As a Liberal Studies major pursuing a multi-subject credential, I seek jobs where I can apply the skills I have learned and furthermore, gain experience that will help me as a future teacher. I have a number of experiences working with children and their parents. At Cal Poly and CSUB, I have had the opportunity to work directly with students in various elementary schools and activities.

My dedication and organization help me perform to the best of my ability and lead students to success. I find it of the utmost importance to create a safe and effective learning environment.

More About This Tutor...

I first discovered my love for teaching in high school. I excelled in many areas and helped my fellow students learn. As I furthered my education, my passion for teaching grew and my style changed. I have molded my favorite, and most effective, professor's techniques into my own hybrid. I use humor and compassion to develop the student's understanding. I try to teach to the student and not at them. I teach study habits that will help them learn more effectively on their own.
I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Chemisty with a minor in statistics. As an undergraduate, I tutored middle-schoolers in science and math as a volunteer at a local school. I was recently a substitute teacher, teaching all ages and in areas such as the biological sciences, algebra, calculus and psychology. I currently tutor a college student in mathemtics.

Learning styles vary depending on learners' needs and interests.Through the years,I have always matched my teaching styles with students' learning styles.I have constantly used a variety of strategies while teaching groups,and have consistently assessed their educational needs prior to using any teaching or tutoring strategy.

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe education is the most valuable gift we can pass on to our most valuable resources, which is the youth. I would like to be a factor in providing the best quality of education for our youth by using evaluation skills to determine what type of learner each student is. I am a strong believer in visual aid and learning through visual demonstration and providing clear, detailed examples. I also like to create an environment to practice positive reenforcement which will give students positive motivation to learn and increase the passion for learning. Also, by being a mentor to students who may be having difficulties, I believe communication between a student and a tutor will be greatly improved and thus providing clearer understanding.
As a design student, and throughout my life, I have held the ability to grasp new concepts in multiple subjects with very little difficulty. I ha ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

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 t ... read more

My dominant teaching style is connecting with students on a personal level. During my time as a mentor at Marina Del Rey, I enjoyed developing a relationship with my mentee inside and outside of the classroom, and I truly believe this helped him excel. I like to take a firm, but fun approach to tutoring, and I always challenge my students to try their hardest to complete a problem and not automatically defer to receiving help from the tutor. Patience and student empowerment are vital aspects of successful tutoring.
Through my education at UCLA, I developed a solid foundation in math and science, while completing my BS in Bioengineering. Additionally, I have well developed communication and grammar skills for an engineer due to several extracurricular activities, which required me to write time-sensitive documentation and reports. My tutoring experience comes from 2 years of vo ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

After graduating from Vanguard University of Southern California with my BA in English, I decided to enroll in the Education Program to receive my Single Subject English Teaching Credential. Teaching has always been a passion of mine. I started tutoring students in subjects such as Math, English, Science, History, and Spanish, when I was merely a Junior in High School. I began tutoring K-8 at a local private elementary school. I then became employed at my high school as a tutor. At my high school, I was given the opportunity to work with grades 9-12. I worked in an after school program for three years where I was able to plan lessons and help students with their homework. I have recently student taught at Costa Mesa High School as a 9th Grade Honors English teacher and a 12th Grade Regular English teacher.

A Little Bit About Me...

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 tha ... read more

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 child will take his or her own educational path. As a tutor, I will use various approaches — visual, written, games, memorization, etc. — until I discover what works best for your child. Ultimately, what's most important is that your child learns the material and feels confident in his or her understanding of it.
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 Eng ... read more
