Continuing Education Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Coyote, CA

I have taught Social Studies and Language Arts at the middle school and high school levels in Missouri for three years. I have worked with students that are considered at-risk, ELD, and students with special needs (including Autism, remedial studies, learning disabilities, and emotional disturbance disorders). I hold current and valid teaching credentials in both California and Missouri. I am in the last eight months of my Masters Degree at National University for teaching students with special needs. I also hold a Masters in Education in Best Teaching Practices, and Bachelors of Science in Social Studies Education. I utilize a variety of instructional techniques to help each diverse learner succeed and excel. I believe the most imperative part of teaching is to facilitate a positive rapport with my students and have clear structure for them to work with.

I believe that no one is stupid or can't learn, I believe that students have different learning styles. I like to help people and am a hands on tutor who enjoys explaining concepts to the student in different ways until they are able to master the subject. I love teaching! I have tutored ESL students in a college setting for the State University of New York (SUNY) at Potsdam. I have also worked as a tutor for Club Z Tutoring for English and biology. My students improved greatly. I have participated in several writing workshops for creative writing and academic writing at SUNY Potsdam. I have college credit in several areas, including creative writing, professional writing, grant writing, psychology, biology, communications, speaking, sociology, and history.

"A teacher is one who makes himself progressively unnecessary" I think that this quote about teaching, in a way, reflects my idea on what teaching is all about. One can be a good teacher, whose characteristics encompass good knowledge of the subject matter, understanding the needs of your students, and the ability to apply this knowledge to students' needs. However, an effective teacher does not only pass knowledge on to her students, but makes herself gradually unnecessary: her learners become independent learners as they progress through a course. As a teacher, I always try to be effective in this sense - I foster independence in my students. At the same time, I strive for excellence which will eventually make me a better teacher. This endeavor caused me to reflect on how an excellent teacher is different from a good teacher. The conclusion I have come to is that a gap between a go

I am all about positivity. I believe in constructive feedback and intelligent discussion. I am patient and willing to approach a subject or issue from many angles until the student is comfortable with the material. I believe that passionate teachers create passionate students. I want people to love this stuff as much as I do! I have a Bachelor of Arts in English and a Master of Fine Arts Degree in Creative Writing--specifically poetry. Dozens of my poems have been published in print and online. I am a founding editor of The California Journal of Poetics for which I write, edit, and publish book reviews, interviews, essays, criticism, and other bits and pieces about poets and their writing. I have also taken several graduate level courses and workshops in the writing of novels, short stories, micro-fiction, and creative nonfiction. I have worked with some of the best writers in the world.

Reentering college can be challenging with the responsibilities of adulthood. Having support can be key. I assess the student's level of mastery by listening to parents, communicating with the student (in whatever appropriate way needed) and then doing some basic testing. Once the student is assessed, I design a learning environment and activities that coincide with the student's specific strengths, while adding some elements of challenge. I tend to work in a very focused way for 10-15 minutes, and then add in tactile activities (like Bannana Grams for example) for 10 minutes or so, in order to maintain the student's attention. Children and youth who are struggling to read and write get patient assistance to learn the words correctly. My work will improve writing techniques (including essays and basic writing skills), reading comprehension, vocabulary development, and literary creativity

Mandarin Chinese - I use Total Physical Response Teaching (TPRS) when teaching elementary aged novice learners, which teaches Chinese as well as American Sign Language. History - I teach history using the many multi-media databases that I subscribe to each month. Musical instruments - patience and hands on. I ask the student what song they want to learn and start learning the first lesson. Through my educational studies and life experiences I have gained a firm grasp and appreciation for Mandarin Chinese and Chinese culture. Furthermore, I am a gifted teacher and wish to share my knowledge of China, as well as other subjects like music, history, and art, with others who may find some facets of these subjects to be challenging.

First Generation College Graduate I am a hard worker and expect a similar attitude from the students I tutor. I tend to work out the problem for the student on one problem and then I watch as they go through a similar one to ensure they have understood. This repetative practice has proven efficient. I also tend to make the student practice more than the required assignments needed to be accomplished to ensure a firm grasp of the material. I am an Honors Graduate from California State University Stanislaus and I am knowledgeable on many subjects. I have had former experience in tutoring and I am more than willing to work with students of any age. I am proficient in English, Social Science, Study Skills, and many other areas. As an avid reader and excellent writer I am able to work with students on their writing skills at any level.

Extensive experience as both a college adjunct (at 6 different universities) as well as a tutor for various courses, with particular skill assisting students in overcoming exam-related stress and learning blocks. My experience includes teaching children (8 years old and above), as well as diverse college students, including student-athletes, and those with a learning disability/hearing disability. I hold three graduates degrees--it's fair to say that I am a life-long learner, which I try to instill in others. Depending on the course and student, I vary my teaching style from the Socratic Method (with a lot of questions and answers between the student and me), as well as utilizing real world examples to reinforce concepts. Finally, I strive to move from the basics of a concept, to intermediate types of problems, and build to advanced level. By doing so, I focus on the student's increa

My style is a creative one with results.I have watched students start coming to school with confidence,prepared to meet teacher expectations instead of arriving fearful,knowing they didn't understand what to do,didn't have the materials to do it,or forgot or lost it.Demystification,respect,and rigor are what I offer my students.Responsibility,respect,and rigor are what I expect.I teach organization and empowerment techniques that give tutoring long-lasting effects, not just short-term results like a passing grade on next week's test. As a businesswoman for over 20 years, I believe in prudent use of resources and measurable results.

I have worked for over five years with elementary and middle school-aged students; I have also worked with People with Disabilities. I love working with children, especially the Middle School-aged set, because I love being able to talk with them about current events, and its fun to broaden their horizons beyond their iPods [the gossip and daily drama is hilarious at times too]. I earned my Bachelor's in Biological Sciences and am now in the process of going back to school to earn my teaching credential. I am a parent to a four year old and a twenty year old stepson, so my teaching and parenting is one filled with patience, toughness but fairness, and lots of humor. I believe that children should talk respectfully, grammatically correct [Student: “Can I go to the bathroom?” Myself: “Well, I don’t know.
