My comments on tutoring American History : I have a BA in History, specializing in American History.

I believe that my eclectic background, coupled with my ability to establish a genuine rapport with students of all ages and nationalities, make me a viable tutorial candidate along with my dedication to the teaching profession, my patience, empathy, and my high standards for my students.
I have considerable experience (20+years) teaching Spanish, French, ESL, and Social Studies to all ages and leels of students in the United States and overseas along with writing, designing, planning, and implementing curricula to meet the individual needs of my students ranging from physically, emotionally and learning challenged to advanced placement.

A Little Bit About Me...

Worked as a peer mentor in high school through a mentor-mentee program. Highly knowledgable of all school subjects. When I'm not tutoring, I enjoy freelance photography and videography. Works extremely well with kids from 13-17. Graduate with high honors from Point Loma High School, and am currently majoring in digital media and videography at Cal State San Marcos
As a Facilitator-Style Tutor, I focus on loose but insightful guidance. This helps foster independence and hands-on learning, as well as building exploratory qualities.

My comments on tutoring American History : I have a passion for history.

I believe in hands on learning. I found out the best way you learn and help you discover your strengths for learning.
As a lifetime learner, I like to share my love of learning with others. My specialty is helping those who have difficulty learning something. I love math but like to teach it so it can be applied to life situations. I believe technology can help us learn but can also overwhelm us. As a special education classroom teacher for two years, test scores for special education students also went up for two years.

My comments on tutoring American History : One of my two minors was history.

I take a systematic "nuts and bolts" approach that gives the student the basic building blocks so that they may become a partner in the integrative learning process that involves figuring out how to properly structure, connect & apply these integrations to form new building blocks, and so on to wider & wider integrations & applications.
Graduated with honors in 2010 from SDSU with a BA in Linguistics and an TESL certificate. I double-minored in History and Geography. Worked at American Language Institute (ALI) before and after graduation as a facilitator (assistant instructor). Graduated from Mesa Community College in 2007 with an associates degree in Social Science.

As a teacher my biggest thrill is helping students reach their goals with clear understanding. Not all students learn the same and so good teachers must have many stategies for diversity in the classroom. With verbal and social skills that elicit trust, I have an ability to teach students that others cannot. I don't ever attempt to mold the student to fit some preconception but rather help the student discover their strengths and deficiencies in such a way as to make their study less daunting and less mystifying. In this way the student will become a more successful learner.

Teaching and tutoring has always been a passion of mine. I have always believed that every person is capable of understanding and learning, provided the right teaching method is used. I am patient and take the time to teach my students the subject at hand--mostly using logic and analogies as examples. I usually quiz them as I teach, always assuring they understand and not moving forward until everything is well understood. When one method doesn't work, I try another method. I don't ever give up on my students. I know they can learn. It's just a matter of how, finding the right method, and applying it.

I enjoy working with high school and college-age students who are committed to success. I am a firm believer in the maxim that your success in understanding or mastering a concept is directly proportional to the amount of effort you are willing to apply to it. I love helping my students grasp difficult concepts and watching the pride they develop in themselves as a result. I also enjoy teaching adults new skills and helping them overcome their initial fears of failure and feelings of insecurity. Everyone is capable of learning something new- it is never too late! I am a very patient and methodical instructor who tailors each tutoring course to the individual student's needs.
I have earned a BA in Social Science and an MA in History, as well a California Community College Teaching Certification. I have taught numerous history lectures at Palomar and Grossmont Community Colle ... read more

I am returning to teaching after years in sales and marketing and now find I have a burning desire to help young people. My teaching career is varied- I have taught very diverse student populations, and age groups from Kindergarten to College, finding benefits at every stage of development. I was trained by some of the top people in the education field to diagnose and remediate many basic learning problems in reading, math and language. Currently I am teaching remedial reading at a local community college and have received high marks in peer and student evaluations.
I love to teach and my students tell me that it shows. I like to evaluate the student to see where they have strengths and weaknesses and how they best respond to instruction. I take skills and break them down to small pieces, to give the student a feeling of success and mastery which can propel them to st ... read more

As a graduate of the University of Puget Sound, I earned a Bachelor’s Degree in English studies as well as a minor in Biology. I spent a year in college editing the student newspaper, in which I furthered my strong writing and editing skills. During my job at a legal education organization, I wrote and released press releases, managed an online newsletter, and researched and developed position papers. Following that, I achieved my teaching credential. I teach 11th and 12th grade English, inspiring students to become better readers, writers, thinkers and speakers, and prepare them for college. My tutoring, work, and teaching experiences, along with my strong writing and editing experience, have advanced my skills and strengths.

Working with hundreds of college students to improve their writing, from academic essays in all subjects to college applications puts a big smile on my face. When they report to me that they received 'A' grades or acceptance to the college of their choice, we both know they have sharpened the tools which will energize their futures. I have written extensively myself, as a fundraiser and communications consultant, so realize the impact, in dollars and cents, that clear and vivid language can have on your reader. Let's work together to make your writing easier for you, and a joy for your reader.
I am warm-hearted and intuitive. I will listen carefully to what you say about your tutoring needs before I look at the work you are doing and offer my analysis of how you can make your language stronger, clearer and more persuasive. I have raised two children who have financed their c ... read more
