Develop a trust with the student and possess patience and kindness all along the way.
In 2001, I was a teachers aide at American Canyon Middle School, in American Canyon, CA, Napa County. I assisted the teachers in the classrooms with grading papers, entered the students tests and quiz scores in the computer and helped them after school with their reading and writing lessons. I was awarded for my Service to the Napa County Education Community Certificate for excellence and contribution to education by Congressman Mike Thompson of the 5th District of California. hompson

Top Solano Tutor Specializing in Math, Science, and SAT's.

I have been successfully tutoring for over 10 years. I have helped students transform their grades from F's to A's. It has been a very rewarding experience, since my students get to understand the subject a lot better as well as improve their grades. I love working with students of all ages and teaching the many subjects I know. My specialties are math, science, and standardized testing. I am very patient and friendly. I am also able to explain an idea in many different ways. Many students tell me that I can explain concepts better than their teachers. Please check out my many positive reviews at https://www.wyzant.com/Tutors/Richard. I graduated with honors at UCLA with a BS in Chemical Engineering. I can definitely tailor the tutoring session to your specific needs. Please check out the extensive list of the subjects that I am certified to tutor. My ultimate goal is to provide a ... read more

My comments on tutoring Writing Skills : I am in a reading and writing program at Sonoma State called the Hutchins program. I have always been good at writing, and I absolutely love to write. I have a natural instinct to write and to help younger students find their voice through writing.

I would say my teaching style is really focused on the student and what they need. In school I was an average student never getting lower than a C or higher than in an A. So I really want to focus on listening to the student, especially because they probably are not heard at school. I want to make each subject interesting to the student, whether that means going out and playing basketball or chess or candy or anything the student absolutely loves. I want to attach each subject to a good memory, I don't want to pressure them or push them to just memorize facts that I know they will probably forget after they are tested. From my own personal experience I want any student I tutor to turn around and actually enjoy learning about a subject they are having trouble with.

My approach to teaching is to provide what is needed, and sometimes that is not limited to the explicit task at hand. As an English teacher/tutor, I have often found that, rather than merely showing students how to recognize a complete sentence and use correct punctuation and grammar, the more important thing is to prove to them that they can think, and that they are intelligent. To this end, I use gentle Socratic questioning to stimulate students, loosen them up, get them interested, and increase their comfort. Often, what comes out of a student's mouth is surprisingly wonderful, and I quickly say, "That's great! Write that down!"
I was a community college English teacher for 12 years at Vista Community College in Berkeley, CA (now Berkeley City College). I taught in a special program tailored to working adults who had returned to school in order to earn their Associate of Arts de ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have a diverse field of experience. I received a dual B.A. in Linguistics and Anthropology in 2006. This allows me to understand language tutoring at a deeper level than most tutors. This foundation has been augmented by 5 years of teaching experience in ESOL, History, Academic Writing, and Professional interview training which I have conducted all over the world. In 2009, I received my MA in applied linguistics. This degree worked as a capstone to perfect my teaching style in regards to ESL.
I try to foster independent learners. If the pupil is perpetually dependent on the teacher, then nothing is gained- money and efforts are wasted. My techniques push students to acquire the skills and tools they need on their own. Everyone can aspire to this level of sucess if they try. I look forward to making a difference in your life, with your help.
