Elementary Tutor and Student Development

Patience is one word to describe my teaching style. My main objective is to work with students on goal-setting and then concentrate on how to meet those goals.
My teaching experience includes several semesters of substitute teaching, and tutoring locally for 2+ years as a part-time job, dirived from volunteering as a tutor for family members and friends. As a tutor, it is my job to help students with whatever it is they are struggling in and turn their struggles to successes. I specialize in working with those who want to become better readers - comprehension, fluence, vocabulary, phonics and spelling are all key to becoming a better reader.

Dyslexia Tutor

Taught elementary education for 6 years. Also received 40 hours of training in the Orton-Gillingham method of dyslexia tutoring. Emphasized reading and writing with beginning students in primary grades, and spent a substantial amount of time working with students with learning disabilities. I have dyslexia myself, and found a tutor in 4th grade who, over two years, taught me how to cope with my learning disability.

Teaching and learning are inextricably linked. Hence, I espouse to an approach that focuses more on tapping into the students learning schema than on teaching/tutoring per se. That being said, I am very interested in establishing the motivation/purpose for learning and then developing a plan, with the student, and where appropriate the parent, that will help the student achieve his/her desired goal and/or purpose.
Working with central city and at-risk youth is my life work. For the past ten years I have worked in a myriad of social service and educational settings employing a plethora of strategies aimed at helping central city and at-risk students achieve academic, career and social success. What's more, as a former struggling central city and at-risk student, I understand that students can only learn when they can make meaning out of their learning experience. For that reason ... read more

As a graduate from the University of the Pacific, I was able to attain the honor of Magnum Cum Laude while pursuing my BA in Psychology. The extensive research required in my field has allowed me to achieve a high level of writing skills, analytical skills, and math skills. For the past four years I have more specifically enjoyed being able to tutor students with mathematical difficulties, although I have also tutored in grammar, writing, and Spanish.
Over the years I have been able to work with all ages ranging from preschoolers to adult students. What has struck me most is the vast array of learning styles. I take pride in my ability to successfully and effectively adapt to each and every student I mentor. My strong belief in all students to do well has been the greatest influence in my overall teaching style. I do not give the answer to a problem or show the student how to do it ... read more

I have a completely hands on approach to teaching. I work with the student to see what it is they understand and what they do not. From there we work through the different areas until the student fully understands what they are missing. This allows for the student to feel as though they have a sense of accomplishment.
I have tutored for many years. I first started tutoring in High School, then while I was in College and lately for the neighborhood children. I have brought younger children up to speed in reading (k-5). I have worked with children in Middle School and High School with their math work. I have tutored pre-algebra and algebra.

My teaching style is progressive. I believe education should be entertaining, however not entertainment. I enjoy challenging my students, however to do this effectively it is important that they remain engaged. One of the ways in which I do this is to encourage students to think creatively. Creativity is the key to success with education. Not only does it foster confidence and positive self-esteem, creativity keeps the brain on its toes, so to speak, by continually challenging students’ abilities and forcing students to expand beyond their academic comfort zone. Teaching students to develop new ways to solve problems generates the confidence needed to succeed not only in school but also in life.
My interest in becoming a tutor stems from my life long passion for teaching and learning. Throughout the past eight years, I have focused my efforts on soaking up my education and research ... read more

I recently graduated from the University of Colorado with a bachelor's degree in architecture which allowed me to be very understanding of math and science while also gaining a strong inclination to creativity. I taught swimming lessons and tennis lessons to children for five years and I previously worked at a summer day camp for kids ages 3-13. I am CPR and Red Cross certified, and I have a great passion for working with children.

My first belief is that you have to make a student believe in themselve. You do this by letting them know that the system has failed them, but together we can bridge the gap of what you need now to get your grades caught up and work backwards to learn what you have missed. I driven to find innovative ways to make them learn, like using coins and other objects like liquid containers. Making jokes about historical events that are so dumb they have to remember. I believe we can change the world a couple people at a time.
