As a Cuesta College student focusing in English, I tutored students for 2 semesters during my educational path. I not only had the passion for helping students who had problems in English, but it was really good experience in my major. For 2 semesters after I tutored students I went on to grading for 4 different professors which gave me even more experience in how college professors look at their papers and grade. I have great patience and understanding for any student who has problems in English, and I have the experience to help them. I already have me AA in English and I am attending Cal Poly next fall to pursue my BA and Masters in English.
First of all, my teaching style revolves around patience and understanding, I believe that if anyone truly focuses and tries they can learn the material with a little guidance. My goal is to help students conquer their problems in the c ... read more

I have dedicated my professional life to helping students and young people achieve their potential. In my experience, often times a student’s ability to learn is tied in with their trust of and rapport with the person teaching them. I feel it is important to allow the student to go at his or her “own pace” and not create a frustrating environment where they may feel too pressured. Although the parents may feel frustrated at this point, it is helpful to get their support and encouragement during the tutoring process. So, ideally, it is important to first create a good learning environment followed by a clear understanding of the subject problem areas (establishing a “baseline”) and then setting up a plan for overcoming those problem areas.
I have many years of experience tutoring and counseling students at all grade levels ( K-12). I have tutored in community-based programs as well ... read more

I have always been driven to learn and pursue and education, this led me to completing my bachelor's degree in biology with a minor in history from UC- San Diego.

I have worked both at private and public middle schools. I've gained great respect for diversity in all it's wonderful forms. My experience has taught me that each child, not only deserves, but dreams of success. My belief that each child is "gift-brilliant" in some area, grows stronger the more experienced I become in my career as an educator and as a parent. Having taught for 8 years, and through my own personal journey, I firmly believe that it is not our children that have difficulties learning, it's us who have difficulties teaching; we need to develop strategies that meet each child's learning style. And when we master that, each child will thrive through our efforts.
My teaching style can best be described through the overall goals of the school I am currently working at: fostering self-esteem through respecting each child's diverse nature; cooperation and communication, s ... read more

I love teaching. I also love learning. It has been my good fortune to teach, for many years, students of all ages. I find great fulfillment in the flow of knowledge and the dynamic learning experience. Every student is different in how they perceive the world and the laws of Nature that drive it. My approach to teaching is to take the student from where they are to a level of greater fullness - any discipline is an appropriate vehicle. The truth that knowledge is structured in consciousness is displayed when the student grows as a person as they grow in ownership of different expressions of knowledge – science, math, language, sociology, etc..
I am well-traveled internationally, and have nearly 30 years experience teaching and implementing management level development programs. I am comfortable presenting to groups of all sizes, and enjoy every opportunity to collaborate on program ... read more

Through my education and experience in working with young people, I have been fortunate enough to utilize my communication skills to assist young people with emotional needs learn math and english in a creative but producitive way. I also have taught parents of high school students social and communication skills in an effort to positively communicate with their children.
With my background in social work and facilitation, I have learned that flexibility and patience are critical when teaching young people. Each session with a young person involves meeting the child where they arere at, honoring and praising what they do possess, and then moving forward to areas that may be a bit more challenging.

More About This Tutor...

I use a teaching paradigm that stresses the importance of student's needs and learning styles. Every student brings unique skills and perspectives to the classroom and tutor session, and because of this I have found that my teaching strategy changes per student and per teaching situation. For some students, being taught using the socratic method works well, while others like to take notes, absorb the material, then ask questions later during office hours. I have found that understanding student's learning methods have helped me to become a better teacher.
As a student at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo I was interested in English education, especially in terms of helping students improving their reading and writing skills. I followed this interest by tutoring at the university writing lab, as well as doing frequent one-on-one tutor sessions with students in need. At the end of each quarte ... read more
