I make learning interesting.

I believe in hands on learning. I found out the best way you learn and help you discover your strengths for learning.
As a lifetime learner, I like to share my love of learning with others. My specialty is helping those who have difficulty learning something. I love math but like to teach it so it can be applied to life situations. I believe technology can help us learn but can also overwhelm us. As a special education classroom teacher for two years, test scores for special education students also went up for two years.

Let me cut to the chase right up front. I’m not going to shower you with a laundry list of credentials, degrees, accreditations, or dazzle you with a stellar employment background. What I will do, however, is tell you that I am a successful, published novelist. Three of my novels are published through a major house, and my literary agent is currently negotiating a deal for my fourth novel. I’ve sold over 150,000 books and as much as I love writing, there is nothing that fulfills me more than coaching a student with raw talent and watching them grow into a successful writer. There are hundreds of creative writing teachers in the world. But few have successful track records as published novelists. If you’re searching for a tutor to teach you grammar, sentence structure, punctuation, and spelling, you might want to look elsewhere. However, if your goal is to truly learn the art of writing, ... read more

I am currently a professional journalist, but spent almost 10 years in three different California school districts. I write for two different newspapers in San Diego, as well as a local television station. I am well-versed in grammar, punctuation, spelling and all other aspects of creative writing. But most importantly, I have many years of teaching experience, as well as children of my own, and understand the fundamentals of teaching students and making sure there is proper retention of the lesson.
My teaching style is determined by the needs of the student, but I have a multitude of effective methods to improve and develop writing skills for a variety of learners.

Writing is one of my top subjects! Both Linguistics and History gave me much experience with writing as also the private tutoring I provided while I was in university.

Graduated with honors in 2010 from SDSU with a BA in Linguistics and an TESL certificate. I double-minored in History and Geography. Worked at American Language Institute (ALI) before and after graduation as a facilitator (assistant instructor). Graduated from Mesa Community College in 2007 with an associates degree in Social Science.
I take a systematic "nuts and bolts" approach that gives the student the basic building blocks so that they may become a partner in the integrative learning process that involves figuring out how to properly structure, connect & apply these integrations to form new building blocks, and so on to wider & wider integrations & applications.

Fun, high-quality, experienced tutoring

Before becoming a Speech Language Pathologist 7 years ago, , I worked with children with learning disabilities with another speech path, as a tutor, special education aide, liaison for children with learning disabilities in a private school helping to modify curriculum and at Lindamood-Bell. I have 20 years of experience with students with educational needs. Although I have focused on speech for the last few years, I love math and miss helping students learn to love it too.
I like to make learning fun while working hard.

I believe that each person, whether a child or an adult, possess certain unique qualities and learning styles. With this in mind, I tailor my teaching skill sets to the student's learning style, while incorporating innovative techniques to maximize their learning potential. Mediocrity is not an acceptable norm. I will do my best to help my student to achieve his/her best while doing so in a friendly and respectful environment.
It is my sincere belief that one person can make a difference. It is with this in mind that I signed-up to be a substitute teacher and also to volunteer my services with Lake County to tutor basic literacy and ESL to those in need of these services. I worked as a substitute teacher from November 2004 until February of 2006. I also have experience at Literacy Volunteers of America tutoring ESL students. Learning is a lifelong process and I hope to foster and ... read more

I have been a credentialed teacher for 4 years. I work primarily with students with moderate/severe disabilities. Previously, I was a teacher's aid, tutor and daycare worker. I am credentialed in both general education and special education. I have experience working with a wide variety of learners in all subject areas. I have worked with students who are simply trying to get ahead in school, students who are falling behind and need homework help, students who are about to be retained, to students who are significantly delayed and are on their own curriculum program. My special education background allows me to support all levels of students and support different learning styles.
I prefer to provide students with hands on and/or visual tools during learning when possible. I like to make the educational topic meaningful and interesting to the student.
