As a British citizen, My experience allowed me to expand my linguistic and cultural appreciation of what it means to be in a completely different country than my own and the expectations placed on foreign residents.

Since I have worked with all different type of students who all have unique ways of learning, I can adapt my tutoring to best fit your needs.

I can help you with a variety of skills (test taking, reading comprehension, organization, information retention) in a variety of subjects (U.S. History, World History, Social Studies, English).

My teaching style is very goal-oriented, yet flexible enough to accomodate a variety of methods. Some students learn best from lectures, other learn from visuals while some are much better at hands-on instruction and correlations/representations. Each student has boundless potential; it is up to a knowledgeable educator to help that student unlock their potential and soar. I have had to opportunity to travel to many places in the world, and have found that no matter what the culture, children are so very similar in their thirst for knowledge. They just need a motivated and understanding educator who can relate to them on their level while encouraging them to "reach beyond their grasp!" For the past 18 years, I have held various instructor positions in both the Active and Reserve components of the Army, providing instruction in such areas as Anatomy & Physiology, Biology, Surgical Techn

I love one on one or small class sizes. Each child is so different in their own way and each have such a different learning style that I like to take it slow and be personal with each student. In my years of experience I have learned how to make learning fun. I love to include humor and everyday examples when I teach. Children are amazing and after all our future. As an Americorp participant during my early college years I learned of the many joys that teaching can give. I have a BS in general studies and very close to a BS in psychology, criminal justice, and English. I have taught at a college for 3 years, substituted for various school districts for 2, and I am currently finishing a full-time jr. High teaching position at Immanuel Christian School.

I have successfully acquired a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree with a concentration in Painting from Central Washington University. Last May in Seattle, I submitted and displayed my work at an art show. I am presently working on my next collection to show in the near future. Since beginning my life in Fine Arts, I have been Sharing my knowledge and learning from my friends and family, like the Impressionists who talked over coffee in Montmartre. My experience with teaching maybe informal, but it is real. Just recently, I have taken and passed the CBEST test and I am now working my way towards becoming a substitute teacher. Children are amazing artists due to the fact that they don't censor themselves creatively like most adults tend to do. I teach, instilling confidence through positivity and constructive criticism. I encourage children to experiment and discover their own style. I teach th

Too many students these days give up too easily when their studies get a little challenging. I want to be able to show students that it's the challenge in their studies that make their courses more worth while and memorable. I am approachable, social with all ages, and able to communicate well and accordingly to respective age groups. I encourage students to be honest with their troubles in academics. I believe in providing a comfortable and positive atmosphere for students to thrive and absorb. My style includes helping students find a joy in learning and furthering their academics post high school.

As a student in a Multiple Subject teaching credential program, I have developed my passion for teaching into the skills necessary for encouraging student success. As a part of my program, I spent 300 hours in a K/1st grade combination class. In the classroom, I had many responsibilities including: assisting the students with their work; teaching language arts, social science, science and math lessons; and working with small groups of students to improve reading skills. This year I also worked in an after-school program where I lead the kindergarten class where my duties included teaching conventional lessons in math, science, language arts, and science as well as incorporating song, games, and hands-on activities into lessons. I love teaching! Seeing a student’s eyes light up, as they first understand a new concept, is very rewarding. I am a very patient and easy-going, yet focused

I assess what their difficulty is. I may back track and ensure they understand the basic foundation of the principle they are learning, then move forward one step at a time, as they grasp each concept. Many times, they must understand step one, to complete step two, etc. I love to see people succeed. When a student finally understands a concept, it gives them, as well as me a feeling of great satisfaction. Currently, I own my own Health Insurance Agency in Tehachapi. I am an Administrative/Management Professional with 20 years experience. I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Health Care Administration with a GPA of 3.46. My 11-year old daughter is a straight A student because I worked with her at an early age with studies that were at least 1 - 2 years beyond her current year. I knew she had the intellectual capacity to learn these, and it has paid off for her every year of school. I wa

We are all given different strengths and weaknesses, different talents and challenges. I enjoy assessing these in each student as well as creating and executing an individualized plan of learning, guiding the student towards academic success. I love all children, am encouraging, patient, and thoughtful of each individual's needs. I consider a teacher's success synonymous with his/her student's success. I would be excited and privileged to help make a difference in your child's life. I have always had a love for helping others learn, inspired especially by my three younger siblings who had learning disabilities. This, as well as my experience in high school assisting a teacher of the blind, motivated me to obtain a Special and Elementary Education BA degree in college. I have experience teaching a diverse range of students in many different situations: the classroom, a special educa

My educational philosophy includes the belief that all students are able to learn, but they must be active participants in their own learning--they must be engaged. From my time as a reading tutor to struggling readers in middle school, I understand the importance of first assessing a student's abilities in basic literacy (phonemic awareness, letter sounds and blending, concepts of print, recall & comprehension, etc.). Obviously, my approach to readers with greater skills would be different and would include both formal and informal assessments of reading skill. It's my goal to produce strategic readers. I have a good deal of training and numerous resources to achieve this end. My experience teaching began at California State University, Northridge during my time as an undergraduate. During that period I worked as an outreach tutor through the university's Education Equity Program t

I believe there are many different styles of learning. It is my job to find out which styles your student uses to learn and implement teaching methods that cater to those styles. This creates an environment where your student will feel successful in his or her learning. I am all for whatever it takes to make your child the most successful and satisfied learning that he or she is destined to be. Along with this belief, my mannerisms are patient and understanding so that your child will not experience a negative environment in their learning process. I received a Bachelor of Arts degree in English with a minor in Physical Science from California State University, Fresno. I received my first teaching experience as a substitute teacher. I next worked as a long-term substitute teacher for a year. I was then offered a full-time, permanent teaching position as a fourth grade elementary school t

As an undergrad, I excelled in the arts, history and social science courses. However, I lacked interest in math (I didn't get it) and failed college algebra two times! My goal was to graduate college and I decided to seek help. I came across the tutoring center on campus and found a tutor that changed my perception about math! In brief, my tutor was out going, patient and tried various techniques to help me learn the material. I passed college algebra with an "A"! As your tutor I will strive to accommodate your learning style to assure you reach your academic goals. I am patient, flexible and fluent in both English and Spanish. My desire to teach stems from my hopeful view of youth. During the past seven years I have been successful in promoting access to higher education to youth of diverse backgrounds by organizing educational workshops and/or working directly on school campuses.
