I obtained my bachelors degree in Computer Science and my teaching credential. For the last 8 years I have been a teacher. I have spent 5 years teaching math at the Junior High and High School Level. This past summer I spent teaching Algebra to High School Students, most of whom had been unsuccessful before. Those students were very successful. I have had experience working with students that under achieve. I get satisfaction in seeing students succeed. A good environment is essential to learning. A rich learning environment that cares about the deficiency needs so that intellectual achievement may occur. They will know where they stand. Students will have ideas. Those ideas will be considered valuable. Modeling and scaffolding will be used to create a foundation for learning. The success will create more motivation. Wait time will increase so students can make better responses. Const

I began tutoring during my senior year of high school as a favor for a family friend. I soon realized the demand for private tutoring services and began taking it more seriously. While attaining my Bachelor of Science degree in biochemistry, I would frequently tutor friends who needed extra assistance. Years of laboratory experience allowed me to gain an understanding of scientific writing styles, and to expand my writing and researching techniques. After completing my university studies, I began tutoring many students from my local high in various math topics. My teaching style can be described as casual and comfortable. Students who are having problems understanding certain concepts are better able to grasp difficult ideas when they feel they are in a comfortable environment where they are free to ask questions and discuss their problems openly. My goal is to be informative and h

Since graduating from highschool, I have had the desire to encourage and expand the knowledge base and love of learning for each student in my care. Having grown up in multiple countries, I am fluent in English, Spanish, French and have a MA in Christian Education. In my 11 1/2 years as an educator, I have taught every subject in elementary school, with an emphasis on arithmetic, history, science, reading, composition and grammar. In highschool, I have taught history, writing, composition and logic. I currently homeschool my two daughters, who are in 3rd and 5th grade. I am a firm believer that each child is special and distinct and each should be approached differently in order to achieve the maximum results. My goal is to instill in each student a love of learning which will benefit them for the rest of their studies and lives, not just through their current difficulty. Every stu

During my time in college, I switched to become an educator as I discovered a passion to see the lives of children transformed. During my process of gaining my BS in Physical Education, I worked with many after school programs and taught both elementary and high school during my student teaching. Since college, I have taught and worked with children and youth around the world and currently volunteer in my local community, heading up an after school program that focuses on tutoring K-8th grade. My greatest strength lies with my patience with children and flexibility to see what style of learning enables the child to best master the subject. I desire to lead children in finding the answer which will not only teach them the subject they are learning, but will enable them to reason and find the answers in other classes as well. It is simple to teach a child to memorize but to teach a chi

My experience with teaching began in 2004 as a volunteer for William Saroyan Elementary School in Fresno, CA. I went on to graduate from CSUFresno with a Bachelor's Degree in Biology; Science is my passion and I believe our young students are in dire need of mentors who are dedicated to show them the world. As an Undergraduate, I volunteered as a librarian, and tutor. In 2009, I was employed by Americorps and was required to teach Science, Math, and English to 4th- 6th graders for eight weeks. In early 2010, I decided to further my career goal by pursuing a Master's in Education, for which I will begin my first class session in the summer 0f 2011. For me, relating to children is effortless; I am quite apt to quickly gaining their attention as well as their confidence. Sadly, many students face the challenge of losing focus; as a teacher, I hope to be able to instill unwavering motivatio

As long as I could remember academics have come quite easily to me, from elementary school to current classes in college. Prior to this year I've only helped out my sister extensively as she has had problems understanding most teacher's methods. I understand nearly every aspect of math up to Algebra II along with most English, philosophy, and psychology classes and have helped people that I shared a class with in all mentioned areas. Since I'm not a teacher and don't follow a schedule or have designated hours, I feel like I can be a lot more patient and easy going with students. I'd like to pride myself in how well I can take a complex idea and break it down into its sub-parts and explain it simplistically. While in a class, students may not get the attention they require, which is why I like working one on one or in small groups as that way I can get a feel of what each student needs to

I have earned BS in chemistry and MS in computer science. I am able to tutor students in math, chemistry, and computer programming. My only goal is to make sure students understand the subjects well and satisfy my work. First of all I love to teach and work together with parents and students. If you have questions, I have answers. I am not just having those answers for students, I will find out why students have those questions.

