I work through positive behavior supports, humor and style to motivate the student to understand the need to learn the core subject matter in order to proceed through high school. I am excellent at reading the needs of the student and creating lessons that are relevant, interesting and fun. I have taught all core subjects plus art history for over 20 years using various state mandated materials and supplementals I purchased through special ed catalogs. Student outcomes were best with the supplementals due to limited attention span and high interest-low level materials. I use various methods to determine mastery- I create my own written or verbal assessments, writing assignments and have students maintain learning journals. I have a background in educational psychology which is useful in dealing with students with behavioral issues.

My 5 years as a United States Marine established important core values such as tact, integrity, discipline, and commitment. I bring these values with me into the classroom. I believe that the success of a student depends more on their level of commitment than on inherent talent. However, learning must be an enjoyable experience in order for a strong commitment to be made. I am passionate about mathematics and the sciences, and this passion shows in my teaching style. Students recognize this passion, and it makes the learning experience fun. I am patient, open-minded, and innovative; so if a student is struggling with a particular topic, I find an alternative teaching approach which better suits their learning style. The success of my students is gratifying, to both student and teacher alike. I have been a straight-A student my entire life and I recently graduated from the University of N

I love Mathematics and I often wear my heart on sleeve; when it comes to Math, I try to infect the student with that bug. I believe that most students have issues with their immediate teaching and, as a result, feel that math has no meaning to them, hence I teach Mathematics in a contextual manner, showing deep meaning for the drills imposed in the classroom curriculums most experience daily. I stress heuristic analysis techniques that have shown great results I have tutored HS 9-12 and undrgraduate students individually in Mathematics, Chemistry, Biology, Physics and for SAT/ACT testing since the late 1990's. I received teaching credentials for teaching 9-12 Mathematics in California in 2005. I have worked as a Math/Sciences substitute in the Grossmont Union High School District since that time. I have also worked with A+ Professional Tutoring -- in San Diego County -- and Tutor.com --

I have worked in education in some form since 1996 when I started as a campus supervisor at Twin Peaks Middle School. During the six years I worked at TPMS, I tutored students, co-facilitated support groups, and taught summer school classes. At Chapman University, I completed a BA in Social Science in 2002 and a single-subject credential in Social Science a year later. From 2003 to 2004 I worked as a substitute for the Poway Unified School District. I started a director position for the Sylvan Learning Centers in 2004 and learned how to modify existing programs and curricula to best suit the needs of my students. I continue to tutor privately and have worked with students in Algebra, History, test preparation, and essay writing. I am a dynamic, energetic instructor with high standards. My enthusiasm for teaching is obvious in the time and energy I spend to help my students succeed. I w

My teaching style is one of mutual respect and learning. I believe strongly in the principle of guidance to allow the student to reach her/his highest potential. I value the individual, and make use of creative resources that are tailored to fit the needs of the student as a person. I also take into account the multiple learning styles of each individual. I value the exchange on a humanistic and holistic level. Over the years, I have been able to utilize my communication and interpersonal skills in my work with diverse student populations in various teaching and mentoring capacities, as well as liaising with parents, other teachers/administrators, and the public. I have also had the opportunity to work with and assess students with learning disabilities, as well as adults with developmental disabilities. I am sensitive to the nuances of working with the unique needs of an diverse youth a

As a Master’s degree recipient in English, I have developed a comprehensive background in literature and composition. Moreover, my professional history includes many years of teaching and mentoring in both in the United States and abroad, which has enhanced my ability to communicate complex subject matter to a culturally varied student demographic. In Taipei, Taiwan, I prepared, facilitated and assessed English classes for local elementary, secondary, and adult Taiwanese students. While receiving my NCLB certified CLAD credential from SDSU, I served an inner-city population of students as a student teacher at San Diego High School, during which I had implemented and practiced effective teaching strategies to accommodate students with special needs and English Language Learners. I have since earned a CSET certification in general science and have designed technologically advanced units of

Instructed all physics laboratories at San Diego State University for calculus and non-calculus based physics courses. These courses included: Mechanics, Electricity and Magnetism, and Modern Physics. Instructed a physics courses under the MESA program. Instructed optics courses to US Air Force depot personnel. With respect to my teaching style, I liken it to a series of books written by Isaac Asimov entitled, Understanding Physics. These books have little math but explain the physical concepts in a story-like fashion. I find this very important because many physics books and instructors put too much emphasis on the mathematics and not enough on conveying the physical concepts. The result is a student who is unable to solve physics problems. First, the student must know the physical concept which then enables them to apply the correct mathematics in order to solve the problem

I love working with all children. Every child, adolescent, and adult have different learning capabilities. I am here to find which suits them the best. I want to help your child find academic success in all that they do. I believe that all children have the potential to succeed it's finding the method that works best for them. I am here to help. Through motivation and positivity, my goal is to make a difference in the lives of children. Knowing they can succeed, is the first step in becoming successful! As a graduate of PLNU, I always new that I wanted the challenge to teach High school. I have always been driven in education, whether is it working with youth in a camp setting or a class room setting. I feel that not everyone works well in a class room and that is okay.

I love working with all level of students. I never give up on my students and expect them to never give up on themselves. Building confidence in learners is key to my educational approach, and I try my best to be aware of frustration levels. Everyone learns a different way, and I believe it is my job to figure out my students’ best learning style. My main effort in teaching goes to having my students fully understand the subject they are learning, and feel open enough to ask any questions. A good educational foundation opens up a world of opportunity. Since knowing I wanted to teach my junior year of high school, education has been my passion. I went on to Sonoma State University where I earned my BA in Liberal Studies with a concentration in Kinesiology (PE). I then went on to Cal State San Marcos to obtain my Multiple Subject Teaching Credential. Since having my credential I have had t

I love math challenging myself and working with children (students). With my math skills and the patience I've acquired over the years, working with students will allow me to share those skills and knowledge with the next generation (the youth), and I believe that any student that I will get a chance to work with, will benefit from me, and I will do my best to contribute to their learning experience. I also believe that I will benefit from the students - as I am hoping that I will become a teacher myself in the near future. I have worked extensively with students in academics and many extracurricular activities for 5 years. I have worked with students as a teacher/tutor in math, oral language, reading, study skills, and writing. In addition, I worked as an Assistant Teacher for Audeo Charter School for 2 years.

I really enjoy working with students and I feel that education is the most important aspect of an individuals life. I have taught at John W. North High School in Riverside, Ca. One of my assignments was to fill in for an AP Statistics teacher while she was on maternity leave. Since that day I have feel in love with biostatistics and took all of my graduate level electives in Biostatistics courses. I enjoy both the one on one mentoring and also engaging students in small groups and as an entire classroom. The one on one mentoring gives me a feel for the best way for that particular student to learn, therefore I can adjust my teaching style to their strengths.
