"A teacher is one who makes himself progressively unnecessary"
I think that this quote about teaching, in a way, reflects my idea on what teaching is all about. One can be a good teacher, whose characteristics encompass good knowledge of the subject matter, understanding the needs of your students, and the ability to apply this knowledge to students' needs. However, an effective teacher does not only pass knowledge on to her students, but makes herself gradually unnecessary: her learners become independent learners as they progress through a course. As a teacher, I always try to be effective in this sense - I foster independence in my students. At the same time, I strive for excellence which will eventually make me a better teacher. This endeavor caused me to reflect on how an excellent teacher is different from a good teacher. The conclusion I have come to is that a gap between a go

joshua b. - San Francisco, CA 94110 (15.2 mi) - Continuing Education Tutor - $40.00/hr.
Mandarin Chinese - I use Total Physical Response Teaching (TPRS) when teaching elementary aged novice learners, which teaches Chinese as well as American Sign Language.
History - I teach history using the many multi-media databases that I subscribe to each month.
Musical instruments - patience and hands on. I ask the student what song they want to learn and start learning the first lesson. Through my educational studies and life experiences I have gained a firm grasp and appreciation for Mandarin Chinese and Chinese culture. Furthermore, I am a gifted teacher and wish to share my knowledge of China, as well as other subjects like music, history, and art, with others who may find some facets of these subjects to be challenging.

Amy M. - Oakland, CA 94605 (16.4 mi) - Continuing Education Tutor - $90.00/hr.
Reentering college can be challenging with the responsibilities of adulthood. Having support can be key. I assess the student's level of mastery by listening to parents, communicating with the student (in whatever appropriate way needed) and then doing some basic testing. Once the student is assessed, I design a learning environment and activities that coincide with the student's specific strengths, while adding some elements of challenge. I tend to work in a very focused way for 10-15 minutes, and then add in tactile activities (like Bannana Grams for example) for 10 minutes or so, in order to maintain the student's attention. Children and youth who are struggling to read and write get patient assistance to learn the words correctly. My work will improve writing techniques (including essays and basic writing skills), reading comprehension, vocabulary development, and literary creativity

Christopher O. - San Francisco, CA 94105 (17.2 mi) - Continuing Education Tutor - $50.00/hr.
Extensive experience as both a college adjunct (at 6 different universities) as well as a tutor for various courses, with particular skill assisting students in overcoming exam-related stress and learning blocks. My experience includes teaching children (8 years old and above), as well as diverse college students, including student-athletes, and those with a learning disability/hearing disability. I hold three graduates degrees--it's fair to say that I am a life-long learner, which I try to instill in others. Depending on the course and student, I vary my teaching style from the Socratic Method (with a lot of questions and answers between the student and me), as well as utilizing real world examples to reinforce concepts. Finally, I strive to move from the basics of a concept, to intermediate types of problems, and build to advanced level. By doing so, I focus on the student's increa

I have a Bachelor of Arts in English and a Master of Fine Arts Degree in Creative Writing--specifically poetry. Dozens of my poems have been published in print and online.

Liza W. - San Jose, CA 95111 (26.1 mi) - Continuing Education Tutor - $40.00/hr.
I utilize a variety of instructional techniques to help each diverse learner succeed and excel. I believe the most imperative part of teaching is to facilitate a positive rapport with my students and have clear structure for them to work with. I have taught Social Studies and Language Arts at the middle school and high school levels in Missouri for three years. I have worked with students that are considered at-risk, ELD, and students with special needs (including Autism, remedial studies, learning disabilities, and emotional disturbance disorders). I hold current and valid teaching credentials in both California and Missouri. I am in the last eight months of my Masters Degree at National University for teaching students with special needs. I also hold a Masters in Education in Best Teaching Practices, and Bachelors of Science in Social Studies Education.

ALISI F - REDWOOD CITY, CA 94061 (4.7 mi) - Continuing Education Tutor - $46.00/hr.
I believe in THE BRAIN-THINKING-EXPRESSION AND DOING YOUR WORK. I believe in introduction and showing examples of what needs to be done and then letting them go to achieve the results. I believe in letting them think and use what they have called the brain to finish what needs to be done. I have taught/tutored/mentored/and used a one-2-one teaching style to make teaching fun for my students and I. If my students are comfortable then obtaining results will be fun. My experience has been all about what makes my students want to learn and how I can help them become successful. I want to make teaching and obtaining results more fun and easy.
I have spend over 20 years in the field of education in Ravenswood City School District.

Tesfatsion H - Stanford, CA 94305 (8.5 mi) - Continuing Education Tutor - $46.00/hr.
I have learned to adjust my tutoring skills specifically for the student based on their learning style; allowing the student to get much more out of the experience. The fact that I've worked with various levels has allowed me to experience a good number of behaviors, attention spans, interests, drives, and has allowed me to see the difference in subjects, how they must be illustrated as well as the way students tend to respond. From this, I have been able to curtail my style in correspondence to each tutee. Since high school I have been involved with tutoring. Although on a voluntary basis I tutored Algebra 2 and BIology in high school. At Stanford, I have been involved with various programs like Math Magic, East Palo Alto Children's Association, HAAS Center...in tutoring students from the area. I have instructed elementary, middle, and high school students thus far. In addition to acade
