I have taught elementary and middle school in small K-12 schools in Thorne Bay, Alaska and Prospect, Oregon. I gained more experience teaching elementary school in the Grants Pass School District as well as the Three Rivers School District in Grants Pass, Oregon. From there I moved to Vancouver, Washington where I taught behavior-disabled elementary students in a self-contained classroom in the Vancouver School District and middle school resource in the Evergreen School District, both of these very large districts.

I enjoy teaching and working with children and feel that it is important to understand that not all students learn the same way. I feel that my college experience has taught me to discover the ways I learn and understand things. In that sense I feel that all students have the potential to succeed if they acknowledge and become aware of their appropriate manner of learning. I think that being patient, compassionate and understanding is a must, which I feel I can bring fourth as a tutor and mentor. Doing community service in high school to my college years I have always enjoyed working and helping others because of the rewarding feeling that you can make a difference in someone's life. As a graduate of Sociology I have gained a lot of knowledge about how society functions. I was interested in this area of study to understand peoples because I have always had compassion for others.

My experience in the field of education began with my volunteer work during my junior and senior years of high school at an elementary school.During my junior and senior years at UCSB I tutored for the CAL-SOAP programs in a variety of different settings, including junior high and high school.

When learning is a positive, enjoyable, and rewarding experience for children, they learn material much more easily and they retain it much longer than they do when it's not. I make learning a rewarding experience for my students by genuinely acknowledging their effort and their progress; I make it enjoyable by often adding humor to my tutoring and by making it a game as well as a goal to be achieved; and I make learning a positive experience by affirming my students’ worth as unique human beings. Prior to becoming a tutor, I was a life coach for seven years. While I have worked with a variety of clients and have helped them achieve many different goals, my specialty has been helping people with chronic illnesses and emotional challenges such as depression and bipolar disorder heal their spirits so they can find peace and joy.

As a teacher, I try to empower my students to take responsibility for their actions and for their learning results. I try to lead them and to show them how and where to find the answers, but feel they learn best when they take the final step in the learning process and discover the answers with my guidance. The results are that they acquire not only knowledge, but the ability to process information and to solve problems. I am trained in teaching individuals with differences in learning styles, as well as in teaching English learners. I speak fluent French, am proficient in Spanish and Italian, and am passionate about French/France and English literature. I share this passion with my students. I have experience teaching French and English at the high school level at a private/Catholic high school in Ventura County. I have held this full-time teaching position for 2 years. Prio

It is always a thrill for me to work with a student and to help them achieve their goals. Each student is unique. The way in which they assimilate knowledge may also be unique. It is the skill of the teacher then to know what is the best approach to take with each student to help them discover their own inherent abilities. When a student also finds that the process of learning is enjoyable, it can foster a love for knowledge which will sustain them throughout their life. Life after all is an endless learning process and the more that we are open to learning and discovering, the more successful we will be in our lives. I have enjoyed a unique educational background, having been required to study all academic disciplines as an undergraduate. The benefits of this unique approach to education later inspired me to earn a Master's degree in the development of consciousness, which is th

I loved teaching in the classroom setting and will probably go back to that someday, but I have found a real passion and excitement these last two years working one-on-one with students. I enjoy getting to know students, discovering their strengths and weaknesses and using both to help them become lifetime learners. I feel strongly that students who struggle with reading, spelling and comprehension should receive special help at an early age and that the right methods can give them the skills they need to be successful in the future. I look forward to giving students the opportunity to succeed! I have a bachelor's degree in Liberal Studies with a science concentration and upon finishing my student teaching immediately took a full time job completing the remainder of the school year (March-June 2005) teaching middle school math. In September of 2005 I began teaching middle school science

In order to to be a successful teacher and to help others to succeed, a dedicated and disciplined teacher will gain the TRUST of his/her students by first LISTENING, always being willing to help, never standing in judgement or criticize, especially in front of others, and giving the students respect/credit to be able to learn! Also, each person learns in a different way/speed, some fast, others slower...all of the above is my teaching style, and to have the PATIENCE to individually help EVERYONE, no matter how fast/slow! ALWAYS BELIEVE in your students...they will BELIEVE in YOU! My teaching experience includes private/public/correctional schools (Florida Dept. of Corrections-State certified teacher,drug/alcohol counselor 1983-2000)...private tutoring (Reading,Writing,Math) with many happy,successful students of all ages/backgrounds (1965-present).

My objective as an educator is to be a compass that enlightens young minds, guiding them to discover hidden talents and deepen existing gifts. Mastery is best achieved through active learning, giving students a variety of individualized tools to measure, evaluate, and contribute to their global world. Students grasp the big picture better when ideas are linked across disciplines and connected to personal experience. Awakening knowledge in this way is my vocation. Interlochen Arts Academy unlocked the artist within me. Their educational styles and values continue to inspire me as an educator. Hope College and continuing education furthers me with a variety of tools to design curriculum. Versatility together with concentrations in both Painting and Clay, an appreciation for the liberal arts, diversified cultural environments, and vivid discourses have guided me to point out new direction
