Hi!
My name is Russell and I can't wait to begin helping you better understand the material that your teachers require you to know. I have been teaching for the Stockton Unified School District for 8 years (I began teaching when I was only 25!). I've taught mainly 5th grade but also taught 3rd grade for a couple of years. This year I've decided to take a break from the classroom and devote my knowledge and expertise to the people that truly need it....you!
My approach to teaching is simple: if you take time to know each student you deal with both personally and professionally, you will be more effective and the student will be more successful and confident in their own abilities. I make concepts, rules, directions, steps, etc. easier for you to understand so that you can't wait to share your "brilliance" with your class. Ok, maybe you won't be counting the minutes until the bell rings but you will be better prepared and at ease the next time the material is discussed!
In closing, I hope that I have said enough here for you to select me as your tutor and if I haven't, I wish you only the best this school year!
