A Little Bit About Me...

My philosophy is that all children can learn. They may not learn at the same rate or in the same way, but everyone is capable of learning. As a teacher, I take pride in helping students discover their love for learning by using manipulatives and other fun learning activities. I realize that some students are visual learners, while others are kinesthetic or auditory learners. I like to set realistic goals for the children and help them acheive those goals, so they can feel confident in themselves and their abilities. My goal is for each of my students to feel like they are successful, so they can reach their highest potential.
Education has always been very important to me. I was a nanny all throughout college and discovered my love for teaching by helping the children I watched learn in a variety of exciting ways. I have a Bachelor's degree in Merchandising and a Minor in Ma ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style is straight and to the point. My goal is to make the kids understand that the only thing holding them back is themselves. Hard work and a desire to learn will win every time. I LOVE the moment when the kids "get it", when they become confident in learning.
When I entered college I was immediately drawn to tutor my peers as needed. I worked with the single mom's program at IVC and also did job coaching for the City of Long Beach Disabled program. Once I graduated from college I had the opportunity to join the Boys & Girls Clubs, specifically designing educational and technology programs. I enjoyed tutoring about 50 youth a day. As a result some parents requested that I run a special off hours program at their middle school to tutor the ADHD kids. Every child in that program raised their grades 60% over the course of the semester. Since that time I have honed ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have always had a passion for teaching students who face challenges in their lives. My focus is on the student and his lifelong education above test scores. I know that all children can learn and work hard to connect with each of my students and to individualize their educational experience.
During college, I worked as a home-school Spanish, Language Arts and History teacher for students ages seven through fourteen. I volunteered in classrooms, tutored, and provided childcare for children with special needs. I studied Spanish and abroad. Upon graduation, I began my teaching career in L.A. where I taught kindergarten. After three years, I decided to teach abroad and moved to a small Chinese city where I taught preschool. Back in the U.S., I taught an intervention class for struggling readers in the second and third grades. I also tutored for students after school in their home ... read more

In my experience as a teacher I have learned that every child has a preferred style of learning and it is important as a teacher to teach in a variety of methods that will reach each students' preferred style.Working in Guatemala gave me the unique experience of starting from scratch with a curriculum and adapting it to best serve the needs of my students.As a tutor working in a smaller setting it is important for the teacher to learn the students' preferred method of learning and teach to that style.If a student requires hands on experience with a subject matter then it would be my job to figure out how to present that subject in that way.I hope that I get the opportunity to bring my enthusiasm and creativity to work with your child.
I have earned a Bachelors degree in Psychology and traveled extensively during my 4 years in college.My traveling experiences have given me the oppor ... read more

Pursuing a college degree in Kinesiology-Physical Education, has made me a driven person not only to help myself, but to help change the lives of children.

More About This Tutor...

I graduated with an MA in English (TESOL), and a BA in English Composition (writing). I have had a successful career as an English Instructor. My notable areas of expertise include writing (essays, GREs, SATs, TOEFLs, resume writing, etc.), grammar/linguistics, reading skills, oral communication, and vocabulary development. I am proficient in several foreign languages as well: Japanese, Chinese (Mandarin), Korean, and some Spanish.
I have had the experience of teaching students of all ages: kindergarteners, elementary schoolers, middle schoolers, high schoolers, and adults. I have also taught students whose primary language is not English. Each age group has required a different style of approach, so I cannot comment on my teaching style in full here, but suffice it to say that I cater my teaching style to match the student's age, academic skill, and time.

More About This Tutor...

I have been working with children from K-12 grade since 2001. I was part of the Math Academy in 2002. I have been subsituting in grades K-8 since 2009. I am fluent in the Spanish and I have experience working with migrant as well as with English Learner students. I worked with EL students for 3 years.

I enjoy working with children. My theory of teaching is using the multiple intelligence theory. I believe that all children have the capacity to learn but in their own way. I like to incoporate different styles of learning in a lesson. I also like to incorporate hands on activities, because I believe that doing is learning.

I have extensive experience as a tutor. I have been tutoring for 10 years. I tutored learning disabled children as well as struggling children in a variety of subjects.

I have a BA degree in psychology and have my Master Teacher Permit in early childhood education.

I use an easy manner in my tutoring and use my sense of humor to build rapport with children. I strive to make learning fun and interactive. I do not just hand out worksheets and require reading. I am a hands on tutor. I also help children understand the concepts behind the learning, rather than rote memorization of material. I know that all children learn differently and I adjust my teaching meth ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have taught music in public education for the last 15 years. I have been involved in church music ministry for over 25 years, and currently am the church pianist in Stockton, Ca. I love working with children of all ages. Math is my second love and I almost majored in math instead of music. Math was always easy for me in school. Although I don't enjoy writing, I am very strong in written English and enjoy proofreading papers.
I strive to include various learning styles when working with children. Some students learn best by listening or writing, while others need movement or tactile experiences to help in comprehension. I believe in keeping students engaged at all times, to minimize wasted time. Every child has potential. A teacher just has to know how to reach each child, and that happens when the students builds trust with the teacher.

My approach in teaching is unique. I have an autistic sibling and a son with an individualized education program, so my understanding of approaching children is on an individual basis. With my personal and professional experience, I have learned to be patient, understanding, friendly, and have a helpful attitude. My goal is to have every child try to surpass their zone of proximal development with my assistance. I have a pretty good sense as to how children approach learning; visually, hands-on, hearing, etc...I appreciate every child's potential because they are our future. Thus, I strive to help them find their confidence in education.
