A Little Bit About Me...

I work well with children of all ages and am considerably patient, easygoing, although stern as well with my students. My teaching style consists of visual illustrations mixed with a lecture or teaching session. Through my experiences at USD I have determined that the amalgamation of these two styles produce more stimulating teachings as well as information retention being maximized as well. I typically work off of a performance based reward system since it appears to me that children are motivated by praise and reward in order to push them to do better on each successive obstacle they encounter in the classroom
I just graduated in May 2009 with my Bachelor of Science in Psychology and am currently working on obtaining my Masters Degree in Human Factors Psychology. I also obtained minor degrees in English and Entrepreneurial Studies at USD. Consequently I believe that through ... read more

I have always been driven to do more with my life. I have always had goals in life and often times pursued them. My BS degree in Biology was one of these goals I have accomplished. In my education at the University of South Dakota, I have learned many skills that I know I will use in the future. Some of these sills not only include the studies of Biology and Chemistry, but also my Spanish speaking skills have improved. I have also learned a great deal about the fine arts which was never my specialty in high school. Along with the educational skills come the skills of working with different types of people and learning patience along the way. My easygoing manner helps students face their math anxiety. I am good at keeping students on task. I am able to break complex problems into small understandable parts. I have extensive experience in applying mathematical concepts in the real world th ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I spent a year overseas right out of high school tutoring my cousins. Later, after college, I volunteered to teach Spanish at a "homeschool" in Oregon for 3 months, then spent 6 months teaching Spanish then guitar at Lane Community College. I was assistant teacher for 2 years at a Christian preschool in Kennewick, WA. I have taught private lessons for 4 or 5 years altogether in the various places I have lived, teaching piano, guitar, voice and Spanish. Once I even taught English as a second language for a while. I enjoyed teaching basic music theory and how to play piano by ear to a blind student once. He made me proud at the recital.
I like to tailor my curriculum to fit the particular student that I am working with. Each child learns differently and has different goals and motivations, as well as different strengths and weaknesses. Those who know me well say I have great p ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have earned two Associates Degrees in my native Mexico, in the city of Merida. I came to the USA in 1978 and continued my studies in Elementary Education, which has enabled me to gain an understanding of the English language. I have 4 years of experience substituting as an ESL teacher as well as teaching the 4 High School levels of Spanish in the South Sioux City Community School District, During the past 12 years I have also tutored individual High School students in the Spanish language.
I love teaching and working with all children, and I love to teach my own native language as well as my own culture. I believe all children can learn, but each in different ways. I have the capabilities to help your child to speak, write and read in the Spanish language. I utilize different teaching methods to acquire a new language through role play, discovery and in providing a construct ... read more
