Spanish Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Alta, CA

I am currently teaching English as a second language to post-secondary international students at California State University Sacramento. I teach all areas of English, including grammar, composition, reading, and listening and speaking skills. I have taught beginning English to refugees in Sacramento, as well as English as a foreign language in Guatemala and Honduras. I have taught both adults and children and love both populations of learners. I am also currently tutoring three Chinese girls with various proficiencies in English. I have worked with students from various language backgrounds including but not exclusive to Arabic, Spanish, Vietnamese, Chinese, Farsi, Korean, African dialects and others. My background in learning a second language myself guides me in understanding the difficulties of learning a second language. My style is a learner centered one. I believe in guided learnin

I have completed 5 years worth of high school level Spanish (through AP) Though I am only comfortable tutoring levels I, II and III This really depends on the subject, however, I like to do drills to keep basic skills sharp, and to learn new skills. Each student is different, and will need slightly adjusted methodology. I'm also very open to suggestion. I am a few years out of high school, and I've taken several college classes. My AP knowledge spans almost every subject. I can help with almost all high school level classes and below. The various sciences are probably my best subjects, however my knowledge of Biology is fairly limited. I have tutored a few High School Freshman before in a program called "Senior Mentoring" I have also helped out a few family friends to get the grade to graduate.

The student and I will use methods to make Spanish easier to remember. I am a 16 year old high school student taking my third year of Spanish, Psychology/Sociology, English, U.S History, Chemistry, and Math Reasoning. School wasn't one of my favorite places to go especially when I wasn't doing so hot in some of my classes. But then I found fun and easy ways to study. It turned out that I actually enjoyed going to school afterwards and making it a goal to get good grades. That is my goal with potential students. I want them to enjoy studying for school. Yes it may be a lot of work but the student can make it easier by using flashcards or writing down the problem until it sticks into their, whatever helps them. I want to help them to see how easy school can actually be for them. At first studying may be frustrating but the more the student and I practice, the more fun and less stressful t

I believe in explaining the concepts first and them allow the student to do the work themselves. I am open and friendly and clients enjoy being in the teaching environment. I practice patience and believe in giving a lot of positive reinforcement. The learning experience should be enjoyable and productive and the student should leave feeling they have actually learned new skills! I have owned and operating my own bookkeeping/accounting/business management service for over thirty years. I have taught others how to use QuickBooks, set up filing systems, enter data base information and organize their finances. I have supported a variety of businesses and organizations including several non-profits. I have taught others about AP, AR, Payroll, Taxes, and other financial information.

I like to break every concept and principle down into its most basic components. An artist breaks down a drawing into its basic shapes, and is able to create what may at first seem like a complex object to draw. Explaining mathematical principles is almost as difficult as learning them, but it doesn’t have to be that way. Teaching in groups and teaching individually both have their advantages and disadvantages. Teaching one-on-one allows the student to have individual attention, while teaching in groups allows more flexibility and allows students to learn concepts from each other. I consider myself able to do both, but one-on-one often works best. I am a chemical engineer and I currently work for a biofuels plant. I consider myself as having a good way of presenting the science behind biodiesel to the other employees who do not have a scientific background. As such, I often hav

As a Summa Cum Laude graduate, I have always valued academics and education. I began to share my drive for excellence through tutoring in high school. I tutored elementary school students in all subjects and college students in Statistics. During college, I tutored in Spanish, as my area of expertise. I have extensive knowledge of the Spanish language and dialects throughout Latin America and Spain through my studies, volunteer work, and travels in Latin America and Europe. I have experience working with students of all ages and I thoroughly enjoy the challenge each person brings. I treat each student according to his/her needs and I look for the most effective ways he/she learns. I ask the student questions that lead to his/her discovery of the process, steps and answer to the problem. With this method the student has the satisfaction of resolving the problem, encourages him/her to cont

I have worked with children of all ages in different environments and capacities for the past 20 years. It all started at the YMCA Afterschool and Summer Programs which gave me my first satisfactory feeling for being around young people. That led to substitute teaching and to 6 years in the classroom with 6th graders. For 1 year I taught English as a Foreign Language in Slovenia and Germany. Finally, I yearned for more one on one experience which resulted in being a Independent Study teacher for the past 5 years. I believe my variety of experiences as an educator has prepared me well to help a wide range of students. With my background and degree being in music, I have enjoyed finding creative ways to induce wonder and enthusiasm for learning in my students. I have always accomplished this with the utmost patience, consideration and respect. This last quality in my style (respect of my s

I love working with all children. I enjoy teaching so much that I do that as a volunteer, in order to spend time in the learning environment.

I have been tutoring for almost 12 years at the local community where I am also a Sunday school teacher. I have tutored in Math, Science, Literature and English.

After achieving a B.S. in Business Administration with an accounting concentration in 2006, I worked as a Senior Associate for a public accounting firm in Sacramento. I worked in teams supervising and training staff right out of college for several years. However, my true passion is teaching, leading me to a career change. My tutoring experience in high school, coaching experience in college, and recent camp counseling experience this past summer has provided me with many exciting and valuable teaching moments that motivated this change! I was born to teach! I am currently working toward achieving a Teaching Credential in Mathematics from CSU Sacramento. Ever since I was young, I have been aware of sincerity in people, whether teacher or other adult. I found myself trusting and respecting those that treated me as a person with an individual mind rather than a senseless child. I w

I graduated from the University of California, Irvine with a bachelors in Sociology and several courses in Early Childhood Education/Development. My major required extensive writing and research projects, so I am very experienced with the writing process. I have almost three years experience in a licensed day care at an elementary school where I was in charge of creating and implemented lesson plans, so I am used to using creative approaches to learning. I was also in charge of :homework club" where my main duty was to assist with homework and help students get past their mental blocks with multiple approaches. I also received a passing score on the CBEST. I have always liked working with children, and I have found that it is necessary to tailor different approaches to different children. It is also necessary to have more than one approach or technique, because many kids have diffe

I have tutored students from elementary to college level for over eight years in Math, chemistry, Spanish, and physics. My degree in physics exposed me to high level mathematics were I had to be successfully in order to continue with my physics degree, I have tutored from simple arithmetic to linear algebra. I have also tutored Spanish for over five years to students and professionals. For me tutoring is an opportunity to help students succeed and the best way to do that is adjusting to each student needs, we all learn in different ways and when tutoring a subject like math being flexible and creative is key to the students understanding. I’m creative when presenting difficult material and always find a way for students to understand the material, I can explain the same idea in many different ways to insure real understanding and retention.Via examples, practice and dedication I believe
