I am what you might call a camp kid. I grew up spending summers in the mountains, camping and hiking and when I grew older, working. The foundation of my leadership experience was built in the forrest. For six summers I worked as an outdoor educator and adventure guide, leading groups of students through week long trips into the natural world. I believe in experience as the greatest teacher. Students are empowered when they learn from their experience and begin to flourish in themselves. At university, my enthusiasm for the outdoors lead me to the arts. I took a particular interest in poetry and short stories and immersed myself in literary life at UCSD. I was often asked to facilitate writing workshops and discussion groups, and in doing so I've found tutoring to come quite naturally to me.

I'm a firm believer in positive reinforcement. I have dealt with my fair share of teachers who use shame as a motivator, but that only stalls students. Teaching students WHY helps them understand HOW, and it works every time. I'm confident in this method's results. This is my first time tutoring professionally. However, it is not the first time I help others to learn. Even though I am only a college student (an English major, soon to be studying creative writing as a minor field), I have often volunteered at an elementary school in San Diego, where I worked with younger children. My tasks included administering tests, helping them with their work, and teaching proper study habits. Hopefully, I can take this little bit of experience and help any other students that need it. As an aspiring English professor, I know this will be a wonderful start to a career in teaching and of course, learn

After a career as a highly successful jewelry designer and manufacturer I sold my company and became an English teacher. I have always been interested in literature and journalism and while at university I participated in theater and was managing editor for the school newspaper. I began my teaching career at one of the toughest schools in Los Angeles and after following my science teacher wife to San Diego I have enjoyed several long term substitute positons with AP students at the High School Level. I have taught English now for six years to a full range of diversified students from grades six through twelve. As a teacher my biggest thrill is helping students reach their goals with clear understanding. Not all students learn the same and so good teachers must have many stategies for diversity in the classroom. With verbal and social skills that elicit trust, I have an ability to teach

My teaching style is student-centered. This approach is two-fold. I use scaffolds to assist in the discovery process, but encourage students to truly perform the “learning” independently, better preparing them for future endeavors. I also focus my delivery and content around the students’ interests, skill-levels, and abilities. I believe everyone has the right to an education and modify accordingly. I am patient, humorous, and approachable. It is not my goal for the students to fear me; I want to be an authority figure that they respect but also trust. I encourage students to think outside of the box as well as raise them to higher standards and skill levels. I am passionate about education, reading, and writing, and it shows! As a graduate of the University of Puget Sound, I earned a Bachelor’s Degree in English studies as well as a minor in Biology. I spent a year in college

Working with hundreds of college students to improve their writing, from academic essays in all subjects to college applications puts a big smile on my face. When they report to me that they received 'A' grades or acceptance to the college of their choice, we both know they have sharpened the tools which will energize their futures. I have written extensively myself, as a fundraiser and communications consultant, so realize the impact, in dollars and cents, that clear and vivid language can have on your reader. Let's work together to make your writing easier for you, and a joy for your reader. I am warm-hearted and intuitive. I will listen carefully to what you say about your tutoring needs before I look at the work you are doing and offer my analysis of how you can make your language stronger, clearer and more persuasive.

I love working with all level of students. I never give up on my students and expect them to never give up on themselves. Building confidence in learners is key to my educational approach, and I try my best to be aware of frustration levels. Everyone learns a different way, and I believe it is my job to figure out my students’ best learning style. My main effort in teaching goes to having my students fully understand the subject they are learning, and feel open enough to ask any questions. A good educational foundation opens up a world of opportunity. Since knowing I wanted to teach my junior year of high school, education has been my passion. I went on to Sonoma State University where I earned my BA in Liberal Studies with a concentration in Kinesiology (PE). I then went on to Cal State San Marcos to obtain my Multiple Subject Teaching Credential. Since having my credential I have had t

I have extensive teaching experience at all levels from my years spent in Germany. I taught at the level of technical colleges (Technische Hochschule Bremen) high school and grade school (Schulzentrum Obervieland). I have exzperience in teaching both a specialized form of language instruction (English for electrical engineers) and general languages. I have found teaching beginners to be extremely rewarding because there is no basis to build on. Everything they can write or say was taught to them by me, and it is extremely gratifying if they feel challenged and motivated to continue to learn the subject I taught them in. As far as teaching languages goes, I believe in immediately beginning in the language and doing all instruction in that language. Translation should be minimized at the start, although it will have its place much later at an advanced stage. The challenge of making this ap

I believe that students learn when they have a genuine passion for the subject. As a teacher, I try to lead them to this passion before introducing anything technical or abstruse. My philosophy rests on the notion that students will actually guide their teacher once they are having fun; pedagogy is therefore a two-way street where true interaction is possible. Many of the barriers that might prevent a student from learning a particular subject include fear, intimidation, low self esteem and apprehension—all of which can be reversed if the student has a genuine interest. With two degrees in music, an MA (nearly complete) in British Literature, and fourteen years of experience working with children in summer camps or individually, I have an extensive educational background. Three years of study in England has added a unique perspective to my teaching palette. Since my music education

As an inspired educator and experienced teacher, I have served many unique populations, which include middle and high school youth as well as university and adult students. I strive to advance a student centered environment both in the classroom and as a tutor in which every individual is accommodated with a scholastic program that builds upon his or her unique strengths and talents in order to fortify academic areas that require improvement. Creative and engaging lessons supported with differentiated instruction, technologically progressive activities and high expectations of every student are several qualities that characterize my teaching and tutoring style. As a Master’s degree recipient in English, I have developed a comprehensive background in literature and composition. Moreover, my professional history includes many years of teaching and mentoring in both in the United States and

I love teaching children. I have a very systematic approach to teaching ensuring that children understand the fundamentals and show their work validating their solutions. I believe that children learn best from a patient and caring instructor. As a college graduate, I was very much driven to achieve a high level of excellence in education. I have earned a bachelor degree, BS in Computer Science & Engineering, which has enabled me to gain an understanding in many areas of math and science. I have earned a master degree, MS in Computer Information Systems, which has enabled me to gain an understanding in many areas of presentation of material learned. In addition, I have learned extensive grammatical skills due to writing research papers and laboratory reports, along with essays in many various areas of study.
