Bio

Greetings to you all! My name is Almavida and I am a multiple subject credentialed teacher. Passionate and innovative are adjectives that would precisely describe me as an educator.

Greetings to you all! My name is Almavida and I am a multiple subject credentialed teacher. Passionate and innovative are adjectives that would precisely describe me as an educator. I have taught in both public and private sectors throughout Los Angeles County, mainly in the underserved Black and Latino communities as well as online platforms.

I have been teaching for about two decades and have extensive experience in the field of education. Teaching is all I know. My hands have been tried at every grade level ranging from Transitional Kindergarten to young adults. This also includes children with special needs. Additionally, I recently obtained a Master of Arts in Teaching from Biola University, which further expanded my pedagogical knowledge and cultural awareness of children in the special needs population.

As it pertains to teaching methodologies, I am extremely fond of incorporating the Visual and Performing Arts in all my lessons and will invest great effort into creatively finding multiple ways to make my teaching desirable to students. Therefore, it is not unusual for me to be seen using puppets to make real life connections or request that students sing or act, in lieu of a lengthy written summary. Consequently, I possess an eclectic style of relaying content and will never hesitate to implement humor. These skills and qualities are vital in the art of shepherding students from mundanity to magnificence in our world of education. With a dynamic imagination, effective strategies, and the desire to instill fond memories of education within your students (with your approval) I can take them there! I am looking forward to hearing from you!

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

I researched and wrote a 73 page thesis entitled, Research Guide for Educators and Families Meeting the Needs of Children with Autism, because of my son's diagnosis. The objective of my action research was to discover best practices strategies that were proven suitable and effective in instructing ASD students within the classroom and residential settings.
Elementary (K-6th)

Elementary (K-6th)

I have over 20 years of experience as a teacher. I have tried my hands at every grade level from the early primary, secondary and high school grade levels. My teaching credential is certified for instruction for all subjects.
Phonics

Phonics

Phonics is extremely vital in the early primary grades. As a TK/K/1st grade tri-combination teacher, I focused heavily on letter identification/sounds, including blending and chunking of words. Fluent readers are the outcomes of excellent phonics instruction. I am willing and able to provide this service for your child, utilizing engaging/entartaining teaching strategies.
TOEFL

TOEFL

I have experience teaching children ages 4-18, English online. These students resided in Beijing, China and required much phonetic assistance as well as accurate pronunciation, intonation/inflection and grammar. I am aware that students originating from differing countries may have commonalities in their challenges in learning the English language. I am equipped to help students triumph over the irregularities of the language.
Writing

Writing

I have written a plethora of creative poetic compositions since 1996 and have even posted some on my fairly new blog. Additionally, I have a Masters of Art in Teaching and was required to write very hefty and numerous, extensive papers/theses for my action research project, as well as writing literature reviews and research in culture and intercultural instruction.

Excellent tutor!!

We recently had our first session with Alma, and I couldn't be more pleased. My son absolutely loves her! Alma's interaction with him was engaging and thoughtful, making the learning experience enjoyable. It’s clear that she is both prepared and knowledgeable, which gives me confidence in her teaching abilities. I appreciate her dedication and the positive environment she creates. I look forward to seeing how my son continues to grow under her guidance!

Thank for such a delightful comment toward my professionalism, teaching style and rapport with M.! It was actually a very pleasant instructional period as he was easygoing and came prepared to learn. I thank parents like you for enforcing the importance of readiness! I do look forward to strengthening his ELA muscles in the very near future and hope he will glean all he needs to soar! Again, thank you deeply Alma and M!
