I was a professional tutor at the university for three years; I tutored high school students while in college. In addition, I have been teaching high school English for two years. In addition, I was president of the University of Toledo's Writer's Guild, which focused on writing and publishing at the university level. I scored a 289/290 for writing and a 287/290 for reading on the Praxis/Pearson exam. Furthermore, I also scored above average on writing, reading, and interpreting literature on the Pearson's teaching standardized test.

My comments on tutoring Grammar : Students encounter incorrect grammar usage such as in referring to first, second, and third person, shifting a noun into a pronoun, and use of tenses (future, present, and past). Another mistake students demonstrate is usage of adverb of time, manner, and place. Use of conjunctions and interjections are difficult for some students.

I started teaching right after my college graduation from Philippine Normal University. I taught ESL (English as A Second Language in public schools from 1968 - 1985. From 1985 - 1991 I taught at the United States Refugee Program. On October 1991 I was sent by the US Refugee Program to University of Omaha, Nebraska as a guest lecturer on ESL. Then I worked as a tutor in English Business for foreign professionals in Connecticut from December 1991 - 1995.

While I have been working on my Elementary Education degree I have had the opportunity to teach young children. I have also spent the last two semesters taking methods classes, learning to teach different subjects. I have spent many years babysitting, 2 years teaching an 18 month old basics (counting, abc's, colors, phrases) and eventually complete sentences. For a year I worked with a 4th grader helping with homework and tutoring her in reading and spelling. I have also spent 2 summers working with a 2nd/3rd grader on spelling, basic English concepts, sentences, and reading.
I really enjoy working with children, primarily in the lower grades. I am patient, caring, and easy going. I strongly believe that children are most successful when they are able to learn through doing. I feel that it is very important to teach using multiple modalities rather than just speaking to a child. ... read more

More About This Tutor...

As a Graduate student in Special Education, I have learned that there are many different ways to approach the English language. I have extensive experience in writing papers and the rules of the English language. I proof read many papers for friends and co workers. I have tutored many of my friends and their friends in English and writing papers. I also enjoy writing and teaching others, because I also learn from every experience that I have had with others.
I have a passion for education. I believe that children can learn without even knowing it! Children love to play games and I make teaching like a game for them, so they have a great time and they are learning. There is substantial information that suggests that children retain knowledge if they thoroughly understand it and if they are having fun learning it. I haven't met to many children that don't remember rules and the dire ... read more

I value the learning styles of each individual student and regardless of subject matter, I emphasize developing study skills to enable the student to apply what he or she learns in every subject/course.
In the last nine years, I have actively addressed the goals and available resources of diverse student populations. During college, I tutored through several organizations, including AVID, Hermanas Intimas, and the Ophelia Project. Later at San Francisco State University, I served as a Teaching Assistant for two semesters and two departments. Prior to these experiences, I have taught English, ESL, and EFL to native and non-native English speakers domestically as well as internationally. English was not my first language, and I use my own experiences with language and culture to communicate successfully with students from all backgrounds. Furthermore, I am very comfortable with onlin ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe teaching style is dictated by the student. I have noticed that some take to hands on training better or repeating of the process till it is learned. I like to teach a subject and have the student repeat it back to me when I am done to make sure they have learned anything from what I have just said.
Experience: Responsible for monitoring training of individuals on shift and delegating work assignments. I would assist in designing training aids and test. I was responsible for scheduling training, perform the training, and then following up with making sure it is recorded and tracked.

A Little Bit About Me...

Presently, I am a part time adjunct instructor. As a superintendent and principal, I have observed 100’s of classrooms, and being around the best of teachers, I have a pretty good foundation of what good teaching is about. Rasmussen managers and students have also given me wonderful evaluations. It is so important that students are listened to, and it is also vital that classes are dynamic and interesting. Most years of my career was spent in elementary teaching, and in many of those years I served as a tutor. I was also a tutor at Rasmussen College. I have tutored and taught classes in both the special needs and gifted areas.
I have a lot of patience, especially patience to help students by carefully showing them their mistakes. Students learn best by listening and correcting errors -getting the correct result. Learning by doing and discovery fit into this scenario ... read more

I cannot imagine any other career for myself than teaching. I'm one of the lucky ones who gets up every day and is actually excited to go to work. My teaching style is very individualized for each student. I believe that each child is different and therefore requires differentiated instruction. I believe that every child is capable of learning but not necessarily in the same way. It is important to have high expectations. I believe that if you set your standards high, students will rise to meet them. Teaching is my passion and my goal is to help students enjoy learning. I hope that all my students become life long learners.
As an Elementary School Teacher, I have taught 1st, 3rd, and 4th grades in the Pendergast and Dysart School Districts. I am currently working at Rancho Gabriela Elementary School in the Dysart District which has been an Excelling school for the last tw ... read more
