Elementary Tutor and Student Development

My teaching experience includes several semesters of substitute teaching, and tutoring locally for 2+ years as a part-time job, dirived from volunteering as a tutor for family members and friends. As a tutor, it is my job to help students with whatever it is they are struggling in and turn their struggles to successes. I specialize in working with those who want to become better readers - comprehension, fluence, vocabulary, phonics and spelling are all key to becoming a better reader.
Patience is one word to describe my teaching style. My main objective is to work with students on goal-setting and then concentrate on how to meet those goals.

More About This Tutor...

I taught elementary school, full time contract, for 18 years at the Adelanto School District, which included grades K,1,2,3,4,5, and Gifted and Talented Students, Electronic Music Studio, and ESL Bilingual Students, and operated and maintained the computers for the District as a School Site Technology Specialist for about 3 years. I last taught as a long term substitute in Lucerne Valley, Ca, Community Day School for the entire second semester, and have maintained my valid teaching credential, valid till 2013, and renewable (CA).
I have also integrated music with mathematics, science, and writing skills, and taught how these subjects apply in Electronic Music, teaching the math of harmony, frequency, voltages, sound waves, and fractions with music notation, combined with writing in lyric composition, journal writing, and research assignments, and learning songs.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have a completely hands on approach to teaching. I work with the student to see what it is they understand and what they do not. From there we work through the different areas until the student fully understands what they are missing. This allows for the student to feel as though they have a sense of accomplishment.
I have tutored for many years. I first started tutoring in High School, then while I was in College and lately for the neighborhood children. I have brought younger children up to speed in reading (k-5). I have worked with children in Middle School and High School with their math work. I have tutored pre-algebra and algebra.

Teaching and learning are inextricably linked. Hence, I espouse to an approach that focuses more on tapping into the students learning schema than on teaching/tutoring per se. That being said, I am very interested in establishing the motivation/purpose for learning and then developing a plan, with the student, and where appropriate the parent, that will help the student achieve his/her desired goal and/or purpose.
Working with central city and at-risk youth is my life work. For the past ten years I have worked in a myriad of social service and educational settings employing a plethora of strategies aimed at helping central city and at-risk students achieve academic, career and social success. What's more, as a former struggling central city and at-risk student, I understand that students can only learn when they can make meaning out of their learning experience. For that reason ... read more
