"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 g

Noelani C. - Castro Valley, CA 94552 (35.9 mi) - Continuing Education Tutor - $26.50/hr.
I believe that no one is stupid or can't learn, I believe that students have different learning styles. I like to help people and am a hands on tutor who enjoys explaining concepts to the student in different ways until they are able to master the subject. I love teaching! I have tutored ESL students in a college setting for the State University of New York (SUNY) at Potsdam.
I have also worked as a tutor for Club Z Tutoring for English and biology. My students improved greatly.
I have participated in several writing workshops for creative writing and academic writing at SUNY Potsdam.
I have college credit in several areas, including creative writing, professional writing, grant writing, psychology, biology, communications, speaking, sociology, and history.

joshua b. - San Francisco, CA 94110 (41.4 mi) - Continuing Education Tutor - $40.00/hr.
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. 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.

I have tutored a wide variety of students for 14 years, ranging from high-level executives and business professionals to students from the elementary to community college level.

Tesfatsion H - Stanford, CA 94305 (18.7 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

Alexandra K - San Jose, CA 95131 (19.7 mi) - Continuing Education Tutor - $44.50/hr.
I am a parent to a four year old and a twenty year old stepson, so my teaching and parenting is one filled with patience, toughness but fairness, and lots of humor. I believe that children should talk respectfully, grammatically correct [Student: “Can I go to the bathroom?” Myself: “Well, I don’t know. Do you know how to?’ Student: “I mean, may I go to the bathroom?” Myself: “Yes, of course you may go the bathroom”], and should treat each other with respect too. It’s not easy, and it’s more of a battle some days than others. I have students who feel that they can do whatever they want to, on their own time. I teach that with the privileges comes the work, there is no easy way around it [I work with high 6th graders and 7th graders]. I have worked for over five years with elementary and middle school-aged students; I have also worked with People with Disabilities. I love working with chil

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.
