Learning can be fun!!

When tutoring, I strive to make lessons engaging, effective and enjoyable. Specifically, I tailor lessons according to an individual student's needs and involve students in a dialogue by asking questions that provoke thought, conversation, and perhaps humor. Because facts and figures are easily looked up in the information age, I place particular emphasis on thinking and on "learning how to learn". My teaching goals for any student are threefold: 1. learn the material (well!) 2. pass the test/subject (with a comfortable margin!), and 3. enjoy it (most challenging with math!).
I love learning and teaching alike. My first teaching experience was in high school when I helped teach inner city children how to swim. Following high school, I earned a bachelor's degree in genetics at UC Berkeley, during which time I worked as a teacher's assistant for a genetics professor. While in m ... read more

I am a retired teacher, middle school, high school and district office administrator. I have worked with supplemental providers in my past position as Director of Curriculum and Instruction (Ed.

I am very skilled at the writing process, reading process and using effective instructional practices.
I am a hands on conceptual style learner and like to teach the same way, I believe that students that can see the "why" can understand and retain what they learn. Engaging learners by using hands on activites can facilitate the learning process.

All students can learn, but in different ways. I, for one, learn best by watching how something is done. I can read about it, or hear a lecture about it, but seeing it helps me understand the subject. This type of teaching would be done with movies, drawing or acting out the situation. In my teaching, I try to use all methods available to me to help the students learn and to use their creativity. I especially try to get students to work in groups and to share their work with each other. I find that pier groups provide the best help in understanding the subject matter. The classroom should be a learning place of activities and fun.
I started substitute teaching in 1983 while I was working on my Master's Degree at California State University, Long Beach. I have been a substitute teacher in Long Beach, Santa Barbara, Glendale, and Palm Springs. I have had experience as a long ... read more

One of the key elements of tutoring is communication between the tutor and student. Encouraging discussion instead of lecturing of the subject is important. Facilitating good rapport allows me to understand a student’s strengths and weaknesses and allows focus on the weak areas. For example, does the student primarily utilize rote memorization or is he/she capable of a higher level of critical thinking? Someone who is more familiar with memorization as a way of learning can be taught to expand their understanding of the subject if the right questions are asked to them. Someone that demonstrates higher critical thinking skills might do better with repetitive exercises on the subject which encourages focus and application.
Although I tutored math (geometry, algebra II) and biology in high school, I ended up graduating from UCLA with a BA in Political Science. Somewhat of an abo ... read more

I believe in you, and I believe in our ability to work together. Finding the right way to connect with my students is an exciting challenge. My students have included preschoolers to senior citizens, third world farmers to education professionals. Learning should be structured. Learning should be fun. Whenever appropriate, I use games and activities. Hablo Español. Escribí un manuál sobre conservación de los recursos naturales. Además, di pláticas a trabajadores agrícolas en como evitar el abuso del tabáco. Let's work together.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a natural teacher, and my experiences reflect that. For example, I am currently working my way through CSU Palm Desert's multiple subject credential. However, the open position I am applying for requires an “Adult Education Writing Tutor”. As a student and professional, I have had many, many opportunities to hone my writing craft. For example, as an adjunct to my recent studies, I took the Masters "Writing 101" class, which instructed me (among other things) in the finery of APA format. While my in-class performances certainly indicates my ability to write at the graduate level, it is also my professional teaching experience that I believe will convince you to allow me to deliver your services: I possess valuable experience working with students, having several years of small classroom leadership (and one-on-one instruction) with adult learners.

I bring my strong desire to learn into the sessions to show each child there can be a joy in learning and discovery. I am motivated to find a child’s individual learning style and interests then apply these to the teaching material. As I believe this is a proven method of learning. I believe that patience, by both the instructor and student, is an essential part of learning as development follows a step-wise model. I love working with children, to watch the flash of pride at discovering or learning a new skill makes the future seem much brighter.
In obtaining a B.S. in Exercise Science and an A.S. in Respiratory Therapy I have a strong background in science and health. My strength also lies in reading and grammar as a college student preparing lab and research papers to my work as a Respiratory Therapist reading journal articles and teaching from an evidence-based approach. ... read more

As a United States Peace Corps Volunteer, I worked with local youth in a Fijian village over the course of two years. I created a study groups based on education level and subject matter for the young adults living in the community. I focused lessons on English reading and comprehension, effective writing skills, algebra, calculus, and basic science. Working with youth from another culture and in a foriegn language forced me to gain strong interpersonal skills, innovative ways to tutor students, and the patience to work with students to achieve their academic goals.
I worked with students from the age of eight to eighteen. Each age group provided its own set of challenges and opportunities to strengthen my experience as a tutor. I worked with children in small groups or one-on-one, based on the child's learning style. I encouraged the children to set their academic goals high ... read more

It is essential that the student learns, both the basics and the specifics of the subject matter being presented to him or her. It is equally essential that the instructor presents those concepts to the student in a manner that is clear, easy to understand and meaningful. Not only have I been colleged trained as a professional educator with BS degrees in Biological Sciences and Human Anatomy & Physiology, I possess additional inherent skills and talents that enable me to teach effectively and for the student to learn significantly as a result. I have sucessfully taught and tutored students in general, college prep and advanced biology and anatomy.
I found consistently thoughout my teaching career that learning is enhanced with adjunctive, extensive illustrations and a hands on approach with related laboratory investigations whenever possible. I so enjoy my approach to teaching ... read more
