua in 1968 and 1969. My Spanish fluency blossomed in 1971, as I began living in Chile for two years, working occasionally with the Chilean Dept of Visas. Since then, I have traveled throughout Belize, Bolivia, Chile, Costa Rica, Cuba, Guatemala, Nicaragua, and Mexico. Teaching others to speak Spanish brings me great joy. Re Spanish, after a review of the fundamentals, I ask questions in Spanish, and my student responds, after which we discuss his response.

Although instructors/tutors have a preferred teaching style, I will often mix in some elements of other styles. If I wish to take a more open approach to my teaching, I include a blend of various styles which is very effective. Teacher-centered, where the teacher is expert and authority in presenting information works well with students who need little direction from the instructor, and/or those who accept responsibility for their own learning. While in other situations, I will take a learner-centered approach thus viewing my role as more of a facilitator of student learning. In 1999-2000, I provided highly individualized, one-on-one instruction in the client's homes while working with a local tutoring company. I am an experienced educator and state certified instructor with impeccable credentials and a heartfelt enthusiasm for teaching. More recently, I have tutored adults participating

Using mental picture to write and editing with colors is the best way to learn writing. I have been teaching K4-8 since 1994 as a substitute and certified teacher. I hold a BA in Computer Science, and Mathematics, and a Master in Elementary Education from Grand Canyon University. As an international student who came to the USA with no English, I found ways to help me learn and understand American Read and Writing Standards and graduated with honors. These tips can help anybody regardless of their background become a master reader and writer in two sessions. As a teacher, I encourage students to learn the traditional methods of learning, then use them as a guideline and modifier them to find their own learning style. One-size-fits-all only work when it comes to tube socks!

I like to create fun jingles, or do the old-school teaching way (which helped me): writing words that are troubling students a certain amount of times, pronouncing difficult words over and over again (as well as sounding them out). I believe in encouragement and working with people in need. I am 18 years of age and am extremely gifted in the writing field. I have always been a step - or more - above all other students in my classes. For instance, when I was in second grade, I was placed into an advancement class for reading. My writing is exquisite, and I have impeccable grammar, which is an imperative benefit (due to my recent interest in writing novels) which has become my specialty along with spelling. When I was a sophomore in high school, I started putting together and creating my first completed novel. The story needs work still, however - for my age at that time - everyone who
