Bio
Students learn by doing. Repeating back what the teacher says is not as effective as a student engaging in the lesson and showing that they understand the content. I like using "exit tickets" in teaching where at the end of the day students answer a question discussed in the lesson that day. This is a meaningful evaluation of learning helping me to provide feedback if the student is still not understanding the content of the lesson. As a tutor, a personal relationship is foundational to student success -- the more connected a student feels to his or her tutor, the more the tutor creates trust and respect which are essential to a student's learning. When a tutor listens and spends time building a relationship with his or her student, that tutor can truly personalize the learning, incorporate connections to the student's interests, and teach to the student's strengths and minimize weaknesses.
Teacher Specialization
I hold a California Multiple Subjects Teaching Credential. I have 5 years of teaching and tutoring experience and taught a 2nd and 3rd grade combination class and three years of 4th grade. I also tutored students as a student in high school and college.
