More About This Tutor...

I use a teaching paradigm that stresses the importance of student's needs and learning styles. Every student brings unique skills and perspectives to the classroom and tutor session, and because of this I have found that my teaching strategy changes per student and per teaching situation. For some students, being taught using the socratic method works well, while others like to take notes, absorb the material, then ask questions later during office hours. I have found that understanding student's learning methods have helped me to become a better teacher.
As a student at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo I was interested in English education, especially in terms of helping students improving their reading and writing skills. I followed this interest by tutoring at the university writing lab, as well as doing frequent one-on-one tutor sessions with students in need. At the end of each quarte ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

During my undergraduate years, I often found myself tutoring fellow students. Eventually I got a job working for the math and science tutoring center on campus. I tutored students in my own classes and others, and I also helped teach a vertebrate anatomy lab. I am currently a Master's student in biology, and while biology is my field, I am also an accomplished writer. I feel comfortable helping students in a variety of fields, especially basic mathematics, science, and writing.
I am a creative, patient teacher. I know that everyone learns differently, so I try to come up with many different ways to explain a concept. I love to see the sudden understanding in a student's eyes when they finally understand a difficult concept. This is what makes teaching an addictive and highly fulfilling activity for me.

Education has always been an essential function in my life, it eventually became my passion. I achieved a bachelor's degree in Theatre Arts and a Master's degree in Mass Communications/screenwriting which I believe portrays my adoration for learning new things and excelling at things I am already interested in. I have two younger siblings in which I have tutored my whole life in multiple subjects and it has been rewarding in ways I cannot describe. In my last year of Graduate school, I was a teacher's assistant for the head professor of screenwriting for the bachelor's program. Most of my expertise is in the Arts but I can also accomodate Elementary, Junior High and High School subjects (English, Literature, and Language Arts, mostly).
My teaching style consists of consistency, understanding, consideration, connection and positive acknowledgement. All children need consistency ... read more
