General Tutoring
About
I have completed at least 1000hrs of tutoring from elementary schoolers to community college students and university students. I have always loved teaching and have found that I'm good at it. I tutored throughout high school, both informally and through various institutions.
I have over 100hrs of volunteering at schools where I worked primarily with 4th and 5th graders (but gained experience with all ages). Other than that, I worked at the Sierra College tutoring center for about a year as a general tutor (helping with any subject) and as an embedded peer tutor (helping in specific classes). I also have been a teaching assistant at CSU Long Beach for 3 semesters, tutoring and occasionally lecturing for a Personality class and fully teaching the lab of an Intermediate Psychology Statistics class.
In psychology, we learn about how we learn. I have been able to apply those concepts to my own learning and that of my students. I am excited to have my BA and start grad school this Fall.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I like to find out what help is needed (understanding the questions, or understanding the concepts themselves) and find something to make the learning more fun. For each concept learned, I try to develop steps for how to find the answer.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have over 100hrs of volunteering at schools where I worked primarily with 4th and 5th graders (but gained experience with all ages). Other than that, I worked at the Sierra College tutoring center for about a year as a general tutor (helping with any subject) and as an embedded peer tutor (helping in specific classes).

How did you get started teaching?
Students around me were struggling with concepts that I understood, so I offered to explain topics in a new way. Turns out, I was good at it.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with students ranging from Elementary School all the way through a 4-year university. Many students I have worked with have IEPs, too.
