For as long as I can remember I have desired to become a teacher. I didn't pursue it initially because I was lured to careers which netted a greater return on my investment, I thought. I later returned to school and continue education eagerly. I am very much able to connect to students with various backgrounds, abilities and challenges. I have developed a style that not only includes direct instruction but hands-on, inquiry based learning that fosters retention and is delivered in a positive, upbeat, fun environment. I love children and working with them comes very natural for me. I was born to teach and it is manifested by the two-way love and respect shown as well as the progress made by my students. Prior to teaching, I worked as a human resources professional and have learned all phases of human resources with a specialty for recruitment. I have taken the tenets of human reso

Working with children is my passion ,and ensuring their success is my goal.I consider my teaching style to be a demonstrator in which I put an emphasis on demonstration and modeling. Where I guide the student to develop and apply the skills that were demonstrated. I feel that encouraging student participation while adapting their unique learning style will help the student take responsibility for learning what they need help on. A student should be pushed to excel but it is also about teaching the student discipline, and respecting others. Lastly, tutoring is about having fun, creating a exciting experience to the student and creating a memorable teaching environment that ensure success for the student. I have the passion required to help students reach their full academic potential. Teaching is about not only motivating them to learn but to teach them how to learn. My B.S in Accounting

All students can learn, but in different ways. I, for one, learn best by watching how something is done. I can read about it, or hear a lecture about it, but seeing it helps me under

One of the key elements of tutoring is communication between the tutor and student. Encouraging discussion instead of lecturing of the subject is important. Facilitating good rapport allows me to understand a student’s strengths and weaknesses and allows focus on the weak areas. For example, does the student primarily utilize rote memorization or is he/she capable of a higher level of critical thinking? Someone who is more familiar with memorization as a way of learning can be taught to expand their understanding of the subject if the right questions are asked to them. Someone that demonstrates higher critical thinking skills might do better with repetitive exercises on the subject which encourages focus and application. Although I tutored math (geometry, algebra II) and biology in high school, I ended up graduating from UCLA with a BA in Political Science. Somewhat of an about-fac

My background in tutoring includes ESL, elementary, middle school and college students. I have tutored predominately in Language Arts, which is my forte and passion. Since I am trilingual, I have naturally been drawn to tutoring ESL or non-native English speakers. I have tutored at the writing center at College of the Desert, part-time in the evenings. In addition, I have tutored two years in a row for the No Child Left Behind tutoring. Currently, I work as a library media technician at Truman Elementary School. I assist students with various library and media center related things such as learning software to finding library materials. I was recently awarded a grant to teach library classes after school, which was a big hit for the students who attended. Currently, I am writing a visually appealing and humorous book on learning the fundamentals of grammar. I was inspired by stu

I am a firm believer that every child can learn by incorporating the "Multiple Intelligence" method in instructing and assessing a student's progress. I have always loved teaching and working with children. I treat each child the way I would want my own two children to be treated, with kindness and respect. I am very firm, but have been told that I am also fair, and nurturing. I expect that each child should work to his or her utmost potential and I always hold children accountable for their schoolwork. Watching their learning and personal growth not to mention their confidence and self esteem grow gives me great satisfaction and what makes teaching such a wonderful and fulfilling job. As a 30 year retired elementary teacher, I am fully certified under the "No Child Left Behind" national standards and very experienced in preparing students for state mandated testing.
