A Little Bit About Me...

I've been tutoring since high schools in a wide range of subjects, such as latin, algebra II, and biology. The skills you use to teach yourself the material can be directly applied to someone else, especially when you find something does not click at first. I have a number of mnemonics for helping my tutees retain the material they've spent time learning. In college I don't tutor professionally because of time constraints, but I help other students understand problems they may be having difficulty with. I've also had my own SAT tutor and seen different programs and their styles, and I've chosen the one that I find the most effective.

My style of tutoring is creative flexibility. I assess the student's learning style and try to adapt to that, using different senses (kinetic, aural, oral) to trigger best responses. However, this is layered over a basic multi-part structure suited to the subject. I also like to set up a schedule of what our hour will be like, with some beginning exercises (usually recall from previous session). The rest of the hour would be structured with student input as much as possible. At the end, I like to introduce some free time to talk about the lesson and about any new ideas.
I have a masters degree in Enviornmental Biology and a BA in pre-med sciences. I also have an AA degree in Dietetics. My other hat is a long career in writing, editing, and publishing. So, I am a grammarian and have taught English composition. I have been a substitute teacher for more than eight years in elem ... read more

Never tell a child when you can ask him.

I have 6 years of substitute teaching experience in the Washoe County School District in Nevada, as well as at a charter school. Substitute teaching has allowed me to work with children from preschool to grade 12, in all subjects. I have worked twice as a preschool teacher, once at the E.L. Cord Child Care Center at TMCC in Reno, and again at His Kids Preschool, using A Beka Book curriculum to teach 2-4 year olds.

More About This Tutor...

I love working with children and I have a passion for teaching students. I believe that every child has the capacity to learn if they are given the correct tools and the proper environment. I believe children learn best using a hands-on approach that includes the student actively participating in the learning process, rather than being on the sidelines and simply told what to do or what to know. Learning through experience will create students who are life-long learners.
I recently graduated from the University of Nevada Reno with a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education. Throughout my college career, I had many opportunities to teach elementary students, both in the classroom and in one-on-one situations. From 2003 to 2006 I worked in Texas as an after school tutor helping children with test preparation. At the University of Nevada Reno I taught lessons on science a ... read more

I love helping others learn and grow and achieve! I especially enjoy seeing the glow on a child's face as they realize they "get it" - they have conquered and overcome some hurdle or difficulty. The same is basically true with adults. I really enjoy helping them get the report or information they need from an application. It is so liberating for them to know they can find what they need (or want) on their own.
I have been preparing and conducting adult coursework for a variety of computer - based applications and software for 15 or more years. The courses were done in large lecture environments (30 or more at a time) and also small or individuals sessions, and remote (phone and web-ex) deliveries. I am experienced in assessing group attitude and individual needs and am told that I am very adept at putting my "students" at ease, both through delivery style and in customizing ... read more

Most of my life has been focused on obtaining my education and improving my educational goals. I have a deep desire to assist others in reaching their full potential. I know that everyone learns in different ways, so my teaching style varies on the needs of each student. Overall, I am a calm and relaxed person that works towards keeping students on task and tries to make learning a fun process.
I began tutoring my freshman year of college. I participated in a Sparks High School program designed to assist and motivate at risk students to achieve their educational goals. Tutoring continued through my own educational career, as I have spent countless hours assisting fellow peers and younger students with their school work. Now as a young professional, I would like to continue to assist today’s youth. My Law degree, along with my Bachelor of Science and Associate of Arts degrees ... read more

My experience is not as a liscensed teacher. I have been more of an assistant or tutor. I have worked with k-6th grade students-some of which are/were physically and /or mentally challenged.
My teaching style is very creative. Yes, I believe in teaching the basics, but make learning fun. I like to do fun games or art projects or use music to inspire and teach the children. That way they will have fun and learn at the same time.

The key to success in any field is overcoming fear. I used to have a fear of some classes, until I decided I was going to face my fears and tackle the subjects. I can break down long problems and concepts into smaller components that are easier to understand. Math or science can be broken down into baby steps or bite size pieces. I work to make the subject as simple and logical to the student so they can master the subject. My goal is not to simply hand out fish, but to teach them how to catch their own fish.
I have plenty of classroom experience. I have worked as a substitute teacher for every grade level possible from pre-kindergarten all the way to adult school. I can work with all ages and grade levels depending on your needs. I can tutor the most basic of skills to more advanced formulas that require in depth analysis.

A Little Bit About Me...

A strength on which I have always prided myself is my ability to relate complex concepts with useful analogies and from different angles. I never underestimate a child's ability to learn something, so long as it's in a way in which they understand it. Curriculum development is also important. By that, I mean the creation of illustrations, tables, lists, acronyms, heuristics, and flash cards to aid a student in their thirst to learn. I am patient and fun, and working with children is something that has always animated and invigorated me. By getting a child to enjoy what he or she is learning, a tutor can open the floodgates to his or her potential and happiness.

I have always been driven as a student. I earned my bachelor's degree in only 3 and a half years, and I will begin a terminal degree program this fall when I begin an MFA program at Eastern Washington University. Although I have never been a formal tutor, I feel that I can pick it up rather quickly, as I have been in a teaching role during my time as a personal trainer. I have also had creative work published in the last four editions of The Brushfire, and I have served as the editor of the newsletter of the last company for which I worked.
I am very passionate about English, partly because I struggled with it myself. I never received an A in a high school English class until my senior year; yet, I received a BA in the subject only four short years after I received a D- in my AP English class during the second semester of my junior year in high school.

Not only working with children, but teaching them has always been a passion of mine. I have worked at the YMCA of the Sierra for almost 4 years, and tutoring children through UNR has been such a pleasure and privilege. I have gained the insight and honest understanding that any child, with specialized help, can move far beyond their educational and emotional expectations and abilities, proving to especially themselves their own potential. I used the method of Behavior Analysis during my tutoring of Autistic children, which has truly taught me a lot in respect to creative methods and organized procedures for teaching and/or tutoring children.
