I have experience being an English tutor to four different families during my time abroad in Barcelona. My students varied in age, the youngest being seven and the oldest being 13. This experience allowed me to better understand students at all different levels and what teaching methods children at different ages better respond to. I also have experience using my passion for art as tools of learning. I have experience teaching drawing and painting as tools of stress relief and of memorization. I also tend to encourage students to read and help to kickstart their overall motivation for learning and discovering by tapping in to their creative as well as academic sides.

My former high school students used to tell me how much they appreciated my patience with them; modestly, I would have to agree with their assessment. I believe that individuals process information in different ways, and it is my responsibility to understand the best method to help a student successfully learn. In addition to being patient, I am creative, courteous, composed, and an effective communicator. With my acute attention to detail and calm persistence, learning (specifically, writing) becomes less daunting, more tolerable, and even enjoyable. Anyone can learn if permitted to do so in a positive environment and with the proper tools; I enable such an experience as a knowledgeable and conscientious tutor. After earning my BA and CA Teaching Credential in English, my love for the language and subject drove me to complete my MA in English and Comparative Literature in less than two

Working with children of all ages is one of my greatest joys. My post graduate work focused,and continues to focus, on methods of instruction that create life long learners and teaching from each student's needs and motivations. Students possess multiple strengths, interests, and desires and it is my goal to access those attributes to spark interest and success in learning. All children can reach their potential and beyond when given the opportunity to succeed. In my twenty three years of teaching experience, I've sought cutting edge technology and methodology training. My career has included teaching all grades, K-8, either as the classroom teacher, summer school demonstration teacher, substitute or English language arts teacher. In the last ten years, I've been an English language arts teacher in grades six and eight at Stevenson School in Carmel and in the Sandwich Public Schools

In High School I discovered that not only was I skilled in math and science, but that I was effective in tutoring other students in these subjects. I started professionally tutoring students younger than me when I was a junior and continued until I graduated college. I successfully tutored students in Algebra, Geometry/Trig, Algebra 2, Pre-Calc, Chemistry, Physics, Biology, and SAT Prep. I have taught swimming and been a lifeguard through American Red Cross since I was 16, and in 2007 decided to take the next step and become an instructor for them. I now teach CPR/First Aid, and Lifeguard Training for different facilities in the area. I feel that my largest teaching strength is the ability to identify where students are having problems and address those issues first. If students don't understand the fundamentals, it is impossible to teach them advanced concepts. In addition to this

I currently hold a BA in Human Communication with a concentration in the Single Subject Waiver in English, which has provided me with the experience necessary to tutor in reading, writing, literature, and technology. I've worked for a year as a Notetaker for several disabled college students, volunteered 70+ hours as a teacher's aide for elementary school students, volunteered 30+ hours as a teacher's aide for high school students, and worked for a year and a half as an Instructional Student Assistant in a college environment for Computer Science and Information Technology. These instances have allowed me to tutor and mentor students of all ages, diverse cultural backgrounds, and abilities. I enjoy working with students, regardless of their age or capabilities. I am a patient and understanding individual who strives to provide what students need to succeed. My method revolves around help

I believe in a multi-sensory approach to learning. All children learn in their own way. My job as a teacher is to provide instruction in a way the child will learn best, whether that is through movement, audio, manipulative or visual cues. I understand that all children learn at their own pace and I am patient. Learning should also be relevant to a student's life. If the students understands how algebra, reading or music will help them in life, they are more persistent in their education. Finally, learning should be fun. Games allow children to master material without tedious repetition and allow students to make mistakes in a non-judgmental arena. I typically end tutoring sessions with a short game reviewing material the student has mastered. The student leaves with a feeling of success and confidence they have earned. In college, the focus of my degree was creative writing and social a

I love teaching students to discover the answers to questions and problems that otherwise eluded them. I am a firm believer in student-centered learning, meaning the students are given the opportunity to research, discover, and progress through various techniques. Providing the appropriate learning environment is essential for a student to fully experience their potential. Therefore, I gladly provide each student with information that will give them the opportunity to produce better study habits and test taking abilities. I believe using these tools will provide students with a life long learning advantage that will follow them through all aspects of their lives. As an educator, I have been given the opportunity to teach in various venues and modalities. Through these opportunities I have taught adults, children and teenagers using many techniques and styles.

I am a recent retiree with 33 years of teaching in both private and public institutions. I have had the pleasure of working on four different continents, primarily as a math and French instructor. Among my various accomplishments, I would include my year in France as a Fulbright exchange participant. After teaching French for my first dozen years, I then acquired a supplementary credential in mathematics, a subject area in greater demand. The majority of my career has been devoted to students of middle school age. Having taught in Australia, France, Japan and the United States, I have gained a unique understanding of different school systems and teaching methodologies. I particularly enjoyed the smaller private school settings with motivated learners. All the same, I believe that my years in the public sector served to improve my organizational and management skills. I am known for

As a graduate, I've been very blessed to have received a degree in Business Communication. In college I learned how to become a better educator, and communicate with them on the highest level. Although, I tutor in all of the academic areas, I also enjoy helping my student appreciate the art of becoming a good writer, and thinkers. My students are also encouraged to read for relaxation, and entertainment. Making the education process fun is also an asset. The extensive course work, I received in college has enabled me to teach others to become academically proficient. Teaching can be a most wonderful adventure. I believe every child can learn. At times students or overwhelming with new concepts, and they need to be encouraged, and praise until they can accomplish the task at hand.

I enjoy working with students of all ages. As a teacher, there is nothing greater than to see my students succeed. I am more results-oriented and I encourage students to work persistently until they have accomplished their goals. I am friendly, patient, and easy going. Although I push my students to work hard, I also like to have fun and make the learning experience enjoyable as well. I have a very diverse background and I have many years of experience teaching in different subjects. I was an English teacher for one year in Korea, teaching children at a public school. I have taught fine art at a private school in Salinas. I have also been teaching martial arts and self-defense for over 10 years. I have worked with children as young as 4, to adults in their senior years. I hold a bachelor's degree in Business Marketing from San Jose State and I graduated with honors.

I enjoy working with all children and I am looking forward to putting my experiences into practice. I am motivated, determined, and I strive for excellence; and I believe that one must do something they enjoy doing in order to achieve that excellence. As a tutor, I try my best to place myself in the student's shoe/perspective so that I can provide them with a better method of learning the materials. I also encourage the students rather than give up on them because the best thing a teacher/tutor can do for their student is to provide them with support and care; and let them know that you are there for them throughout the process of their learning. I may be imperfect, but I hope to be a role model to those that need one. I currently graduated from the University of California, Berkeley with a BS in Society and Environment. I also graduated with a Minor in Education. I have been tutoring (v
