More About This Tutor...

I am a California State University, Los Angeles graduate, holding a BA in English, with a specific focus on clasroom teaching. Throughout high school and college, I was driven to assist my peers, using my knowledge to ensure that they understood the subject matter and would succeed in any academic endeavors. As a nanny, I have several years experience teaching small children to read. I am also well versed in theatre arts, dance, and world history.
I believe that an open dialogue is a teacher's most needed resource. Any child needs to feel as though he or she can express concerns or apprehensions without the fear of feeling embarrassed or stupid. I truly believe that there is no such thing as a stupid question. Teaching should, of course, relay necessary information, but it should also foster a student's drive to succeed, as well as the knowledge that any goal can be reached through ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy seeing children discover the world around them in their own ways. Therefore, I teach the importance of working things out until you understand it for yourself. Children will meet and often surpass any goal that is given to them if you show that you believe in them. I use a hands-on approach, as much as possible, with a problem-solving emphasis. I firmly believe that a child remembers things more if he is able to work it out for himself. As a result, I take more of a mentoring position the older the child is. It was in this way that my daughter received both an AA and an AS degree the night she received her high school diploma.
I began teaching at Hesperia Christian in 1995. First, I substituted and then taught part-time, two to four subjects a year: Advanced Math and Drama, 5 years; Biology, 1 year; and Advanced Drama, 3 years. When my son started seventh grade, I b ... read more

My college studies have been in a variety of fields with the most concentration in the arts and social sciences. At the University Center for Developmental Disabilities I have gained one-on-one experience with children with autism and have learned and employed several techniques used in the Operant Conditioning model. As a Teacher Assistant, I have the responsibilities of setting goals, creating objectives for weekly sessions, and tracking and recording weekly progress. Such goals include, increasing expressive communication, decreasing specific inappropriate behaviors unique to each child, and improving academic skills such as reading, mathematics, and problem solving.
Through out my work with children diagnosed with autism I have learned and implemented B.F. Skinner's Operent Conditioning model. Although punishment is in the model, my specific teaching style only includes rein ... read more

I am a compassionate teacher who promotes an encouraging learning environment so that my client will excel in the subject matter. Not only do I address the weaknesses that the student has in the specific subject, but I provide useful study skills and self-help practices that will enable the student to excel outside of the tutoring environment. All of my students begin to enjoy the learning material and in turn make great progress in their academic work.
During my undergradaute education, I began tutoring children aged grade K-12 in math, science and reading. My biology undergraduate degree has provided me with extensive skills in Physics, Chemistry, Math, biology, as well as all basic science material. I have also earned my Master's in Public Health which solidified my writing skills in the process of writing research papers and essays in a broad array of topics. I have tutored stu ... read more

My first student teaching experience was in a preschool. The classroom was very play based and not very structured. I learned how to communicate with the students while they were playing and was able to help them learn through scaffolding I learned how to model positive behaviors to the children and stay away from the negative. I student taught in a preschool classroom. This classroom was inclusive and included many different kinds of learners. There were ten gifted children, two children with autism, one child with epilepsy, and the rest who were at benchmark. This was a great experience because I was placed with such an incredible seasoned mentor teacher. She taught me that being calm kept the children calm. I learned exactly how to plan, attended meetings, and really got a feel for the teaching profession. The lessons that I planned had to suit many different learning styles, so many ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a very one on one type of person. I want to make sure the child understands on their level of thinking, which might mean using what they use on a daily basis to explain clearer. Depending on the age of the child and what subject that needs to be taught will depend on which way I will attack the situation.
Over the past 4 years, I've worked at the Colton Community services recreatioon depatrment. As an employee I've worked in Drop-In Recreation, in which I provide my assistance in helping the children do homework and tutor them as they needed. fot the past year and a half, we've started a new program called Homework help, which is to focus more on helping the students one on one with homwwork, reading, math, projects, etc. I am currently working on getting my AA in Child Devolpment to continue my drive to become a teacher.

Working with children is such a joy! I really enjoy being able to observe the moment the "lightbulb" comes on. During the past three years, I have had the privilege of working as a substitute teacher in two different school districts, and have instructed students ranging in level from kindergarten to high-school. My teaching style is a blend of positive praise, firmness and creativity. Whether working one-on one or with a group, I do my best to always present the material using logical, fun and varied methods to ensure my students' understanding. My hope is that they, like myself, will continue on as life-long learners, able to impart their precious knowledge with others.
In reality, I have been tutoring almost since I could read or write. The first tutoring job I held was in elementary school. After graduating from elementary school, I did my first two years of secondary ed ... read more

I have a BA in History and am pursuing a teaching credential in elementary education. I work as a instructional aide to an autistic boy in a mainstream first grade classroom. In addition to assisting him in all his classwork I also help all the other students in all elementary subjects. We do language arts, reading, math, science, and social studies lessons everyday and I am very comfortable helping children understand all of these subjects.
I love working with elementary children and seeing their faces light up when they grasp a new concept. I am patient and understanding of each individual's learning pace and enjoy an interactive approach to learning. I have had the great opportunity to work with a special needs child as well as mainstream students which has given me the skills to be able cater to the needs of both.

Since my oldest son began his first year of schooling, I became very interested in helping him as well as other students, reach their maximum capability. I volunteered at his elementary school for several years, tutoring students in all subjects from Kindergarten through sixth grade. I continued my education during this time and completed an Associates Degree in Child Development and a Bachelor Degree in Human Development. I also took two positions in the school district as an instructional aide and an afterschool tutor. Since then I have been a substitute teacher with 11 years of experience in multiple subjects for students in regular and mainstreamed classrooms as well as those with special needs, including severely handicap.
Since I have experince in many areas of education, especially in Resource Special Program, I understand how each child has different and learning styles as ... read more
