About
I live in South Sacramento Greenhaven/Pocket area. I was born and raised in Sacramento, CA. My hobbies include: listening to music; watching movies; shopping; cooking; hanging out with family/friend... s; attending concerts/comedy shows; and fishing. My passion is my career working in the Special Education & Autism fields. I love children and teaching very much. What I like about tutoring is being able to provide the help/assistance children need in school and outside of school. Whether it's working on improving skills; bringing up school grades; understanding and explaining a topic or lesson that a student may need or offering help with homework. My tutoring philosophy would be that in order for tutoring to be successful the student should put forward the effort in their work and try their very best during the session. The tutoring session is a team effort and can only be successful if everyone works together. What makes me myself would be: I'm very hard-working; very patient; intelligent; loving; honest; compassionate and always willing to help those in need.read more
