GED Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Anza, CA

When tutoring, I strive to make lessons engaging, effective and enjoyable. Specifically, I tailor lessons according to an individual student's needs and involve students in a dialogue by asking questions that provoke thought, conversation, and perhaps humor. Because facts and figures are easily looked up in the information age, I place particular emphasis on thinking and on "learning how to learn". My teaching goals for any student are threefold: 1. learn the material (well!) 2. pass the test/subject (with a comfortable margin!), and 3. enjoy it (most challenging with math!). I love learning and teaching alike. My first teaching experience was in high school when I helped teach inner city children how to swim. Following high school, I earned a bachelor's degree in genetics at UC Berkeley, during which time I worked as a teacher's assistant for a genetics professor. While in medical

I had worked with students from a variety of cultural backgrounds in alternative schools preparing them for the GEDs. I have also been part of the exam process. I am very aware of the necessity of adapting my teaching style to the learning modality of those I am working with. As an educator I evaluated students to define how they best process information. They may be auditory learners, visual learners or they may use a combination approaches. I am very patient and understand that everyone can learn. I believe in setting goals and evaluating progress to establish new goals when necessary. I have taught in Michigan and in California. I also have credentials as a school counselor and psychologist. I have experience with all aspects of the special education system from the K through grade 12 level. This incudes testing, placement and re-evaluation and the IEP process. I also have wor

I have taught all core subjects plus art history for over 20 years using various state mandated materials and supplementals I purchased through special ed catalogs. Student outcomes were best with the supplementals due to limited attention span and high interest-low level materials. I use various methods to determine mastery- I create my own written or verbal assessments, writing assignments and have students maintain learning journals. I have a background in educational psychology which is useful in dealing with students with behavioral issues. I work through positive behavior supports, humor and style to motivate the student to understand the need to learn the core subject matter in order to proceed through high school. I am excellent at reading the needs of the student and creating lessons that are relevant, interesting and fun.

I have worked with young people in educational settings for nearly 25 years and use that experience to guide, mentor and teach students so that they establish the academic foundation for learning and academic success. I have worked in the classroom as an elementary and middle school teacher as well as being a resource to high school students in preparing for high school exit exams and college entry standardized testing. I have also worked with special needs and ESL students who need added assistance to quickly acquire the knowledge and skills needed to keep pace with their peers. I am proficient in a broad range of subjects and am able to use standards based instruction so that the learning goals are appropriate and provide a structure for the students. I am very capable of engaging with children from kindergarten through high school in Math, Algebra, Geometry as well as English Language

All students can learn, but in different ways. I, for one, learn best by watching how something is done. I can read about it, or hear a lecture about it, but seeing it helps me understand the subject. This type of teaching would be done with movies, drawing or acting out the situation. In my teaching, I try to use all methods available to me to help the students learn and to use their creativity. I especially try to get students to work in groups and to share their work with each other. I find that pier groups provide the best help in understanding the subject matter. The classroom should be a learning place of activities and fun. I started substitute teaching in 1983 while I was working on my Master's Degree at California State University, Long Beach. I have been a substitute teacher in Long Beach, Santa Barbara, Glendale, and Palm Springs. I have had experience as a long term s

As a United States Peace Corps Volunteer, I worked with local youth in a Fijian village over the course of two years. I created a study groups based on education level and subject matter for the young adults living in the community. I focused lessons on English reading and comprehension, effective writing skills, algebra, calculus, and basic science. Working with youth from another culture and in a foriegn language forced me to gain strong interpersonal skills, innovative ways to tutor students, and the patience to work with students to achieve their academic goals. I worked with students from the age of eight to eighteen. Each age group provided its own set of challenges and opportunities to strengthen my experience as a tutor. I worked with children in small groups or one-on-one, based on the child's learning style. I encouraged the children to set their academic goals high and u

I am a recent graduate of California State University San Marcos. I earned a BS in Mathematics and graduated cum laude. During the last two years of my education I was tutoring at the Math Lab at Cal State San Marcos which led me to become certified as a Level 3 CRLA tutor. Also for the last two years, I had been working for a professor grading papers and helping out in the classroom. Since I have been working with a wide variety of students, I am now more aware of different learning skills and can accommodate more students. I love being able to share my knowledge, especially with students who are still in high school. I have learned how to explain math using pictures, words, examples, songs, and many other ways. All students are able to learn, but the process is different for each individual. Once I find out how a student learns best, I am able to create an environment where not

I am eclectic in my approaches towards teaching, ranging from Montessori and Classroom Without Walls, to Behaviorist and Cognitive approaches. I use what is observable, measurable, and works. I am always prepared to pull a rabbit out of my hat, and I always prepare additional alternative lesson plans in case an approach does not seem doable. I begin tutor sessions with interviews to assess goals. The ultimate goal is always for the tutee to become an independent learner. Tutoring is a profession which I have enjoyed for over nine years, often while teaching in the classroom or online, concurrently. I was able to teach multi-subjects to college students because I excelled in all subjects myself, receiving numerous scholarship awards and honors. I chose after school tutoring as my extra duty assignment while teaching middle school and high school. I enjoy tutoring students because I exper

For as long as I can remember I have desired to become a teacher. I didn't pursue it initially because I was lured to careers which netted a greater return on my investment, I thought. I later returned to school and continue education eagerly. I am very much able to connect to students with various backgrounds, abilities and challenges. I have developed a style that not only includes direct instruction but hands-on, inquiry based learning that fosters retention and is delivered in a positive, upbeat, fun environment. I love children and working with them comes very natural for me. I was born to teach and it is manifested by the two-way love and respect shown as well as the progress made by my students. Prior to teaching, I worked as a human resources professional and have learned all phases of human resources with a specialty for recruitment. I have taken the tenets of human reso

I have always had a deep passion for teaching others. Knowledge is power. It means a better job, a better understanding of the world we live in and it makes for better relationships. My desire is to empower people to help bring out the best in them. I am patient, understanding, and am able to teach students in a simplified way. Nothing is more rewarding than when my students eyes light up when they grasp deep concepts, especially when it is something they have struggled with for years. That is very rewarding to both student and teacher. I am proud to say that I was able to graduate "Summa Cum Laude" with a grade point average of 4.0 during my Masters and Doctorate college years and "Magna Cum Laude" during my bachelor year. I have gained a greater understanding of English,along with how to write essays, outlines, and how to do an extensive amount of research. Over the last 20 years, I ha
