More About This Tutor...

In order for students to retain what they learn, I beleive that academics should be interesting and applicable to real life. I also understand that not all students learn alike. Mentoring students in sports and academics has enabled me to adjust to the learning style of the individual. I am compassionate and dedicated to the needs of the student and understand that learning can be frustrating at times. I can help students succeed in academics, offer them encouragement, and jump start their futures.
Over the last nine years I have pushed myself to succeed in academics. In 2010 I graduated with my masters degree in biology. During this time, I gained a strong understanding in many areas of science and math. I have experience writing research papers, laboratory reports, abstracts, grants, and oral and poster presentations. I have mentored students of all ages in science and statistics ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Working with students one on one is an ideal situation which allows me to help a child fluorish and learn. I am available to help your child find their most comfortable ways of learning, and to construct an atmosphere where they feel comfortable sharing their difficulties as well as their success. Research has shown that children will rise to our expectations, and I will expect, through our teamwork, that your child will succeed.
As a Masters level teacher I was very much driven to achieve a level of excellence in my teaching methodologies. I have earned a BS in Education and a Master of Arts in Education with a Supervision Endorsement, which enabled me to gain understanding in many areas of sequential learning for elementary children. During my 11 years as a public school educator I took more courses in language, inquiry-based learning, and hands on science strategies.

More About This Tutor...

I like to build relationships with children. I use a great deal of humor and positive feedback. I work to build a child's self esteem and feel that is essential. I assess each student's academic level and plan accordingly. I assess each student's learning style and plan learning activities around that. I love to use creative experiences with children incorporating imagination and art! I like to make learning fun! I like to target specific skill areas that the child needs help with and celebrate with them when they overcome a learning obstacle! I like to encourage them to THINK!
I have taught grades first through sixth in Phoenix, Oregon and in Redmond, Oregon. I taught in two magnet programs, one was with an emphasis on early childhood best practices with a focus on literature, writing, and creative projects. The other was with intermediate grades using Mini Society, a prog ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I believe that the most important element of teaching and tutoring is the ability to vary one's teaching style to meet the learning style of a student. I am patient and comfortable explaining things multiple times and in multiple ways. I believe I have the creativity to help any student find a way to make sense of his or her material. I believe firmly in experiential education, in which subject matter becomes alive to the learner through activities or other practical approaches. I believe that students with all ability levels can master the subject matter with the proper support and the right approach and I believe that I am perceptive enough to be able to find such an approach for any student.
I have worked as a tutor since I was sixteen years old, first as a peer tutor, and then in various contexts following my college graduation. I have experience working with learners at varyin ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

In addition to completing accounting courses for my B.S. in Accounting, I completed two courses in Child Development and Education, and all college level math courses through Calculus. I have tutored students in math since 1989. At Juniper Elementary in Bend, OR, I was a Good News Club teacher and volunteered as a reading specialist working to improve reading skills of struggling students. I also teach music lessons, group and individual. I received teacher training through CEF. With my love for teaching, I have enjoyed the honor of homeschooling my 4 children who test as gifted and talented and exceed in all areas on their testing.
As an advanced student in highschool algebra, my teacher chose me to tutor one struggling athlete and one girl trying to raise her B to an A for acceptance to an Ivy League University. In discovering their different learning styles, I was able to t ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Learning is like a puzzle or a code, and I enjoy the reaction of students when they finally solve the puzzle, or decipher the code. I try to show the student the practical application of the subject, and then make them enjoy their time learning. I love seeing the joy of the "Aha!" moment. I hope to establish enough of a relationship with my students to be able to identify what methods will work best. I helped my three children with their homework, and learned the benefit of using a style most suitable to their individual personalities.
My teaching experience has all been in volunteer roles. I taught Sunday School class and Youth Group at New Hope Church in Bend for grades 5 through 12. I have recently applied for and been accepted as a mentor in the Deschutes County COPY (Central Oregon Partnership for Youth) program, and have gone through a 6-hour mentorship training program ... read more

I have been working with children since obtaining my teaching degree in 1981. My experience has given me the expertise to work with a variety of children, manage a classroom, work well with others and deal with parents effectively. I have worked as a Special Education teacher in an autism program, been a substitute teacher in various elementary schools and a Director/Teacher in four preschool and childcare centers. The positions I have held have given me the opportunity to work with a diverse group of people. During my career I have attended seminars and workshops to improve my teaching abilities.
After over 20 years of experience I know that children are different and possess unique qualities and various skills. They learn at different rates, have different interests and sometimes need different approaches to teaching. I know all children can learn and it is a joy to see that lear ... read more

I am a firm believer in demanding excellence from my students. Also, without a goal one cannot achieve anything; therefore we set challenging goals, and utilize every resource in our capacity to achieve those goals. To take the student on the most challenging course as an educator sometimes we must take the course with them. Rather than teach to the student, we immerse ourselves into the lesson as a learner and play the inquisitive intellectual, prodding ideas and eagerness from our students. We as educators cease not to be students, and when we succeed in educating our students we are rewarded with playing the role of student and listening and learning from the student-generated inquiry..
So far, I have gained insight into the inquisitive and intellectual critique of humanity in studying anthropology at the undergraduate level. My studies opened me to living as well as work ... read more

I believe in diversity in teaching styles because each student is unique and each has different abilities in various areas. As a substitute in the Woodburn School district I could pick up material quickly and teach in various teaching styles depending on the classroom.
After graduation, I taught on a transitional teaching license. I taught in the Woodburn School District. I then went to Japan and taught English as a second language. I grew up between Bolivia and the United States and speak Spanish and English fluently. I took statistics in university and taught math in Spanish from time to time as a substitute for the Woodburn School District. In Woodburn I taught a self contained classroom for a while. I had to teach ELL students Social Studies, Math, Language arts in both Spanish and English and science. As a substitute I taught all kinds of classrooms including all su ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am truly passionate about working with children and helping them learn. I am patient with each child I work with. I hold them accountable for their own learning and success. I am not looking for them to always get the answer right, but rather to think and try 100% of the time. Sometimes we just don’t know the answer and that is ok. I believe in having fun with my students and allowing them to have fun while we work. Having fun while they work will likely lead to them being willing to work hard and learn new skills. I also believe in celebrating each new success, no matter how big or small that success may be.
I hold a Bachelors degree from Eastern Oregon University with a major in Elementary Education and a minor in English Discourse. I have been employed by the Redmond School District at the elementary level for the past 3 years as a reading instructor. I work with small groups, ... read more
