A Little Bit About Me...

I am trained and experienced in individual, small-group, and classroom instruction and curriculum design in a variety of settings with youth in kindergarten through college. I have a strong background in integrated curricula and project-based/experiential learning for all subjects at the K-6 level and Language Arts and Study Skills for grades 7 and above. Additionally, I have extensive experience working with youth with a range of learning differences as well as acute behavioral and emotional needs and a comfort and familiarity with models of positive discipline and behavior modification.
Throughout my recent graduate courses in social work, I've remained active in my teaching and feel the better able I am to listen and understand, the more prepared I am to teach. I believe learning to be a joyful experience and am not only patient in the moments where a concept is yet to be ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My last class was a self-contained 6th grade, with a 34% ELL and 14% special education population. My class average reading level rose from 4.6 to 7.1. Of all the students in the school who surpassed the required State testing and higher District goals in both reading and math, 75% came from my class, as did the winners of the school's essay contest, spelling bee and geography competition. My first career was in medicine where I gave direct care, taught military/civilian classes and participated extensively in research, gaining a deep understanding of science biology and chemistry and human A&P.
I integrate as many subjects as possible and seek to provide the missing schema, background experience and knowledge, that is critical to learning to a true state of understanding and mastery. Every subject is interesting to a child who can understand it and apply it. Through a ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I started teaching English-Language Arts & U.S. History in central California, where I taught 8th graders for two years. Then I moved to South Korea, where I taught ESL for one year. After that amazing experience, I moved to South Lake Tahoe and taught English to 7th & 8th graders. While teaching, I also tutored after-school programs for kids that ranged from 2nd grade to high school. I have tutored in the subjects of reading, writing, life science, elem. and middle school math, and Spanish. Currently, I am tutoring two sets of kids in elementary subjects, with an emphasis on reading comprehension, writing essays, building vocabulary, and working on math skills. I am also teaching the students Spanish.
Teaching is my passion and I can't imagine doing anything else. I love my students and they love me because I provide hands-on, kinesthetic, and rememorable lessons. My patience and ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I believe students will rise to the level of expectations set for them. I am a bit of a comedian, and I use humor to allay frustration in learning situations. I believe in setting goals and charting a specific path for reaching them, while being flexible enough to alter the path along the way. Praise and positive reinforcement are powerful tools when teaching challenging material, and I use them frequently.
I received a BA in General Business from WSU, and was honored as a Cum Laude graduate. The courses were varied and included a wide array of math application, from supply and demand curves to interest rate calculations. My classmates gave me the nickname "Webster" because I was frequently asked to edit their papers and to tutor them in several different subjects. I love working with teenagers, and watching their faces change when they really GET a concept for the first time!
