Success isn't give, it's earned. You can Succeed!

I utilize a variety of instructional techniques to help each diverse learner succeed and excel. I believe the most imperative part of teaching is to facilitate a positive rapport with my students and have clear structure for them to work with.
I have taught Social Studies and Language Arts at the middle school and high school levels in Missouri for three years. I have worked with students that are considered at-risk, ELD, and students with special needs (including Autism, remedial studies, learning disabilities, and emotional disturbance disorders). I hold current and valid teaching credentials in both California and Missouri. I am in the last eight months of my Masters Degree at National University for teaching students with special needs. I also hold a Masters in Education in Best Teaching Practices, and Bachelors of Science in Social Studies Education.

Results-driven tutor seeking to share my love of knowledge!

Laid-back, non-aggressive, and fun when possible, but with an emphasis on focus and attention to detail.
I graduated high school with a full International Baccalaureate Program Diploma, and a 4.53 weighted GPA. I then went on to receive a full ride scholarship to Santa Clara University for Computer Engineering, where I took part in the University's Honors Program. There I completed 3 years of study in computer science, classical languages, and Spanish, before deciding to change directions and gain real-world experience. After a brief leave of absence, I entered Licensing Education Courses for the field of Insurance, passed the License Exam, and went to work as the Vice President of Marketing for Financial and Insurance Services, an independent insurance brokerage in Fresno, CA. Feeling the urge to once again to change directions, I am taking took time to pursue my passion for poe ... read more

My comments on tutoring Poetry : Writer and Reader of Poetry

I am a hard worker and expect a similar attitude from the students I tutor. I tend to work out the problem for the student on one problem and then I watch as they go through a similar one to ensure they have understood. This repetative practice has proven efficient. I also tend to make the student practice more than the required assignments needed to be accomplished to ensure a firm grasp of the material.
I am an Honors Graduate from California State University Stanislaus and I am knowledgeable on many subjects. I have had former experience in tutoring and I am more than willing to work with students of any age. I am proficient in English, Social Science, Study Skills, and many other areas. As an avid reader and excellent writer I am able to work with students on their writing skills at any level.

More About This Tutor...

Graduated with honors from Modesto Junior College with an Associates in Music. Four semesters of Piano at the college, five semesters of Voice, four semesters of Music Theory and ear training, four semesters of choir, and two semesters of Electronic Music. As a student I have a firm grasp on music fundamentals and the basics of music theory as well as some voice and piano pedagogy. Aside from my experience within the field of my degree, I've always received very high grades in math and english classes. English and composition (essays, poetry, etc) are my true strengths; however, math also comes very easily to me. I have tutored in both math and english before and have some experience teaching music. I also work as a gymnastics coach and have three years of experience in teaching my own classes.
I feel like I'm very much a hands-on type of instructor. I really believe that the best ... read more

My approach to teaching begins with having a high expectation for what my students can accomplish. Therefore, my goal is, in part, to help my students love learning and to translate the love for learning into higher achievements. I try to inspire the students In terms of style, I explain the basic concept being taught and then illustrate by way of examples. I combine a bit of lecturing with meaningful interaction. Next, it is the students term to practice what has been taught. I may use a variety of interactive learning games in order to re-enforce the concept being taught. Somewhere down the line some for of testing is given for the purpose of checking to see if the student is grasping the concepts being taught.

More About This Tutor...

As a graduate of the University of California, Merced, I was driven to achieve a high level of excellence in education. My studies include an emphasis in geography, public policy, literature, and history. Through my college experience, I have learned extensive study and grammatical skills due to writing research papers and field reports. While attending Modesto Junior College, I tutored k-6 students in reading. I have continued tutoring k-12 students in reading, language arts and mathematics, up to pre-algebra, for the past two years.
I love my job as a tutor and helping children learn. I believe that each child is unique in the way they learn. I find that the one-on-one tutoring method helps each child grow to their full potential. Through this one-on-one setting I am able to devote my full attention to the child. This process allows me to evaluate the unique learning styl ... read more

More About This Tutor...

During my time at Cal State Stanislaus, where I earned my bachelor's degree in English, I was selected to tutor other students because of my mastery of grammar and writing. I spent two years working for the University's Writing Center. I tutored ESL students and Freshmen on how best to improve their essay writing skills in either one-on-one or group sessions. I've tutored grammar, MLA and APA formatting, reading, writing, philosophy, and test-taking skills. I also received a significant amount of training that culminated in my receiving the highest certification in tutoring that the College Reading and Learning Assocation offers.
I have always been passionate about language and thinking critically and I take great joy in discussing and sharing with others. From a tutoring perspective this means I am always energetic and optimistic because I enjoy the work. I am competent in my subj ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Having graduated recently from University of the Pacific, I am looking for a position that utilizes my education as well as my four years of experience as a tutor. I have worked with college level students in basic writing and composition, in groups of up to six or one-on-one. I have also tutored Psychology and Art History.
I believe patience is of the utmost importance for a tutor, as well as humility. The student must not feel judged or put down if his or her work is constructively criticized. I strive to build a rapport with my students, as trust is important. I have been trained in being sensitive to different learning styles, and I am convinced that anyone can be taught any subject, as long as both work hard.

More About This Tutor...

I absolutely love anything English--Literature, writing, reading, and yes, even grammar--but more importantly, I love working with children, teens, and adults to help them achieve a better understanding of the English discipline. I truly believe that there is something valuable to learn about the human connection that occurs during reading and writing. Therefore, I believe in using different types of learning styles (visual, auditory, and kinesthetic) in order to aid my students in a better understanding of English and finding that connection.
I recently graduated Summa Cum Laude with a Bachelor's in English, and I am currently working on obtaining my Master's degree in English. Although my focus is in Literature, I have a vast knowledge of writing and composition, creative writing, and English grammar. During my undergraduate studies, I was a member of the Provost Honors program. ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

In my 12 years of teaching experience I provided instruction at different levels from secondary class to college students. I taught English Literature and Language at undergraduate level as well. Teaching Chinese and Saudi students gave me extensive multi-cultural experience. During the last ten years I have tutored students in English literature, writing, history, and the arts.
I believe that every child is different from the other in learning style and capacity. As a teacher I think it is really important to give suitable and desired space to student to flourish, and students must be provided with appropriate surrounding to learn and discover their hidden potential. I firmly believe in eclectic approach to teaching as one method cannot suit all teaching situations. As an English teacher, I understand the importance of teaching strategies like lead time, group work, peer review, a ... read more
