My comments on tutoring Genetics : Genetics is one of our most exciting fields and I have had the pleasure of working with local BioTech companies on cutting-edge research in the area. The possibilities are endless, and the deeper you go, the more complicated it gets. For example, if the conditions are just right, you CAN have a brown-eyed child from two blue-eyed parents! It's true... look it up! Allow me to lead you through this exciting world and you might learn a little bit of family history as you go!

I have been teaching/tutoring students in life science for over 20 years, but it all started with my BA from UC Berkeley in Integrative Biology. At Berkeley I tutored/taught part-time as a Lab Teacher at Berkeley Community College, a study group leader at UC Berkeley student learning center, and a Kaplan MCAT tutor. I then earned my MA in Zoology (with a thesis in molecular evolution from University of South Florida) and mentored/taught College Freshmen Biology and worked in immunology at the Cancer Research Center. I moved back to the Bay Area and worked at Biotech companies including Genentech, and Amgen. In 2013 I earned my Biology and Chemistry California Teacher Credential from CSUEB, and now have been a full-time life-science teacher for 5 years for grades 7-12 in public, private, and specialized education schools. I have taught middle-school life-science, Biology, Marine Biol ... read more

I have a passion to empower students with the proper tools and techniques to learn more and be confident in the classroom. By being accessible, a great communicator, and creative, I am determined to provide each child with the assistance they need to reach academic success. I am able to adapt to how each child learns because I am open minded and patient with children. I enjoy teaching children “hands on” methods of learning the curriculum so that they can gain knowledge of the course material in an interesting and interactive way. It is very important to me that children discover new techniques to learning in a manner that fits their personality because not every child learns using the same techniques. Furthermore, I believe that a positive environment is always part of the educating process and I will strive to connect with each child in order to help children triumph.

As a biochemistry student at University of the Pacific, I was required to know the science so well that even if a random person on the street asks me a question, I would be able to explain it to him/her in a way that they could understand. I worked with a lot of excellent professors in lab and tutored a lot of students in grammar, math, sciences, psychology (one of my favor subjects), Spanish and Economics. I love to teach because I learn a lot myself by teaching.
I love working with students, and sharing my knowledge with them. I try to make the learning experience fun along with educational. I love to come up with new ways to help students remember there material. I believe that I have the experience and the knowledge to help someone else. I think a teacher can really change the way how students look at the world and their course material, and I want to make it so that every subj ... read more

I believe that positive reinforcement, patience, and a genuine desire to see one’s students excel is the best way to success. I feel that the only way to get through to a child is to be his or her friend first and foremost, and to treat him or her as an equal. I love being both a tutor and a friend. My approach to teaching is more hands-on, rather than lecture based, because I feel that if the child is actively participating the lesson will be more likely to stick. I enjoy helping children learn and can not even begin to describe how fulfilling it is to see a child finally grasp a difficult concept.
After earning my BS in Biological Sciences from UC Santa Barbara, I decided to live abroad in South America as a Peace Corps Volunteer to help others and put what I learned to practical use. I was stationed in Bolivia where I taught natural resource management, ecology, basic science, a ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Before teaching, I worked as a Doctor specializing in Clinical Pathology, including Microbiology. In this work, I studied in-depth the characteristics and life cycles of different microorganisms, including viruses, bacteria, protozoan, and fungi, and performed culture and sensitivity testing of the microorganisms. With my experience in the Clinical Pathology Training Program for 4 years, I decided to teach a Microbiology class, including laboratory, at Lorma Colleges in the Philippines. In this profession, I discovered my true passion: to demystify the perception of Microbiology as being difficult and uninteresting and to teach it as an appealing, fascinating subject.
As a former instructor in Microbiology for 3 years, I know the importance of being innovative in teaching in order for students to grasp seemingly complicated topics. Not only did I prepare lesson plans and lectu ... read more

I love teaching and working with all children. I believe all children can learn, but each in different ways. I am available to help your child find academic success. I am patient, easy going, and considerate. My goal is to provide the best education possible.

I strive to make a difference in all of my students' lives.
