A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy working with children because of their curiosity and forthrightness. Through exploration of the subject matter, I engage their curiosity while respecting their opinions and efforts. I am patient and work to establish a rapport with a child so that s/he is comfortable with me. This allows for a greater focus on the material to be studied. I know that every child can learn and progress, if given the tools to succeed.
I am an Ivy League graduate with a BA in Classics. As an undergraduate, I studied Latin and ancient Greek, as well as classical and medieval history and literature. I have extensive experience in researching, writing and editing due to my own studies as well as reviewing the work of colleagues. I have two years experience teaching small classes and tutoring individuals.

My teaching style consists of consistency, understanding, consideration, connection and positive acknowledgement. All children need consistency to help with academic success. This means a certain time, environment, etc. in which they study or learn. Understanding refers to the fact that not all children study or learn the same so this is pertinent in order to learn and accomodate each child you help. Consideration is being open to different situations and learning blocks each child may have; be considerate to each child's needs. Connection refers to the fact that children and their parents must be able to trust you and know that you will help their children to the best of your ability and unleash their true potential. Positive acknowledgement refers to the postive "praise" or reinforcement of achievements. This drives children to want to do better and instills self-confidence and ... read more

As a graduate of Sociology I have gained a lot of knowledge about how society functions. I was interested in this area of study to understand peoples because I have always had compassion for others. I have participated in a 4 unit class where i taught Spanish to 8-11 year old children and it consisted of developing a plan that included songs and dancing to learn Spanish in a fun and animated way. I have done research on homelessness, and had an internship with a non profit that provides social services for those in need. Working closely with this organization has helped me assess peoples needs and use problem solving skills to help individuals in a variety of situations.
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 und ... read more

Like everything I do in life, I like to have a plan to go about working through situations. I have had many years as a chemistry tutor and I have come across many different people with different issues when it comes to learning chemistry. My understanding of chemistry allows me to approach a problem from different angles to help the tutee understand the problem. I believe anyone is capable of learning chemistry and I have seen many students who struggled with the subject turn their grades around. When I was a student, I had many inspirational teachers, and I for one would like to give back to the educational system and benefit people and inspire them to do well in chemistry and in their educational career in general.
As a recent graduate of the CSU East Bay chemistry program, I was given the opportunity to have personal instruction from many different professors. I was able to ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Having graduated with honors from a top university, the greatest asset I offer comes from my real world teaching experience. During my tenure as a substitute I have taught at all levels, from kindergarten to middle-aged adults, in all subject areas. Even as a young person I was involved with teaching others; I first began as a teacher's aid in high school and later I served as a tutor in college. This led to teaching full-time at the kindergarten level. Last year I worked in a summer camp in Canada and I completed my TESOL training and I was successful in teaching English in Paris France in the fall. Returning to California I continue to teach part time for the Ventura Unified School District.
My training in rhetoric, speech, and debate has taught me the importance of speaking clearly and articulately. This means that I pay close attention to language and I try to bring out that qu ... read more

As a University of South Florida college of education graduate I have a wealth of experience with teaching both in the classroom and on a one to one basis. I have successfully tutored students in english, reading comprehension, science and social sciences. During my internship I taught all manner of history classes including AP world history and Psychology. In addition I have tutored for 5 years at all age and skill levels.
My teaching style is to show students how to make themselves successful. By motivating my students to do their best every time I can help them exceed expectations and thrive under any situation both academically and socially. Many students focus on what they think they cannot do. What I teach them is to highlight their strengths and improve their weaknesses. I do so with the use of clear directions, constant monitoring, and positive praise. I believe every child ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I truly enjoy teaching and getting to know my students. I believe young adults are each unique learners and acquire and retain knowledge in their own way. It truly makes me happy when a student finally ‘gets it’ and understands a new skill, fact, or concept. Personality wise, I am very patient, laid back, and reliable. I was frequently praised by parents during my student teaching for my engaging lessons and friendly demeanor. I believe all students can reach their true potential if provided with the right learning tools and strategies to help them succeed. I also like to focus on the positives and what a student is naturally more talented at to help them in areas in which they might struggle. I look forward to helping more young students reach their academic goals and to better their educational experience.
I have always possessed a strong desire to follow a career in educat ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

It is always a thrill for me to work with a student and to help them achieve their goals. Each student is unique. The way in which they assimilate knowledge may also be unique. It is the skill of the teacher then to know what is the best approach to take with each student to help them discover their own inherent abilities. When a student also finds that the process of learning is enjoyable, it can foster a love for knowledge which will sustain them throughout their life. Life after all is an endless learning process and the more that we are open to learning and discovering, the more successful we will be in our lives.
I have enjoyed a unique educational background, having been required to study all academic disciplines as an undergraduate. The benefits of this unique approach to education later inspired me to earn a Master's degree in the development of consciousness, which ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have volunteered English as a Second Language tutoring services through the Santa Barbara Public Library for over two years. My students have come from Mexico, Latvia, and Mongolia. In addition, my most recent paid jobs as a Market Research Analyst/Associate Analyst included Editing/Quality Control duties, focusing on proper grammar, style, and content. I have a passion for the proper use of the English language, both spoken and written, and would relish an opportunity to share that passion with students.
Each student is unique and needs to be approached in a unique teaching fashion. I try hard to listen to students and to learn what their goals and needs are. I then tailor the teaching approach to meet those goals and needs, fully believing that if students sense they are being listened to they will also feel motivated to learn. I am patient, able to laugh and feel comfortable a ... read more

I believe in an interactive approach. That is, I want my students actively involved, engaged, and participating. When a student is puzzled, I prefer to provide clues rather than just give him/her the answer. I strive to be patient and respectful at all times, but I will push my pupils in an effort to get them to exert maximum effort.
I decided to pursue a teaching credential at an advanced stage in my career because I wanted to do something I really enjoyed. I had been a technical instructor for fifteen years and loved it. I have always been good in math, and a university counselor told me this was a high need area. Hence, I enrolled in a credential program. Because I have passed the requisite Csets in foundation level math, I am qualified to teach algebra and geometry at the middle or high school level. I have also tutored students ranging from third grade to high school g ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I am very patient with students. I am not quick to tell them how to do a problem or what the answer is because the student will never learn how to do it on their own. I allow the student to work through the problem, offering my assistance along the way.
I started tutoring high school students; helping them with anything from test prep to organizational and study skills. I then started tutoring younger children helping them complete their homework, understand their material, and how to study for tests. I have over seven years experience tutoring students and getting results. I love children and helping them succeed in school is my passion.
