22 years of experience helping children succeed!

I am very patient and enjoy getting to know my students. My strength is using hands-on learning activities. I have extensive training in multiple intelligences and many years of experience in teaching to various learning styles.
I recently retired after teaching First Grade for 22 years. I still very much enjoy teaching and am looking forward to being able to work 1-on-1 with students who are at-risk or have special needs to be successful. I have a lot of specialized training in beginning reading instruction. I have a Masters in Education with an emphasis in Reading. I have a strong ability to assess where an individual student currently is and then build their skills from there.

Let's do this... TOGETHER!

I am a very interactive teacher. I want feedback so I can see the progress the student is making. If they are not getting something, I make adjustments and change tactics. I teach tot he student(s). Everyone learns differently. And sometimes by the time I get to them student, it has nothing to do with their ability but more their confidence because of previously bad experiences. Then its more just showing the student he or she can accomplish this. And I aim do have fun while we do it!
I have tutored for a non-profit organization, Life Christian Church, as an after school program on Wednesdays free to the community. I have also taught English and History to home school students. One of the biggest accomplishments was watching of the students who detested writing papers because he did not believe he could do it, grow into a man who is not writing weekly papers confidently.

Currently a college student. Double majoring in Political Science/ Spanish Literature. I enjoy working with children of all ages. While I was in high school I had my own tutoring program for English Learners. I was the AVID Senior Stand Out of my class. I know how hard it is to find a good tutor that can match your style of learning and I have discovered that tutoring/ mentoring is more than only learning material, its about understanding the subject.

Retired Elementary Teacher With 35 Years of Experience!

My name is Jean and I am a retired elementary school teacher with 35 years of experience teaching all subjects in grades K-5. I was voted Teacher of the Year by my peers in 2013. I was a Writing for Success Mentor in my district and led in-services. I tutor because I love to help students reach their academic goals and gain more confidence in doing so. I feel it is essential to establish a mutual bond of respect and trust between teacher and student. I always check for understanding and create a safe environment where students feel comfortable asking questions. I love to laugh and incorporate humor into lessons. Laughter is good for the student and the teacher! I have taught whole group, small group, and individual reading. I helped students learn how to decode through developing phonemic awareness and to use contextual clues in determining word meanings. I taught children how to become ... read more

Classified Teacher's Aide

I am not a certified teacher but I have worked as a Special Education Classroom Aide in various schools throughout the Cajon Valley Union School District for the past six years. I enjoy young people and helping them on their road to success. I have worked with all levels of special needs students and look forward to assisting in their learning experience.

Get ready for learning to be easier and fun!

My passion and career of working with school aged children started over 18 years ago. While I was in college completing my credential I worked after-school programs, and I started teaching K-5th grade as soon as I received my Multiple subject credential. I have experience with multiple curriculum and learning styles.
What I enjoy most about teaching is getting to know my students and what motivates them to learn.

A Little Bit About Me...

I prefer to provide students with hands on and/or visual tools during learning when possible. I like to make the educational topic meaningful and interesting to the student.
I have been a credentialed teacher for 4 years. I work primarily with students with moderate/severe disabilities. Previously, I was a teacher's aid, tutor and daycare worker. I am credentialed in both general education and special education. I have experience working with a wide variety of learners in all subject areas. I have worked with students who are simply trying to get ahead in school, students who are falling behind and need homework help, students who are about to be retained, to students who are significantly delayed and are on their own curriculum program. My special education background allows me to support all levels of students and support different learning styles.

More About This Tutor...

I have taught all core subjects plus art history for over 20 years using various state mandated materials and supplementals I purchased through special ed catalogs. Student outcomes were best with the supplementals due to limited attention span and high interest-low level materials. I use various methods to determine mastery- I create my own written or verbal assessments, writing assignments and have students maintain learning journals. I have a background in educational psychology which is useful in dealing with students with behavioral issues.
I work through positive behavior supports, humor and style to motivate the student to understand the need to learn the core subject matter in order to proceed through high school. I am excellent at reading the needs of the student and creating lessons that are relevant, interesting and fun.

Went to the Army two years and reserve three years. Came back and picked up the quickest degree possiable. Moved to Hawwaii, three years. Became a ciritified dept of defense government contractor. Furnish and deliver contracts. Ended up moving back home to Albuquerque NM. I started working in the Indian Casinos for 13 years. I bought a house and retired. But now I'm tired of sitting around.
