More About This Tutor...

I have always had an interest in tutoring, starting in Elementary school where I would leave during recess in the fourth and fifth grade to spend time in my past Kindergarten teacher's classroom. There I would read to students, reinforce the teachings lead by the teacher, and serve as a role model. During my middle school summers I would return to that classroom to provide aid for the summer school kindergarteners before they were able to enter the first grade. Upon entry into high school, I joined Project Understanding, a tutoring volunteer organization to serve children from low-income families who were falling behind in a classroom setting and needed some extra time and a different perspective to learn the material expected of them. Once I graduated High School tutoring took a back seat to my studies, where I pursued and earned two degrees in four years with honors. Since ... read more

Learning expert, author and kidzmet.com Founder

Brain based research is now proving what learning theorists have believed for decades...that making learning fun and joyful is key to helping kids more effectively cement knowledge. Before I even start tutoring, I make sure I get to know your child's: * personality type, * preferred learning styles, * multiple intelligences, and * key likes/dislikes, so that I can make sure that our time together is interesting and engaging as well as effective. (I'll also teach you some of the key strategies you can use during homework time when I'm not with your child.) I am a recognized, published learning expert whose business and books have earned a Parent Tested Parent Approved award, The National Parenting Center's Seal of Approval, and the #1 teaching blog on the web's "Teacher Approved" award. I also have a regular weekly segment on the Total Education Network, which is heard in 180 ... read more

I Promise that you will have fun while you Learn!

Children say that I am so patient and relaxed. One little girl asked me last week, "how come I don't grate on your nerves? My mom says I grate on her nerves." Well, no child has ever "grated on my nerves" :) Children know I care about them and we develop a mutual respect for each other.

My degrees are in elementary education and special education. I have worked as a self-contained special education teacher, a resource teacher, and as a music specialist. I am also a published author and could help an upper grade student to improve his or her writing and composition skills.
I enjoy motivating children--especially those who have been struggling to succeed. I like to discover a child's strengths and help him or her to use them to succeed. My goal is to make a child feel better about himself and experience success!

I loved teaching in the classroom setting and will probably go back to that someday, but I have found a real passion and excitement these last two years working one-on-one with students. I enjoy getting to know students, discovering their strengths and weaknesses and using both to help them become lifetime learners. I feel strongly that students who struggle with reading, spelling and comprehension should receive special help at an early age and that the right methods can give them the skills they need to be successful in the future. I look forward to giving students the opportunity to succeed!
I have a bachelor's degree in Liberal Studies with a science concentration and upon finishing my student teaching immediately took a full time job completing the remainder of the school year (March-June 2005) teaching middle school math. In September of 2005 I began teaching middle school sc ... read more

I am a firm believer that each and every student has equal ability to succeed in their academic pursuits. It is up to the teacher to provide the tools and environment that enables the student to flourish. Not only does a good teacher educate the child, but they also motivate the student to further pursue academic achievements. I believe in giving students the tools needed to solve current and future problems, not just a quick solution.
I am a graduate of UC San Diego earning a BS in Structural Engineering. I have a strong grasp of the math and science fields, and how concepts from each discipline overlap and interconnect. In addition to my own academic pursuits I have tutored and worked in the classroom environment with students ranging from grades 1-6.

When learning is a positive, enjoyable, and rewarding experience for children, they learn material much more easily and they retain it much longer than they do when it's not. I make learning a rewarding experience for my students by genuinely acknowledging their effort and their progress; I make it enjoyable by often adding humor to my tutoring and by making it a game as well as a goal to be achieved; and I make learning a positive experience by affirming my students’ worth as unique human beings.
Prior to becoming a tutor, I was a life coach for seven years. While I have worked with a variety of clients and have helped them achieve many different goals, my specialty has been helping people with chronic illnesses and emotional challenges such as depression and bipolar disorder heal their spirits so they can find peace and joy. While I'm not a published author yet, I am writing a bo ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I love helping children learn in a way that's fun and supportive. I strongly engage my students in the process by asking questions and balancing the different learning styles (auditory, written, verbal, physical). I can bring structure and focus to students' learning path in a compassionate and safe environment, and help them gain confidence and be successful.
I have always enjoyed helping people learn, from dancing and sailing in my youth, to English and French more recently. For two years I was a tutor at a resource center at a city college, where I helped students on a one on one basis with reading and writing skills. I have tutored privately a number of clients in French, and I currently teach a French class at an after care program.

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy teaching and working with children and feel that it is important to understand that not all students learn the same way. I feel that my college experience has taught me to discover the ways I learn and understand things. In that sense I feel that all students have the potential to succeed if they acknowledge and become aware of their appropriate manner of learning. I think that being patient, compassionate and understanding is a must, which I feel I can bring fourth as a tutor and mentor. Doing community service in high school to my college years I have always enjoyed working and helping others because of the rewarding feeling that you can make a difference in someone's life.

I recently graduated from the University of California, Santa Barbara with a Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences and strong background in Chemistry. I have completed the Organic Chemistry series with excellent grades. I also completed two quarters of Biochemistry with above average grades. I enjoyed learning these subjects and I would love to tutor this subject. My tutoring experience consists of eight months assisting fourth graders in reading. I have a great interest in teaching as I plan to go abroad to teach English sometime next year.
My tutoring experience has been very rewarding, because results are evident within a couple of sessions with the students. I am patient, positive, and creative. As a student in Organic Chemistry I have learned that repetition is the best way to know the material. As a teacher for Organic Chemistry I believe that after the initial ... read more
