I particularly enjoy watching an apathetic student become excited when he/she has grasped a concept that was frustrating for him/her. I am a firm believer in children becoming responsible for their own learning. This is achieved when the teacher is able to teach and the child is able to learn. I feel tha

I also worked with the Friday Night Live anti-drug program in schools, working with youth of all ages.

I taught in private schools in California for 15 years ( 1980-1994). I started as a teacher, then became a Media Specialist, then a Vice Principal and finally a principal. I moved to Indiana in 1994, where I taught in public school for 3 years. We moved back to California in 2000. Since that time I have served as a Library Media Specialist and Reading Teacher. Presently I teach reading fundamentals to small groups of students from 2nd through 6th grades.Additionally, I am a writer, and have published numerous stories and articles, and one full length book of fiction. I believe in using the differentiated approach to teaching--based upon the seven intelligences. I plan for all lessons being taught, and state the objectives on the board for each lesson. I present the lesson, allowing the students to interact and respond by activating prior knowledge, discussing points and inviting them to

I thoroughly enjoy working and education children. Whether it is on the basketball court or in the classroom, teaching children how to succeed and learn has always been a passion of mine. While each student has his or her own way of learning new material, there are several components of teaching that can aide in this process. For example, constant encouragement, constructive feedback, and consistent enthusaism can have a tremendous impact on the ability of a student to learn. I strive to help each student reach the potential that they do not always see in themselves. As someone who took their education seriously, I look forward to enlightening students on the importance of a good education in today's society. During my last four years I have been given several opportunities to interact and educate students of all ages. Working with the Upward Bound Program I tutored high school students

I am passionate about helping people. Teaching has enabled me to fuel that passion into an English classroom setting. I enjoy being around students and helping them solve their academic problems. With a degree in Psychology and experience in helping youth, I strive to understand the process behind the problem. Vocabulary, grammar, writing and reading are all working together to create comprehension of various skills and needed practices. It is my desire to simplify the subject of English and motivate the student to succeed. My BA in English has given me the foundation to invite students to put aside their fears or concerns regarding the subject of English and to look at it from a different perspective. Beyond the subject matter and what I will be teaching, I have to spend some time getting to know the child. If I do not take the time to make them feel important and show that they

In 1999, I earned a bachelor's degree in journalism with an emphasis in creative writing from Pepperdine University. I spent the next decade honing my skills as a copy editor at daily newspapers. I have spent considerable time in and out of the office studying grammar books. A few years ago, I tutored a student in English. His mother reported significant improvement in his writing and comprehension. I specialize in grammar, punctuation and syntax. And while I am light in tutoring experience, I am one of the few tutors who can point to a grammar-heavy career and say, "This is the practical application of the skills you are learning." First, I need to know over what and why the student is struggling. Once I know the problem, I can help the student gain the confidence and knowledge necessary to learn the material. My son learns in a unique way, and that has reinforced the reality that every

I don't think there is a better feeling then to see a student be proud they were able master something they thought impossible. If I had to say what method I used to teach students, I would have to say that every student is different, and that what works for one may not work for the other. I would say my approach would be to first understand what may be causing them to struggle, then working from there to teach them to be confident in their ability, and providing the appropriate tools needed to succeed. I started in school system in 1999..I became a mentor working with at risk students I wanted to help students who lacked confidence, had low academic test scores, and lower level learners.I worked in Special Ed. for 5 yrs as teachers aide grades 6th, 7th, and 8th.I worked in the after school program teaching 4th and 5th grade combo.

I am passionate about teaching children. I always try to find new and innovative ways to make learning fun. I consider it my goal to make the student want to come back the next day. I am very hands on and will bring in aids to help children understand the lesson that they are working on. I don't want to just 'get through' the lesson, I want them to understand, enjoy and then want more!

My desire is not to simply communicate information to students, but to accommodate material in such a way so that each individual student can learn a way that is easy and hopefully enjoyable. Not every student enjoys learning every subject, but I believe that an accommodating and understanding teacher, willing to work hard in order to make learning simple and useful, can give the student the necessary motivation and confidence to learn any subject well. Therefore, while I accommodate my teaching style to each student's needs and abilities, I always strive to teach in such a way where learning becomes a personal interest for the student as they expand their capabilities through engaging and struggling in the hard work that is education. Throughout my educational experience I have been committed to academic excellence. I recently graduated summa cum laude with a BA in English. My studies g

Over the course of my career, I have taught a wide variety of courses for age groups K-12 which include: English, math, history, geography and English as a second language. I am quite comfortable with classes of different sizes, at different levels, and with various teaching styles. I incorporate the tactile, visual and auditory teaching methods. I have also taught adults to read in the adult literacy programs at many libraries. Some believe classes should be teacher-centered, where the teacher is expert and authority in presenting information. Others take a learner-centered approach, viewing their role as more of a facilitor of student learning. I do both. I have taught at Porterville, Tulare and Palmdale libraries.
