From having been in the education field for over 10 years, I have come to learn that my teaching style is very much dependent on the learning style of the individual. Introducing young children to language requires a very different set of skills and expectations that teaching freshmen composition at the college level. I think the most important aspect of a teaching style is the ability to judge and modify instruction so that it is suited for the learner, and I always intend to teach the student, rather than just teach the material. As an English teacher, I have had the opportunities to work with many different ages and levels of students. From foreign kindergarten students through degree seeking college students and varying levels in between, I have learned many different skills to help me approach each learner with the tools that make learning easy and enjoyable.

Throughout my career as a student, I have always prided myself on the ability to help others learn. When I was a high school student, I was the one other students would come to with questions, and I always gave an answer with confidence. Then I got to college and began to study Biology. I was so amazed at the broad spectrum of the sciences, that I decided to add a Chemistry component to my college degree. Through Chemistry I could better understand Biology. Then I realized that the whole time, I was increasing my ability to teach and learn, so I added an Education component to my college degree, and that has brought me to the point I am at now. As an education student, I saw many opportunities in that field. I also saw the diversity of learners, and the need for a diversity in the way education is approached. I began to challenge myself by removing limitations like language, and searchin

Over the past fifteen years, most of my teaching skills have been in non-traditional settings. Providing education for diverse age populations in the area of community programs taught me a multitude of instructional strategies. In 2001, the lead special education teacher at a high school asked me to offer assistance. I was able to observe different teaching styles in classroom settings and to provide individual instruction to students with varying learning styles. My most recent position at Total Education Solutions offered me the opportunity to be in a classroom setting. Although my placement was with one child, my presence and skills in teaching and behavior modification called me to work in small groups and with other individual students. I adapted therapies and curriculum in order to fit the needs of the children. Working in conjunction with the Los Angeles Unified School Dist

Growing up my mother ran a tutoring program out of our home. This is where I initially learned the skills involved in tutoring. Ever since I was 16, I was aiding my mother in various tutoring sessions and when I entered University at age 18 I worked as a lead tutor for a tutoring program for at-risk children of the Azusa community in California. For two years, I worked with and watched as various children I tutored and mentored grew and overcame learning obstacles, excelling in the classroom as well as at home. Throughout my high school and university years, my education has fine-tuned my reading and writing skills through the endless process of research papers, thesis', and creative writings. Since then I have been tutoring in the subjects of reading, writing, math, Spanish, and cultural studies. Teaching has always been a part of my life. My mother was constantly teaching me, along wit

I employ a number of different tactics while teaching. My main focus is using open-ended questions which help students understand not only what the correct answer is, but also why the answer is correct. I am focus-driven and work to set objectives. I will focus on an objective until it is understood completely. I have a strong ability to relate concepts into real-life situations which helps students to retain the information they gain. As the 7th Grade English and reading teacher at Robison Middle School, test scores on the state-mandated proficiency exam improved by 24%. After one year of service, I was asked to be the Chair of the Reading department. As the instructor for Read 180, I developed students' reading abilities who were far below school and district standards.

Although each child has his or her own style of learning, I believe in bringing out their highest potential by feeding them with the kind of construcive criticism and positive reinforcement that motivates every young mind. I am patient, respectful and warm. My hope as a tutor is to help students learn more easily by providing them with essential tools they will be able to use for the rest of their lives. In my 20 + years as a student, I have become convinced that a great teacher is essential to bolstering confidence, passion and motivation to learn. I intend to inspire all three. Only four years after immigrating from Belgium to the US, self motivated success and ambition allowed me to graduate Valedictorian of my high school class. I was offered a full ride scholarship to UC Berkeley, the #1 public university in the nation. I was pleased with my accomplishments and proceeded to keep fol

I have always enjoyed teaching and helping people learn. I discovered that I had a knack for it when I participated in a program tutoring fellow students while I was in high school. I have found that the most effective way to tutor children is to get them excited about learning as well as to make sure that they believe in themselves. I have seen that all children can learn if they have the desire, the motivation, and the proper guidance. I attended very rigorous academic institutions for both high school and college that demanded that their students achieve a well rounded education. As a result, I possess a vast amount of knowledge in a wide array of subjects. I am a very proficient writer and have also passed college level calculus and statistics. I have tutored students in all 5 basic subjects as well as Spanish, which I can speak, read, and write.

I am a current high school English teacher, with experience in teaching Journalism, Publications, and middle school language arts. I began tutoring students (middle school and elementary school) during a stint in Americorps (2002), and continue to tutor my own ESL students today. My strength is in teaching writing, specifically writing for standardized tests. I feel very comfortable teaching all areas of language arts, reading, study skills, and test preparation. I enjoy teaching and working with young people. I am a firm believer that students work up or down to expectations--I consistently hold high expectations and enjoy watching students work hard to meet them. Part of the challenge (and joy) of teaching is figuring out how to convey information to different types of learners. I am fascinated by the learning process, and enjoy devising new ways to teach the same subject material. On

I get a thrill from experiencing a student achieving the Ah-ha! moment of learning. I employ multiple modalities of teaching, since most students have multiple modalities of learning. My goal is to facilitate my students to become independent learners. I employ Socratic teaching methods. I don't give answers. That's too easy. I have found that students retain learning when they work through the solution. I offer students skills to ask questions about their world. I am fortunate to have multiple intelligence. Since an early age, I have been motivated to increase my knowledge base and skill levels. My desires have motivated me to earn a double majored BS in agriculture, an applied science, and a MS in biology. I taught laboratory classes while I was a student. I began working as a tutor in 1999. This motivated me to become teacher trained. I am an AVID certified tutor. I have tutored midd
