I use Socratic questioning strategies and experiential learning to ensure that students understand why a concept applies rather than just memorizing formulas. I use manipulatives and visual aids to ensure that multiple modalities are integrated. I work with the whole student as a person, identifying how the student learns and teaching the student how to adapt various teaching styles to his/her learning style. I have 9 years of experience teaching high school; all courses - AP Calculus, pre-calculus, algebra 2, geometry, algebra, pre-algebra (including special needs and english learners), and practical applications.

Teaching in an inspiring and positive teaching style, I have special talent to explain and to clarify difficult concepts in a variety of ways that effectively "get the idea across" in a manner that makes learning easier and more fun. I believe that a structured environment with open communication is most effective and conducive to learning. I work with students to develop critical and independent problem-solving skills through praise and building confidence and self-esteem. Because all children do not learn the same way, I incorporate all three learning styles--auditory, visual and kinesthetic, or learning by doing-- into my teaching in order to meet individual needs and ability to learn. Earning my BA degree and Teaching Credential from SDSU, I also have units equivalent to a Master's in curriculum development and health information.

I am confident that I can help my students improve in their performance in any of the above-mentioned subjects in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. I believe that any student can learn a subject once he or she is able to understand its concepts and practice its procedures following a consistent set of steps. Having a thorough understanding of mathematics and physics allows me to break down concepts, explain them using different approaches, diagnose where the student has misconceptions or difficulties, and to review skills that will enable the student to have a strong foundation. I also have access to software, activities and manipulatives that may make the learning process more fun. I have a BS in Mathematics from Cal Poly Pomona along with 8 years of work experience tutoring secondary students and college students in Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, College Algebra, Pre-Ca

I advocate a hands-on teaching and learning environment. I think that hands-on learning is the only way to truly help students interact with a subject in order to absorb and comprehend it. If, as a teacher or tutor, I can help the student relate a subject to their lives or help them create a connection between what they are learning and what they enjoy, I have succeeded. Teaching is not about lecturing, it is about encouraging students to seek answers of their own accord through positive interaction with the subject material. Ultimately, the greatest reward will not be the answer itself, but the journey the student took to get there, because, by the end, they will have made the subject material their own. I hold Bachelor and Master of Arts degrees in English Literature from Kansas State University. In addition, I have two years of teaching experience at the collegiate level where I taugh
