Sign Language is one of my top subjects! Two college semesters of ASL, taken with a deaf professor. I have also translated songs for a choir. Although I am not fluent in this language, it remains to be one of my absolute favorites.

I have tutored many young students throughout my life, and have been tutored myself. I do find it easier to work with younger children; however, I am capable of assisting those of high school or college age students who are struggling. I have helped young children learn how to read, write, count, and tell time on an analog clock. Though I do not have strictly professional tutoring experience (I have never been paid for my services) I know how to identify student's learning style(s) and work with them a way that they will benefit from. I believe that children and adult education is extremely important, and I can also assist those of any age who would like to learn to read and write.

I tailor my teaching to the person's needs.
I've taught mostly children sign language--songs, words, phrases, and language. I'v taught both individuals and groups. I sometimes use cards, books, and real life experiences to help me with lessons. I can tutor people of any age, always enjoy the experience. I grew up signing fluently, and am a natural at teaching. I mostly taught for free of charge, although my last job was a paid tutoring position with a special needs child.

More About This Tutor...

I believe the most powerful tool we can possess is education and with it follows success in anything we do. I believe it is most important to teach a student techniques on how to find the answers themselves. I like to force my students to problem solve rather than giving out answers. Having a degree in Anthropology I focused on writing and research and have carried research techniques with me in my teaching. I possess many life skills, having put myself through college and believe in hard work and never giving up. I would love to pass on the knowledge and education that I was so fortunate to obtain.
While obtaining my BA in Anthropology at CSU Long Beach I simultaneously worked in the education field. My experience started as a tutor for the AVID program, where I learned techniques on how to teach students how to teach themselves with the resources and knowledge they already pos ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Because each student is different, he learns differently and at his own pace; hence, I strive to understand the student's capabilities and level and cater his learning to his best interest. I enjoy teaching and helping students learn of their potential and intelligence. I believe each student is capable of learning, and success if he dedicates the time and effort--and is given an appropriate environment where he feels comfortable. At the same time, I understand the importance of making learning fun and enjoyable, so that he will continue to feel motivated. I see the effectiveness of reviewing the material and learning the subject in different ways, so a unique style is beneficial and effective.
During my years at UCLA, I reached out to high school students, providing them with tutoring services and educational programs/trips to encourage under-represented students to pursue hig ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I love making teaching enjoyable to students. I truly believe that by making languages fun and enjoyable for students makes all the difference. I will learn about and get to know each student, and accommodate learning styles to find methods that suits the student best. Each lesson will be well prepared with the student in mind, and I will apply my experience along with the most effective strategies that I have gained over the years. These strategies will include drills, games, enacting conversational scenarios, depending on whichever the student learns best with and feels most happy with.
After graduating from UCI, I studied abroad in Spain. Beginning with the intermediate level, I achieved the advanced level in 3 months. Later, in Peace Corps, I trained in Kyrgyz language, and reached the advance level in 10 weeks where I also learned successful methods of intensive tra ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I received my BS degree in Communications in 1974 and passed my CBEST test in December, 2008. I have been tutoring for over 6 months assisting a student rewriting her term paper. I have also tutored my grandson and younger daughter in high school and college math. I decided to enter tutoring and teaching after realizing how important education is while using my communications ability.
I have always enjoyed working with children and helping to direct paths thru life. I get along with children very well and am very patient. Children like adults have their strong subjects and weak ones and my style is try to find the strong points of children. It is important at what point a student lost their way, go back and help them get past that point. I want to make a difference in this small amount of time I have on earth.
