A Little Bit About Me...

I have a passion for teaching others and thoroughly enjoy the satisfaction of seeing others succeed. In addition to my FT position at Stanislaus University, I am currently teaching adult learners how to prepare for competing in the labor market and fine tuning their job hunting techniques. I have about 6 yrs.experience as a trainer, workshop facilitator/creator as well as over 25 years of professional working experience. I am able to effectively teach not only adult learners, but children as well. Regardless of age, you need to determine which type of learning style each individual has and what will work.
My teaching style is one where I combine patience, efficiency, technology, variety as well as traditional methods. I believe that you need to keep learning fun and if you mix up different methods then it keeps the aspect of learning from getting boring. If a student gets ... read more

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 taught electives is video filming and remedial reading. In my experience as a teacher, I discovered that all students can learn if they are properly motivated. I found that I could best motivate a student if I found what they were interested in, and what grade level they were working at. I also worked for five years as a substitute teacher.
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 ma ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have worked with children and young people all my adult life from teaching VBS as a teenager to presently being a tutor and substitute teacher. In addition to my majors, I have minors in Greek and Western Culture. I wrote a substantial Master's Thesis. For the past 12 years I have also worked as a pastor. Part of my work in this capacity involves writing and presenting two sermons every week which is equivalent to researching, writing and presenting two ten page papers every week. In addition, I presently teach Greek and Latin, tutor students in math (pre-algebra and algebra), Latin, natural science, and writing.
My approach to teaching begins with having a high expectation for what my students can accomplish. Therefore, my goal is, in part, to help my students love learning and to translate the love for learning into higher achievements. I try to inspire the students In ... 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...

As a credentialed teacher, I have a lot of experience teaching, tutoring, and working with students in other capacities. Before teaching full time, I taught at Sylvan Learning center, substitute taught, and taught as a one on one aide for a child with special needs. As a fifth grade teacher I taught all the required curriculum, coached Jr. High Volleyball, and tutored in after school academies for language arts and English Learners. Last summer I taught algebra to 8th graders who were at risk. Currently I am an After School Program Coordinator for a local elementary school in Modesto.
My teaching style is very relational. I try to make learning come alive through using lots of personal examples that students can relate to. While we need to maintain a standards-based focus to help students succeed on standardized tests, there is much that can be done to help bring learning to li ... read more

I enjoy teaching and interacting with children from all age groups and different backgrounds. I am patient, easy to understand, and seek to enrich my students' experience with academics. I like to be as productive and creative with the time given for each student so that they may gain as much knowledge as they can to master subjects that they are struggling with. I believe each student is different and this calls for utilization of various teaching techniques to enhance their understanding. My goal is to help students realize their potential and help them understand the value of excelling in school and their future.

I believe that students can reach their potential if they are given the tools that they need. My job is to be the toolbox for them. As a special education teacher, I adapt my teaching style to meet the needs of the students. I believe that a child should be given a vast amount of positive reinforcement and always be spoken to and taught with respect. I also believe children need boundaries set that will consistently be reinforced. Our job is to teach them those boundaries but to do so with compassion. It truly makes my day, when I see a student that finally "gets" what we are discussing or learning. Teaching is a great joy for me.

I enjoy working with children. My theory of teaching is using the multiple intelligence theory. I believe that all children have the capacity to learn but in their own way. I like to incoporate different styles of learning in a lesson. I also like to incorporate hands on activities, because I believe that doing is learning.
I have been working with children from K-12 grade since 2001. I was part of the Math Academy in 2002. I have been subsituting in grades K-8 since 2009. I am fluent in the Spanish and I have experience working with migrant as well as with English Learner students. I worked with EL students for 3 years. I have also had the chance to work with special needs children.

I believe that every child is different from the other in learning style and capacity. As a teacher I think it is really important to give suitable and desired space to student to flourish, and students must be provided with appropriate surrounding to learn and discover their hidden potential. I firmly believe in eclectic approach to teaching as one method cannot suit all teaching situations. As an English teacher, I understand the importance of teaching strategies like lead time, group work, peer review, assessment, revision session, and writers’ workshop.
In my 12 years of teaching experience I provided instruction at different levels from secondary class to college students. I taught English Literature and Language at undergraduate level as well.
