As a graduate, I've been very blessed to have received a degree in Business Communication. In college I learned how to become a better educator, and communicate with them on the highest level. Although, I tutor in all of the academic areas, I also enjoy helping my student appreciate the art of becoming a good writer, and thinkers. My students are also encouraged to read for relaxation, and entertainment. Making the education process fun is also an asset. The extensive course work, I received in college has enabled me to teach others to become academically proficient. Teaching can be a most wonderful adventure. I believe every child can learn. At times students or overwhelming with new concepts, and they need to be encouraged, and praise until they can accomplish the task at hand.

I love teaching students to discover the answers to questions and problems that otherwise eluded them. I am a firm believer in student-centered learning, meaning the students are given the opportunity to research, discover, and progress through various techniques. Providing the appropriate learning environment is essential for a student to fully experience their potential. Therefore, I gladly provide each student with information that will give them the opportunity to produce better study habits and test taking abilities. I believe using these tools will provide students with a life long learning advantage that will follow them through all aspects of their lives. As an educator, I have been given the opportunity to teach in various venues and modalities. Through these opportunities I have taught adults, children and teenagers using many techniques and styles.

After obtaining my teaching credential in English, I taught high school English for three years (grades 9 & 10) and drama for one. Then I taught special ed English for two years. I also taught one year of Language Arts (grade 8). I established a peer tutoring and stud habits program at Branham High School for ninth graders who were struggling to pass their classes. At A Place for Teens center in Los Gatos, I ran a peer tutoring program for students who had no other place to do their homework. I am passionate about inspiring students to enjoy reading and writing. It is my goal to find a balance between what they are interested in (ie: their career goals)and what they will be interested in (ie: other cultures). I believe they deserve to be exposed to new things, as well as to express their own interests.

After earning my BA and CA Teaching Credential in English, my love for the language and subject drove me to complete my MA in English and Comparative Literature in less than two years. Such an intense program demanded that I not only be highly organized, but that my analytical, writing, and verbal skills be immensely effective, as well. Consequently, I successfully translated these abilities to the many students I have taught and tutored over the past six years. Although I have instructed students in all the humanities (even basic French), my expertise is in English composition (essay writing) and the development of critical thinking skills regarding English literature. My former high school students used to tell me how much they appreciated my patience with them; modestly, I would have to agree with their assessment. I believe that individuals process information in different ways, and

As both a graduate student in education as well as a credentialed teacher focusing on literacy, elementary and secondary basic skills, I firmly believe that strong language skills are the foundation of a successful academic career. I also have years of experience as a literacy tutor and substitute teacher and have had the opportunity and privilege to work with learners from an array of demographics and backgrounds, including English as second language learners and first generation high school graduates. One of the reasons I work as a tutor is because of the freedom it gives me to address each learner’s needs individually; this means not only working with them on issues such as mechanics, grammar and organization, but on what I refer to as the academic “soft skills” such as time management, note taking and various strategies to analyze and articulate an argument as well.

I am a recent graduate from Santa Clara University with a double degree in Economics and Finance. I worked for three years at Stanford University with the Foundation for Education (F4ED) tutoring advanced elementary students in applied mathematical concepts. I am currently working as a research analyst for the Aspen Network of Development Entrepreneurs (A.N.D.E.) as well as co-writing a paper on applied financial concepts with a professor from Santa Clara University. I enjoy teaching students of all ages. I believe the best way for students to learn is by asking questions. I encourage students to think outside the box and ask as many questions during each session. In addition I feel that students learn best when they are able to apply a recently learned concept to a more challenging or different problem.

I homeschool my children in math, art and science. They ask question about a subject and I give them answers to their questions. If I do not know the answer, I then teach them how to look up the answer or work it out from fundamental assumptions. By having them approach me their interest level is peaked and them retain the information. I learned in graduate school how to learn which I then pass along to my students. I taught advance instrument design at Stanford University using laser detection technology. The two semsters involved handles on generation of working prototypes. During my time as an graduate student, I tutored undergraduate classes in organic and math while I was a Teachers Assistant for the General Chemistry classes. I ran and graded three lab classes as part of my duties.
