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. 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.

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

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.

I enjoy working with high school and college-age students who are committed to success. I am a firm believer in the maxim that your success in understanding or mastering a concept is directly proportional to the amount of effort you are willing to apply to it. I love helping my students grasp difficult concepts and watching the pride they develop in themselves as a result. I also enjoy teaching adults new skills and helping them overcome their initial fears of failure and feelings of insecurity. Everyone is capable of learning something new- it is never too late! I am a very patient and methodical instructor who tailors each tutoring course to the individual student's needs. I have earned a BA in Social Science and an MA in History, as well a California Community College Teaching Certification.

I love working with all children. Every child, adolescent, and adult have different learning capabilities. I am here to find which suits them the best.

Through motivation and positivity, my goal is to make a difference in the lives of children. Knowing they can succeed, is the first step in becoming successful! As a graduate of PLNU, I always new that I wanted the challenge to teach High school. I have always been driven in education, whether is it working with youth in a camp setting or a class room setting. I feel that not everyone works well in a class room and that is okay.

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

With respect to my teaching style, I liken it to a series of books written by Isaac Asimov entitled, Understanding Physics. These books have little math but explain the physical concepts in a story-like fashion. I find this very important because many physics books and instructors put too much emphasis on the mathematics and not enough on conveying the physical concepts. The result is a student who is unable to solve physics problems. First, the student must know the physical concept which then enables them to apply the correct mathematics in order to solve the problem. Mathematics is an art in itself but is simply a tool to solve physics problems. Instructed all physics laboratories at San Diego State University for calculus and non-calculus based physics courses. These courses included: Mechanics, Electricity and Magnetism, and Modern Physics. Instructed a physics courses unde

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 abroad, which has enhanced my ability to communicate complex subject matter to a culturally varied student demographic. In Taipei, Taiwan, I prepared, facilitated and assessed English classes for local elementary, secondary, and adult Taiwanese students. While receiving my NCLB certified CLAD credential from SDSU, I served an inner-city population of students as a student teacher at San Diego High School, during which I had implemented and practiced effective teaching strategies to accommodate students with special needs and English Language Learners. I have since earned a CSET certification in general science and have designed technologically advanced units of

I have worked extensively with students in academics and many extracurricular activities for 5 years. I have worked with students as a teacher/tutor in math, oral language, reading, study skills, and writing. In addition, I worked as an Assistant Teacher for Audeo Charter School for 2 years. As an assistant teacher, I worked with students from 6th-12th grade - helping them with their work (i.e. composing essays, conducting research, or solving math problems). In addition to my duties, I also assist students in organizing and preparing their lessons, plus grading their work. I am also responsible for the classroom whenever the head teacher is not in. I have also worked for High Tech High for over a year now as an Academic Coach. I love math challenging myself and working with children (students).

I am a dynamic, energetic instructor with high standards. My enthusiasm for teaching is obvious in the time and energy I spend to help my students succeed. I want my students to be able to use higher levels of critical thinking skills and become effective problem solvers, not just robots who can memorize facts. Having worked with students of all ages and levels, I find that there are rarely children I can't reach, regardless of disabilities, abilities, or motivation. As a tutor, I have the joy of watching my students make progress in their class material as well as seeing their confidence rise. My goal is to make a strong positive impact on the lives of those I teach, and I work hard to achieve that goal. I have worked in education in some form since 1996 when I started as a campus supervisor at Twin Peaks Middle School. During the six years I worked at TPMS, I tutored students, co-facil

I am a patient teacher that understands that some concepts are not easily understood and simply repeating yourself without changing your tack will not bring about understanding. Providing real world examples that are relevant to a student's interests is one powerful way to encourage learning. With regards to math and science, I've often found that abstract theoretical concepts are more difficult to understand, whereas practical examples are more easy to visualize. Whenever possible, I try to create scenarios that apply in the real world so that the student can understand and apply the concept in the future. I am a synthetic Organic Chemist with over 7 years of industrial experience with Pfizer Inc. During this time period I routinely shared research progress with my peers and helped educate them on new reactions, instrumentation, techniques and methodology. During my studies at Kala

I consider that each student is capable to learn and to achieve an expected goal. I have tried in my years of tutoring to motivate student's learning skills by challenging them with new methods in solving a task. My teaching style varies depending on the group of students I am faced to. I have gone from one on one tutoring to a whole group experience. I am flexible to student's learning process. I can very well adapt and modify my lesson planning when the concept is being hard to understand. I am a responsible tutor, as well as confident, easy going and patient.
