As a recent graduate of one of the top-rated business schools in the nation, I clearly enjoy learning and therefore want to share that with others through tutoring. I have worked with a multitude of students and therefore have learned how to adapt my teaching style to best suit the student’s needs. I’m a firm believer that one can learn anything if they are willing to put in the time and effort. I once thought I would never understand math and later earned an A in a college level calculus course as a high school senior. While tutoring students I believe it is also important to instill confidence in the student and give them the tools to help them succeed on their own. My love for English Literature has allowed me to flourish in English class starting in elementary school. As a freshman in high school I was elected to be a peer tutor. I held the volunteer job for all four years of my high

I graduated with my BS in Human Development and Family Studies from the University of Nevada, Reno College of Education. I completed my internship as a Read and Succeed Elementary Reading Tutor in Washoe County. That experience gave me the skills I needed to help develop confidence in reading, improve reading skills and comprehension, promote and initiate thought, understand cause and effect, and make predictions. I enjoy teaching and working with children in a one-on-one setting. I am qualified to help your child succeed. I am patient, fun, adaptable, flexible, friendly and easy going. I believe that all children have the right to learn in their own way. I can help instill confidence in children as they grow and develop and reach their potential. I provide age and developmentally appropriate learning practices for children in a way that is easy to understand.

As a young child I wanted to be a teacher but eventually went into a different field but the love of teaching never left me. Being detail oriented, I enjoy the process of explaining things methodically and creatively. I like to approach things in a constructive way and always try to view it in the child's perspective. It is important to encourage and motivate the children and make learning fun and easy for them. I have a Bachelors degree in Medical Technology and have a current California license as a Clinical Laboratory Scientist and a Histocompatibility certificate from the American Board of Immunogenetics. I have tutored my nieces and cousins in the past and have done some brief training for people in the workplace. I'm also an artist, besides painting I enjoy writing and poetry. I have a finished manuscript of a picture book for children. My passion for learning is a li

I taught advance instrument design at Stanford University using laser detection technology. The two semsters involved handles on generation of working prototypes. During my time as an graduate student, I tutored undergraduate classes in organic and math while I was a Teachers Assistant for the General Chemistry classes. I ran and graded three lab classes as part of my duties. I homeschool my children in math, art and science. They ask question about a subject and I give them answers to their questions. If I do not know the answer, I then teach them how to look up the answer or work it out from fundamental assumptions. By having them approach me their interest level is peaked and them retain the information. I learned in graduate school how to learn which I then pass along to my students.

I believe in "Assertive Discipline". This style uses lots of verbal praise, rewards and incentives. It keeps learning on a positive, moving forward track. This style of teaching is never negative. It encourages learning through engaging, age-appropriate, research-based, fun activities. It starts by assessing each child to determine the student's strengths and weaknesses. Then the appropriate materials are gathered to address each area of need. Tests, charts, diagrams, folders, manipulatives, and many other electronic learning tools are used to track progress and build confidence in each student. All children can learn if they are properly motivated, diagnosed, and given the appropriate learning materials. I have over twenty years of experience teaching reading.

After obtaining my teaching credential in English, I taught high school English for three years (grades 9 & 10) and drama for one. Then I taught special ed English for two years. I also taught one year of Language Arts (grade 8). I established a peer tutoring and stud habits program at Branham High School for ninth graders who were struggling to pass their classes. At A Place for Teens center in Los Gatos, I ran a peer tutoring program for students who had no other place to do their homework. I am passionate about inspiring students to enjoy reading and writing. It is my goal to find a balance between what they are interested in (ie: their career goals)and what they will be interested in (ie: other cultures). I believe they deserve to be exposed to new things, as well as to express their own interests.

I have enjoyed teaching and tutoring a wide range of students in a vast array of different settings. Most recently, I have tutored reading to 4th graders at an elementary school, taught ESL and GED subjects to adults through an adult education center, and taught creative writing to 5th-8th graders at a summer camp. I have also tutored Japanese-speaking businessmen in English as well as American culture, and tutored a family from Hong-Kong in English communication, writing, and college preparation. I am also a former professional clown and have over 13 years experience working closely with children. Indeed, I also have my own thriving 9 and 12 year old children who lovingly call me "English Teacher" when they want help with their Language Arts and Social Studies homework. My "teaching style" changes depending on the needs of my students. In all cases, an initial assessment of both th

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 feel an awe-inspiring sense of wonder when I see that children fully understand what they have learned. Nowadays, there is an abundant amount of underprivileged children, who need the extra care, since being in a classroom or at home may not give the child enough attention and aid. Therefore, I want to be able to help as much as I can by not only being a role model, but reassuring that they "can do it" and go far in life. A child has the capability to absorb like a sponge and make room for growth; not only academically but socially, spiritually, and psychologically. Nevertheless, a well-rounded tutor is authoritative and professional, with a sense of humor. I believe students will successfully learn and be motivated in a safe and friendly environment; thus, achieving higher test scores. My name is Vi Tran and a college graduate.
