Although each child has his or her own style of learning, I believe in bringing out their highest potential by feeding them with the kind of construcive criticism and positive reinforcement that motivates every young mind. I am patient, respectful and warm. My hope as a tutor is to help students learn more easily by providing them with essential tools they will be able to use for the rest of their lives. In my 20 + years as a student, I have become convinced that a great teacher is essential to bolstering confidence, passion and motivation to learn. I intend to inspire all three. Only four years after immigrating from Belgium to the US, self motivated success and ambition allowed me to graduate Valedictorian of my high school class. I was offered a full ride scholarship to UC Berkeley, the #1 public university in the nation. I was pleased with my accomplishments and proceeded to keep fol

There are many teaching methods that stand behind my philosophy. I believe that remaining aware of the different ways in which children learn, and taking those learning styles into consideration throughout my lesson planning and delivery, is of great importance. The classroom environment is also very important. A healthy learning environment, where both my students and I can take risks, make mistakes and learn from one another, is key. My philosophy of education will keep on evolving as I gain teaching experience. I will add some new goals and revise others. Even as my philosophy undergoes change, I believe that my main goal will remain the same. My mission is to motivate students to become life-long learners, and help them acquire skills that will enable them to pursue independent learning. Throughout college, I completed two field experiences followed by my student teaching experien

I have been teaching at the post-secondary level for 3 years. Prior to that time I taught classes in Emergency Medical Technician and Cardio-pulmonary Life Support to military Doctors, nurses and medical techinicians. I have been able to develop a great rapport with my students and offer special one-on-one attention when needed to ensure the required knowledge is gained. I have assisted students with medical laboratory procedures requiring unique individual instruction. I enjoy teaching and utilize several different types of styles to keep students interested and desirous of learning. I provide thought provoking questions which require more than a simple yes or no answer. I envoke lecture as little as required to get across the point, but prefer demonstration or class participation. I utilize small groups so that students learn to interact with others.

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.

My success as a teacher has come from my belief that young people have a better chance at succeeding when they are empowered with tools and support for their own capacity to learn and grow, rather than simply fed information. Certain qualities are needed in a tutor or teacher to make that possible: compassion, confidence and an ability to create a safe container, one that is nurturing and void of impatience and frustration. These qualities make up the foundation of my teaching style, along with a high-level of work quality and extensive experience teaching children and young people of many different backgrounds and abilities. I have over 13 years experience as a teacher and tutor as well as many years of education and training that include the following: Psychoeducational Therapist at the Children’s Evaluation and Rehabilitation Center in New York (specializing in youth with learning d
