More About This Tutor...

As a graduate of Sociology I have gained a lot of knowledge about how society functions. I was interested in this area of study to understand peoples because I have always had compassion for others. I have participated in a 4 unit class where i taught Spanish to 8-11 year old children and it consisted of developing a plan that included songs and dancing to learn Spanish in a fun and animated way. I have done research on homelessness, and had an internship with a non profit that provides social services for those in need. Working closely with this organization has helped me assess peoples needs and use problem solving skills to help individuals in a variety of situations.
I enjoy teaching and working with children and feel that it is important to understand that not all students learn the same way. I feel that my college experience has taught me to discover the ways I learn and und ... read more

I have always enjoyed helping people learn, from dancing and sailing in my youth, to English and French more recently. For two years I was a tutor at a resource center at a city college, where I helped students on a one on one basis with reading and writing skills. I have tutored privately a number of clients in French, and I currently teach a French class at an after care program.
I love helping children learn in a way that's fun and supportive. I strongly engage my students in the process by asking questions and balancing the different learning styles (auditory, written, verbal, physical). I can bring structure and focus to students' learning path in a compassionate and safe environment, and help them gain confidence and be successful.

More About This Tutor...

Each student is unique and needs to be approached in a unique teaching fashion. I try hard to listen to students and to learn what their goals and needs are. I then tailor the teaching approach to meet those goals and needs, fully believing that if students sense they are being listened to they will also feel motivated to learn. I am patient, able to laugh and feel comfortable around students, and I strive to provide encouragement throughout the entire teaching process. Students have felt that I am very approachable and open to discussing everything at their level. At the same time I am eager to provide students with the highest caliber of tutoring, providing them with the knowledge that will help them succeed.
I have volunteered English as a Second Language tutoring services through the Santa Barbara Public Library for over two years. My students have come from Mexico, Latvia, and ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have enjoyed a unique educational background, having been required to study all academic disciplines as an undergraduate. The benefits of this unique approach to education later inspired me to earn a Master's degree in the development of consciousness, which is the basis for the learning process. My studies have also included intensive foreign language courses at UCSC, the Goethe Institute, and M.U.M.. My career in the field of teaching has ranged from homeschooling and private lessons to ESL and university courses. Most importantly, I love to teach and have enjoyed this vocation for many years.
It is always a thrill for me to work with a student and to help them achieve their goals. Each student is unique. The way in which they assimilate knowledge may also be unique. It is the skill of the teacher then to know what is the best approach to take with each student to help ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Interlochen Arts Academy unlocked the artist within me. Their educational styles and values continue to inspire me as an educator. Hope College and continuing education furthers me with a variety of tools to design curriculum. Versatility together with concentrations in both Painting and Clay, an appreciation for the liberal arts, diversified cultural environments, and vivid discourses have guided me to point out new directions for my students. I also have a wide background in tutoring Math, English, GED prep and Early Reading. I believe this experience, enthusiasm, brings me the ability to connect with students.
My objective as an educator is to be a compass that enlightens young minds, guiding them to discover hidden talents and deepen existing gifts. Mastery is best achieved through active learning, giving students a variety of individualized tools to measure, evaluate, and co ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Having graduated with honors from a top university, the greatest asset I offer comes from my real world teaching experience. During my tenure as a substitute I have taught at all levels, from kindergarten to middle-aged adults, in all subject areas. Even as a young person I was involved with teaching others; I first began as a teacher's aid in high school and later I served as a tutor in college. This led to teaching full-time at the kindergarten level. Last year I worked in a summer camp in Canada and I completed my TESOL training and I was successful in teaching English in Paris France in the fall. Returning to California I continue to teach part time for the Ventura Unified School District.
My training in rhetoric, speech, and debate has taught me the importance of speaking clearly and articulately. This means that I pay close attention to language and I try to bring out that qu ... read more

I like interacting with students and children, figuring out how to answer their needs and helping them succeed. I like inquiry based learning. That way, I am an expert "guide" for students than a "lecturer." To make a positive difference in your child's education is a wonderful possibility for me and assisting them in reaching their potential would be a delight. I am clear that my objective is to support your child's learning. To that end, I am patient, gentle and knowledgeable.
From elementary age, I've studied biological science and thoroughly enjoy it. Since 1987, I have taught part-time in addition to my full time jobs. Subjects taught include human anatomy, physiology, biology, genetics as well as environmental topics and biotechnology laboratory skills. My students tell me I explain complex topics so they understand, take time to answer their questions thoroughly and enjoy my ... read more
