A Little Bit About Me...

During my time in college, I switched to become an educator as I discovered a passion to see the lives of children transformed. During my process of gaining my BS in Physical Education, I worked with many after school programs and taught both elementary and high school during my student teaching. Since college, I have taught and worked with children and youth around the world and currently volunteer in my local community, heading up an after school program that focuses on tutoring K-8th grade.
My greatest strength lies with my patience with children and flexibility to see what style of learning enables the child to best master the subject. I desire to lead children in finding the answer which will not only teach them the subject they are learning, but will enable them to reason and find the answers in other classes as well. It is simple to teach a child to memorize but to teach ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Since graduating from highschool, I have had the desire to encourage and expand the knowledge base and love of learning for each student in my care. Having grown up in multiple countries, I am fluent in English, Spanish, French and have a MA in Christian Education. In my 11 1/2 years as an educator, I have taught every subject in elementary school, with an emphasis on arithmetic, history, science, reading, composition and grammar. In highschool, I have taught history, writing, composition and logic. I currently homeschool my two daughters, who are in 3rd and 5th grade.
I am a firm believer that each child is special and distinct and each should be approached differently in order to achieve the maximum results. My goal is to instill in each student a love of learning which will benefit them for the rest of their studies and lives, not just through their current difficulty. Eve ... read more

I have known that teaching is my calling since I was a Freshman in high school. Learning how everything works has always facinated me and sharing that has been equally rewarding. I believe that learning can be fun when it is relevant and interactive. Students have to be given a vested interest in the learning process, asked questions. An environment of trust in which student's inquiry is encouraged is the best way of learning. Moreover, I thing that teachers have to use complementing mediums for teaching (ie. Visual aids, sensory aids, stories,music, etc.).
I'm a senior at Fresno State, soon I will have a B.A. in History, which certifies my ability to research, analyze, and write proficiently. Besides having attained writing skills and expertise in the Social Sciences, I have continually improved my knowledge in several academic fields out of my own initiative; I have honed m ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have tutored children in reading last summer. It was one of the most gratifying things I have done. I worked with English as second language children ranging from ages 5 to 13. We used a lesson plan and several activities to help children in achieving their reading level goals. Also, in my undergrad experience, I excelled in writing and was very good with meeting deadlines.
I am a very down to earth person especially when it comes to kids. I always try to lighten up the mood and make learning things interesting and fun. I don't like to dismiss when I see a child having trouble in something. Every person has a different way of learning, I try to cater to each of their needs.

I began tutoring during my senior year of high school as a favor for a family friend. I soon realized the demand for private tutoring services and began taking it more seriously. While attaining my Bachelor of Science degree in biochemistry, I would frequently tutor friends who needed extra assistance. Years of laboratory experience allowed me to gain an understanding of scientific writing styles, and to expand my writing and researching techniques. After completing my university studies, I began tutoring many students from my local high in various math topics.
My teaching style can be described as casual and comfortable. Students who are having problems understanding certain concepts are better able to grasp difficult ideas when they feel they are in a comfortable environment where they are free to ask questions and discuss their problems openly. My goal is to be informative ... read more

I was a tutor/liaison for the Native American community in a secondary setting. Working with different social and economic settings, I have become culturally sensitive of the different ethics, ways of teaching and learning using different tactics in teaching.
I am driven to have all students learn in different ways. My goal is to make sure the students have the understanding of what is expected of them in the educational system. I enjoy seeing the expession on the students face once they finally understand a concept they didn't think they were able to conquer.

As a passionate educator, I was motivated to learn various teaching strategies that enhanced my desire to teach every student in need of an excellent education. To receive my Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education tremendously enhanced my knowledge to expand the horizon of every student that I taught. As an educator it is essential to know various teaching strategies for teaching math, reading, writing, science, social studies, art, and physical education. Various authentic assessments, integrated thematic units, hands on manipulatives, multicultural curriculum development , rubrics/portfolios, and building repoire with every student is of great significance in my teaching strategies. Therefore it is my goal to create autonomy for every lesson and to build resilience for every student I taught.

The most effective teaching style is to encourage self-directed learning. However, writing is a skill that requires patience and the proper tools. I believe in being present in the moment to give my students the focus they deserve. Also, I am warm natured and offer guidance and encouragement. Learning needs to be fun and rewarding with confidence in the mentor. I put my best effort into seeing this happen with my students.
During my undergraduate schooling I taught one unit Freshman Writing Workshops at CSUMB. I also tutored extensively in English and composition. I have a minor in journalism and extensive writing experience. Professionally, I was an airline pilot for eight years. As a captain I worked in confined spaces for long periods mentoring junior pilots. I am well trained in fostering a positive learning environment.

I have been working with students since I was in Middle School myself. I went to college to become a special education teacher and am currently working as a resource specialist. I work with students who have learning disabilities, are at risk, have emotional disturbances, autism, or just need a helping hand. I have also taught in general education classrooms.
I believe every child is capable of matching and exceeding our highest expectations. Every child learns differently and that is my approach. I don't believe in cookie cutter education. I design programs around students interests, needs, and abilities. I believe that positive feedback and reinforcement get better results than negativity, and it is my job to help your child be successful. It is my job to help your child buy into their own education and realize how great it is to be a lifelong learner.

I have a bachelor's degree in Finance. Currently I am an electrical engineering student who has completed three semesters of calculus. I love math and I spend a lot of time the last two years studying algebra, trig, geometry, and especially calculus. I have strong communication skills and have an ability to make material simple.
I have no direct experience teaching. I do have a lot of experience working with other students in my classes and explaining how to to solve problems and going over ideas and concepts. I am very patient and I think I can definetly help younger individuals who need help because I am easy to get along with and can explain things in a easier, clearer manner.

I enjoying helping others and teaching them what I know, whatever age they may be. I am very patient and friendly, which are characteristics I find to be important in a tutor. Also, I can be flexible in my teaching style, since I understand that not everyone learns in the same manner. I know that subjects such as math and science can be particularly difficult to understand, but I am willing to take the extra time to ensure that the individual I’m working with is able to grasp the material. Through support and encouragement, I feel that any type of learner is able to overcome their difficulties and be successful with their education. Education is extremely important in my life and I feel that I need to share my devotion with those around me.

For me, relating to children is effortless; I am quite apt to quickly gaining their attention as well as their confidence. Sadly, many students face the challenge of losing focus; as a teacher, I hope to be able to instill unwavering motivation and drive into each student, and help shape their characters that is essential in fulfilling a rewarding life as they enter into adulthood. All it takes is an influential mentor who is willing to put in 110 percent long after school hours are over. Educators should not only teach, but also still strive to continue to expand their own knowledge in order to exemplify to our students the importance of opening one's mind and broadening one's perspectives.

I am passionate about education. For this reason, I obtained both my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Political Science. Until recently, I was pursuing my teaching credential at the University of San Francisco. Through this program, I was able to master courses including the education of exceptional children, and teaching and learning. My collegiate experience has paved the path for exceptional educational tutoring and development. As a graduate teaching assistant at San Francisco State University, I provided interactive lectures and individual tutoring assistance to students in the European Union, Comparative, and American politics courses. More recently, I engaged student learning as a tutor for SCORE educational centers in the fields of reading, writing, math, and algebra.
