I always strive to draw the student's attention to the lesson, therefore, I work most math problems with my students. I try to keep communication open and light-hearted. I want my studeents to feel free to ask questions and come to me with any problems they may have. I generally prefer hands-on learning. I try to never "lecture" and remain removed from the material the student is working on. I am very involved with the student and am not afraid to challenge them when I feel they are ready for that. I have taught all grades for several years as a teacher. My main focus has been Special Education and I am close to completing my Education Specialist Credential.

My approach is simple: assess the student's academic weaknesses, review the strengths, then teach the new material in order to bridge the content or skill. "Scaffolding" is the best means by which to teach so that the student understands the significance of the lesson. Too often, teachers play sage-on-stage, thereby neglecting to connect what the student already knows with the new material. I am a credential-holding elementary school teacher with experience ranging from Kindergarten through 6th grade. Also, I have tutored children and adults in English language arts, from basic grammar to college composition writing. Further, I tutor other academic subjects: social studies, history, literature, general science, basic computer skills and creative writing. I hope that I can be of use to you!

My teaching style is adaptive, changing with the needs of the individual student. Since each student learns in a different manner, so have I learned to adapt my teaching to each individual student. Additionally, I ensure that while tutoring I bolster and reinforce the self-esteem of the student. Many times, the fact that a tutor is necessary may lead the student to the erroneous assumption that something is wrong with the student. My experience and teaching style is to celebrate every single student learning victory. My BA was earned at a small, independent, private college in Los Angeles. My major is in English, with a minor in Psychology and Sociology. I have a Master’s degree in Elementary Education, which was completed in 18 months.

I enjoy working with student of all ages, elementary students to college students. Each grade level is unique in their learning styles and abilities, so I cater to the specific student I am teaching. No two students are alike; so each student needs to be taught in a way that they themselves will learn. I find that self-motivated learning and discovery is the best way that any student will gain success; they key is finding that motivating factor and using it to help the student. As a college graduate, I understand the demands of school and what it takes to succeed at a high level. I have earned one bachelors degree in Biblical Studies and am now in graduate school to pursue further education. I am currently a teacher for the El Rancho Unified School District, which has allowed me to experience a wide range of students and understand how to teach students according to how each one learns.
