I am what you might call a camp kid. I grew up spending summers in the mountains, camping and hiking and when I grew older, working. The foundation of my leadership experience was built in the forrest. For six summers I worked as an outdoor educator and adventure guide, leading groups of students through week long trips into the natural world. I believe in experience as the greatest teacher. Students are empowered when they learn from their experience and begin to flourish in themselves. At university, my enthusiasm for the outdoors lead me to the arts. I took a particular interest in poetry and short stories and immersed myself in literary life at UCSD. I was often asked to facilitate writing workshops and discussion groups, and in doing so I've found tutoring to come quite naturally to me.

I'm a firm believer in positive reinforcement. I have dealt with my fair share of teachers who use shame as a motivator, but that only stalls students. Teaching students WHY helps them understand HOW, and it works every time. I'm confident in this method's results. This is my first time tutoring professionally. However, it is not the first time I help others to learn. Even though I am only a college student (an English major, soon to be studying creative writing as a minor field), I have often volunteered at an elementary school in San Diego, where I worked with younger children. My tasks included administering tests, helping them with their work, and teaching proper study habits. Hopefully, I can take this little bit of experience and help any other students that need it. As an aspiring English professor, I know this will be a wonderful start to a career in teaching and of course, learn

My teaching style is not entirely concrete, for I feel that it depends on the maturity of the student and willingness to learn the subject at hand. I am very patient when I need to be, and my main goal is to simply make sure each student walks away knowing what they needed to learn. I am a 19 year old college student who is living in Murrieta for the next few summer months, and attends Cal State Fullerton. I have taken piano lessons for over 11 years now, and have a few years experience in teaching/tutoring in piano. My major concentration in college is Studio Art, and have also had experience in teaching art classes through M.A.D. Studio. Through experience in college and high school, I am also very familiar with Microsoft Office programs, and have helped those who are struggling in the newer editions of these MS programs.

I believe in positive reinforcement and encouragement and individually-applied methods to students (especially of course in a tutorial setting). Also, I believe in modeling hard work, a love of learning, and the like. What I think is crucial as well is showing and giving students tools to write and read better--to show them it is not a mysterious gift they have or do not have but that they can work and improve and succeed. As a past high school teacher for 10 years at La Jolla Country Day School, I primarily taught 11th grade English (American literature) but also 9th grade and 12th grade (Advanced Placement--mostly European lit.) as well as semester electives like Expository Writing. Also, I was the literary magazine advisor for many years. All through college I tutored (e.g., at the Study Skills Dept. at SDSU)/taught (freshman Composition during grad. school).

I have had a lengthy career as an English department head in two independent schools. Presently I enjoy one on one tutoring and academic coaching. Since I am a reading specialist, I can quickly assess what is needed for remediation and acceleration in reading. I can effectively assist students in all grades as I have written extensive curriculum in all grades. I can assist at college level. I presently teach college writing online and teach writing and literature in middle school in addition to my tutoring practice. I also teach English Language Learners. I have a Master's in Education and have completed all of the coursework for a Master's in Literature. I am currently writing a dissertation. My style is warm and interactive. I do not waste time. I can readily see what is needed and work very well as an adjunct to the student's course of study. I work with AP English and honors E

As an instructor, I preferred to set up a weekly system, so the students would know what to expect and what was due every time they walked in the door. I would start class with a free write to focus the students; then move to a lecture to support their assignments; next, I would have them break into groups to discuss the lecture and work on in-class assignments to further develop the lecture; and finally, come together at the end of class to open their group discussion to the class as a whole, and get everyone back on the same page, leaving them with assignments and reading for the next session. However, my favorite part was working with students in one on one conferences, because I felt the success was more immediate and productive. As a student at the university of Alabama, I was expected to complete my coursework and a book-length manuscript to satisfy the requirements necessary to gr

My goal in teaching is to ensure that my students have a strong understanding of the subject and do not just follow a formula or recite rote knowledge. In addition to explaining concepts, I like to use models and present example problems with which the student can demonstrate his grasp of the topic. If one explanation does not make sense to a student, I try different ones until it finally "clicks". I am a patient instructor and bring an enthusiastic attitude to teaching, since I've found through experience that the best teachers are those who communicate excitement and interest. I am a graduate student in materials science at UC San Diego, and a recent graduate of the California Institute of Technology with a BS in Mechanical Engineering. I have a broad and thorough understanding of math and physics, and to a lesser degree in chemistry and biology, as well as in more specialized subje
