I have helped children prepare for preschool through games and activities, and community college students brainstorm ideas for transfer essays. I am very organized, responsible and trustworthy. I have worked at a Montessori preschool and am comfortable using hands-on, creative methods for learning. Each student is different and learning approaches need to reflect that. I have worked with sensory-sensitive preschoolers, mentally challenged high school students, and ESL students ranging in age from 3 to 40. Whether they needed to learn how to tie their shoes, write an essay, the parts of an atom, how to use a conjunction, why the slope of a line is important, or how to write their name, I was there to help.
I worked at Moorpark College as an ESL and Writing Tutor, helping students discover ways to identify and clarify ideas, refine a topic, outline ideas, and develop the skills neede ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I volunteer for HOBY (Hugh O'Brian Youth Leadership Seminar) every year. This program pushes facilitation, which is what I strive to do. I like to try to facilitate and push my students to ask questions and talk to me as a peer. I always try to give at least three compliments to every criticism because students are often too hard on themselves. For some reason, most of the students I have worked with have had an English teacher along the line who has made them feel "stupid." It is amazing what boosting confidence can do! I like to understand where students are coming from and what their specific needs are so I can address them in a way that best fits their learning style and experiences.
I began working with children who were diagnosed with autism my first year of college (I did this for 7 years). I felt a sense of accomplishment as I watched them grow as people. I realized ... read more

More About This Tutor...

As long as I can remember, I wanted to be a teacher, especially a teacher of students who struggle to learn. I didn't begin school until I was 28 because I married my high school sweetheart and started a family. Once I started college at St. Mary of the Plains, I was completely enthralled with the curriculum, my teachers and the atmosphere! I'll never forget that feeling of the love of learning which I carry with me today. That's what I want to give my students, the gift of being passionate about learning.
I give my students the benefit of the doubt. In the beginning and throughout the school year, I assume that my students are giving me their best. It may not be at grade level, and may be sloppy and hard to read but it's what they can do right now. Then, the hard work begins! My students are so proud when a few short months later, they can write a little neater and it's more leg ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have been teaching both elementary education and special education (learning disabilities) for many years. I have also taught Read to Achieve for several years. I have tutored students in grades K-3 as well as special needs children. I have extensive extra hours in reading and language arts areas.
One of the things that keeps me in the teaching profession is my love and enjoyment of seeing children succeed. I am not happy until the children have confidence and know that they are able to do what they need to do competently. I am trustworthy, patient and willing to try various methods to help the child. I always assess before I continue with tutoring to see what will best meet the needs of the individual child. I use a variety of methods in order for the child to be successful. I am a firm believer that anyone can achieve with a little extra time if necessary.

More About This Tutor...

As long as I can remember, I have loved learning and working with children. Although, I began my higher education pursuits by obtaining a bachelor's degree in Communication, I quickly realized what I truly wanted to do was teach. So, I returned to school and obtained my teaching license in elementary education. I have been working with children in public and private schools and daycare settings ever since. I have primarily worked with children in preschool-5th grade, and am very comfortable with these age groups. I particularly enjoy teaching reading, writing, social studies, mathematics and the arts.
I love teaching and working with children. This is my passion, and I firmly believe all children can and will learn, given the appropriate instuction and resources to succeed. I am patient, easygoing, and like to make learning as fun as possible. I am available to work with your ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

It is my job as an instructor to act as a facilitator for the students, and to adapt the curriculum so that it is accessible to ALL students. Consequently, I subscribe to an experientialist approach to teaching, in that children need to experience in order to maximize their learning.
During my master's program for educational psychology, I realized that I had to teach and work with children who had identified needs. In the middle of completing my Master's, I began teaching Special Education in an inner-city middle school. I was responsible for adapting curriculum to meet the individual needs of students, implementing accommodations and modifications, co-teaching, as well as acting as a case manager. During that time, I was able to act as a change agent by changing the type of services that were provided from pull-out to inclusion. I worked with sixth, seventh, and eighth grade ... read more
