I am a graduate with a major in History and a minor in Economics. I graduated with honors and understand the importance of an education. I have received certificates in communication and have used these skills in teaching youth for the past 6 years. I have also tutored in math while attending Junior College and received high grades in all math classes that I have taken. As a History major, I have written many research papers that has taught me grammatical skills. Like anything in education, repetition allows for a more solid understanding and a better grasp to any curriculum. While attending college, I devoted a lot of my time perfecting both my study habits and study skills. I enjoy teaching children and youth not only specific subjects, but also how to build on their own studying habits and skills. I understand that many children learn in different ways, whether it be hands on or thro

I believe in using the differentiated approach to teaching--based upon the seven intelligences. I plan for all lessons being taught, and state the objectives on the board for each lesson. I present the lesson, allowing the students to interact and respond by activating prior knowledge, discussing points and inviting them to ask questions. I like to interject related activities at 20-30 minute intervals to keep their interest up. I also like to provide centering and closing activities. I taught in private schools in California for 15 years ( 1980-1994). I started as a teacher, then became a Media Specialist, then a Vice Principal and finally a principal. I moved to Indiana in 1994, where I taught in public school for 3 years. We moved back to California in 2000. Since that time I have served as a Library Media Specialist and Reading Teacher. Presently I teach reading fundamentals to smal

My desire is not to simply communicate information to students, but to accommodate material in such a way so that each individual student can learn a way that is easy and hopefully enjoyable. Not every student enjoys learning every subject, but I believe that an accommodating and understanding teacher, willing to work hard in order to make learning simple and useful, can give the student the necessary motivation and confidence to learn any subject well. Therefore, while I accommodate my teaching style to each student's needs and abilities, I always strive to teach in such a way where learning becomes a personal interest for the student as they expand their capabilities through engaging and struggling in the hard work that is education. Throughout my educational experience I have been committed to academic excellence. I recently graduated summa cum laude with a BA in English. My studies g

My greatest strengths include inspiring and motivating students. I actively engage their eager minds by incorporating a variety of manipulatives, enjoyable activities, and cooperative learning projects. In addition, I tailor my lesson plans to meet the diverse interests, as well as demonstrate direct connections between the lesson and everyday life. Furthermore, I hold parent and teacher conferences on a regular basis to promote participation in the educational process, reinforce education in the home, and boost students’ self-confidence and self-esteem. I have a Bachelors in Elementary Education, and a state of California Multi-Subject and Core Class Credential,NCLB qualification and Highly Qualified Endorsement by my current district along with 38 Masters of Education credits as well as Illinois certification K-9.

I don't think there is a better feeling then to see a student be proud they were able master something they thought impossible. If I had to say what method I used to teach students, I would have to say that every student is different, and that what works for one may not work for the other. I would say my approach would be to first understand what may be causing them to struggle, then working from there to teach them to be confident in their ability, and providing the appropriate tools needed to succeed. I started in school system in 1999..I became a mentor working with at risk students I wanted to help students who lacked confidence, had low academic test scores, and lower level learners.I worked in Special Ed. for 5 yrs as teachers aide grades 6th, 7th, and 8th.I worked in the after school program teaching 4th and 5th grade combo.

My dominant teaching style is connecting with students on a personal level. During my time as a mentor at Marina Del Rey, I enjoyed developing a relationship with my mentee inside and outside of the classroom, and I truly believe this helped him excel. I like to take a firm, but fun approach to tutoring, and I always challenge my students to try their hardest to complete a problem and not automatically defer to receiving help from the tutor. Patience and student empowerment are vital aspects of successful tutoring. Through my education at UCLA, I developed a solid foundation in math and science, while completing my BS in Bioengineering. Additionally, I have well developed communication and grammar skills for an engineer due to several extracurricular activities, which required me to write time-sensitive documentation and reports. My tutoring experience comes from 2 years of voluntee

After graduating from Vanguard University of Southern California with my BA in English, I decided to enroll in the Education Program to receive my Single Subject English Teaching Credential. Teaching has always been a passion of mine. I started tutoring students in subjects such as Math, English, Science, History, and Spanish, when I was merely a Junior in High School. I began tutoring K-8 at a local private elementary school. I then became employed at my high school as a tutor. At my high school, I was given the opportunity to work with grades 9-12. I worked in an after school program for three years where I was able to plan lessons and help students with their homework. I have recently student taught at Costa Mesa High School as a 9th Grade Honors English teacher and a 12th Grade Regular English teacher. I started teaching Sunday School when I was in Junior High.

Beyond the subject matter and what I will be teaching, I have to spend some time getting to know the child. If I do not take the time to make them feel important and show that they have value, then the teaching part is meaningless. A relationship has to be established not only between a teacher and a student but, between two human beings. I like creating a safe environment where students feel comfortable enough to ask the most basic questions and ask for help on challenging problems. My job is to encourage, support and cheer on their efforts in the learning process. I enjoy being creative with my teaching style and will often have students "think outside the box" when learning a new task. I am passionate about helping people. Teaching has enabled me to fuel that passion into an English classroom setting. I enjoy being around students and helping them solve their academic problems.

I have years of experience working with children. I love to focus one-on-one or in small groups and believe in working in a friendly, non-intimidating style with the children. I am patient and understanding while trying to look at the obstacle from the child's point of view. I believe making a difference in the lives of youth is one of the greatest rewards someone can offer. I have six years experience in managerial roles in school libraries, setting up reading programs and assisting students with writing projects as well. I also worked with the Friday Night Live anti-drug program in schools, working with youth of all ages. As someone who has loved reading and books since a young age, I knew exactly what I wanted to do with my life: A career as a writer and a reading teacher.

As an individual who has earned a Bachelor’s degree in Business Marketing , I recently enrolled to earn my Credential and Masters in Special Education. Because of my educational background, I greatly recognize the value of receiving an education. I possess an understanding in a variety of subject content areas. Over the past year and a half, I have had the opportunity of tutoring students in English, reading, science and various business related classes with ages ranging from 8 – 22. I feel that having a positive influence on today’s youth is an extremely vital profession, and one that shapes the future of each individual I will encounter.

Over the course of my career, I have taught a wide variety of courses for age groups K-12 which include: English, math, history, geography and English as a second language. I am quite comfortable with classes of different sizes, at different levels, and with various teaching styles. I incorporate the tactile, visual and auditory teaching methods. I have also taught adults to read in the adult literacy programs at many libraries. Some believe classes should be teacher-centered, where the teacher is expert and authority in presenting information. Others take a learner-centered approach, viewing their role as more of a facilitor of student learning. I do both. I have taught at Porterville, Tulare and Palmdale libraries.
