I believe in individualized teaching. In my sixth grade classroom, I individualized instruction wherever possible. In reading I tested my students and placed them in books at their reading level. I had them write reading summaries and corrected their first drafts. In sixth weeks, I retested and in most instances moved students to a higher level. In my math classes, I tested students and had them begin at the level that they needed to master. If a student could not add, I had him work on his addition skills. I moved students to the next skill level once they had mastered the level that they were working on. Of course, I did group teaching in my classroom, but I individualized wherever possible.
I taught for twenty five years at the middle school level mostly in a self contained sixth grade classroom. In addition to teaching reading, English, math, science,and social studies, I t ... read more

I strive to include various learning styles when working with children. Some students learn best by listening or writing, while others need movement or tactile experiences to help in comprehension. I believe in keeping students engaged at all times, to minimize wasted time. Every child has potential. A teacher just has to know how to reach each child, and that happens when the students builds trust with the teacher.
I have taught music in public education for the last 15 years. I have been involved in church music ministry for over 25 years, and currently am the church pianist in Stockton, Ca. I love working with children of all ages. Math is my second love and I almost majored in math instead of music. Math was always easy for me in school. Although I don't enjoy writing, I am very strong in written English and enjoy proofreading papers.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have always been passionate about language and thinking critically and I take great joy in discussing and sharing with others. From a tutoring perspective this means I am always energetic and optimistic because I enjoy the work. I am competent in my subject areas and organized because I like to make sure that time spent is time spent productively. But foremost of all my traits as a tutor is that I am entirely adaptive to a student's needs. Some students need a more professional teacher figure to work with, others need a peer or a mentor, finding that need and filling it is something I excel at.
During my time at Cal State Stanislaus, where I earned my bachelor's degree in English, I was selected to tutor other students because of my mastery of grammar and writing. I spent two years working for the University's Writing Center. I tutored ESL students and Freshmen on how best to imp ... read more

Obtaining my Bachelors and Masters from a prestigious university has provided me with not only a pertinent educational background but also a great appreciation for the importance of education. The courses I taught at Rutgers University and my current teaching position at IADT have provided me with invaluable experience in being able to work with a diverse group of students with different learning styles. My area of expertise lies in Math and Economics, however, I am also proficient in Science, English and effectively knowledgeable in all other subjects. I am very driven to not only educate, but also instill the value of education and a proper attitude and study habits towards learning that will last a lifetime.
Seeing the light bulb go off in my students’ head is a constant reminder of my passion for teaching. I believe that all students are capable of learning and succeeding h ... read more

More About This Tutor...

As a accomplished student, I realized I always had help along the help with achieving academic success. From teachers and counselors to my peers and older students. I began to help other with academics as early as the third grade, however I began to commit to tutoring in High School and continue it through-out college, in hopes to eventually becoming a teacher in the future.
I believe anyone can teach a subject, having enough knowledge of a subject allows one to pass it on. However, I feel what many teachers do not do is teach students how to learn. It is in my belief that teaching students to learn enables them to think independently allowing them to become more creative rather than repetitive. So not only do I teach students the subject, I teach them how to learn and apply it to every other subject.

A Little Bit About Me...

After earning my BS in Biological Sciences from UC Santa Barbara, I decided to live abroad in South America as a Peace Corps Volunteer to help others and put what I learned to practical use. I was stationed in Bolivia where I taught natural resource management, ecology, basic science, and nutrition to children as well as adults. I am fluent in both English and Spanish. In high school, I also tutored elementary school children and enjoyed it greatly.
I believe that positive reinforcement, patience, and a genuine desire to see one’s students excel is the best way to success. I feel that the only way to get through to a child is to be his or her friend first and foremost, and to treat him or her as an equal. I love being both a tutor and a friend. My approach to teaching is more hands-on, rather than lecture based, because I feel that if the child is actively participating the lesson ... read more

The style of teaching I am trained in is a Communicative Approach in teaching. This approach takes the subject to be studied: as an expression of meaning; seeks activities which promote learning; meet the objective needs of the student; is a process in which the student shares, negotiates and interacts with the curriculum and the instructor; and, facilitates their learning by tasks, text with guidance of the teacher. As a result, the student’s instructional experience is the promotion of an authentic learning experience. This will be evidenced through the learner’s ability to communicate the subject matter studied in increased vocabulary, dialogue discussion/response and written form.
