Elementary Tutor and Student Development

Patience is one word to describe my teaching style. My main objective is to work with students on goal-setting and then concentrate on how to meet those goals.
My teaching experience includes several semesters of substitute teaching, and tutoring locally for 2+ years as a part-time job, dirived from volunteering as a tutor for family members and friends. As a tutor, it is my job to help students with whatever it is they are struggling in and turn their struggles to successes. I specialize in working with those who want to become better readers - comprehension, fluence, vocabulary, phonics and spelling are all key to becoming a better reader.

Composition is one of my top subjects!

I have taught public school for 16 years, and travelled widely. Taught ESL in Japan, Panama and Germany. I try to find a method of teaching to match a student way of learning. I am certified K-12, and have taught all levels. I Have taught on two Native American Reservations, and in Japan. I also have a two year certificate from Europe in Merchandising, and have had my own cake decorating business in Panama
I try to adapt methods to the student learning style

Working with central city and at-risk youth is my life work. For the past ten years I have worked in a myriad of social service and educational settings employing a plethora of strategies aimed at helping central city and at-risk students achieve academic, career and social success. What's more, as a former struggling central city and at-risk student, I understand that students can only learn when they can make meaning out of their learning experience. For that reason, my efforts are targeted at the aforementioned population group as I have an empathic understanding of how to overcome the obstacles and barriers that limit their academic success.
Teaching and learning are inextricably linked. Hence, I espouse to an approach that focuses more on tapping into the students learning schema than on teaching/tutoring per se. That being said, I am very interested in establishing the mo ... read more

As a graduate from the University of the Pacific, I was able to attain the honor of Magnum Cum Laude while pursuing my BA in Psychology. The extensive research required in my field has allowed me to achieve a high level of writing skills, analytical skills, and math skills. For the past four years I have more specifically enjoyed being able to tutor students with mathematical difficulties, although I have also tutored in grammar, writing, and Spanish.
Over the years I have been able to work with all ages ranging from preschoolers to adult students. What has struck me most is the vast array of learning styles. I take pride in my ability to successfully and effectively adapt to each and every student I mentor. My strong belief in all students to do well has been the greatest influence in my overall teaching style. I do not give the answer to a problem or show the student how to do it ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style is progressive. I believe education should be entertaining, however not entertainment. I enjoy challenging my students, however to do this effectively it is important that they remain engaged. One of the ways in which I do this is to encourage students to think creatively. Creativity is the key to success with education. Not only does it foster confidence and positive self-esteem, creativity keeps the brain on its toes, so to speak, by continually challenging students’ abilities and forcing students to expand beyond their academic comfort zone. Teaching students to develop new ways to solve problems generates the confidence needed to succeed not only in school but also in life.
My interest in becoming a tutor stems from my life long passion for teaching and learning. Throughout the past eight years, I have focused my efforts on soaking up my education and research ... read more

I have a very broad education. Before entering UCI, I attended Cerritos College in Norwalk, CA. There I took many hours of classes in the humanities as well as two years of calculus and differential equations. Thus I have wide ranging experience in writing/critiquing and preparing lab reports, grant proposals, and scientific journal articles. I have also helped pre-med students prepare various letters and documents for applying to medical schools.
I have always greatly enjoyed my own educational experience. That has always helped fuel my passion for assisting others in their educations. Though I enjoy working with children, much of my tutoring experiences has been at the college level. I also learned how to present almost any subject in several different ways, in order to be most effective in my tutoring.

I recently graduated from the University of Colorado with a bachelor's degree in architecture which allowed me to be very understanding of math and science while also gaining a strong inclination to creativity. I taught swimming lessons and tennis lessons to children for five years and I previously worked at a summer day camp for kids ages 3-13. I am CPR and Red Cross certified, and I have a great passion for working with children. I took advanced placement English and math classes in high school and in college I used my electives towards classes such as creative writing, economics, psychology, and education classes. As I complete my teaching certification and masters of education at UNLV, I hope to help children through school by becoming a tutor.

As a Teacher I would try to plan my lessons and educational activities with a clear view to enable the students to succeed. I would provide my students with lots of opportunities to demonstrate and reflect upon their knowledge I often ask students to develop practical applications for self- evaluation. The goal of evaluation is often to enable the student to appraise their own learning abilities and learn to work independently under his or her own initiative.Communication between learner and teacher is very important and should be a critical part of teaching I believe that allowing student to teacher discussion and student to student communication allows for personal flexibility

I am warm hearted and fun loving and I enjoy working and being energized by the youthful spirit. I have been teaching music for over 30 years but found out 5 years ago I have a great deal to offer as an academic tutor.
My first belief is that you have to make a student believe in themselve. You do this by letting them know that the system has failed them, but together we can bridge the gap of what you need now to get your grades caught up and work backwards to learn what you have missed.

I love working with kids and watching them learn and grow. It amazes me every year to see students who don't believe in themselves grow into kids who see their full potential. The light in their eyes is priceless. My approach to teaching is along the lines of the "Love and Logic" program. I believe that when children are offered choices, they feel more empowered to make decisions that are best for their futures and who they want to become. I also believe that modeling what I expect is the best way to achieve positive results in student behavior and work ethic. Students will always see me working hard!
