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.

One of my two minors was human geography. I completed courses in physical geography and oceanography as well. Graduated with honors in 2010 from SDSU with a BA in Linguistics and an TESL certificate. I double-minored in History and Geography. Worked at American Language Institute (ALI) before and after graduation as a facilitator (assistant instructor). Graduated from Mesa Community College in 2007 with an associates degree in Social Science. I take a systematic "nuts and bolts" approach that gives the student the basic building blocks so that they may become a partner in the integrative learning process that involves figuring out how to properly structure, connect & apply these integrations to form new building blocks, and so on to wider & wider integrations & applications.

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

Teaching and tutoring has always been a passion of mine. I have always believed that every person is capable of understanding and learning, provided the right teaching method is used. I am patient and take the time to teach my students the subject at hand--mostly using logic and analogies as examples. I usually quiz them as I teach, always assuring they understand and not moving forward until everything is well understood. When one method doesn't work, I try another method. I don't ever give up on my students. I know they can learn. It's just a matter of how, finding the right method, and applying it. I graduated from the University of South Carolina's Moore School of Business with a degree in business administration. I majored in International Business and Finance, with a minor in French.

I am an enthusiastic and seasoned professional who is passionate about the value of quality human service with a natural affinity to assist, advocate and encourage. I am an active listener and my strength lies in building effective loyal relationships. These qualities, and the high value I place on education give me the structure needed to be a great teacher. I am also patient and forbearing, realizing that each of us learns in our own unique way and at our own pace. As a liaison, I handle difficult situations with tact, diplomacy, flexibility, humor and understanding, and would apply those attributes to the learning experience in order to make it a positive, successful and even joyful, undertaking for student and teacher. I raised three wonderful children, and then went back to college, graduating with honors from Northwestern University. I have life experience in a wide variety of

I enjoy both the one on one mentoring and also engaging students in small groups and as an entire classroom. The one on one mentoring gives me a feel for the best way for that particular student to learn, therefore I can adjust my teaching style to their strengths. I really enjoy working with students and I feel that education is the most important aspect of an individuals life. I have taught at John W. North High School in Riverside, Ca. One of my assignments was to fill in for an AP Statistics teacher while she was on maternity leave. Since that day I have feel in love with biostatistics and took all of my graduate level electives in Biostatistics courses.

My teaching style is dependent on the population (age, class size, group type, socio-economic status of school community, availability of materials). In all cases, I prefer to individualize as much as possible- doing heavy diagnostics to find strengths and weaknesses so I can teach to the strengths and buoy up the weaknesses. I try to be positive, firm but kind, and am open to the uniqueness in each student. Also, due to my vast life experiences, I feel I can roll with the punches much easier now than when I was younger. 3 years inner city schools in Chicago South Side grades 1-3 1 year in residential facility for severely emotionally handicapped children- taught English, reading, math, life skills grades 4-8 2 years ESL, reading to tri lingual high school students ( English, Spanish, Yaqui) at risk students 1 year RSP resource teacher grades 1-6 1 year writing curricu

I am returning to teaching after years in sales and marketing and now find I have a burning desire to help young people. My teaching career is varied- I have taught very diverse student populations, and age groups from Kindergarten to College, finding benefits at every stage of development. I was trained by some of the top people in the education field to diagnose and remediate many basic learning problems in reading, math and language. Currently I am teaching remedial reading at a local community college and have received high marks in peer and student evaluations. I love to teach and my students tell me that it shows. I like to evaluate the student to see where they have strengths and weaknesses and how they best respond to instruction. I take skills and break them down to small pieces, to give the student a feeling of success and mastery which can propel them to strive a

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 also love the Sciences, and find Chemistry one of my top subjects. 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 o
