My name is Jean and I am a retired elementary school teacher with 35 years of experience teaching all subjects in grades K-5. I was voted Teacher of the Year by my peers in 2013. I was a Writing for Success Mentor in my district and led in-services. I tutor because I love to help students reach their academic goals and gain more confidence in doing so. I feel it is essential to establish a mutual bond of respect and trust between teacher and student. I always check for understanding and create a safe environment where students feel comfortable asking questions. I love to laugh and incorporate humor into lessons. Laughter is good for the student and the teacher! I have taught whole group, small group, and individual reading. I helped students learn how to decode through developing phonemic awareness and to use contextual clues in determining word meanings. I taught children how to becom

I have been a credentialed teacher for 4 years. I work primarily with students with moderate/severe disabilities. Previously, I was a teacher's aid, tutor and daycare worker. I am credentialed in both general education and special education. I have experience working with a wide variety of learners in all subject areas. I have worked with students who are simply trying to get ahead in school, students who are falling behind and need homework help, students who are about to be retained, to students who are significantly delayed and are on their own curriculum program. My special education background allows me to support all levels of students and support different learning styles. I prefer to provide students with hands on and/or visual tools during learning when possible. I like to make the educational topic meaningful and interesting to the student.

I began tutoring my freshman year of high school. For my fours year of high school I worked at Kumon Learning Center in Los Angeles. Here, I learned a lot of my tutoring experience. I worked with children from the ages of 5 to 17. I helped these children in math from kindergarten math all the way up to calculus, and then in reading and reading comprehension skills from the younger kindergarteners to younger high schoolers. I enjoy working with children and try to teach children in a fun way so they do not become bored and can learn to really understand and grasp concepts. I also enjoy working with teenagers and am confident that I can help all high schoolers with different subjects they struggle with. The reason why I left Kumon Learning Center is because I moved down to San Diego to begin my freshman year of college, so I am now looking forward to continue my tutoring career down here.

I have always believed, in order to be a good teacher, you must teach to the varying needs of students and realize, not all children learn the same way. I am very versatile in my teaching strategies- if a program isn't working, I rely on data and feedback to adjust my teaching. I am also very creative and will strive to make learning challenging and fun! I have always enjoyed working with kids- it is rewarding to see young students experience the learning process. I've been a special education teacher for the past 3 years in a large school district in Omaha, Nebraska. There, I worked with all types of students with varying learning styles and disabilities. I lead many interventions and small groups in the areas of behavior skills, reading comprehension, writing, grammar and mathematics. I am trained in several intervention programs such as Do The Math, ABLLS, and Start-In. I already have

Currently a college student. Double majoring in Political Science/ Spanish Literature. I enjoy working with children of all ages. While I was in high school I had my own tutoring program for English Learners. I was the AVID Senior Stand Out of my class. I know how hard it is to find a good tutor that can match your style of learning and I have discovered that tutoring/ mentoring is more than only learning material, its about understanding the subject.

I have tutored for a non-profit organization, Life Christian Church, as an after school program on Wednesdays free to the community. I have also taught English and History to home school students. One of the biggest accomplishments was watching of the students who detested writing papers because he did not believe he could do it, grow into a man who is not writing weekly papers confidently. His father told me once, his is writing papers better than he ever would have at that age. I have also taught youth ministry for over 10 years. Although this may not include educational studies, the techniques are similar and my young people grasp some challenging principles through it. Call or text me at 760-522-0862.

I have taught all core subjects plus art history for over 20 years using various state mandated materials and supplementals I purchased through special ed catalogs. Student outcomes were best with the supplementals due to limited attention span and high interest-low level materials. I use various methods to determine mastery- I create my own written or verbal assessments, writing assignments and have students maintain learning journals. I have a background in educational psychology which is useful in dealing with students with behavioral issues. I work through positive behavior supports, humor and style to motivate the student to understand the need to learn the core subject matter in order to proceed through high school. I am excellent at reading the needs of the student and creating lessons that are relevant, interesting and fun.

As a lifetime learner, I like to share my love of learning with others. My specialty is helping those who have difficulty learning something. I love math but like to teach it so it can be applied to life situations. I believe technology can help us learn but can also overwhelm us. As a special education classroom teacher for two years, test scores for special education students also went up for two years. I believe in hands on learning. I found out the best way you learn and help you discover your strengths for learning.
