Entrance Exams Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Avalon, CA

Besides being a baby sitter for more than a decade (born to a big family with 3 younger siblings), I've tutored children of families in the Inglewood/LA area for more than a year. I also held several tutoring sessions and study groups in for classmates in engineering physic and mathematics. Overall, I have a great grip of aiding students in grasping the topics in a useful and practical manner. I prefer to give the student room to develop his/her style by addressing topic/subject in a manner that connects with student most effectively.

I'm very passionate to help kids to be successful in school as well as in life. I've had 6 years of working as Student Aides in all levels of K-12; Math, English, Writing, and Arts, 5 years working as Teacher for Career Colleges: Websters, Phillip Jr., and University of Phoenix; Math, Computer Software Applications, Writing, Professional development, Accounting,Statistic, Student coaching,and Piano. I'm a big believer of motivation and encouragement. Once the kids are motivated when they feel the bonding, learning success will be achieved in a faster speed. I'd like to talk to the children every day to find out how their days went and their concerns and challenges especially if they feel they're capable of handling of the situation and their ways of doing such.

I have been in the education industry for three years with experience in High School General Education and Special Education. Most recently, I have worked with recent High School graduates. This opportunity allowed me to help individual students map the rest of their lives. I enjoy motivating students to take pride in their education. There is nothing more satisfying than helping a student understand their work and being proud of their achievements. Though, secondary education is essential in a person’s life, my long term goal is to become an English professor. My education at UCI focused around twentieth century philosophical and literary theories and works. I found my career path through my education at University of California, Irvine and I wish to help students find what they want in life through education, too. I have a history of helping students with the biggest challenges.

I know my subject - math. I have completed the subject matter requirement-math and all the educational courses required by the single subject credential program in California State University, Los Angeles. For the past ten years, I have helped students their math homework and prepared their tests. My extensive experience in teaching and tutoring math includes all levels from arithmetic to calculus. My philosophy of education is that to be a good teacher, the teacher must be flexible and persistent. A good teacher must have a "feel" for doing the right thing at the right time. It means knowing when to present a lesson and when to let students discover things for themselves. Also, when a lesson falls flat, a good teacher thinks of another presentation that recaptures the students' interest. In Addition, teachers must sometimes cope with interruptions and other difficulties. It is i

Since graduating with a bachelors degree in mathematics, I have done a lot of work in the tutoring field. I have worked for two years for Sylvan Learning Center, working in an array of fields, including all areas of mathematics, English, SAT prep, and study skills. I have also worked for Islip Tutoring Services for a year, working with No Child Left Behind to help underprivileged students get extra help in the areas of math, English, and science. I have also done private tutoring for the last three years, in all areas of mathematics. I thoroughly enjoy teaching, especially in a tutoring setting. Being able to work with a student in an environment where I can give them all of my attention really allows me to make a huge impact on them. I believe that in order for a student to learn, the student must gain confidence that he or she CAN learn. I am a very kind and helpful person, and i

My primary goal is always student empowerment. Students who can solve problems by themselves will be able to learn just about anything. For example, a student who doesn’t know a noun from a verb won’t be able to correct run-on sentences or fragments. Introduce students to the mechanics, define tools, show them models, then put the hammer and nails in their hands, and watch them build. Lessons have to be customized to accommodate the students’ varied learning styles and levels of knowledge. Because most students have been shaped by media, a variety of approaches and stimuli is needed. A sure recipe for failure is lecturing or throwing material at a student without preparation. That means good teaching, just like learning, involves LISTENING. Tutoring also means immediate reinforcement that builds confidence. If a student voices interest in attempting a poem, collage, or story, it r

I have made my living as a professional writer for 40 years. Everything from TV commercials to “Knight-Rider”. I am a Member of the Writers Guild. In 1998, I was an advertising agency Creative Director asked by the University of Nevada Las Vegas to teach Introduction to Advertising. I fell overwhelmingly in love with the act and internal rewards of teaching. I created a new 400-level Copywriting course which I developed into a dynamic tool to find the heart of ANY communication—by applying the principles I had learned at New York’s Doyle Dane Bernbach Advertising. They revolutionized the language with a single brilliant mandate--add Human Truth to Empirical Truth. I found their epiphany worked for all writing. My course, my passion, and my students’ progress flowed from my ability to direct their work to finding that elusive Human Truth. 10 years. 20 straight semesters. Hundreds of stude

I try to use something that the student can relate to. I try to start with the basics and work up to find out where the student might be needing help. I am patient and enjoy knowing that I can help someone excel. Education has always been important to me and I look forward to encouraging that same attitude in others. I would like to give back to the community and I truly get enjoyment from helping others. I have worked at the Santa Ana School District for eight years. I have supervised our tutoring department and also tutored students during those eight years. Prior to working at Santa Ana School District, I volunteered and tutored students in Algebra. I am currently enrolled in college to complete my Bachelor's degree. I feel that my education is an asset and will be complimentary to any tutoring program.

I believe in young people discovering their own skills through the direction of positive adult relationships. My teaching style depends on each individual student's personality. Positive reinforcement, direct communication, and firm expectations are tools I use with all of my students that have resulted in great success. I build positive relationships with my students and am a great influence to those I work with. As a Berkeley graduate, I strongly believe in the importance of higher learning and personal dedication. I have a BA in Ethnic Studies and MS in Public Administration. For the past 10 years, I have worked with youth based organizations which focus on getting young people to make positive choices in their lives. I have experience tutoring, mentoring, and educating youth of all ages, particularly high school. I excel in teaching foreign languages (Spanish and Italian), Engl

I love working one-on-one with students because I am able to change my teaching style based on the students needs. While teaching at Azusa Adult School, I was able to work one-on-one with many of the students before and after class. Many students learn at different rates -- it is a sign of a good instructor when they are able to recognize this and be able to conform to the students needs. I taught at Azusa Adult School from 2007 through 2009. I taught basic math proficiency to students preparing to take any one of the Nursing School and Allied Health Entrance Exams, GED Exam, or High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE). I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering. I have been working as a Construction Project Manager since 1990. Six years ago I decided to go back to school (nights and weekends) to obtain a Teaching Credential to pursue my first love - which is teaching. I still currently

My methods are constructive and encouraging. I start from the beginning, then progress one step at a time, eventually arriving at the finished product. A strong subject foundation will give the student more confidence and better skills to handle the harder classes they will encounter down the road., if they are currently in the harder classes, reviewing the beginning steps before conquering the latter ones would allow the student to make a smooth transition between concepts. I explain the concepts of the material in detail, work through several examples with the student, then allow them to work through it on their own while answering any questions they may have along the way.

During the past 10 years, I have tutored students from all ages and all levels. Every student has a different way of learning, however, they all can learn. It is my responsibility to make sure the information is delivered to the student the way they understand it. I believe communication is the key to success. I consider the student's success in their acadmics as my success in tutoring. With the number of students growing in the classrooms, teachers can’t give every student the attention they need. That is why some students are left behind. I can bridge the learning gap. My long experience tutoring has increased my ability to identify the students learning needs. No matter how difficult a student is to teach, I have the ability to communicate the love and passion that I have for learning. I am understanding and affirming, humble, patient, encouraging and trustworthy. Although I a
