Computer Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Hinkley, CA

My diverse educational and professional background has enabled me to be able to apply very practical applications to seemingly comlex mathmatical learning steps. As a manager/owner of several small businesses over my career, I have had to help develop employees into more productive workers by helping them with basic educational tools and life skills. My journalism experience, coupled with a strong business acumen and a Certified Financial Planner designation affords me a vast tool kit from which relate to my students. I enjoy the challenge of teaching and coaching. Finding a level of communication, exploring the deficiency and then applying practical examples to improve the internal understanding of the concepts is my approach to one on one tutoring.

The foundation of my philosophical approach to teaching is that every student can learn. With that theory in mind, practice in the field of teaching has also shown me that actual acquisition of knowledge is a direct function of teacher effectiveness, student motivation, and student support. My style of teaching can best be described as student-centered. Every student learns differently. It is the teacher's responsibility to: 1. Adapt curriculum and lesson planning to the individual needs of all students; 2. Use student assessment as a guide to assessing teacher effectiveness; and 3. Evaluate teaching methods to find ways to re-teach the content. I hold a Multiple Subject Teaching Credential, TESOL Certificate, and a Bachelor of Arts degree in Liberal Studies, Elementary Education. I have taught elementary, university composition, and working adult students. I have also participated i

I love to teach with all my heart. I enjoy teaching children, teenagers, and adults and having the feeling that they were able to learn something new. Plato once stated, “The direction in which education starts a man will determine his future in life.” If children start out with a solid education, it sets them on a course for success. I believe that all students have the potential to become great, with a little help from the people around them. I am patient and nurturing and I hope that i will become a good role model for my students, drawing out the potential they naturally have inside of themselves. I attended private school throughout high school, and benefitted from a smaller group environment and a more focused academic career. When entering college, I enjoyed all areas of academics, especially English and Psychology and have always had a high motivation for success. I have e

Kids need to feel comfortable and safe with the person who is working with them in order to relax and just try. I start where the student is and help move forward form there. I will repeat, show, explain in different ways, and validate the student's progress as many times as it takes. I can recognize the teaching moments, and I identify the missing pieces that will turn the light on for the key concepts. I love working with all ages, including adult learners and persons with disabilities. I became a Teacher as a second career after working in the field of psychology/counseling.

I use Socratic questioning strategies and experiential learning to ensure that students understand why a concept applies rather than just memorizing formulas. I use manipulatives and visual aids to ensure that multiple modalities are integrated. I work with the whole student as a person, identifying how the student learns and teaching the student how to adapt various teaching styles to his/her learning style. I have 9 years of experience teaching high school; all courses - AP Calculus, pre-calculus, algebra 2, geometry, algebra, pre-algebra (including special needs and english learners), and practical applications.

I have worked variously as a technical writer and editor, substitute teacher, and computer technician, but always returned to teaching. I possess a single subject credential in English, and I have recently completed a Master’s Degree in Cross-Cultural Education at National University where I maintained a 3.9 GPA in my graduate studies. My capstone project on the effects of test-preparation strategies on English language learners was one of the most rewarding projects I have completed and I strive to put that knowledge to use to help students do their very best on high-stakes standardized testing. To continue forward with my learning I am now enrolled in an Educational Technology certificate program through National University as well.

I love to watch children learn and ask questions to become more knowledgeable of the world they live in and discover what interests they might have for the future. I believe that if a child needs additional help in learning the resources should be available to them so that they will not fall behind in their class.

I have good grammar, writing, and reading skills and I am proficient in Microsoft Word, Excel, and other Windows based programs.

I am a California State University, Los Angeles graduate, holding a BA in English, with a specific focus on clasroom teaching. Throughout high school and college, I was driven to assist my peers, using my knowledge to ensure that they understood the subject matter and would succeed in any academic endeavors. As a nanny, I have several years experience teaching small children to read. I am also well versed in theatre arts, dance, and world history. I believe that an open dialogue is a teacher's most needed resource. Any child needs to feel as though he or she can express concerns or apprehensions without the fear of feeling embarrassed or stupid. I truly believe that there is no such thing as a stupid question. Teaching should, of course, relay necessary information, but it should also foster a student's drive to succeed, as well as the knowledge that any goal can be reached through perse

I love teaching! Seeing a student’s eyes light up, as they first understand a new concept, is very rewarding. I am a very patient and easy-going, yet focused. I take the time to be sure a student truly understands something before we progress. I feel that instruction needs to be tailored to the student. Every student has the potential to achieve if taught in a way that meets his or her needs. Though I am very familiar with the traditional teaching style of direct instruction, I am learning the value of a constructivist approach. A student learns so much more when concepts are relevant to them and when they do the discovering themselves. I am incorporating more discovery-based teaching methods into my skills set. As a student in a Multiple Subject teaching credential program, I have developed my passion for teaching into the skills necessary for encouraging student success. As a
