...taught third and second grade and plan to "loop" up with my third graders and teach fourth grade. I have been tutoring one on one with students for three years as well.

...long absence from school, and deficiencies in prerequisite material. Personally, I like math. I'm fascinated by the different fields and the history of how people solve new problems. While I find math exciting and interesting to study, I do realize not everyone needs to know Calculus or Abstract Algebra to be successful. If you are the kind of person who doesn't like math, that's okay. I have experience adapting material to different learning methods.... When working...

...of thinking, not just solving. Instead of showing you how to do one single problem at a time, I will show you different ways to look at a problem and figure out the best approach to solve it. I am also bilingual since Spanish is my first language. I can read, speak, and write in Spanish very well and that is another tool I have at my disposal if necessary for explaining any types of concepts.

...disabilities. I have also run after school enrichment programs for gifted students that have received commendations from state officials. I specialize in tailoring instruction to the learner's strengths, particularly for more visual learners. My instruction on fractions has been called the clearest the interviewer had seen. I am a generalist up through the high school level in content. In math I can teach up through Geometry effectively, and I have a great method for writing...

...Biology. I find that for most students what makes any subject hard is being unable to use what you already know and not knowing how to tackle the subject. I want to help students by giving them multiple access points and allowing them to access whatever content they desire at their current level. I believe the most important way to help students learn in is to relate content to their current interests and future goals....

...guitar, ice skating, golfing and watching football. As a Finance major, I have always been interested in investing, real estate, capital markets and entrepreneurship. These fields require ambition, persistence, knowledge and initiative to achieve success. Solving problems in the business world can be very similar to solving problems in the classroom.

...come to me for a single session or we meet every week for a semester, I believe the first step to success with tutoring is to work together to set clear expectations. This lets us work toward the same goal, and makes it simple to set milestones to get there. Any problem area in any subject can be broken into smaller and smaller pieces, until suddenly you realize there was never a problem to begin...

...is, of course, the main purpose of education. I feel that the concept of learning should be molded around three steps. First, learn and understand the material presented. Second, independent thought is essential to the development of every student. Being able to form unique independent ideas to solve problems is the next step in the formal learning process. Finally, the use of learned concepts in new situations is essential for the student to prove understanding....

...is a fascinating subject because it is the building blocks for life. Once you understand Biology, you will understand the way everything is connected in the world. My teaching style focuses on the student's weaknesses and overcoming those weakness to become strengths for the student. In my spare time, I dance to several types (Hip-Hop, Bollywood), sing, and cook. I like to cook something new everyday to bring some variety to food.

...on that journey. I hold a master's in education from Grand Canyon University and a Bachelor of Arts in Education from Arizona State University. Experience in tutoring extends from being the Saturday school coordinator at my local high school, to working with at-risk students in a credit recovery setting at an online night school.

...During my career I was repeatedly nominated by students as Site Teacher of the Year. In 2008, I was recognized as School Site Teacher of the Year and nominated for San Diego Teacher of the Year.

...OH, with a B.S. in Accounting. I have tutored in many diverse subjects, but am most passionate about teaching accounting, math, and history. I believe the best foundation for learning is to be a well-rounded and constant reader, and will often recommend various books to read along with normal studies to enhance the educational experience. My basic approach is to break a subject down into its fundamental concepts and make sure the student has a...

...from tests and homework until finally graduation. School isn't the sole medium by which to inquire about and learn more of the world, but it's the best system we've got. Yet even still, it isn't perfect. People learn in different ways, and sitting in a classroom isn't always going to allow for optimal learning conditions. That's where I come in. By tutoring, myself and others are able to directly work with individuals until comprehension, understanding,...
