Live to Learn - Learn to Live!

Taught ESL for more than twenty-five years across Canada and internationally. Lived and taught in Japan, Mexico, Philippines, Costa Rica and United States. I was a teacher-trainer for Oxford Seminars, where I taught teacher-candidates how to teach ESL for international classrooms. I was responsible for instructing and then certifying teacher-candidates. I am a life-long artist, graduated from Laguna Beach High School, which was at the time a fine-art and performance school. I have more than ten years of community college Fine Arts experience and my minor in University was Fine Arts.
Dynamic, personable, enthusiastic and creative. I love using music, art, humor and even some acting in my teaching style, and I enjoy crafting fun and exciting lesson plans that engage my students in real-life scenarios where their new language skills may best benefit them.

Once taught a 7 year-old Korean boy Chinese when I was a sophomore---I found being a personal tutor is challenging and interesting, because you should adjust your teaching method cater to the student based on your observation on him/her as well as the communication through all the process. I had provided legal aids as a tutor of a relevant junior middle school--- It makes me more open and confident to give a presentation in the front of more people.

A Little Bit About Me...

As an artist, I recognize the importance of developing my own aesthetic language. As an educator, I am committed to clearly communicating and imparting these values. Both practices have continually motivated me to expand my knowledge of art techniques and processes as well as the dialogue of contemporary art. A good teacher must expose students to art history, engage them in contemporary art, and allow them to make meaningful connections to their own lives and art practices. Teaching constantly requires me to digest and reference outside influences and disciplines to support student’s diverse needs. Encouraging students to learn from each other and collaborate is an important part of my teaching method. Through this process, students are exposed to diverse perspectives constantly. This also creates an environment that is receptive to formal and informal critique. An investigation ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Speaking to children of all ages comes naturally to me. My parents both love being teachers and have been in the game for over 30 years a piece! I traveled to schools to give presentations on my marine mammal experiences to grades K-8. I currently work for the Education Department at the Saint Louis ZOO where we strive to keep learning a blast! I believe learning sticks when it's fun and stumbled upon! A GOOD teacher can be a gift and set a fire in a child or young adult to take on the world! I love sharing my passion for learning and understanding. I hope it's contagious!
I have always had a knack for the sciences and left the Midwest to follow my love of Marine Biology. While in school, I revisted my interest in the arts (painting, piano, and animation). It was then I realized I was passionate about so many topics and didn't want to limit myself to one thing! I've work ... read more

More About This Tutor...

While my area of expertise is physical education, I have gained great experience in other areas of education while searving as an in house substitute for Highland Elementary. Serving as an in house substitute provided me with experience working with large groups, as well as working with students on an individual basis. This experience also provided me with the wonderful opportunity to work with students with special needs. I have also served 2 years as a full time physical education teacher, which gave me an opportunity to interact with students and further understand the learning process.
I believe the biggest key to learning is finding a way for students to relate to the information. Getting to know the student and relating thier interests to the material at hand is key to making a connection. I also believe it is critical to remain positive and supportive with students.

During my junior and senior year in college, I TA’ed a finance class called options pricing for two semesters. Options pricing was a difficult subject. I worked very hard to receive an A- for the course, which turned out to be my favor. I had insight to the intellectual hurdles other students had to overcome to master the material. So, teaching them came very naturally. In addition, I abandoned the lecture format for a very interactive teaching format. This allowed the students to ask many questions and allowed me to gage the level of comprehension from in the students real-time.
Tutored inner-city and disadvantaged students in elementary English and math for 1 year. TA’ed undergraduate finance class, options pricing, for 1 year. Co-lead two Bible studies groups for one year; one of which was composed of students from a primarily Caucasian student fellowship as well as studen ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

After graduating from Duke University with a BS in Economics and a Minor in Psychology, I moved to New York City to work in a large financial institution. During my two years there I volunteered as a mentor and tutor to a 7th/8th grader, a college counselor to a high school senior, and a career mentor to a middle aged woman who had lost her job during the financial crisis. I have extensive experience with essay writing, test preparation, and mathematics. I have also studied both French and Italian and am capable in both.
I believe that one of the most important aspects of a successful teaching relationship is understanding both the student's personal learning style and what motivates him or her. I care deeply about the success of the students I work with and am able to adapt my teaching techniques to meet each student's personal needs. I strive to not only give my students greater ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Advocacy for the child is of utmost importance to me and working one on one with a child is a huge building block to enable the child to succeed. My attributes as a tutor are found in my gentle, fun loving, creative spirit. I am firm about learning and always follow protocol. I have an awareness and knowledge working with children who have learning disabilities, as both my children have learning challenges. Good communication skills and ingenuity have allowed me success with my students. Patience and perseverance coupled with care for the child are the basis for the tools I use to teach.
I have accumulated 92 credit hours toward a Bachelor of Science in Education with an emphasis in Art. Currently I am involved with the Y-Read volunteer program and for the past few years have tutored one on one with adolescent children specifically in Reading and Language Arts. I have 2 years exper ... read more
