I have taken all the sign language courses at Modesto Junior College (these classes are of the same curriculum as Stanislaus State). I received an "A" on all of my coursework. I then was asked by the sign language instructor at MJC to become her teaching assistant. I was in charge of teaching on my own when the instructor was called away to business. I instructed the students under the direction of the instructor. I tutored the students in the tutoring center at MJC. I believe that it is best for the student to let me know what needs they have in order for me to help them become more fluent in sign language. Once we have accessed your skills, then we can move on to improve them. I can go through vocabulary with the student. I can give the students signed as well as written tests. I am also willing to accompany the student to deaf socials where they can practice their sign langu

Because of the new state law, the Mentee's goal was to become certified to continue with employment. 10 out of the 13 Mentee's succeeded in compliance with the state law.

I am currently working for Kaplan K-12 in their CAHSEE Prep program both as a teacher and site coordinator. I believe that students can reach their potential if they are given the tools that they need. My job is to be the toolbox for them.

I use an easy manner in my tutoring and use my sense of humor to build rapport with children. I strive to make learning fun and interactive. I do not just hand out worksheets and require reading. I am a hands on tutor. I also help children understand the concepts behind the learning, rather than rote memorization of material. I know that all children learn differently and I adjust my teaching methods to suit the child's style of learning. I have extensive experience as a tutor. I have been tutoring for 10 years. I tutored learning disabled children as well as struggling children in a variety of subjects. I also worked in an after school program for elementary school children helping them with homework and projects. I have a BA degree in psychology and have my Master Teacher Permit in early childhood education. I also am in the process of obtaining my 30 day Substitute Teacher Credential

Throughout my life, I have always felt very strong about achieving a high level of education. As a older sibling to a child that had a learning disability, I felt it was my responsiblity to help him achieve a high school diploma. From the age of six years old to his senior year in high school, I tutored my brother in all subjects, from math and english to electives. From this experience, I was able to help other children improve their level of education as well. I enjoy teaching and helping all children. I am a strong believer that all children can be taught all subjects, and should be given the opportunity to do just that. I am always willing to teach the child, in the best way that will help them, whether this be through explanation, or through a hands on approach. Children are our future, and should be given the opportunities to learn.

I taught for twenty five years at the middle school level mostly in a self contained sixth grade classroom. In addition to teaching reading, English, math, science,and social studies, I taught electives is video filming and remedial reading. In my experience as a teacher, I discovered that all students can learn if they are properly motivated. I found that I could best motivate a student if I found what they were interested in, and what grade level they were working at. I also worked for five years as a substitute teacher. I believe in individualized teaching. In my sixth grade classroom, I individualized instruction wherever possible. In reading I tested my students and placed them in books at their reading level. I had them write reading summaries and corrected their first drafts. In sixth weeks, I retested and in most instances moved students to a higher level. In my math cla

I enjoy working with all children. Given the right opportunity, I believe all children can learn. My goal is to help your child find his/her strength and build on his/her confidence to learn. I strive in finding unique ways to engage children and make learning fun. I have earned a bachelor degree in Communicative Disorders with emphasis in Speech & Language Pathology, Audiology, and Deaf Education. With this background I have an understanding of various modes of learning. I have learned unique ways to teach grammar and vocabulary important for reading and writing. During my course of study I have learned to write goal focused lesson plans, and have had the opportunity to use them. For the last 2 years I have had experience working with children through substitute teaching.

I teach like I learn by hands-on, listening, reading, writing, and practicing what I have learned. I like to tap into prior knowledge of my students through informal and formal assessments, talking to their parents, and talking to them about what they think they are capable of or would like to improve about themselves. I praise students for their specific accomplishments and never make them feel bad when they are unable to do something they think they should be able to do better. I relate to people who struggle in math because I was one of those students. I have a lot of empathy and patience and that comes through in my teaching style. I attended the University of the Pacific when I was 35 years young and my goal was to graduate with a degree before the age of 40 which is what I did. Since that time, I have worked at the Lodi Unified School District as a substitute teacher, both long-ter

My teaching style is very unique. I start off by just getting to know the student and having them get to know and trust me. I then build on that trust factor while helping the students with their homework. I connect well with students and they trust me. In the end, it seems to be the best way the students I work with learn and finish their work. Learning should be fun and not boring. It should be interactive and not just book work. If a student can experience learning first hand, they're bound to acquire enough knowledge to help them succeed. I am a Fresno State graduate with my BA Degree in Liberal Studies. I'm currently in the Multiple-Subject Credential Program. I have two years experience tutoring by working for the Madera Adult School CBET Program. I tutor all grades and all subjects. I also have tutored for a semester during my Junior year of high school. I am very well rounded in
