I have about 5 years experience working in Christian schools using ACE curriculum, alpha and omega, and, also B. James. I also studied in Mexico, so I am able to teach in Spanish and English. My strong areas and more current subjects are Elementary math, pre-algebra, Algebra I, Geometry and also some trigonometry. It's my desire to teach student how not to look at math and other subjects as just "another" subject but to learn how to apply to everyday problems and different areas of life. This adds another perspective to it. I love working with young people and bring out the best in them by surrounding them with possibility

I feel I learn as much as I teach. I value every student that I have the opportunity to work with. I have learned some students just need to overcoming their dislike of a subject. For others, a key subject building block had been built properly (as in Math) and as a result the rest of the information was sitting unstable in their minds. Finding where the support is needed and then working to solidify the skill then leads to greater confidence and greater academic achievement, Most students I work with appreciate that I am fair but firm. I want to succeed. It is a win-win. I have recently completed my MBA at national University. I currently teach high school part time at a alternative high school. This recent experience provided me with opportunity to work with students in a one-on-one basis as well as familiarize myself with every core class offered in the high school program. I feel

I have a very natural, relaxed teaching style. I nurture self-esteem and success. I believe that children are naturally creative, inquisitive, and avid learners. When they are nurtured, taught, and loving cared for and educated by adults in their lives, they soar to their greatest heights with enriched self esteem and excelling in knowledge of new tasks/skills based on their ability. I have always said that children are like sponges, they will absorb what they are able to comprehend at the time and a teacher must build on their successes. I always look for their “abilities” and then expand on them. Taught kindergarten-sixth grade . B.S. Psychology/Technology Management.

My teaching style is more socratic. I help students inquire and debate between facts with opposing viewpoints based on asking and answering questions to stimulate critical thinking and to illuminate ideas. This system is not designed to confuse students but to show them a straight way of dealing with axioms therefore not making bad decisions on standardized test. Usually the people that I tutor become leaders in their class thus improving test scores thus reaching their bottom line. I have worked as a student teaching assistant in private Ivy league boarding schools and I have taught in inner city urban setting. I have also had to the opportunity to take graduate chemistry courses both for credit and audit at University of California-San Diego, and San Diego State University and Tennessee State University.

I enjoy learning and teaching. My philosophy is to teach students how to learn so that they can eventually guide themselves and be self-motivated learners. My focus is on organizational methods, analysis and research skills, and effective structure. I have the ability to simplify and communicate more difficult concepts into easy to understand formats. I believe students must master the building blocks and basic ideas before being able to achieve greater understanding and abilities. I stress to students the value of what they are learning in order to properly motivate them. I attended university for 12 years. During my PhD studies I did interdiscliplinary research related to music in the areas of mathematics, linguistics, psychology, computer science, and others.

My teaching style is student-centered. This approach is two-fold. I use scaffolds to assist in the discovery process, but encourage students to truly perform the “learning” independently, better preparing them for future endeavors. I also focus my delivery and content around the students’ interests, skill-levels, and abilities. I believe everyone has the right to an education and modify accordingly. I am patient, humorous, and approachable. It is not my goal for the students to fear me; I want to be an authority figure that they respect but also trust. I encourage students to think outside of the box as well as raise them to higher standards and skill levels. I am passionate about education, reading, and writing, and it shows!

As a teacher my biggest thrill is helping students reach their goals with clear understanding. Not all students learn the same and so good teachers must have many stategies for diversity in the classroom. With verbal and social skills that elicit trust, I have an ability to teach students that others cannot. I don't ever attempt to mold the student to fit some preconception but rather help the student discover their strengths and deficiencies in such a way as to make their study less daunting and less mystifying. In this way the student will become a more successful learner. After a career as a highly successful jewelry designer and manufacturer I sold my company and became an English teacher. I have always been interested in literature and journalism and while at university I participated in theater and was managing editor for the school newspaper. I began my teaching career at one of

I really enjoy teaching and working with children of all ages. I know that children can excel at anything and we all have different learning styles. Co-partnering with parents is critical to success in their child(ren) education. Everyone should have the opportunity to succeed and should be provided the tools and the means to do so. I firmly believe this. Encouragement and enrichment is important. Not to mention a nurturing environment. I greatly feel that my job in life is help with passing on my knowledge to help others. I have earned two degrees, a bachelors degree in Business and Masters in Business and Information Technology which has provided me with outstanding experience and understanding in the math, reading comprehension areas.
