Teacher Cert Exams Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Anza, CA

I am a credential-holding elementary school teacher with experience ranging from Kindergarten through 6th grade. Also, I have tutored children and adults in English language arts, from basic grammar to college composition writing. Further, I tutor other academic subjects: social studies, history, literature, general science, basic computer skills and creative writing. I hope that I can be of use to you! My approach is simple: assess the student's academic weaknesses, review the strengths, then teach the new material in order to bridge the content or skill. "Scaffolding" is the best means by which to teach so that the student understands the significance of the lesson. Too often, teachers play sage-on-stage, thereby neglecting to connect what the student already knows with the new material.

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 experience the moment of “Ah ha, now I get it!” with them. 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 a

My teaching style is adaptive, changing with the needs of the individual student. Since each student learns in a different manner, so have I learned to adapt my teaching to each individual student. Additionally, I ensure that while tutoring I bolster and reinforce the self-esteem of the student. Many times, the fact that a tutor is necessary may lead the student to the erroneous assumption that something is wrong with the student. My experience and teaching style is to celebrate every single student learning victory. My BA was earned at a small, independent, private college in Los Angeles. My major is in English, with a minor in Psychology and Sociology. I have a Master’s degree in Elementary Education, which was completed in 18 months.
