More About This Tutor...

I am a compassionate, adaptable, and enthusiastic individual who is dedicated to helping individuals reach their unique potentials. My teaching involves having high expectations combined with a high level of warmth and reinforcement. I believe everyone can learn, and everyone has the right to be taught in a way they can understand.
I have experience teaching individuals of all ages. I have been working with various tutoring companies since May. Furthermore, I have taught numerous children how to read and do basic math. I have tutored many of my classmates in various subjects including psychology, English, biology, and algebra since high school. I facilitate day treatment groups teaching severely emotionally disturbed children social skills, behavior management, and life skills. These children also have a range of diagnoses such as autism or ADHD. I helped provide group and individu ... read more

I taught college composition to college students as a teaching assistant while I was in grad school. I completed a teaching practicum as part of my training. I tutored calculus and algebra to college students while I was an undergraduate. I earned the College Reading and Learning Association (CRLA) certification.
I believe in a personal, individual attention approach to tutoring as this is how I myself was taught by my parents and siblings. I am also result oriented as far as grades are concerned.

More About This Tutor...

I enjoy reading to children and helping them understand as well as enjoy the words. The proud faces they wear is a priceless reward, to the knowledge that they have accomplished learning. All children absorb information like sponges. It is up to educators (parents, teachers, tutors) to ensure that our children don't just learn to read. I want to ensure that they KNOW what the information means and how to apply to their present and future lives in becoming productive citizens in society.
I have earned an AA in Travel Management; a BA in Business; and an MBA in Human Resources. The knowledge I've gained through higher education is that education is continuous. It does not end when the last research paper or essay is submitted. During a temporary tenure with the Nellis Air Force Base, Education Office, I had the opportunity to teach a Study Skills course for Airmen prepar ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I employ a number of different tactics while teaching. My main focus is using open-ended questions which help students understand not only what the correct answer is, but also why the answer is correct. I am focus-driven and work to set objectives. I will focus on an objective until it is understood completely. I have a strong ability to relate concepts into real-life situations which helps students to retain the information they gain.
As the 7th Grade English and reading teacher at Robison Middle School, test scores on the state-mandated proficiency exam improved by 24%. After one year of service, I was asked to be the Chair of the Reading department. As the instructor for Read 180, I developed students' reading abilities who were far below school and district standards. Using a set curriculum based on computer, large group and small group discussion, I balanced classwork and ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I am a current high school English teacher, with experience in teaching Journalism, Publications, and middle school language arts. I began tutoring students (middle school and elementary school) during a stint in Americorps (2002), and continue to tutor my own ESL students today. My strength is in teaching writing, specifically writing for standardized tests. I feel very comfortable teaching all areas of language arts, reading, study skills, and test preparation.
I enjoy teaching and working with young people. I am a firm believer that students work up or down to expectations--I consistently hold high expectations and enjoy watching students work hard to meet them. Part of the challenge (and joy) of teaching is figuring out how to convey information to different types of learners. I am fascinated by the learning process, and enjoy devising new ways to teach the same subject materia ... read more

Growing up my mother ran a tutoring program out of our home. This is where I initially learned the skills involved in tutoring. Ever since I was 16, I was aiding my mother in various tutoring sessions and when I entered University at age 18 I worked as a lead tutor for a tutoring program for at-risk children of the Azusa community in California. For two years, I worked with and watched as various children I tutored and mentored grew and overcame learning obstacles, excelling in the classroom as well as at home. Throughout my high school and university years, my education has fine-tuned my reading and writing skills through the endless process of research papers, thesis', and creative writings. Since then I have been tutoring in the subjects of reading, writing, math, Spanish, and cultural studies.
Teaching has always been a part of my life. My mother was constantly teaching me, alo ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have enjoyed three teaching/performance experiences most in my career: working with children, with challenged individuals of any age, and with the very old. I have an easy-going style that students of any age have always appreciated. I teach through discovery rather than basing learning on established protocol or theory. My most grounded belief is that we can all benefit from learning something of the arts that can be adopted on a personal level. When that happens, the possibility for personal transformation is dramatically expanded. This is about making the kind of difference that most interests me.

I hold a Master’s Degree in Elementary Education and a NV Teaching License ( K-8 ).

A Little Bit About Me...

While I was a public relations professional, several people told me that I was a natural teacher. At a certain point in my career, I decided to give it a try and found out they were absolutely right! Although I did teach part time for several years during college and graduate school, this was the first time I made it my livelihood.
I believe in making teaching challenging and fun. Students need to be engaged in the day to day activities in order to learn. However, discipline is also essential.

My teaching style can be described in two words: persistent and patient. I believe that the reason why a student may seem disinterested in education is due to fear of not understanding the subject, embarrassment of failure, and/or lack of self-motivation or focus. But all of these can be overcome with a persistent tutor who does not give up on the student, and who is patient to understand that the student just needs more time and work. I believe that all students have the potential to accomplish goals and triumph over any learning impediments. During the last two years that I have been tutoring I have thoroughly enjoyed helping students to overcome impediments and improve their skills.
As a recent college graduate, I uphold and advocate the educational experience as an essential part of life. It not only expands our mental capabilities, but also builds confidence into individuals. ... read more

My teaching style is progressive. I believe education should be entertaining, however not entertainment. I enjoy challenging my students, however to do this effectively it is important that they remain engaged. One of the ways in which I do this is to encourage students to think creatively. Creativity is the key to success with education. Not only does it foster confidence and positive self-esteem, creativity keeps the brain on its toes, so to speak, by continually challenging students’ abilities and forcing students to expand beyond their academic comfort zone. Teaching students to develop new ways to solve problems generates the confidence needed to succeed not only in school but also in life.
My interest in becoming a tutor stems from my life long passion for teaching and learning. Throughout the past eight years, I have focused my efforts on soaking up my education and research ... read more
