I have worked as a tutor for 10 years in all subjects, especially focusing on ESL learners. Recently, I have worked in an ESL school (FLS International) with university age students seeking to matriculate into American Universities. Before that, I worked in South Korea teaching English. While employed at these schools, I also work part-time as a tutor- mostly for middle and high school age students. Many of my students struggle with time management, and this is a main focus in my tutoring sessions. I hate lecturing! I do! This is why my tutoring style is very interactive. I don't like talking AT a person, I prefer to have a conversation. My goal as a tutor is to make subjects interesting, and also to make sure they stick- so you can do well on exams. I also teach study skills in every session, so ideally you won't have to rely on me forever. I try to give students tools that the

I utilize a variety of instructional techniques to help each diverse learner succeed and excel. I believe the most imperative part of teaching is to facilitate a positive rapport with my students and have clear structure for them to work with. I have taught Social Studies and Language Arts at the middle school and high school levels in Missouri for three years. I have worked with students that are considered at-risk, ELD, and students with special needs (including Autism, remedial studies, learning disabilities, and emotional disturbance disorders). I hold current and valid teaching credentials in both California and Missouri. I am in the last eight months of my Masters Degree at National University for teaching students with special needs.

Working with children of all ages is one of my greatest joys. My post graduate work focused,and continues to focus, on methods of instruction that create life long learners and teaching from each student's needs and motivations. Students possess multiple strengths, interests, and desires and it is my goal to access those attributes to spark interest and success in learning. All children can reach their potential and beyond when given the opportunity to succeed. In my twenty three years of teaching experience, I've sought cutting edge technology and methodology training. My career has included teaching all grades, K-8, either as the classroom teacher, summer school demonstration teacher, substitute or English language arts teacher. In the last ten years, I've been an English language arts teacher in grades six and eight at Stevenson School in Carmel and in the Sandwich Public Schools

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

I am currently working as the Math Specialist at a K-8th school where I provide assistance to students who need extra help or are performing below grade level. I also work with students in 8th grade teaching Algebra to those who have the ability to learn at a faster pace than the class as a whole. I first determine the student's level in each subject, and tutor accordingly. Since every person learns in a different way, I may try more than one approach until it is clear that the student is gaining an understanding of the subject matter. I am patient, positive, and encouraging. I find it very rewarding to help others. When I see the student learning and advancing, I share in their joy at overcoming a stumbling block, or accomplishing their goal.

My junior year I studied abroad in France, I lived and breathed French. I lived with a host family, living as the French do. I even studied abroad in Morocco after that, further strengthening my French language skills. As a child I always had the desire to learn French and upon entering college is when I began fulfillment of that desire. I love the language and I enjoy teaching it to others. I have worked in several preschools and have experience as an Au-Pair in Italy last summer. I like to engage children and have a lot of fun with them through learning but I also know how to discipline. I am very patient with children and understanding. With teaching it is important for me not to teach children a lot but to make sure they have a solid foundation of knowledge and then build from there.

In college, the focus of my degree was creative writing and social action. I gained extensive experience researching, writing narrative and informative papers and determining how to use the information most effectively. My creative work has been presented locally and at international conferences. After finishing my BA in Human Communications, I realized I wanted a better education for my daughters than the local school district could provide. I began an in depth study of educational philosophies and concluded that homeschooling would be in their best interest. Through educating them, I realized that I have a love for teaching. Over the course of several years, I have tutored children in creative and non-fiction writing. I have also tutored children with dyslexia using the Barton System. I believe in a multi-sensory approach to learning. All children learn in their own way. My job as a te

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. My education and experiences as a military spouse, an adult college student, Girl Scout Troop Leader, teacher and business owner have given me knowledge in various subject matters (i.e., English Language Learners, Language Composition, Mathematics, History, Science, Music, Business Management, and Team Building) that would benefit many levels of learning. 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 t

Having taught in Australia, France, Japan and the United States, I have gained a unique understanding of different school systems and teaching methodologies. I particularly enjoyed the smaller private school settings with motivated learners. All the same, I believe that my years in the public sector served to improve my organizational and management skills. I am known for providing critical thinking activities as a supplement to the core material in my math classes. Students appreciate my project-oriented lessons. I am a recent retiree with 33 years of teaching in both private and public institutions. I have had the pleasure of working on four different continents, primarily as a math and French instructor. Among my various accomplishments, I would include my year in France as a Fulbright exchange participant. After teaching French for my first dozen years, I then acquired a supple
