More About This Tutor...

I've worked numerous jobs, none of which were fulfilling except the ones where I worked with children, particularly students who were troubled or had learning disabilities. I was a theatre major in college, so you might be quick to think I was a flake or someone who just coasted by through college, but I graduated with a 3.7 GPA, receiving some of my best scores in Logic and History, but my favorite subject was Shakespearean literature. I've worked with many children over the years in both a daycare and classroom setting, some easier than others, but I respected and enjoyed working with all of them. I have a fun and vibrant personality and a great sense of humor which draws people in. My passion and joie de vivre is infectious.
I'm not going to lie; I hated school when I was younger. Some people might think this a drawback when hiring someone as a tutor, but I think it has mad ... read more

I have a social work background which, in my work has always been integrated with some component of teaching, both in and out of the classroom. I can teach most K-12 subjects, college prep courses and provide tutoring services including assessment and curriculum development. I tend to be rather versatile in my teaching methods as I adapt to the learning style of the student. It's what I have found most effective in improving the quality of their educational experience. I play tournament chess and enjoy coaching chess club as well.
I ascribe to Gardner's 8 Stages of Intelligence theory, which purports the belief that every student is gifted, intelligent and capable of learning in a manner that conducive to their own unique style. As a teacher, I use myself as a tool to help facilitate the learning process.

I am currently enrolled at the university of phoenix where I will begin a masters in education this upcoming month. I have a BA in human services, which has allowed me to gain understanding about children and adolecents and what are some of the motivators that may be able to help them want to learn and go forth seeking higher education. During the first year of my last job I got to tutor children in rural communities in NM. I have to say that working with these children was a life changing experience. I observed that with a little bit of attention and the appropriate educational guidance these children were able to learn what they had not been able to learn in school.
I have a passion for teaching children and adolecents. I have the strong belief that everyone has the capability to learn anything that they desire, but it all comes down to the amount of effort each task is given. I ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style is very flexible. Because I have worked with children, teenagers, and adults, the ability to adapt to the learner's ability level is especially important. Not all people learn at the exact pact, therefore, flexibility is essential as well as non traditional teaching methods. Some non traditional teaching methods I have applied include interpreting math problems through real life situations. I find that some kids will relate to NBA references while others prefer food examples. Either way, it keeps the child interested which is the key role of a good tutor.
Although I listed only 2 years of prior instruction, I have taught over 5 years of business/finance related material. On a school level basis, I personally have a child with ADHD that I tutor at home. I am especially proficient in English/Language Arts. My research and writing skills are exceptionally keen due to ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My prefered teaching style is a student-centered environment where I can facilitate the learning. I plan on using this approach as a tutor to identify specific problem areas and assist the student in overcomming these learning barriers.
As a graduate student in the University of Texas in El Paso, I have been very interested in Multi-Cultural instruction. I have performed specialized studies in Curriculum Development and Classroom Management. I am also enrolled in a teacher certification program that has prepared me with the knowledge and experiance for classroom instruction. I have learned extensive Reading skills that promote vocabulary enhancement.
