To err is human, and every moment can be a learning experience. Being understanding as well as authoritative is the balance I have with my students: a mutually respectful situation.
Enrolled in Advanced Placement for all of High School and graduating with a 3.5 GPA, I have five years of tutoring experience, students ranging from 5 years to college age. I also have experience in resume assistance, test preparation, and public speaking. I am currently in the process of getting a Bachelor’s Degree in English Language and Composition, as well as teaching credentials for the state of California.

It seems to me that everyone can learn, in different ways and at different times. My approach is to have several options of which approach will be successful. Being a 1:1 teacher allows me the freedom and time to work with a student on a concept in a number of ways until the cognition sets in for him. Being enthusiastic and excited about the learning experience is contagious. I always think about the teachers who were indifferent compared to the ones who were animated. I am definitely animated, excited, and enthusiastic. I believe in combining visual, tactile, and aural whenever possible.
My experience in the teaching field has been primarily as a substitute on a daily basis. I have some long-term sub assignments in my resume as well. For the past 7 years I have limited my assignments to "Home/Hospital". I meet 5 hours per week with each student to provide complete instruction ... read more

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 have taught in private schools for six and a half years, and a year in public schools as a student and substitute teacher. I have enjoyed my experience in the education field and feel that my students have learned in my classroom. I have had managerial experience in being Director of the Preschool at a large church who had a daily preschool program, which I upgraded to an academic preschool and tripled in enrollment while I was director. I had my own tutoring service for two plus years and had success working with special needs students raising their grade levels.
I work at knowing my students learning styles and tailoring my teaching to meeting their needs, by using different teaching strategies to engage them in learning. I try to be approachable, so the students can feel good about talking to me about their concerns, hopefully leading them to be able to work efficiently in ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I graduated summa cum laude with a BA in Communication and a Minor in Bible. I worked as a television and radio writer before earning two single subject credentials, one in English and one in Social Science. I am in my fifth year teaching at a unique charter high school. At my school, I work one on one with my students. I have become quite adept at creating rapport. Some students come to my school because they are highly gifted and want to graduate at an accelerated pace, while some of my students are years behind their grade level. I have helped many students graduate and move to college. My main expertise is in writing, Language Arts and Social Science.
My five years of teaching has reinforced my belief that all students are capable of learning. I believe that learning is one part effort and one part technique. If a person is willing, they can, and will, learn. It is my job to ... read more

I enjoy working with students of all ages and backgrounds. My teaching style is dynamic and I strive to adjust my methods based on the needs and personality of each of my students. I am patient, have an excellent sense of humor, and enjoy building a relationship with both students and their families.

In addition, I have over five years of dance instruction and organizing exp ... read more

I have successfully homeschooled K - 3rd grade (reading, writing, math, science, social studies).

"Education is not the filling of a bucket, but the lighting of a fire." This quote by William Butler Yeats summarizes my philosophy of education. I love seeing students become excited about learning and becoming self-directed learners. Oftentimes, this means that the student takes the lead and I am there mainly to provide encourageme ... read more

My undergraduate degree from was a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with a minor in Biology, so I have a lot of experience with writing papers and utilizing analysis skills in math and science. In addition, I spend a large portion of my time in college as a tutor for other students, particularly in subjects such as Chemistry, Economics, and Calculus. Recently, I have tutored large groups of elementary school students in the community, following a specific standards established by the California Board of Education. Also, as a current graduate student, I feel that I am able to assist undergraduate college students to a great extent and possibly guide them along a path to further their education as well.
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 ... read more

It is my belief that teaching is an honor and a passion, not a profession. Everyone has a different learning style and teaching to an individual is very important. I also believe that teaching is as much a method of guidance as much as it is a method of instruction. Often times, students will learn on their own if you give them the opportunity for exploration. My goal as a teacher/tutor is to help students understand how they learn, and to inspire them to want to learn.
Throughout my high school career I maintained a GPA of at least 3.5. The same can be said for my college career so far. By majoring in Liberal Studies, I have gained an extensive knowledge of teaching methods as well as the ability to teach many different types of learners. I have put this knowledge and ability to use both last semester and this semester by tutoring students at Fresno State. This semester, m ... read more
