A Little Bit About Me...

For as long as I can remember I have desired to become a teacher. I didn't pursue it initially because I was lured to careers which netted a greater return on my investment, I thought. I later returned to school and continue education eagerly. I am very much able to connect to students with various backgrounds, abilities and challenges. I have developed a style that not only includes direct instruction but hands-on, inquiry based learning that fosters retention and is delivered in a positive, upbeat, fun environment. I love children and working with them comes very natural for me. I was born to teach and it is manifested by the two-way love and respect shown as well as the progress made by my students.
Prior to teaching, I worked as a human resources professional and have learned all phases of human resources with a specialty for recruitment. I have taken the tenets of huma ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As one of the few women to be admitted to a well known university in China, based upon my academic abilities, I was chosen to teach University students in the foreign language department for one and one half years. In the past twelve years I have worked in the International Banking arena for foreign and domestic banking institutions. During this time I advanced through the banking ranks to supervisor positions dealing with the various banking laws of each country wherein international transactions were processed on a daily basis. I wish to use my skills as a multi-lingual Asian to teach others as my native country is one of the largest foreign traders with America and the world.
Having taught individuals and classroom students, I feel confident that my skills with all ages will benefit both the student and myself. I enjoy teaching very much and have a teaching approach that is ... read more

All students can learn, but in different ways. I, for one, learn best by watching how something is done. I can read about it, or hear a lecture about it, but seeing it helps me understand the subject. This type of teaching would be done with movies, drawing or acting out the situation. In my teaching, I try to use all methods available to me to help the students learn and to use their creativity. I especially try to get students to work in groups and to share their work with each other. I find that pier groups provide the best help in understanding the subject matter. The classroom should be a learning place of activities and fun.

A Little Bit About Me...

My principal recently encouraged me to become a teacher and my co-workers commend on how the children love me. I believe this is because of my gentle, open and caring attitude towards others plus my intense love of learning and knowledge. The adults I have tutored in the past still keep in contact with me. I genuinely care about my students and encourage them to contact me whenever they need help outside of our session. I also think I am very resourceful and take initiative to create specific guides and worksheets for my students. I will be attending the CSU San Bernardino campus in Palm Desert to obtain my teaching credential. I cannot imagine working in any other field other than education.
My background in tutoring includes ESL, elementary, middle school and college students. I have tutored predominately in Language Arts, which is my forte and passion. Since I am triling ... read more

I worked with students from the age of eight to eighteen. Each age group provided its own set of challenges and opportunities to strengthen my experience as a tutor. I worked with children in small groups or one-on-one, based on the child's learning style. I encouraged the children to set their academic goals high and use the support from their peers to help them achieve their goals. I have no one set teaching style, I get to know each student's learning style so that they can benefit the most from the tutoring session. Through patience, respect and dedication, I work with students so that they can achieve their goals.

A Little Bit About Me...

Although I tutored math (geometry, algebra II) and biology in high school, I ended up graduating from UCLA with a BA in Political Science. Somewhat of an about-face in studies, I sought to be more versatile academically and subsequently was enriched with an encompassing and very satisfying social sciences education. Preparation for the degree required "allied field" courses to be taken in other social science classes such as sociology, history, economics and psychology. Courses in statistics and writing were also part of the program. I am well versed to teach math (up to algebra II), biology and any subjects pertaining to social studies (government, economics, world and U.S. history).
One of the key elements of tutoring is communication between the tutor and student. Encouraging discussion instead of lecturing of the subject is important. Facilitating good rapport allows me to ... read more

I am a retired teacher, middle school, high school and district office administrator. I have worked with supplemental providers in my past position as Director of Curriculum and Instruction (Ed. Services). I presently sub for Palm Springs Unified in a k-12 capacity. I can tutor in all elementary and middle school subjects and in math through high school geometry. I am very skilled at the writing process, reading process and using effective instructional practices.
I am a hands on conceptual style learner and like to teach the same way, I believe that students that can see the "why" can understand and retain what they learn. Engaging learners by using hands on activites can facilitate the learning process.

More About This Tutor...

While I pride myself on being approachable, patient and easy going, I tend to approach teaching in a methodical manner. I believe that student's time and attention is very valuable, and warrants preparation and thoroughness. My initial approach is always to first assess a student's needs, goals, learning style, and accomplishments. Next, I pick a strategy to approach the needs of the student. For example, I might select a straight-forward text or document from which I could teach loosely, such as the book "With Good Reason". (It is an excellent text on argumentative methods.) Editing and reworking methods eventually becomes paramount. I am available to help students electronically. This is a style currently 'in vogue' at my university, espoused by my professors. Students can really benefit from the focused attention it can provide.
