My goal is to help prepare students to meet the challenges of the new millennium. I realize technology is, and will continue to be, a driving force in workplaces, communities, and personal lives; I want to reinforce the learning skills of students and bring them to the twenty-first century; It is important for students to receive a solid education. Students must actively learn skills that will help them be successful learners in the future; and as a tutor I’m aware of and sensitive to a students individual needs and as a consequence help students unlock their full potential.
My areas of expertise include Spanish, Math and English Language Arts; though, I have acquired experience providing 1- on -1 and in-home academic tutoring to students from grades k-12th in all subject areas.

I like to teach individual or group lessons. At college of the Desert, I had a reputation for being an easy going with a lot of patience when tutoring. My teaching philosophy is to listen to the student and to focus in his or hers needs. I use scientific or graphic calculators when needed. Also, I use computer software to accelerate their learning experience.

More About This Tutor...

As a recent graduate from University of California- Santa Barbara, I am eager to put my acquired skills and knowledge to use. I have earned a bachelor's degree in Global and International studies with an emphasis in Latin America, which has provided me with the opportunity to understand many different cultures and value the importance of education. I always excelled in writing and research classes, earning high marks on term papers and exams. I volunteered in a local kindergarten class 5 hours a week. I helped coordinate various learning labs, that enabled the children to explore and learn new things.
I believe that education is the ultimate tool in life, that every person should have access to. I teach with passion, and truly believe that each child has the ability to achieve anything with hard work and determination. I understand that each person has a different way of learn ... read more

I am a natural teacher, and my experiences reflect that. For example, I am currently working my way through CSU Palm Desert's multiple subject credential. However, the open position I am applying for requires an “Adult Education Writing Tutor”. As a student and professional, I have had many, many opportunities to hone my writing craft. For example, as an adjunct to my recent studies, I took the Masters "Writing 101" class, which instructed me (among other things) in the finery of APA format. While my in-class performances certainly indicates my ability to write at the graduate level, it is also my professional teaching experience that I believe will convince you to allow me to deliver your services: I possess valuable experience working with students, having several years of small classroom leadership (and one-on-one instruction) with adult learners.

More About This Tutor...

For as long as I can remember I have desired to become a teacher. I didn't pursue it initially because I was lured to careers which netted a greater return on my investment, I thought. I later returned to school and continue education eagerly. I am very much able to connect to students with various backgrounds, abilities and challenges. I have developed a style that not only includes direct instruction but hands-on, inquiry based learning that fosters retention and is delivered in a positive, upbeat, fun environment. I love children and working with them comes very natural for me. I was born to teach and it is manifested by the two-way love and respect shown as well as the progress made by my students.
Prior to teaching, I worked as a human resources professional and have learned all phases of human resources with a specialty for recruitment. I have taken the tenets of huma ... read more

All students can learn, but in different ways. I, for one, learn best by watching how something is done. I can read about it, or hear a lecture about it, but seeing it helps me understand the subject. This type of teaching would be done with movies, drawing or acting out the situation. In my teaching, I try to use all methods available to me to help the students learn and to use their creativity. I especially try to get students to work in groups and to share their work with each other. I find that pier groups provide the best help in understanding the subject matter. The classroom should be a learning place of activities and fun.
I started substitute teaching in 1983 while I was working on my Master's Degree at California State University, Long Beach. I have been a substitute teacher in Long Beach, Santa Barbara, Glendale, and Palm Springs. I have had experience as a long ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Working with children is my passion ,and ensuring their success is my goal.I consider my teaching style to be a demonstrator in which I put an emphasis on demonstration and modeling. Where I guide the student to develop and apply the skills that were demonstrated. I feel that encouraging student participation while adapting their unique learning style will help the student take responsibility for learning what they need help on. A student should be pushed to excel but it is also about teaching the student discipline, and respecting others. Lastly, tutoring is about having fun, creating a exciting experience to the student and creating a memorable teaching environment that ensure success for the student.
I have the passion required to help students reach their full academic potential. Teaching is about not only motivating them to learn but to teach them how to learn. My B.S in Acco ... read more

Although I tutored math (geometry, algebra II) and biology in high school, I ended up graduating from UCLA with a BA in Political Science. Somewhat of an about-face in studies, I sought to be more versatile academically and subsequently was enriched with an encompassing and very satisfying social sciences education. Preparation for the degree required "allied field" courses to be taken in other social science classes such as sociology, history, economics and psychology. Courses in statistics and writing were also part of the program. I am well versed to teach math (up to algebra II), biology and any subjects pertaining to social studies (government, economics, world and U.S. history).
One of the key elements of tutoring is communication between the tutor and student. Encouraging discussion instead of lecturing of the subject is important. Facilitating good rapport allows me to ... read more

I am a hands on conceptual style learner and like to teach the same way, I believe that students that can see the "why" can understand and retain what they learn. Engaging learners by using hands on activites can facilitate the learning process.

Services). I presently sub for Palm Springs Unified in a k-12 capacity. I can tutor in all elementary and middle school subjects and in math through high school geometry.

A Little Bit About Me...

It is important for me to determine what motivates each student to learn, what their interests are and what is important to them. I wanted the student to see how each lesson was valuable to their future success. I always got my students involved in the classroom with open discussions. Each week my students gave a five minute presentation on a subject of their choise, building their self confidence along with their reading, writing and speaking skills.
After twenty years in the financial area I went back to school to obtain a special education credential and found a passion for teaching. While in school I worked as a teacher's aide at Seaside High School, and taught 5th grade summer school for two years. After completing my education course work I received a contract with Monterey Peninsula Unified School District and taught at Los Arboles Middle School. My middle school stude ... read more

I approach each student as an individual and develop a learning plan that will instill confidence while assuring that the student is able to understand and perform the subject matter skills for academic success. My ability to relate to students and understand their perspective allows me to quickly develop a relationship on which I am able to build a foundation of trust and commitment so that the student actively engages in learning. By using a diagnostic approach, we jointly determine the student’s current level of knowledge and quickly reinforce that foundation before proceeding with instruction on more advanced grade level requirements. I use models and schemas that the student can internalize to teach and then re-teach the structure so that concepts connect and then continue to build skills that advance retention and equip the student with the intellectual map to demonstrate competen ... read more

Fair, firm and consistent are my mantras of classroom management. In that, I believe that all children deserve a safe, clean, engaging, yet structured environment in which to meet their full potential. I firmly believe that learning is a team affair, and practice the standards of cooperative learning.
For the past year-and-a-half, I have worked as a long-term substitute teacher for the Palm Springs Unified School District, acting as the virtual teacher of record in dedicated classrooms on several occasions. Inherent in that experience, I developed lesson plans and graded student work, as well as liaised with parents and administration. I am versed in the California Content Standards across curriculums and have passed my CBEST, as well as my CSET.
