A Little Bit About Me...

I have a talent for teaching and love to help students learn material in a way other than how it is traditionally taught. I believe everyone has a different learning style and it is important to teach in ways that a variety of students understand. My teaching style is hands on and provides visual and verbal information. I like to provide numerous examples and practice problems. I strongly believe that a student must take the initiative to practice outside of the classroom or tutoring session to really grasp the information and promote parent involvement. I strive to be an educator who makes a difference in the achievement level of the students that I assist.
As a college graduate, I have been educated on a wide variety of topics which I achieved high academic excellence. I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in communication disorders and psychology. These subjects have allowed ... read more

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

More About This Tutor...

During my own college career, I have attained experience working with students as a tutor, teacher's assistant, and peer. I have always enjoyed working with students and feel that my work and coursework experience has adequately prepared me for this position. As a recent graduate from UCLA,I have taken mathematics courses ranging from Pre-Algebra to Calculus, including Statistics. My degree from UCLA was in Biology and so I am very comfortable working as a science tutor. I also have one year’s experience as a peer math tutor for San Bernardino Valley College and I was also a part of a year-long program at UCLA called California Teach, where I was able to work as a teacher's assistant for elementary, junior high, and high school levels.
As a tutor, I know I will be responsible for teaching, tutoring, and offering assistance on various math assignments and test preparations to s ... read more

I greatly enjoy working with people of all ages and education levels. I believe all children can and want to be educated; unfortunately school teachers do not have the time to decipher the unique way in which each of their students' learns. Alas this does not allow every child to reach their full potential. I am patient, considerate, and through my education have learned the many ways that individuals learn and how to work with each kind of learner. I believe all children can meet their full capabilities with the proper learning experiences and proper learning techniques.
As a recent graduate with a BA in Sociology I've acquired an ample understanding in the social sciences, focusing on psychology, history, social studies, language arts, sociology, and linguistics all four years I attended. Throughout my experience I gained an understanding for the arts including drawing and pa ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

For the past year-and-a-half, I have worked as a long-term substitute teacher for the Palm Springs Unified School District, acting as the virtual teacher of record in dedicated classrooms on several occasions. Inherent in that experience, I developed lesson plans and graded student work, as well as liaised with parents and administration. I am versed in the California Content Standards across curriculums and have passed my CBEST, as well as my CSET.
Fair, firm and consistent are my mantras of classroom management. In that, I believe that all children deserve a safe, clean, engaging, yet structured environment in which to meet their full potential. I firmly believe that learning is a team affair, and practice the standards of cooperative learning.
