I'll Teach your Student to Teach Him or Herself

I hate lecturing! I do! This is why my tutoring style is very interactive. I don't like talking AT a person, I prefer to have a conversation. My goal as a tutor is to make subjects interesting, and also to make sure they stick- so you can do well on exams. I also teach study skills in every session, so ideally you won't have to rely on me forever. I try to give students tools that they can use to teach them how to teach themselves- something they'll have to do if they're considering college.
I have worked as a tutor for 10 years in all subjects, especially focusing on ESL learners. Recently, I have worked in an ESL school (FLS International) with university age students seeking to matriculate into American Universities. Before that, I worked in South Korea teaching English. While employed at these schools, I also work part-time as a tutor- mostly for middle and high school ... read more

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 seeing the appearence of awareness on a childs face, when they have accomplished a goal, or solved a problem they had difficulty solving. I believe tutoring a child can be a powerful tool, and it can also unleash a potential genius.
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 ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

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. My education and experiences as a military spouse, an adult college student, Girl Scout Troop Leader, teacher and business owner have given me knowledge in various subject matters (i.e., English Language Learners, Language Composition, Mathematics, History, Science, Music, Business Management, and Team Building) that would benefit many levels of learning.
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 stu ... read more

In college, the focus of my degree was creative writing and social action. I gained extensive experience researching, writing narrative and informative papers and determining how to use the information most effectively. My creative work has been presented locally and at international conferences. After finishing my BA in Human Communications, I realized I wanted a better education for my daughters than the local school district could provide. I began an in depth study of educational philosophies and concluded that homeschooling would be in their best interest. Through educating them, I realized that I have a love for teaching. Over the course of several years, I have tutored children in creative and non-fiction writing. I have also tutored children with dyslexia using the Barton System.
I believe in a multi-sensory approach to learning. All children learn in their own way. My job a ... read more

My teaching style is based on certain principles which I believe forms the foundation of the way I teach. One basic principle is that one truly must have that desire to teach others. Another principle is to believe that knowledge needs to grow and needs to be shared with all who wishes to learn. A third principle of mine is the importance to be able to be flexible in the method of teaching as there are different learning abilities and one must be able to recognize and try different teaching approaches to meet the desired goals. In addition to the above principles, my people skills and patience and the desire to be able to help others in achieving their educational goals has led me to this teaching opportunity.

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe that each student responds to direct personal interest in him or her as a person first, and then as a learner. A child yearns to be noticed and appreciated for his unique talents and interests, so I start there. I am a low-key but enthusiastic and energetic person who relates to the struggles of the learner. My goal is to help the child or young adult to find that aha experience that makes learning fun for them. Whether the problem is grasping the idea in a reading passage, struggling to make a paragraph sound better, or learning how to summarize ideas, I gently work with people until they accomplish their goals.

As a tutor I feel it is my job to provide students with the extra help they need in reaching their educational outside of the classroom. I have always been very passionate for nurturing the needs of individuals of all ages: elementary and middle school students, high schools students, college students, and working professionals. I love seeing individuals grow threw the learning process, and am always amazed at how much I learn, as the tutor, from the students, as well. I fully understand that the needs of each student vary, as do the different ways in which each student learns. I enjoy using both out of the box and traditional methods of tutoring to make the learning process both fun and educational.

Having grown up in Costa Rica attending a bilingual school, I am fully fluent in English and Spanish, and tutored language learners often in high school and college. I received my B.S. in Biology from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo where I was involved in the Science Education club, and assisted in several university and state-funded after-school programs for middle school students. After college I immediately went into a PhD program in Ecology & Evolution at the University of Illinois at Chicago, where I maintained a 4.0 GPA, and taught undergraduate Genetics and Ecology labs for one year. I am currently working towards my bilingual Single Subject Teaching Credential and a Master's degree in Education.
