More About This Tutor...

I spent 2 years tutoring Math for the students in my Mothers classroom afterschool (4th grade). I spent one year in college working with special needs students from the local elementary school, which included writing lesson plans and executing activities in group form. I taught one year of 7th grade Health and Physical Education. I tutored all the students at the end of the year to help them achieve passing scores on End Of Grade testing.
I do not like to teach out of textbooks. I use them primarily as resources. I prefer to create a lesson or activity that plays to the strengths of the individual child/student and challenges them on their particular level. I have found interactive lessons are very effective for all age ranges.

As an Anthropology major, I was qualified to work as an archaeologist with the Joshua Tree National Park for 7 years. I was responsible for site recognition, recording and records keeping. I also interacted with the public as an employee of the park. I also led my own tour groups, all ages and abilities, into the desert for historic and nature tours. I have been a substitute teacher for the Morongo Basin School District for the past 3 years. I work with all ages and all school levels. I am currently taking online classes to get my teaching credential in Special Education. I also work with the public as a real estate agent, and have been selling real estate in the high desert for over 10 years.
I like to have a guide for the daily work and have specific goals every day. However, when someone is interested in a different subject, I like to explore that topic. I think it is very impor ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have 10 years experience with Morongo unified School district as a substitute teacher, a student teacher, and now a home teacher. I have spent 7 years as a home teacher--all grade levels--all major subjects. I work with students that are expelled or suspended or have a mediacl condition that prevents them from attending public school within the district. I am the very best at what I do and can work with students few others can or will work with.I am very well versed in all major subjects even though my teaching credential is social science.
I am a very patient teacher and meet students on their level, speak and relate to them with respect and love---and teach them according to their needs and skill levels. If a student is difficult to work with, I will not hesitate to steer off the subject path for a few minutes to discuss something that interests them--this gains their respect ... read more

Education has been my passion and dream for as long as I can remember. Furthermore, I followed my dream and graduated from Cal State California with a Bachelors Degree in Liberal Studies and a concentration in History. Due to my education I am exceedingly familiar with classroom settings and the professionalism that comes with it. I also have accumulated plentiful hours of observations in different classrooms, along with many hours of volunteer help in numerous elementary and preschool classrooms. Within this past year I have done extensive studying for the CSET exam, this studying has furthered my understanding of the elementary educational testing.
I truly believe that children are the future and I teach and treat them according to that. Teaching with Understanding is the primary goal that I have. Through my own experience I have learned that every child learns and understands ... read more

Through my experiences working with children, I have learned to adapt my teaching styles to fit each students' individual needs. Many students learn through visual and tactile means, where as others can pick up new material orally. I also believe it is important for me as an educator to connect with the students in way that each student feels that you understand them. Many students lack self esteem and confidence when it comes to their learning abilities and I am there to help them believe in themselves in order to produce successful work. My background as a bilingual educator has helped me to consistently be culturally sensitive in the classroom environment as well as within the community.
As a graduate in the field of Education, I have found my true passion in helping students reach their goals and achieve success. I have been working with children in different capacitie ... read more
