Florida Writes Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Stockton, CA

I have a passion to empower students with the proper tools and techniques to learn more and be confident in the classroom. By being accessible, a great communicator, and creative, I am determined to provide each child with the assistance they need to reach academic success. I am able to adapt to how each child learns because I am open minded and patient with children. I enjoy teaching children “hands on” methods of learning the curriculum so that they can gain knowledge of the course material in an interesting and interactive way. It is very important to me that children discover new techniques to learning in a manner that fits their personality because not every child learns using the same techniques. Furthermore, I believe that a positive environment is always part of the educating process and I will strive to connect with each child in order to help children triumph. Prior to rece

I believe in individualized teaching. In my sixth grade classroom, I individualized instruction wherever possible. In reading I tested my students and placed them in books at their reading level. I had them write reading summaries and corrected their first drafts. In sixth weeks, I retested and in most instances moved students to a higher level. In my math classes, I tested students and had them begin at the level that they needed to master. If a student could not add, I had him work on his addition skills. I moved students to the next skill level once they had mastered the level that they were working on. Of course, I did group teaching in my classroom, but I individualized wherever possible. I taught for twenty five years at the middle school level mostly in a self contained sixth grade classroom. In addition to teaching reading, English, math, science,and social studies, I taught

I truly enjoy when I get the chance to work one-on-one with a student. I am the kind of teacher you will see sitting on the floor with a student, acting things out in front of the class, making up songs to go with the curriculum, and full of energy. I understand the difficulty that many children have when learning in a noisy, busy, and crowded classroom. Tutoring can give me that chance to reach a child who otherwise might get lost in his/her classroom. I believe that all children can learn, but that they each learn at a different pace, and in a different way. By one-on-one, and in a quiet environment, some students may rise to the occassion and be happy and more successful in school. I received my BA from Azusa Pacific University in 1994. In 1995, I worked full-time as a teacher while going to school at night and received my Multiple Subject Credential. I have been teaching in the publi

I have enjoyed teaching and tutoring a wide range of students in a vast array of different settings. Most recently, I have tutored reading to 4th graders at an elementary school, taught ESL and GED subjects to adults through an adult education center, and taught creative writing to 5th-8th graders at a summer camp. I have also tutored Japanese-speaking businessmen in English as well as American culture, and tutored a family from Hong-Kong in English communication, writing, and college preparation. I am also a former professional clown and have over 13 years experience working closely with children. Indeed, I also have my own thriving 9 and 12 year old children who lovingly call me "English Teacher" when they want help with their Language Arts and Social Studies homework. My "teaching style" changes depending on the needs of my students. In all cases, an initial assessment of both th

I taught as a substitute teacher in New Jersey for 3 years before moving to California. I have a multiple subjects credential from New Jersey. I taught at all grade levels and all subjects including high school students. I have been a substitute teacher in California for the past 8 years. I have multiple subjects credential in California. I taught all grade levels and all subjects. I am patient with students and encourage them to learn at their own pace. Students learn at a different rates and have different comprehension abilities. Some are able to absorb a material faster than others. But they will all learn the subject matter if given the chance and encouragement and by introducing the subject/explaining it in different ways with patience and concern.

My tutoring style is described as follows: 1) I encourage learning by doing 2) I encourage learning by thinking: By interpreting ideas, sythesizing and analysing them and by critical revision of those ideas 3) I encourage students to reflect on their learning 4) I give precise instructions to my students: On what students should do, ways and methods for learning, resources they should use for learning. 5) I pack necessary knowledge and transfer it to students in most efficient ways: I prefer to use visual aids, demonstrate practical examples, write resources (summaries,extracts) for my students. To sum up, I would do whatever it takes a tutor to help students learn. Tutoring experience: I started tutoring when I was pursuing Bachelors in Science majoring in Math. I taught a variety of students of age group from 5 to 17. I taught Arithematic, Numbers theory, Pre- Algebra,
