Hi, I’m Alene Deyein
FOUNDER & LEAD TUTOR
Teaching is my calling and my passion. I started as a kindergarten teacher, and moved to 4th and 5th grade, special education (mild-to-moderate learning disabilities) for elementary, middle and high school and then on to adult education. In adult education, I have taught computer basics, Microsoft office suite, English as a Second Language, and Adults with Disabilities. I hold a California teaching credential, as well as certification in Teaching English as a Second Language (TESOL). I have held credentials in Multiple Subjects (K-12) and Special Education (mild to moderate). I have taught for over 25 years and worked with diverse groups of students, including spending five years in Saudi Arabia teaching university-level English as a Second Language. I have loved and enjoyed working with students of all ages and from all over the world!
I have yet to meet a student who did not want to learn! I believe it is my job to help them find the best way to love the process of learning.
Tutoring is one of the best ways to work with your student. They deserve that chance and that opportunity.
My Philosophy.
My goal is to create an engaging student-centered and creativity-inducing learning environment. I employ Kolb's theory of experiential learning and structure my tutoring objectives to encompass critical thinking and the effective application of skills. I strive to create a climate of trust so that students feel empowered, confident, and unafraid to express themselves. This is vital in creating a foundation for them to reach their goals and achieve their greatest potential.
LET’S WORK TOGETHER
Through focused one-on-one tutoring, I help adults and young students make progress on their educational goals.
