I taught advance instrument design at Stanford University using laser detection technology. The two semsters involved handles on generation of working prototypes. During my time as an graduate student, I tutored undergraduate classes in organic and math while I was a Teachers Assistant for the General Chemistry classes. I ran and graded three lab classes as part of my duties. I homeschool my children in math, art and science. They ask question about a subject and I give them answers to their questions. If I do not know the answer, I then teach them how to look up the answer or work it out from fundamental assumptions. By having them approach me their interest level is peaked and them retain the information. I learned in graduate school how to learn which I then pass along to my students.

I have a Bachelors degree in Medical Technology and have a current California license as a Clinical Laboratory Scientist and a Histocompatibility certificate from the American Board of Immunogenetics. I have tutored my nieces and cousins in the past and have done some brief training for people in the workplace. I'm also an artist, besides painting I enjoy writing and poetry. I have a finished manuscript of a picture book for children. My passion for learning is a lifetime goal for me. As a young child I wanted to be a teacher but eventually went into a different field but the love of teaching never left me. Being detail oriented, I enjoy the process of explaining things methodically and creatively. I like to approach things in a constructive way and always try to view it in the child's perspective. It is important to encourage and motivate the children and make learning fun

I graduated with my BS in Human Development and Family Studies from the University of Nevada, Reno College of Education. I completed my internship as a Read and Succeed Elementary Reading Tutor in Washoe County. That experience gave me the skills I needed to help develop confidence in reading, improve reading skills and comprehension, promote and initiate thought, understand cause and effect, and make predictions. I enjoy teaching and working with children in a one-on-one setting. I am qualified to help your child succeed. I am patient, fun, adaptable, flexible, friendly and easy going. I believe that all children have the right to learn in their own way. I can help instill confidence in children as they grow and develop and reach their potential. I provide age and developmentally appropriate learning practices for children in a way that is easy to understand.

As a recent graduate of one of the top-rated business schools in the nation, I clearly enjoy learning and therefore want to share that with others through tutoring. I have worked with a multitude of students and therefore have learned how to adapt my teaching style to best suit the student’s needs. I’m a firm believer that one can learn anything if they are willing to put in the time and effort. I once thought I would never understand math and later earned an A in a college level calculus course as a high school senior. While tutoring students I believe it is also important to instill confidence in the student and give them the tools to help them succeed on their own. My love for English Literature has allowed me to flourish in English class starting in elementary school. As a freshman in high school I was elected to be a peer tutor. I held the volunteer job for all four years of my high

I have over twenty years of experience teaching reading. I completed all of the Houghton/Mifflin Language Arts training sessions that taught California teachers how to be expert Language Arts teachers. I have also attended many Language Arts training sessions through my school district and county education offices. I also ran Language Arts and ESL Intervention programs at my school. I have a B.S. and a Master's degree in Education, and I am CLAD Certified. I love teaching and get along very well with children. I respect them and I know how to inspire them to do their best work. I believe in "Assertive Discipline". This style uses lots of verbal praise, rewards and incentives. It keeps learning on a positive, moving forward track. This style of teaching is never negative. It encourages learning through engaging, age-appropriate, research-based, fun activities. It starts by assessing each

After obtaining my teaching credential in English, I taught high school English for three years (grades 9 & 10) and drama for one. Then I taught special ed English for two years. I also taught one year of Language Arts (grade 8). I established a peer tutoring and stud habits program at Branham High School for ninth graders who were struggling to pass their classes. At A Place for Teens center in Los Gatos, I ran a peer tutoring program for students who had no other place to do their homework. I am passionate about inspiring students to enjoy reading and writing. It is my goal to find a balance between what they are interested in (ie: their career goals)and what they will be interested in (ie: other cultures). I believe they deserve to be exposed to new things, as well as to express their own interests.

My "teaching style" changes depending on the needs of my students. In all cases, an initial assessment of both the academic level and the temperament of each student are necessary before I establish a particular style. Some students are comfortable with a quieter, more formal tutor, while others are successful with a more casual, animated tutor. In every situation, I look for opportunities to give positive reinforcement. For example, I usually warm-up with material the student feels relatively confident about, then add new or more challenging concepts, and end with the student feeling successful practicing on his or her own. 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 taug

Teaching can be a most wonderful adventure. I believe every child can learn. At times students or overwhelming with new concepts, and they need to be encouraged, and praise until they can accomplish the task at hand. I enjoy seeing the appearence of awareness on a childs face, when they have accomplished a goal, or solved a problem they had difficulty solving. I believe tutoring a child can be a powerful tool, and it can also unleash a potential genius. As a graduate, I've been very blessed to have received a degree in Business Communication. In college I learned how to become a better educator, and communicate with them on the highest level. Although, I tutor in all of the academic areas, I also enjoy helping my student appreciate the art of becoming a good writer, and thinkers. My students are also encouraged to read for relaxation, and entertainment. Making the education process fun i
