A Little Bit About Me...

As a teacher, I try to empower my students to take responsibility for their actions and for their learning results. I try to lead them and to show them how and where to find the answers, but feel they learn best when they take the final step in the learning process and discover the answers with my guidance. The results are that they acquire not only knowledge, but the ability to process information and to solve problems. I am trained in teaching individuals with differences in learning styles, as well as in teaching English learners. I speak fluent French, am proficient in Spanish and Italian, and am passionate about French/France and English literature. I share this passion with my students.
I have experience teaching French and English at the high school level at a private/Catholic high school in Ventura County. I have held this full-time teaching position for 2 years. ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

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

My goal as a tutor is to awaken in students a genuine love of learning and to provide them with meaningful opportunities to acquire the skills they need to succeed in their chosen paths. Passion for growth, commitment to excellence, enthusiasm for exploring new ideas, and a growing sense of self-mastery: these are the qualities that I seek to cultivate in my students, whatever their age. My approach to tutoring incorporates a sensitivity to the unique goals, interests, and learning preferences that all students bring to the process, so they feel connected to what they are learning and recognize that their studies have enduring value.
As an Ivy League graduate, the son of a professor, and the husband of a professor, I have a deep love of learning and teaching. With a BA in Psychology and an MA in Interdisciplinary Studies, I have been professionally involved in teaching, training, t ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have a bachelor's degree in Liberal Studies with a science concentration and upon finishing my student teaching immediately took a full time job completing the remainder of the school year (March-June 2005) teaching middle school math. In September of 2005 I began teaching middle school science and math as well as elementary school science labs at Santa Barbara Christian School. I taught at SBCS for three years and then worked as a clinician for the Lindamood-Bell Learning Program for the summer of 2008. Since then I have been a private tutor working mostly with students who struggle with reading, spelling and comprehension, but I am open to working with students in math and science as well.
I loved teaching in the classroom setting and will probably go back to that someday, but I have found a real passion and excitement these last two years working one-on-one with students. I en ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

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 quality in my students. Other methods that I use come from my time as a foreign language teacher. Here, repetition and practice of introduced concepts are key. It's not enough to simply pass on ideas and words, the student must engage with the material for it to become real. Even though I might teach to high standards I am a very easy going person!
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 ... read more

More About This Tutor...

My teaching style is to show students how to make themselves successful. By motivating my students to do their best every time I can help them exceed expectations and thrive under any situation both academically and socially. Many students focus on what they think they cannot do. What I teach them is to highlight their strengths and improve their weaknesses. I do so with the use of clear directions, constant monitoring, and positive praise. I believe every child can learn it is merely a matter of finding the proper teaching method.
As a University of South Florida college of education graduate I have a wealth of experience with teaching both in the classroom and on a one to one basis. I have successfully tutored students in english, reading comprehension, science and social sciences. During my internship I taught all manner of history classes including AP world history and Psycholo ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I love teaching children, young adults and adults alike. I believe everyone can learn when he or she is ready to learn, focused, motivated, and properly guided through the necessary building blocks. I am patient, considerate, professional, and respectful. My goal is to provide the best learning experience possible. My method is to tell, show, try, do, review, test and evaluate. Learning is discovering and changing behavior. I believe all students can meet their potential if they are given the appropriate surroundings and positive learning experiences.

My goal as a teacher is to ensure that my students hone in on their individual skills and talents. In doing this, I create an atmosphere that is most conducive to learning. This is done through proper assessment and by challenging students at different levels with supplemental assignments and texts. Likewise, I typically design my classroom so that anyone walking into my room would have an enjoyable learning experience simply by viewing the walls. Sometimes, I have been called unconventional, but I think that within a changing society, it is very important to be able to teach "outside the box."
As I graduated number seven in my class, I was always a go-getter and an overachiever, especially within my field of study. Over the past 15 years, I have managed to earn a BA in Speech, an MA in Communications and over 10 years collective teaching experience at the high school, undergradua ... read more
