My goal is to help students conquer their problems in the classroom and in their homework.

Teaching has been an important part of my life. I believe within a structured learning environment, it is possible to provide an open-ended approach to learning. Through my experiences teaching in a variety of environments to a variety of students, I have learned flexibility in learning and teaching modalities. Students learn in different ways and it is my responsibility as an educator to find the best approach for each child. Learning should be and can be fun. I want your child to find academic success, better study methods and greater critical thinking skills. My goal is to impart to my students, a passion for life-long learning.

I have worked both at private and public middle schools. I've gained great respect for diversity in all it's wonderful forms. My experience has taught me that each child, not only deserves, but dreams of success. My belief that each child is "gift-brilliant" in some area, grows stronger the more experienced I become in my career as an educator and as a parent. Having taught for 8 years, and through my own personal journey, I firmly believe that it is not our children that have difficulties learning, it's us who have difficulties teaching; we need to develop strategies that meet each child's learning style. And when we master that, each child will thrive through our efforts. My teaching style can best be described through the overall goals of the school I am currently working at: fostering self-esteem through respecting each child's diverse nature; cooperation and communication, student

I believe there are multiple learning styles. One of my goals as a teacher is to find each students' learning style and teach to fit their needs. I believe that practice makes perfect but also that learning needs to be fun. I set the bar high for my students and do my best to help motivate them to reach a high standard.

Teaching is a reciprocal experience for the mentor and the mentee. I believe in fostering a learning environment for my students that is both participatory and relevant to a their individual learning style and interests. Working one-on-one with a child, adult, or in a small group is a privilege and affords the opportunity to do more than just teach; it is an important opportunity to help to empower someone to "learn how to learn." In my teaching, I believe that developing confidence, self-discipline, and appropriate learning tools is just as important as mastery of any particular subject. In any interaction with a student, I understand and value my role as a tutor, and I aim to inspire and to set a positive example.

With my background in social work and facilitation, I have learned that flexibility and patience are critical when teaching young people. Each session with a young person involves meeting the child where they arere at, honoring and praising what they do possess, and then moving forward to areas that may be a bit more challenging. Through my education and experience in working with young people, I have been fortunate enough to utilize my communication skills to assist young people with emotional needs learn math and english in a creative but producitive way. I also have taught parents of high school students social and communication skills in an effort to positively communicate with their children.

I use a teaching paradigm that stresses the importance of student's needs and learning styles. Every student brings unique skills and perspectives to the classroom and tutor session, and because of this I have found that my teaching strategy changes per student and per teaching situation. For some students, being taught using the socratic method works well, while others like to take notes, absorb the material, then ask questions later during office hours. I have found that understanding student's learning methods have helped me to become a better teacher. As a student at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo I was interested in English education, especially in terms of helping students improving their reading and writing skills. I followed this interest by tutoring at the university writing lab, as well as doing frequent one-on-one tutor sessions with students in need. At the end of each quarter I co
