Emphasis and understanding of the fundmental material is crucial, and I would focus more on simplifying how certain topics should be understood rather than over-complicating the problem.

I worked a child with their study skills, I helped bring their grade from D's to A's and B's. I helped the student with English, Math, and with the child staying on task and making the work fun to learn. We made up games and made stories that helped make the child memorize and enjoy to learn the boring stuff

A Little Bit About Me...

“Shoot for the moon… Even if you miss you’ll land amongst the stars.” I believe that there are no limitations to the amount of knowledge that a student can acquire. I have high expectations of each and every child, keeping in mind their own personal potential at all times. Private tutoring allows me the opportunity to do what I enjoy most in a more relaxed environment. I conduct my tutoring sessions in a demanding, yet nurturing atmosphere. I don't believe in busy work. I believe that through intense one-on-one guidance and practice a student can succeed in leaps and bounds. Each student's success, both personal and academic, truly is my greatest goal!!
For 13 years, I have been teaching at Merryhill Schools at the 4th, 5th, and 4th/5th grade levels. As the designated Lead Teacher for 5 years, I was responsible for orientation and supervision of new teachers. ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe that education and learning are two of the most exciting and fulfilling elements of life and believe that helping others to learn is a way to give something back to this world. I have a Masters degree in Business. Not surprisingly, my math skills are quite good. Additionally, I possess strong communication skills (verbal and written) and am working on my first novel. In my professional life, I have managed staff and welcomed opportunities to teach and mentor. An intern from years ago recently contacted me and told me that he still fondly remembers us working on a white board to problem solve an issue. I believe that learning and problem solving should be fun, a puzzle that can be cracked if we just approach it the right way.
I love the learning process. Few things in life are as rewarding as teaching and learning. Stylistically, I would consider myself to a patient and ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I earned my Bachelors of Fine Arts in 2003 and I have taught creative writing, theatre, playwriting, and acting since then. In 2005, I gained my substitute teacher credential and have taught all around Sacramento, substituting for teachers in all subjects. I also write plays and poems. I have always had an interest and talent for teaching kids. I have taught kids from one on one, all the way to audiences of 300. I have also worked as a nanny for 10 years, so I know what kids are into, what they like, and how to get them to respond.
I believe that kids learn better when they are enjoying themselves and sometimes even having fun! I try to make the things they are learning interesting and entertaining. If a child does not want to learn, they won't, by adding fun into the equation, you have created the desire to learn in that child. I am very patient and easy-going, but I also know whe ... read more

I have been in the field of education for approximately 14 years of which the last 8 years have been special education. I have worked with students of all ages, on all skill levels and many with learning disabilities through 8th grade. I was a high school art teacher for two years and I worked in a college library for four years. I am able and willing to work with students of all ages. My emphasis has been the field of language arts; however, I taught middle school math for students with learning disabilities for two years. I am capable of assessing student's skill levels in both math and language arts. I feel that this is a strength.
Since I have worked students with a wide variety of learning issues; I feel that I am well prepared to assess and deliver educational materials and instruction to any student. I understand that each student has his learning style and prefers sp ... read more

My bachelor's degree in English serves as an example for the effort and time committed to education and a service to academia. I learned literary skills concerning literary forms: folklore, poetry, short story, photography, personal essay, analytical essay. My two years of high school Spanish, one year of College French, and completion of breadth college requirements provide a slight ability for me to tutor Spanish and French language, computer navigation, basic algebraic math, and basic social studies. During the last three years I tutored ESL, reading, and Astronomy at Chaffey College, overlooked K-12 after-school P.E. programs with the Boys and Girls Club, and facilitated a course in wheelchair basketball and disability at UC Berkeley.
I would describe my teaching style in terms of the activity, belaying. Slack is given to the rope at times so that the climber may advance, or tr ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe children need to feel success in the classroom. Making a mistake is not necessarily bad. Sometimes making a ton of mistakes is the route to understanding. Repetition is necessary to building strong skills. I try to create a positive environment for learning, stress free. I'm an upbeat individual who's highly motivated to working with students of all ages.
Prior to receiving my BA in Music, I worked for over twenty years in the medical and pharmaceutical field as a medical transcriptionist, medical biller/coder and pharmaceutical technician. I attended many courses to obtain a medical transcription license and pharmaceutical technician license in California. During my early college years, I tutored music students at Diablo Valley College in Pleasant Hill, CA and math students. I made a decision to return back to college to pursue a degree. I graduated from the Univ ... read more
