You Will Meet Your Learning Goals with Me!

I have been a dynamic, successful elementary, middle and high school teacher as well as college instructor of Art, English, French and History for many years. I also taught in a two way language immersion school ( English and Spanish) for six years so I can teach Beginning and Intermediate levels of Spanish. While teaching, I have always taken courses in the best practices of teaching as well as courses in subject matter content. I have tutored people of all ages, learning styles and needs in a range of subject matter, including testing; I ascertain how each student learns best to develop the most fitting, effective teaching strategies for them. I am considered a Master teacher as I train other teachers about best practices and have also been recognized as "Teacher of the Year.”
I believe learning should always be engaging and meaningful. It is critical to address individual studen ... read more

Success isn't give, it's earned. You can Succeed!

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.

Make school work.

I have been in education for 16 years. I specialize in working with students with ADD/ADHD, specific learning disabilities as well as students who underachieve. I have a Master's Degree in Special Education and have successfully worked with students all over the Bay Area to help them realize their full potential.
Not all students are successful and the trick is to identify the reasons behind the lack of success. The issues that students have with school are diverse; procrastination, lack of organization, failure to plan, lack of awareness, ineffective habits, learning disabilities, and differences are all possible explanations for school failure. I work with students one on one to help them pinpoint where things break down for them and then work with them to find strategies to help them manage the skills and material they are asked to learn and master. I am there to guide, not ... read more

I have been an employee of the Solano County Office of Education working with Special needs students for the last ten years as a Para Educator. Given the population, I have not used my Black Studies or Creative Writing experience in this position. Though, I have a great desire to work in a field that allows me to use my degree. Also, I have passed the CBEST and am interested in completing the English CSET to obtain a teaching degree in the future.

A Little Bit About Me...

I like teaching. I like teaching individuals. I enjoy the challenge of adapting my style and my information to the unique set of skills and experiences that each individual brings along with them. No two people are alike. So I try not to teach each student as if she is just like the last guy. What is called the "Affective Filter" is what I deal with most: that is the part of each student that is unwilling to try. Many people are uncomfortable with anything having to do with Math, for instance. So, I try to make the session as comfortable as possible. I guess you could say that I try to figure out what your comfort zone is, and what your goals are, and then push you just a little bit out of one and towards the other.
I left the business world in 1999 to make good on my goal of completing my degree and teaching. I wanted the strongest foundation possible, so I chose General Studies, ... read more

I have earned a bachelor degree in nursing, and subsequently worked as a nurse for four years. I earned master degrees in psychology and business administration. I was admitted into Psi Chi National Honor Society for Psychology. I successfully obtained my Doctorate of Psychology degree in clinical psychology. During my tenure as a graduate student, I worked as an adjunct faculty member and conducted didactics on topics such as emotional intelligence, problem solving and public speaking.
I approach teaching using a facilitator style. I believe in enabling my students by encouraging critical thinking through didactic and experential activities. I also value being flexible in learning because it not only allows students to grasp a new way of understanding information, it also enhances their approach to learning. I believe that the hallmark of teaching is the relationship that I am abl ... read more

I love to tutor because it gives me an opportunity to help students build their skills and to teach them that they have the ability to learn anything,they want to learn and are willing to put their mind, determination and dedication into. I strongly believe that most if not all students are capable of learning anything they truely desire to learn, if they are willing to work hard and be determined to acquire the knowledge. I believe that this is possible with a teacher or tutor that has the skills and dedication to transfer their knowledge or drive for knowledge to their students.
My Teaching Style is to build a relationship with the student and their family. That is based on trust, confidence and a great deal of praise. Everyones performance is driven by the encouragement that they get on a daily basis. So a very important part of my teaching style is to include the whole family. ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a lifelong learner, I'm always motivated by students who have a curiosity for improving their own skills. I have a BA in liberal arts from Vassar College and a MS in Education from Queens College, which I earned through the full-time work/part-time study New York City Teaching Fellowship. I am fluent in Spanish, conversant in Japanese and French, and am always excited about learning more languages. As a special education teacher, I've worked with large classrooms, team taught with colleagues, and overseen the development of children with more severe disabilities in reading, writing, and math.
I believe that education should be tailored to the needs, abilities, and learning styles of each student. I believe in consistent positive reinforcement and praise, and in tracking and measuring skills so that students have evidence of their progress. I hope to help students discover the in ... read more

I have taught/tutored/mentored/and used a one-2-one teaching style to make teaching fun for my students and I. If my students are comfortable then obtaining results will be fun. My experience has been all about what makes my students want to learn and how I can help them become successful. I want to make teaching and obtaining results more fun and easy. I have spend over 20 years in the field of education in Ravenswood City School District. I believe in allowing students to achieve results the best way a student can (ON HIS OWN) by using his/her BRAIN. Sometimes personal expression is the way and sometimes expressing themselves in a positive way is another way but all come down to the end result.
I believe in THE BRAIN-THINKING-EXPRESSION AND DOING YOUR WORK. I believe in introduction and showing examples of what needs to be done and then letting them go to achieve t ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My doctoral dissertation examined college-level remedial reading and writing students in an effort to determine if adding online instruction to traditional instruction would improve student performance. My dissertation explored five hypotheses, and I found statistical significance in all five; thereby supporting the notion that adding online instruction to traditional instruction can improve student learning. While I was a doctoral student, I was also a Merit Scholar. In addition to my teaching, I have also tutored elementary, high school, and college students in reading, writing, and the understanding of Literature. I have also worked a great deal with ESL students.
My love of teaching is stimulated most when working with students who require the most assistance. Through my study in Educational Psychology, I have learned that all students have their own learning styles; I am able ... read more
