Chinese, Guitar, History Tutor in Bay Area Seeks Students

Mandarin Chinese - I use Total Physical Response Teaching (TPRS) when teaching elementary aged novice learners, which teaches Chinese as well as American Sign Language. History - I teach history using the many multi-media databases that I subscribe to each month. Musical instruments - patience and hands on. I ask the student what song they want to learn and start learning the first lesson.
Through my educational studies and life experiences I have gained a firm grasp and appreciation for Mandarin Chinese and Chinese culture. Furthermore, I am a gifted teacher and wish to share my knowledge of China, as well as other subjects like music, history, and art, with others who may find some facets of these subjects to be challenging.

My comments on tutoring Government : I am well-versed in US Government having taught it to high school seniors.

I believe learning should always be engaging and meaningful. It is critical to address individual student learning modalities and needs so the student can experience great success. I have always been a teacher of best practices, meaning incorporating those strategies and methodologies which are the most effective. They work because they promote high student investment and engagement.
I have been a dynamic, successful elementary, middle and high school teacher as well as college instructor of Art, English, French and History for many years. I also taught in a two way language immersion school ( English and Spanish) for six years so I can teach Beginning and Intermediate levels of Spanish. While teaching, I have always taken courses in the best practices of teaching as well as courses in subject matter content. I have tutored people of all ages, learning styles and needs in a range o ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

The beginning of everything, I've got three younger sisters and there has always been a fair amount of helping out where they're concerned. I've babysat since I was twelve and for the past few years I've worked as a nanny. It's not exactly what you would expect for a tutor but I've been offering homework help in those areas for many years.

A Little Bit About Me...

I love to tutor because it gives me an opportunity to help students build their skills and to teach them that they have the ability to learn anything,they want to learn and are willing to put their mind, determination and dedication into. I strongly believe that most if not all students are capable of learning anything they truely desire to learn, if they are willing to work hard and be determined to acquire the knowledge. I believe that this is possible with a teacher or tutor that has the skills and dedication to transfer their knowledge or drive for knowledge to their students.
My Teaching Style is to build a relationship with the student and their family. That is based on trust, confidence and a great deal of praise. Everyones performance is driven by the encouragement that they get on a daily basis. So a very important part of my teaching style is to include the whole family. ... read more

More About This Tutor...

My first tutoring experiences started in college when I was in a study group. From there I signed up for the college's tutor program in history and Remedial English. After college, I reinforced my knowledge with informal studies in US, Asian, European and Islamic history. From 2005 to 2008 I taught US History classes at St. John's Orthodox Academy in San Francisco to middle and high school students. There I wrote the school's first College Board approved AP curriculum for US History. These diverse experiences have strengthened my enthusiasm and my skills in both history and in teaching it to others.
My tutoring goal is to work myself out of my job. In other words, I am trying to help each student learn the subject so that he or she will succeed in the future with less outside help. Initially, I ask the student to review what he has learned and what he feels is need ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As the recent recipient of an MA, I was very much driven to achieve a high level of excellence in education. I have been employed in some facet of education for the past seven years. My employment experiences include tutoring, classroom assistance, substitute teaching and head teaching. Most germane to this position were the four years I served as a tutor with Cal-SOAP (another tutoring organization). In this position, I tutored students both in the classroom and after school. I have experience with both the Junior High and High School age groups, tutoring in nearly every subject imaginable.
After seven years of experience, I have developed an engaging yet informal teaching style. I will be sure to be patient and work at my client's pace, while also giving them that extra nudge when they need it. I am eager to help my clients improve their grades and achieve their academic goals.

During the ups and downs of my undergraduate career, I became self-aware of the challenges that a student faces, especially within subjects that are not his/her strong suits. I believe the best approach is one where self-motivation from within is encouraged, as any subject is difficult without the right motivation. To identify the right motivation, as a tutor back in 2001, I took time to discuss with the students their interests and goals. By understanding them on this personal level, I felt it was easier to connect with them and make them realize that their success was of great importance to me.
As a graduate from a top-10 university and from graduate school, I know what it takes to get into a top program and succeed at a high level. In the past 5 year, I have been working as a consultant in the environmental industry, but want to take some time off now to explore other intere ... read more
