I have experience being an English tutor to four different families during my time abroad in Barcelona. My students varied in age, the youngest being seven and the oldest being 13. This experience allowed me to better understand students at all different levels and what teaching methods children at different ages better respond to. I also have experience using my passion for art as tools of learning. I have experience teaching drawing and painting as tools of stress relief and of memorization. I also tend to encourage students to read and help to kickstart their overall motivation for learning and discovering by tapping in to their creative as well as academic sides.

As a graduate, I've been very blessed to have received a degree in Business Communication. In college I learned how to become a better educator, and communicate with them on the highest level. Although, I tutor in all of the academic areas, I also enjoy helping my student appreciate the art of becoming a good writer, and thinkers. My students are also encouraged to read for relaxation, and entertainment. Making the education process fun is also an asset. The extensive course work, I received in college has enabled me to teach others to become academically proficient.
Teaching can be a most wonderful adventure. I believe every child can learn. At times students or overwhelming with new concepts, and they need to be encouraged, and praise until they can accomplish the task at hand. I enjoy seeing the appearence of awareness on a childs face, when they have accomplished a goal, or sol ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy working with students of all ages. As a teacher, there is nothing greater than to see my students succeed. I am more results-oriented and I encourage students to work persistently until they have accomplished their goals. I am friendly, patient, and easy going. Although I push my students to work hard, I also like to have fun and make the learning experience enjoyable as well.
I have a very diverse background and I have many years of experience teaching in different subjects. I was an English teacher for one year in Korea, teaching children at a public school. I have taught fine art at a private school in Salinas. I have also been teaching martial arts and self-defense for over 10 years. I have worked with children as young as 4, to adults in their senior years. I hold a bachelor's degree in Business Marketing from San Jose State and I graduated with honors.

I enjoy working with all children and I am looking forward to putting my experiences into practice. I am motivated, determined, and I strive for excellence; and I believe that one must do something they enjoy doing in order to achieve that excellence. As a tutor, I try my best to place myself in the student's shoe/perspective so that I can provide them with a better method of learning the materials. I also encourage the students rather than give up on them because the best thing a teacher/tutor can do for their student is to provide them with support and care; and let them know that you are there for them throughout the process of their learning. I may be imperfect, but I hope to be a role model to those that need one.
I currently graduated from the University of California, Berkeley with a BS in Society and Environment. I also graduated with a Minor in Education. I have been tutor ... read more

More About This Tutor...

As an educator, I have been given the opportunity to teach in various venues and modalities. Through these opportunities I have taught adults, children and teenagers using many techniques and styles. My education and experiences as a military spouse, an adult college student, Girl Scout Troop Leader, teacher and business owner have given me knowledge in various subject matters (i.e., English Language Learners, Language Composition, Mathematics, History, Science, Music, Business Management, and Team Building) that would benefit many levels of learning.
I love teaching students to discover the answers to questions and problems that otherwise eluded them. I am a firm believer in student-centered learning, meaning the students are given the opportunity to research, discover, and progress through various techniques. Providing the appropriate learning environment is essential for a stu ... read more

I care about students and I love helping them develop skills that will benefit them in the future. I believe in recognizing that each child is an individual and that each child learns at his/her own pace. I am extremely patient, easy going, considerate, flexible, punctual, and organized. My role as an educator is very important, and I take it very seriously, because I want your child to succeed academically.

More About This Tutor...

Over my years of experience providing supplemental instruction to a diverse range of students, I have found that I possess a breadth of knowledge and interpersonal skill-sets that make me an effective teacher. I teach from the understanding that every student has a unique educational experience and that there is no one way to effectively get your point across. Utilizing patience, compassion, as well as a heightened sense of cultural literacy, I am able to help students grasp lessons and objectives that had been previously intangible. I believe that educators hold a great responsibility to their students, and take pride in the accomplishments realized by my students.
Throughout the course of my education, I have had the opportunity to work with many great instructors and professors; learning the qualities and characteristics of what comprises an effective teacher. I currently posses ... read more

I believe in positive reinforcement and constructive criticism. Many of the children and adults I have worked with have found some inspiration through my way of teaching, which is a very wonderful compliment.
My experience as a tutor has been fulfilling. I started as an educator for children in grades k through 12, developing and implementing education plans revolving around well-being, art and environment. From that I became a tutor in the natural sciences, as well as study and organizational skills.

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy and respect each child's unique personality and learning style. I believe the best way to help a child learn and understand is to discover what excites and interests him or her. This individualized approach motivates a student to want to learn, and the improvement in skills will then follow. I believe it is important to recognize small successes and reward progress, and teach in a patient, understanding manner. I also think learning should be fun and hands on, so I incorporate art to enhance the lessons. I strive to make the experience enjoyable and productive.
I have a B.A. in Graphic Communication, and a background in education and art and design. I have a lifelong love of learning, reading, and researching. My extensive teaching experience includes over twenty years as a substitute teacher, primarily in the elementary grades. I specialized in Language Arts, Math, Study S ... read more
