I believe that with proper classroom management and an interesting delivery of lessons, every student has the potential to learn and achieve academic success. I use a number of methods to introduce the concepts to my students, including hands-on activities, use of manipulatives, computer generated presentations, role-playing, textbooks, video, etc. I feel that if I can find the proper modality along with allowing a student to explore on his own, then a student can achieve success in learning. My goal is to build a safe and stimulating learning environment, and to try to make learning interesting and fun during the challenging middle school years.
I am a certificated teacher with a multiple subject credential, presently working as a substitute teacher in Ontario/Montclair school district. I taught 6th grade math/science as a permanent teacher in LAUSD for 4 years. In addition, I hav ... read more

Tutoring is a profession which I have enjoyed for over nine years, often while teaching in the classroom or online, concurrently. I was able to teach multi-subjects to college students because I excelled in all subjects myself, receiving numerous scholarship awards and honors. I chose after school tutoring as my extra duty assignment while teaching middle school and high school. I enjoy tutoring students because I experience the moment of “Ah ha, now I get it!” with them.
I am eclectic in my approaches towards teaching, ranging from Montessori and Classroom Without Walls, to Behaviorist and Cognitive approaches. I use what is observable, measurable, and works. I am always prepared to pull a rabbit out of my hat, and I always prepare additional alternative lesson plans in case an approach does not seem doable. I begin tutor sessions with interviews to assess goals. The ultimate goa ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have worked with young people in educational settings for nearly 25 years and use that experience to guide, mentor and teach students so that they establish the academic foundation for learning and academic success. I have worked in the classroom as an elementary and middle school teacher as well as being a resource to high school students in preparing for high school exit exams and college entry standardized testing. I have also worked with special needs and ESL students who need added assistance to quickly acquire the knowledge and skills needed to keep pace with their peers. I am proficient in a broad range of subjects and am able to use standards based instruction so that the learning goals are appropriate and provide a structure for the students. I am very capable of engaging with children from kindergarten through high school in Math, Algebra, Geometry as well as English Language ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

All students can learn, but in different ways. I, for one, learn best by watching how something is done. I can read about it, or hear a lecture about it, but seeing it helps me understand the subject. This type of teaching would be done with movies, drawing or acting out the situation. In my teaching, I try to use all methods available to me to help the students learn and to use their creativity. I especially try to get students to work in groups and to share their work with each other. I find that pier groups provide the best help in understanding the subject matter. The classroom should be a learning place of activities and fun.
I started substitute teaching in 1983 while I was working on my Master's Degree at California State University, Long Beach. I have been a substitute teacher in Long Beach, Santa Barbara, Glendale, and Palm Springs. I have had experience as a long ... read more
