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 perse

I have completed my AA degree in Fashion Design & Merchandising along with producing live shows in Los Angeles for the nightlife. I have also begun creative writing in the film industry and highly enjoy it. The past six months of tutoring with ABC Phonetic Reading School has opened my eyes in revealing how much I love tutoring. English,Vocabulary, and Reading Comprehension have always been a strong area for me. Before introducing my teaching style with the student, I first make a detailed observation on where they are at in the subject. I review their stong points and weaknesses. For Intance, If they have pronounciation issues or trouble understanding vocabulary, I will focus my attention to that before moving on to any new or next step. I like to review w

In addition, I volunteered my time as a science teacher to private schools servicing grades pre-K thru 8.

My teaching is to use Socratic method by asking questions. I let the students brain-storm and bring into consideration a variety of solutions to one problem.

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 reinforcement using encouragement and praise to help your child reach his/her optimal potential. Working with children diagnosed with autism, I have learned patience and the ability to adapt each session as the student goes through their individual learning process. My work has prepared me for all possible challenges with a range of students who fall along the continuum of learning abilities. 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

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.

My first two years of college I was a math major. I took classes through Calculus III until I decided to pursue my dance minor as a major. Math and dance have always been my two greatest interests. Math has always been my strongest subject in school, it just made sense to me. My favorite has always been Algebra. In high school I would tutor my friends at the dance studio in Algebra and was paid to tutor a freshman girl at her house after school. In college, I actually tutored a 40-year-old woman who needed help passing her algebra class in order to finish her college degree. I tutored her weekly for at least a year. Still to this day I enjoy helping my students with math at the high school I now teach P.E./Dance full-time. I have always enjoyed teaching others especially when it came to math. I naturally and enthusiastically interact with people. I believe all people can unders

Learning to teach at age sixteen taught allowed me to develop my teaching style into a mature and planned method. I have taught dance classes, summer camps, and tutoring sessions. The diversity of the teaching subjects gave me insight into how students learn various material and how, for an individual group or student, a teaching style must be molded. I am an astute tutor who listens to the needs of her students and can be both patient and encouraging, varying my style in response to the needs of those I am with. Paying such close attention to my students responses I have guided many students on the path to success through the means they deemed for me to work for them. Pursuing a competitive major at a prestigious research institution required dedication, responsibility and excellence. These developed attributes lead me to graduate with a BS with honors and distinction in the major

I am a huge advocate for the theory of multiple intelligences. I believe every child is capable, its just a matter of figuring out how they process information. Academic success is just one measure of growth, but whole learning is what I consider true success and I believe when the whole child is taught that academic success will invariably follow. I am Queen Patience and Queen enthusiasm. It's almost impossible not to get excited and energized when I'm around and involved. Most importantly, I teach people more than a subject, I teach them how to learn, and that is what a lifetime of success needs. Having been reading since I was two it was a natural progression of events that, despite my dyslexia, I completed my BA in English Literature and thereby am intimately acquainted with all of the generas, nuances, and demands that true literacy requires.

Through out my undergraduate career I have held various teaching positions. However the most challenging and rewarding was being a teachers assistant for a college level molecular biology course where I was responsible for holding sections and office hours. I also volunteered last summer as a science teacher in Nairobi, Kenya where I taught grades K-12. During my first two years of college I worked Sep-June as a teacher’s assistant at Pala Rancho Preschool where I was responsible for planning lessons and conducting individual tutoring sessions. In the summers I coached swimming and taught lessons for ages 2-15. I believe it takes more than a single individual to make a difference in the lives of a class of students. Therefore, I have learned the value of being a team player and the importance of communicating with colleagues, parents, and administrators so that I will be able to provi