I have known that teaching is my calling since I was a Freshman in high school. Learning how everything works has always facinated me and sharing that has been equally rewarding. I believe that learning can be fun when it is relevant and interactive. Students have to be given a vested interest in the learning process, asked questions. An environment of trust in which student's inquiry is encouraged is the best way of learning. Moreover, I thing that teachers have to use complementing mediums for teaching (ie. Visual aids, sensory aids, stories,music, etc.). I'm a senior at Fresno State, soon I will have a B.A. in History, which certifies my ability to research, analyze, and write proficiently. Besides having attained writing skills and expertise in the Social Sciences, I have continually improved my knowledge in several academic fields out of my own initiative; I have honed my skil

I am a very down to earth person especially when it comes to kids. I always try to lighten up the mood and make learning things interesting and fun. I don't like to dismiss when I see a child having trouble in something. Every person has a different way of learning, I try to cater to each of their needs. I have tutored children in reading last summer. It was one of the most gratifying things I have done. I worked with English as second language children ranging from ages 5 to 13. We used a lesson plan and several activities to help children in achieving their reading level goals. Also, in my undergrad experience, I excelled in writing and was very good with meeting deadlines.

I am driven to have all students learn in different ways. My goal is to make sure the students have the understanding of what is expected of them in the educational system. I enjoy seeing the expession on the students face once they finally understand a concept they didn't think they were able to conquer. I was a tutor/liaison for the Native American community in a secondary setting. Working with different social and economic settings, I have become culturally sensitive of the different ethics, ways of teaching and learning using different tactics in teaching.

Throughout my high school career I maintained a GPA of at least 3.5. The same can be said for my college career so far. By majoring in Liberal Studies, I have gained an extensive knowledge of teaching methods as well as the ability to teach many different types of learners. I have put this knowledge and ability to use both last semester and this semester by tutoring students at Fresno State. This semester, many of my students have learning disabilities. Last semester, every student I worked with passed the class we were working on. It is my belief that teaching is an honor and a passion, not a profession. Everyone has a different learning style and teaching to an individual is very important. I also believe that teaching is as much a method of guidance as much as it is a method of instruction. Often times, students will learn on their own if you give them the opportunity for expl

I have had the opportunity to assist with the teaching of multiple subjects to many diverse groups with different learning styles. As a member of the educational community, it is my responsibility and joy to support all facets of academia. I am an avid writer and have acted as Editor-in-Chief of a Fresno State bi-monthly publication for almost three years. I have also assisted numerous students in developing and writing papers. My strength is writing and includes brainstorming, research, grammar, and structure. I love working with children from all cultural and educational backgrounds.

It is essential to build repoire with every student. Every child learns various strategies to help them learn the subject. Fortunately, it is my duty to assist the student to build their knowledge by incorporating exciting hands on, visual, and auditory learning strategies that create long lasting learning in which helps them to use their knowledge out-side the classroom.

I was a math tutor at "Math Crazy" for about 2 years. It's located near Clovis West High School in Fresno on Teague and Milbrook. The highest math class I tutored was Pre-Calculus. I got a 4 on my AP Calculus Exam, and currently I am enrolled in Math 81 (Differential Equations and Linear Algebra) at California State University-Fresno, last math class for my Civil Engineering major. So far, I got straight A's in my math classes and I plan on taking two more math classes to get a minor in Math. I love Math and I love tutoring it. I like using different methods to approach the same problem as I believe that everyone grasps knowledge in their own way. To work better with kids, I like to know them a little better before I begin to tutor them. I am available to help your child achieve success in his/her career; my goal is to provide the best education possible.

I love teaching Mathematics and I am very patient with my student in the learning process. Before I start teaching my class used a motivational story about me to encourage my student and this make my student very eager to learn. This approach had work pretty well in the past and I am very sure it can work in all situation. Beside all this get to know my student one by one and their challenges in learning Mathematics which helps me to proffer solution for their learning short comings. I was motivated by my passion for Mathematics and excellent approach my teachers used to teach me back in the days. My understanding of Mathematics and history of the early Mathematician made me to major in Mathematics. With bachelor in Mathematics I have taught a NABTEB certificate class for year, 85% of my student that sat for the exams passed and 80% of those that pass also pass their University entrance
