Private tutor in Huntington Beach, CA
Education
Multiple-Subject Teaching Credential at National University. B.A. Human Services at Cal State University Dominguez Hills
Experience
Substitute teaching experience for 15 years at multiple grade levels, which includes one-on-one and small-group targeted instruction and differentiated instruction for students with special needs, advanced learners, and English language learners. My certifications include: RICA, CBEST, CSET, and CPR, most of which demand rigorous testing for passing scores. Student teaching in 2nd and 5th grades with a strong focus in teaching math, reading, and writing. I wish to be a tutor because I believe in universal access for all students: that all children can learn and should be given multiple opportunities to succeed in school. When students fall behind or are struggling with difficult concepts, tutoring is an essential component in helping them to "catch up". The experience of getting through something difficult is a life lesson they will want to repeat over and over. Thus, continued success in school!

Hobbies
I love to read! I read every day and very much enjoy reading aloud to students, as well. I love movies, both at home and at the theater. Walking is my favorite "sport", but I also encourage students to share their favorite sport with me (and I understand all sports). My hobby is bird-watching at and around the beach. I truly believe that learning should be a fun, positive experience for children and endeavor to include it in all my lessons. Students should be encouraged to ask questions and there are no dumb questions.
