Hello learners,

I've been instructing in the classroom for more than 10 years. Before that, I helped my children's teachers when they were in school. I was born to share knowledge. I've worked with many learners, who learn and behave in many different and challenging ways.

I've enjoyed helping diverse learners with multiple intelligences and challenging behaviors, from kindergarten to college. Whether a student has organizational or study skill issues, reinforcement of key core academic components always helps to strengthen a student's confidence and knowledge of what they can do. With hard work, persistence, and determination, nothing is impossible, if you believe. You really can learn something new everyday, even if it's about yourself! I look forward to your response.

Reading

To be able to understand the written word is perhaps the most crucial communicative tool of society. Students can struggle with meaning when the very basics of not understanding words and the context with which they are used are minimal or worse, nonexistent.
Learning and applying techniques or strategies that enable students to decode and identify words will eventually help with reading automaticity, fluency, and comprehension. These skills will be life-long tools that will make reading... Read More

Writing

The expression of words that convey a complete, meaningful thought, legibly communicated and authored by young minds is one of the most crucial aspects of English Language Arts. Along with Reading, Word Analysis, Fluency, and Listening and Speaking Skills, to name a few, Writing Standards remain high within the California Framework for English Language Arts. Young learners that study printing and later cursive writing will soon find that the art of effectively copying letters and words can be... Read More

English

*English Language Arts, within the Framework of the California Department of Education, includes the ability to effectively read, write, and speak Standard American English with optimal success. Middle School Students will also learn the importance of Public Speaking and how the knowledge of applying the foundations of all aspects of *ELA will help with every other subject and curriculum they shall study on their academic journey.

ESL/ESOL

I have tutored adult speakers of other languages and possess the qualities necessary to successfully guide students into communication with Standard American English.
Learners are most productive when instruction is relevant, engaging,and reciprocal. We always learn from each other!
With my patience and flexibility, please allow me to serve your English needs with the utmost care. Your journey will be most rewarding with the acquisition of another language.

Spelling

Within the English Language Arts Framework of Reading Comprehension for all learners, Spelling is achieved when aspects of phonemic awareness including letter identification and decoding skills are mastered. Basic to word anaylsis is a students awareness of not only how words are spelled, but the structure of a word in assisting in its description. Automatic recognition (automaticity) in spelling of familiar everyday sight words will help any new learner quickly grasp more irregular words as they... Read More

Elementary (K-6th)

I've attended Sonoma State's School of Education and am completing Chapman University for M. A in Teaching. My undergraduate studies within the School of Education included teaching reading in elementary and secondary education, math applications for student learners, and basic science and social studies topics that align with the California Framework of Standards and Benchmarks for Public Schools.

Many pacing guides that have been adopted by districts can be successful in implementing... Read More

Study Skills

The subject of Study Skills involves various methods of organization that aides the student in effectively obtaining and maintaining key information crucial to academic success.
Some of the effective methods that I've used with students in the past include but are not limited to; using acronyms and mnemonics for remembering lists of data in particular order, outline and notetaking for highlighting key pieces of information for study, and cue and flash cards for impromptu memorization exercises...

Special Needs

I've taught learning handicapped students and students who have been identified as severe, emotional, disturbed. Special needs learners thrive from one-on-one attention, organizational skills, positive behavior support, relevant repetition, and the ability to progress in a way that complements their learning style.

I've been fortunate to use multiple modalities in order to engage the many diverse learners that have identifiable learning challenges. Gaps in processing, whether visual... Read More

Bible Studies

Part of my undergraduate studies included many of the religions of the world. Though I am not a Bible Scholar, although I've been called one, my interest in Christianity, it's ancient beginnings, and significance in the world today, help strengthen my faith.

I teach Sunday School and have been appointed as a Youth Leader of the Puritans. Since I do have young people that I must instruct in the ways of the Bible, I find that leading by example works quite well for me. In the past, I've... Read More

ADD/ADHD

I have worked in the classroom since 1998 helping students who have been identified with Attention Deficit Disorder, Attention Deficit Hyper-Active Disorder, and Oppositional Defiance Disorder. I have used many strategies, techniques, and skills that have aided these students in re-focusing, relaxing, and re-positioning themselves in the learning environment so that everyone is able to benefit in the academic atmosphere.
For many of my academic lessons, I employ a variety of prompts to... Read More

CBEST

I completed and passed my CBEST in October 2003 as part of the Project Quest Teacher Recruitment Program to Sonoma State. I was admitted to the School of Education. Currently, Sonoma State has an alternative Teacher Program.
