GED Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Summerland, CA

As a teacher, I try to empower my students to take responsibility for their actions and for their learning results. I try to lead them and to show them how and where to find the answers, but feel they learn best when they take the final step in the learning process and discover the answers with my guidance. The results are that they acquire not only knowledge, but the ability to process information and to solve problems. I am trained in teaching individuals with differences in learning styles, as well as in teaching English learners. I speak fluent French, am proficient in Spanish and Italian, and am passionate about French/France and English literature. I share this passion with my students. I have experience teaching French and English at the high school level at a private/Catholic high school in Ventura County. I have held this full-time teaching position for 2 years. Prio

As a graduate of Sociology I have gained a lot of knowledge about how society functions. I was interested in this area of study to understand peoples because I have always had compassion for others. I have participated in a 4 unit class where i taught Spanish to 8-11 year old children and it consisted of developing a plan that included songs and dancing to learn Spanish in a fun and animated way. I have done research on homelessness, and had an internship with a non profit that provides social services for those in need. Working closely with this organization has helped me assess peoples needs and use problem solving skills to help individuals in a variety of situations. I enjoy teaching and working with children and feel that it is important to understand that not all students learn the same way. I feel that my college experience has taught me to discover the ways I learn and understan

While attending Junior High School, I decided to teach-particularly mathematics. I believe that every student can learn and that most problems come from not have a solid background and/or not finding a way of learning the particular subject. There are a variety of ways of learning, and each student and even each subject requires analysis and implementation and each student is individually important. I strive not only to provide instruction in particular courses but also to teach students how to learn on their own. I believe that each individual's future is either restricted or broadened by her or his education and my job is to open horizons for students.. During 38 years of high school teaching I have taught standard, college prep and honors courses in science, math and video production. This includes general science, physical science, biology, and physics; general math, pre-algebra,

My teaching style is to show students how to make themselves successful. By motivating my students to do their best every time I can help them exceed expectations and thrive under any situation both academically and socially. Many students focus on what they think they cannot do. What I teach them is to highlight their strengths and improve their weaknesses. I do so with the use of clear directions, constant monitoring, and positive praise. I believe every child can learn it is merely a matter of finding the proper teaching method. As a University of South Florida college of education graduate I have a wealth of experience with teaching both in the classroom and on a one to one basis. I have successfully tutored students in english, reading comprehension, science and social sciences. During my internship I taught all manner of history classes including AP world history and Psychology. In

Tutoring has been an extremely rewarding experience. I am an efficient yet compassionate teacher who works well with learners of all ages. I am especially experienced at helping high school students and college students with their analytical reading and writing skills. Besides assisting students academically, I try to set a good example as a mentor and role model. Sharing my own academic experiences with the student creates an atmosphere of trust and respect. It is my belief that tutoring is a holistic endeavor, one predicated on facilitation and teamwork, rather than unilateral instruction. For the last four months, I have been volunteering as a writing coach for the Posse Foundation, an organization that gives college scholarships to NYC public high school students. With Posse, I lead and facilitate bi-weekly writing sessions for 11 Posse Scholars who are honing their essay writin

Throughout my life I have been extremely dedicated to the education process, for both myself and others. I received my BA in 2007 with a double major in American Studies and Film. I am currently an advanced degree student studying towards a Master's in Library and Information Science. My chosen professional field and my personal experiences have made me a literacy advocate. I have been writing high level essays and research papers for the past five years; this has taught me grammatical and stylistic skills that enable me to teach Language Arts at all levels. Furthermore, I have been tutoring general and SAT level reading, writing and math for students K-12 for the last two years. Teaching and helping students grow is my passion.

My goal as a teacher is to ensure that my students hone in on their individual skills and talents. In doing this, I create an atmosphere that is most conducive to learning. This is done through proper assessment and by challenging students at different levels with supplemental assignments and texts. Likewise, I typically design my classroom so that anyone walking into my room would have an enjoyable learning experience simply by viewing the walls. Sometimes, I have been called unconventional, but I think that within a changing society, it is very important to be able to teach "outside the box." As I graduated number seven in my class, I was always a go-getter and an overachiever, especially within my field of study. Over the past 15 years, I have managed to earn a BA in Speech, an MA in Communications and over 10 years collective teaching experience at the high school, undergraduate, an

I worked in educational assessment for eight years, developing custom tests (in the reading/language arts and social studies content areas) for state departments of education. My focus was on creating tests (multiple-choice and essay-based) in alignment with state standards. In light of my extensive assessment experience, I understand how tests are written and organized, and I understand how to help students prepare for tests, as well as how to complete other assignments. Earlier, I worked as a substitute teacher at the elementary, middle school, and high school levels, and also taught Algebra I for three summers at a high school. I understand what teachers are likely to expect of students at various grade levels and in various subjects. I enjoy reviewing an assignment, lesson, chapter, or other student material, and determining what is needed from the student. I also believe in makin

As a young lawyer, I am proficient in all subject matters and excel in grammatical skills and language arts. I graduated cum laude from Georgetown University Law Center in Washington DC. I have taken advanced courses in legal writing and learned the import of concise, clear writing. I earned my undergraduate degree at The Ohio State University where I graduated with honors, with distinction, and magna cum laude. To obtain these honors, I completed a rigorous curriculum including courses in calculus, biology, chemistry, and French. In the last ten years, I have tutored elementary, high school, and college-aged students. I ask students demonstrate the skills they already possess, working step-by-step through subject matters with the student taking the lead. I also work to build studying skills by assisting students in looking up information they do not know and methods they are strug
