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

I have experience teaching and tutoring at various levels and locations, including several countries. Am flexible as to learning materials and methods depending on your time, availability, budget and resources. My main concern is how YOU can learn and retain better. Each student must understand (before integrating) their own strengths and weaknesses into their study skills and become a systematic achiever. I will assist and teach you how to empower yourself in the chosen topics. You will gain confidence in what you know (where you can excel), who you are (what drives you), what you really want (what profession/path/trade inspires you), and how to get where you want to be by creating and implementing a step to step plan to your goal(s)/success.

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 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 have worked extensively with students in academics and many extracurricular activities for 5 years. I have worked with students as a teacher/tutor in math, oral language, reading, study skills, and writing. In addition, I worked as an Assistant Teacher for Audeo Charter School for 2 years. As an assistant teacher, I worked with students from 6th-12th grade - helping them with their work (i.e. composing essays, conducting research, or solving math problems). In addition to my duties, I also assist students in organizing and preparing their lessons, plus grading their work. I am also responsible for the classroom whenever the head teacher is not in. I have also worked for High Tech High for over a year now as an Academic Coach. I love math challenging myself and working with children (students).

I have been a straight-A student my entire life and I recently graduated from the University of New Hampshire with a 4.0 GPA. I earned my B.S. in Physics (Astronomy emphasis) with a minor in Applied Mathematics. Though my expertise lies in mathematics and the sciences, I am also knowledgeable in topics ranging from history to English grammar and composition. Much of my academic success is due to my ability to prepare for exams. I scored a 32 on the ACT, as well as perfect scores of 800 on the SAT2 Writing and GRE Mathematics exams. I gained teaching-related experience during my year as an Instructional Assistant, in which I assisted students with math, science, English, and GED exam preparation. At the college level, I spent 2.5 years tutoring in physics, math, and astronomy, as well as a semester in a college-level general physics class working as a teaching assistant. My 5 years as a U

I love working with all children. Every child, adolescent, and adult have different learning capabilities. I am here to find which suits them the best. I want to help your child find academic success in all that they do. I believe that all children have the potential to succeed it's finding the method that works best for them. I am here to help. Through motivation and positivity, my goal is to make a difference in the lives of children. Knowing they can succeed, is the first step in becoming successful! As a graduate of PLNU, I always new that I wanted the challenge to teach High school. I have always been driven in education, whether is it working with youth in a camp setting or a class room setting. I feel that not everyone works well in a class room and that is okay. I have developed my writing and grammar skills extensively due to my position as a Deputy Sheriff Detention's

I am a dynamic, energetic instructor with high standards. My enthusiasm for teaching is obvious in the time and energy I spend to help my students succeed. I want my students to be able to use higher levels of critical thinking skills and become effective problem solvers, not just robots who can memorize facts. Having worked with students of all ages and levels, I find that there are rarely children I can't reach, regardless of disabilities, abilities, or motivation. As a tutor, I have the joy of watching my students make progress in their class material as well as seeing their confidence rise. My goal is to make a strong positive impact on the lives of those I teach, and I work hard to achieve that goal. I have worked in education in some form since 1996 when I started as a campus supervisor at Twin Peaks Middle School. During the six years I worked at TPMS, I tutored students, co-facil

As a Master’s degree recipient in English, I have developed a comprehensive background in literature and composition. Moreover, my professional history includes many years of teaching and mentoring in both in the United States and abroad, which has enhanced my ability to communicate complex subject matter to a culturally varied student demographic. In Taipei, Taiwan, I prepared, facilitated and assessed English classes for local elementary, secondary, and adult Taiwanese students. While receiving my NCLB certified CLAD credential from SDSU, I served an inner-city population of students as a student teacher at San Diego High School, during which I had implemented and practiced effective teaching strategies to accommodate students with special needs and English Language Learners. I have since earned a CSET certification in general science and have designed technologically advanced units of

With respect to my teaching style, I liken it to a series of books written by Isaac Asimov entitled, Understanding Physics. These books have little math but explain the physical concepts in a story-like fashion. I find this very important because many physics books and instructors put too much emphasis on the mathematics and not enough on conveying the physical concepts. The result is a student who is unable to solve physics problems. First, the student must know the physical concept which then enables them to apply the correct mathematics in order to solve the problem. Mathematics is an art in itself but is simply a tool to solve physics problems. Instructed all physics laboratories at San Diego State University for calculus and non-calculus based physics courses. These courses included: Mechanics, Electricity and Magnetism, and Modern Physics. Instructed a physics courses unde

I love Mathematics and I often wear my heart on sleeve; when it comes to Math, I try to infect the student with that bug. I believe that most students have issues with their immediate teaching and, as a result, feel that math has no meaning to them, hence I teach Mathematics in a contextual manner, showing deep meaning for the drills imposed in the classroom curriculums most experience daily. I stress heuristic analysis techniques that have shown great results I have tutored HS 9-12 and undrgraduate students individually in Mathematics, Chemistry, Biology, Physics and for SAT/ACT testing since the late 1990's. I received teaching credentials for teaching 9-12 Mathematics in California in 2005. I have worked as a Math/Sciences substitute in the Grossmont Union High School District since that time.

Since I graduated with a BS in Environmental Science, I had been a high-school tutor for more than 6 years helping students in the subjects of Math and Science, specifically, Algebra, Geometry, Physics, and Biology. I handled, on the average, 8 students daily - some in groups while others individually. I have learned to understand each student's needs and characters and the approaches in dealing with them. I now have a Masters Degree in Accountancy and believe in the importance of education in one's life. I would like to continue helping students not just to strive but to excel. I believe each student is different and as such, each should be handled differently. My more than six years of tutoring experience provided me extensive background on students characters and approaches in better presenting the subject matter. At the end of the day, it is important that the student has learned an

I believe in a student centered environment where the student needs are met through discovery, direct questioning and a guided independent learning environment. Working as a teacher includes researching to present new information to learners. It also includes being available for student-parent conferences to report on the progress of the student and to answer any questions about tests and scheduling of new test and teaching requirements. I have worked as an administrator in charge of a tutoring program where I hired math and reading tutors. My experience included training and mentoring tutors hired in the program. Also, I have worked as a 7th grade math teacher and 8th grade pre-algebra teacher for one year. This included writing lesson plans, teaching basic math and pre-algebraic math concepts, grading papers and attending team meetings.
