Common Core and Elementary Math tutor

About Lara

Greetings!

To see the understanding spread across the child's face and then watch him apply the new understanding is one of the great joys and rewards of teaching. I have a knack of explaining concepts to children in ways they understand and relate to. I use a variety of methods and styles, zeroing in on the ones that benefit the child. I have a wide assortment of curriculum and write personalized curriculum when needed. To be part of assisting a child over an educational hurdle is one of the great rewards a teacher can experience!

I have worked in public, private, and home education. I taught 1st-3rd grade in public school, taught at private schools and home school programs and home educated my own children. Currently, I tutor extensively and work as a home school advisor.

I am familiar with many styles of learning and education from unschooling to classical schooling.

I graduated with a BA in German from UCLA and have over 23 Master Degree units from BIOLA and GCU. In 1997, I earned a Multiple Subject Teaching Credential (K-8) with a CLAD emphasis (Cross-Cultural Language and Development), and ESL (English as a Second Language) from pre-school to adult as well as a Specialization in German to the ninth grade, at CSUSM.

Thank you for learning more about me and what I can offer you. Let's schedule a time to discuss your specific needs and how I can best help you.

Cordially,
Lara
