A Little Bit About Me...

I have been involved every year since 1975 in the work of an educator, mostly for pay, but occasionally as a volunteer, either community- or faith-based, in three states and two foreign countries. Leadership was usually demonstrated in teaching for proprietory institutions in curriculum development and in the processes of actual recruitment. In fifth-grade teaching of English language learners, my class for two semesters won the highest attendance record for 3rd-5th graders in the Los Angeles Unified School District.
Each time I have taught a different age-level I have sought to accommodate myself to the learning style of that particular level, whether psychokinetic for kindergarten and preschool, audio-visual for lower elementary, or verbal-phonemic for upper-level students and adults. It was in the teaching of adults that I encountered my most challenging situations, and even to ... read more

I hold a BA in physical education & health,a MA in Reading/Literacy, and am highly qualified and certified to teach English/Language Arts. I have spent the past 29 years teaching these subjects to students grades K-12. The past 10 years I spent teaching high school students English, literature, credit recovery, writing and reading. I am an excellent reader and writer and accomplished at sharing these passions and skills with students. I believe education is the greatest tool a person can possess, and helping to provide students with a good education is the most positive and proactive way to make a difference in the evolution of our world. Literacy skills are crucial to the advancement of all learning.
My teaching style is guided by the student, curriculum and situation. It is crucial to evaluate where a student is in the learning process, understand how each learns best and be ... read more

I believe that in order to help a student you must first be able to connect with him/her. That could mean understanding a student’s background, researching the latest video games or playing softball after class. For example, several of the girls I worked with at the JEI Learning Center, spoke very little English. Often they got frustrated and just sort of shut down -- stopped responding. At first I tried to have them draw pictures but when that didn't work, I asked them to show me something from home. They folded cranes and strawberries out of the paper that I gave them. Though the exercise didn't help them understand verb tense, it did help build trust between us. After that, when they felt insecure or confused, I was less intimidating.
While earning my bachelor's degree, I worked in several tutoring programs assisting students with reading comprehension and writing composition sk ... read more

I taught middle school and high school Language and Literature for two years at a private school. During that time I also tutored in the subjects of history, math, and science. I am currently working on my Masters degree in Education and have had refresher courses in the areas of study outside of my initial degree. I love working with students and have taken courses specifically in test prep.
I am an active teacher. I want students to understand the subject in the context of their own lives as opposed to just learning definitions. If they can realate the information to an actual happening, they are more likely to remember. In terms of test preparation, aside from learning the information it is important to work on test-taking skills (relaxation, focus, etc.). Being prepared for such large tests is more than just knowing, it is recalling under pressure. I work with all of th ... read more

I focus on the individual first - her style of learning, what makes her mind tick, how she responds to different methods of teaching. I believe that people are treated fairly by being treated individually. I also believe that people do not care how much you know until they know how much you care. I strive to set an example of genuine care and concern for the learner.
During the last five years I have taught others how to use social media, viral marketing, search engine optimization and social media marketing more effectively. I have been recognized by peers as a leader in the emerging space of social knowledge, which embraces a holistic approach to the social interactions an organization has internally and with customers and partners.

Using a variety of teaching strategies, I engage students with all learning styles including using music, creative writing, visual arts, interpersonal interactions, quiet reading, and exploratory activities. My experience with young learners has taught me that all students appreciate authentic learning situations, in which they can use all of their senses to experience a subject. Furthermore, I believe and have seen that all students can learn, though at differing rates. I am patient with all students, and try to demonstrate to them my own love of learning, as well as my consideration of each of them as unique and special individuals.

A Little Bit About Me...

Tutoring the children over the last two years has been the most rewarding work for me. When a middle school child actually gets up, goes and gets a dictionary, and looks up the meaning, pronunciation, and spelling of a word, without having direction from me, it makes my heart sing. Never have I had that feeling before, therefore it is my goal to continue to provide any child with the best tools, a positive mindset, and forward ambition to achieve the best opportunities in life that only an education can give them. I believe it is imperative that people of all ages, ethnicity, and socio-economic status have access to the best avenue to attain wealth, prosperity, and an increased quality of life: an education. It is my hope that when my students leave my class that they feel hopeful, excited, and energetic about their futures.
Securing a BS in Political Science was a process that ... read more

I have a strong desire and love for teaching and working with children. I find that if I can help a child understand their homework or help them read a story and they smile, then I have achieved success. I believe all children are successful and can learn, even if they learn in different ways. I think it is essential to set goals for the students I am working with and set goals for myself as the teacher. I want to make a difference in a child's life and I feel I can make that difference by helping them succeed in their education.
I graduated from Colorado State University with a passion for working with children. I joined the Americorps program and became a Literacy Tutor in an elementary school. I had the priviledge to work with talented students and teachers. I gained a great understanding in the areas of reading and writing. To further my understanding of elementary reading and ... read more
