Middle School Math Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in La Jolla, CA

I have always believed, in order to be a good teacher, you must teach to the varying needs of students and realize, not all children learn the same way. I am very versatile in my teaching strategies- if a program isn't working, I rely on data and feedback to adjust my teaching. I am also very creative and will strive to make learning challenging and fun! I have always enjoyed working with kids- it is rewarding to see young students experience the learning process. I've been a special education teacher for the past 3 years in a large school district in Omaha, Nebraska. There, I worked with all types of students with varying learning styles and disabilities. I lead many interventions and small groups in the areas of behavior skills, reading comprehension, writing, grammar and mathematics. I am trained in several intervention programs such as Do The Math, ABLLS, and Start-In. I already have

My unique teaching method is a combination of "Discovery" method when uniquely combined with the techniques of "Positive Reinforcement". This method of teaching mathematics is the same mode of instruction that was practiced by Socrates -"Socratic teaching"- and has an additional characteristic -"Positive Reinforcement"- that was proposed by the French philosopher Piaget. This combination is an excellent teaching method that guarantees understanding and retention of Mathematics by students of all ages. Have been teaching mathematics at high schools, colleges, and universities since 1981. I am an expert in teaching all mathematics courses offered at high schools and colleges, particularly all Algebra courses, Geometry, Trigonometry, Pre-Calculus, and Calculus I. Also, I have taught all Pre-College Mathematics courses to high school graduates. Although my highest college degree is not in Ma

I use an innovative mode of teaching Mathematics - about which I wrote my Dissertation - that is a unique combination of the "Socratic" or "Discovery Method" and "Positive Reinforcement" techniques.This approach enables students of all ages to think independently, become interested and eager to discover facts and solution methods and procedures of various Mathematical topics and problem solving procedures. This teaching mode helps the student(s) to become independent and "eager to learn Mathematics" individual(s). . I am a recently retired college and university Mathematics Professor, and have taught secondary school and "high school completion" Mathematics courses to the Navy Recruits as well. I have taught Mathematics courses to students of all ages: Elementary Schools(as a "Mathematics specialist"), Secondary Schools(Middle Schools/High Schools), through Colleges and Universities

Taught Math at BOOST(Broadened Opportunity for Officer Selection and Training), at NTC, and also, at SDSU's BEST(Basic Essential Skills AND talents) "Socratic" Discovery or "Discovery Method" uniquely combined with techniques of "Positive Reinforcement". I tarted tutoring Mathematics when I was a sophomore at College myself.I believe when one reads all the previous detailed information that I have given about my former "Discovery Teaching" and other related experience in Mathematics instruction ,training, and publications, at and for ALL LEVELS, it should be relatively evident that I AM ABLE TO PERFORM WELL as a tutor/Teacher/Instructor of the mentioned Mathematical topics. I have taught almost all Secondary schools, including ALL Mathematical topics and LEVELS(Elementary - "Socratic Method & Positive Reinforcement" Techniques, Secondary, Pre-College, College and University). I have my o

Bachelor's degree in Mathematics. I believe the best way to learn is hands on experience. If I don't find one way to help the student understand I will do my best to try another approach. I have 3 kids under 10, so I am patient with small children, but I expect them to be focused. Worked about the last 20 years in the actuarial field (short stint away to get my degree), which involves data analysis in excel and access and some programming. I received my bachelor's degree in Mathematics with a minor in statistics in December of 1998. While in school I graded lower division math papers for my teachers, I taught a basic programming language as well as ran a classroom for a virtual teacher (video taped class)

I like to make learning fun while working hard. 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.

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 or encourage this within my students. I recently completed my graduate degree and currently have flexibility with my schedule. Thank you for entrusting your child in my care for the hours that we will interact. 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 innovat

I have experience teaching and tutoring at various levels and locations, including several countries. Am flexible as to learning materials and methods depending on your time, availability, budget and resources. My main concern is how YOU can learn and retain better. Each student must understand (before integrating) their own strengths and weaknesses into their study skills and become a systematic achiever. I will assist and teach you how to empower yourself in the chosen topics. You will gain confidence in what you know (where you can excel), who you are (what drives you), what you really want (what profession/path/trade inspires you), and how to get where you want to be by creating and implementing a step to step plan to your goal(s)/success.

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. I believe in hands on learning. I found out the best way you learn and help you discover your strengths for learning.

My love of learning and teaching Math came after many years of trying to figure out what I wanted to be when I grew up. I have been tutoring Math at a technical school in San Diego for 7 years. Algebra, Trigonometry and Pre-Calculus are my areas of expertise. I’ve worked with students with diverse backgrounds, both academically and culturally. Personally, I have been attending Mesa and City College in order to obtain an Associate’s in Math. I have gotten A’s in all my classes and a B in Statistics. I have completed one of several required Calculus classes. I am the type of person that will stay up all night trying to solve a difficult problem. I would welcome the opportunity of working with you or your student. My teaching style begins with a calm and relaxed attitude. Once the student has established what he/she is having trouble with, I start going over some examples of exercises fr
