Professional with master's in Speech and Language Pathology

I have worked for many years with children who have various problems in speech and language - working with voice, articulation, receptive/expressive/written language and reading. Last Spring, I worked in three Maryland schools. Though I do not have a California speech pathology license currently, I would like to tutor children with special educational challenges, especially in language arts, reading and writing.

I am currently a professional journalist, but spent almost 10 years in three different California school districts. I write for two different newspapers in San Diego, as well as a local television station. I am well-versed in grammar, punctuation, spelling and all other aspects of creative writing. But most importantly, I have many years of teaching experience, as well as children of my own, and understand the fundamentals of teaching students and making sure there is proper retention of the lesson.
My teaching style is determined by the needs of the student, but I have a multitude of effective methods to improve and develop writing skills for a variety of learners.

young and experienced

I am a recent high school graduate with lots of experience in tutoring high school and elementary students with homework, tests, and projects. I'm also very much capable of helping with cheer-leading as i am very experienced and have been in several competitions. I definitely wouldn't consider myself a strict teacher but do what is necessary to make sure the subject is learned to its fullest.
I believe that in order to fully understand a subject you must able to teach the subject.

A Little Bit About Me...

I'm a firm believer in positive reinforcement. I have dealt with my fair share of teachers who use shame as a motivator, but that only stalls students. Teaching students WHY helps them understand HOW, and it works every time. I'm confident in this method's results.
This is my first time tutoring professionally. However, it is not the first time I help others to learn. Even though I am only a college student (an English major, soon to be studying creative writing as a minor field), I have often volunteered at an elementary school in San Diego, where I worked with younger children. My tasks included administering tests, helping them with their work, and teaching proper study habits. Hopefully, I can take this little bit of experience and help any other students that need it. As an aspiring English professor, I know this will be a wonderful start to a career in teaching and of course, ... read more

Experienced Tutor

I began tutoring my freshman year of high school. For my fours year of high school I worked at Kumon Learning Center in Los Angeles. Here, I learned a lot of my tutoring experience. I worked with children from the ages of 5 to 17. I helped these children in math from kindergarten math all the way up to calculus, and then in reading and reading comprehension skills from the younger kindergarteners to younger high schoolers. I enjoy working with children and try to teach children in a fun way so they do not become bored and can learn to really understand and grasp concepts. I also enjoy working with teenagers and am confident that I can help all high schoolers with different subjects they struggle with. The reason why I left Kumon Learning Center is because I moved down to San Diego to begin my freshman year of college, so I am now looking forward to continue my tutoring career down here.

I make learning interesting.

I believe in hands on learning. I found out the best way you learn and help you discover your strengths for learning.
As a lifetime learner, I like to share my love of learning with others. My specialty is helping those who have difficulty learning something. I love math but like to teach it so it can be applied to life situations. I believe technology can help us learn but can also overwhelm us. As a special education classroom teacher for two years, test scores for special education students also went up for two years.

It is my sincere belief that one person can make a difference. It is with this in mind that I signed-up to be a substitute teacher and also to volunteer my services with Lake County to tutor basic literacy and ESL to those in need of these services. I worked as a substitute teacher from November 2004 until February of 2006. I also have experience at Literacy Volunteers of America tutoring ESL students. Learning is a lifelong process and I hope to foster and or encourage this within my students. I recently completed my graduate degree and currently have flexibility with my schedule. Thank you for entrusting your child in my care for the hours that we will interact.

Fun, high-quality, experienced tutoring

I like to make learning fun while working hard.
Before becoming a Speech Language Pathologist 7 years ago, , I worked with children with learning disabilities with another speech path, as a tutor, special education aide, liaison for children with learning disabilities in a private school helping to modify curriculum and at Lindamood-Bell. I have 20 years of experience with students with educational needs. Although I have focused on speech for the last few years, I love math and miss helping students learn to love it too.
