As a ski instructor, I've worked with children aged 3 - 12. Parents frequently praised my patience and ability to remain a calm, controlled and enthusiastic teacher. I believe in maintaining open lines of communication and that a good teacher must always remain receptive to his student's needs and interests. Students should have an interest in the subject and learning should follow from their character. Often times, we are overwhelmed by the expectations put upon us and we need only see our accomplishments within a perspective that incorporates our progress since we've begun. Throughout my education at UCLA, I took an avid and broad interest in all subjects, and finally chose to complement a degree in International Development with a smattering of engineering physics and multi-variable calculus. My work and extra-curricular experience has been broad and challenging. I've researched crime

Being a Statistics and Economics graduate, I have developed a strong statistics and math background. Throughout my academic life in UC Davis, I have devoted a great deal of time to analyze numerical and categorical data and have explored different statistical fields. Moreover, in leisure time, I volunteered at learning skill center, helping other students in need of assistant in economics, statistics, and mathematics classes. My energy, enthusiasm and passion for learning and teaching are unparalleled. I believe that all children learn differently. Therefore, I would not limit to one teaching style, and would adjust accordingly. My goal is to share my knowledge with children, providing the best eduction and leading them to academic success.

I was a Graduate Teaching Associate at Ohio State Uinversity Math Department, teaching college math recitation sections including Calculus and Pre-calculus courses from 1987 to 1993. Starting from 2009 till present time I have been a substitute math teacher in West Contra Costa Unified School District and I was an volunteer academic tutor for El Cerrito High School After School Program in 2009. Through the years that I taught I have developed an understanding of students' trouble in learning and could explain the details of material in a way well acceptable to students. I love teaching and working with high school and middle school students. I believe every child has ability to learn math though their learning styles are different. I am patient and hard working.

I think one of my greatest strengths as a tutor is my patience with students. I am very attentive to the frustrations that students sometimes undergo and I continue to work with students until they understand the concepts of the lesson, often trying different approaches until I find one that works for that student. I believe strongly in the idea that all students have the ability to learn, and that it is necessary to make learning interactive and relevant. I feel that it is important to encourage students, but I also pride myself on not offering empty praise, but rather pushing students to be able to explain how they came to an answer or conclusion. I believe students learn best in a supportive and comfortable environment, which is aided by my easy-going and friendly manner. My first tutoring experience actually began when I was a high school senior and tutored ESL students at South High

I left the business world in 1999 to make good on my goal of completing my degree and teaching. I wanted the strongest foundation possible, so I chose General Studies, sometimes known as "Humanities." Since getting my first credential in 2002, I have taught in a wide variety of classroom settings, including having my own classroom for both Elementary and Middle School. I have taught as a substitute and permanent teacher in Special Education classrooms. I have taught Math, Science and Language Arts. I like teaching. I like teaching individuals. I enjoy the challenge of adapting my style and my information to the unique set of skills and experiences that each individual brings along with them. No two people are alike. So I try not to teach each student as if she is just like the last guy. What is called the "Affective Filter" is what I deal with most: that is the part of each student that

As an UC Berkeley graduate, I was very much driven to achieve a high level of excellence in education. I have earned my B.A. in Biology and a minor in Chemistry, which has enabled me to gain an understanding in many areas of math and science. During the years I was pursuing my degree, I also worked as a private tutor for all level of children, mostly from grade 9 to 12, with their math, physics, chemistry and biology, and help them achieve their educational goals. I believe all children can learn, but each in different ways; all children could achieve their goals, with the appropriate surroundings and help. Therefore, for each student I work with, the first thing I always do is to find out the goal and need, then make a specialized study plan. As the tutoring goes along, I would also work with the teacher and keep tract of the student's progress, to make necessary adjustment of the plan

My number one goal in teaching has always been to improve the students approach and mentality. All most every student I have tutored had the hidden, raw talent to succeed in school, but either lacked the desire or the vision to do so. I want students to see problems and concepts like how I do. I want them to be able to see all the options when tackling a tough Math problem or see all the implications when considering cell organelles. I also teach them that they have to mentally prepare themselves to be in it for the long run. I teach them how to plan, so they don't burn out by the time finals come up. I graduated UCB with a 3.9 and everything I teach I practice myself. As a pre-med at UC Berkeley, I have a vast experience with in the basic sciences. I fell in love with Molecular Biology because of how integrated the field was. Everything was connected in some way or another. To complete

Wanting to teach is the major reason I got my PhD. I've always had a love of learning, and want to be able to share that with students. It is important to understand that all students are different and no one approach will work for all students. In my experience teaching both as a lecturer and on an individual basis, when dealing with a student one-on-one, the student and the tutor need to be equal partners in the session. The focus needs to be on what the student is having trouble with and the tutor acting as a guide. As someone who has benefited from excellent teachers in my education, I try to use what I have learned from them in my teaching. The most important part of teaching is to make the student want to learn and feel engaged. I started my teaching experience as a hired math tutor for the University of Maryland while I was getting my BS in Civil Engineering. While pursuing

As a graduate of UC Berkeley, I have a passion of helping others. During my freshman year in Calculus, I grasped the subject matter pretty well and volunteered to assist peers with homework problems. I enjoyed helping my peers and was excited to see their test scores improve because of it. Secondly, I tutored ages 5-10 at an after-school program for one year in reading and math. Here I mastered the values of patience and kindness. Lastly, in high school, I tutored my neighbor from grades 6-8 three times a week. I received my BS in Business Administration. I write business memos and speak with clients and am experienced in reading, writing, mathematics and elementary science. I am passionate, driven, funny, and determined.

As a graduate from a top-10 university and from graduate school, I know what it takes to get into a top program and succeed at a high level. In the past 5 year, I have been working as a consultant in the environmental industry, but want to take some time off now to explore other interest. I have previously tutored underprivileged teenage girls at the Florence Crittenton Center in Los Angeles for about one-year as a volunteer back in 2001. I found that experience enjoyable but never pursued it much further due to the demands of school at the time. Despite my lack of tutoring experience, I bring a wide scope of experience in the sciences and mathematics that would make me an outstanding tutor. During the ups and downs of my undergraduate career, I became self-aware of the challenges that a student faces, especially within subjects that are not his/her strong suits. I believe the b

I had full scholarship for both my BS in Computer Science and MS in Data Communications in two of the best colleges in the world. I thus have very deep understanding of Maths Physics and Chemistry. I have taught and tutored at middle & high school, ITT-Tech, The Art Institute of California -San Francisco and Menlo College. I have been an Instructor in the enterprise hi-tech industry on and off for the past 16 years. I am also a Certified Personal Trainer. I have taught yoga, dance, soccer and athletics. I love teaching whether they are kids, high school kids or adults. I believe I was blessed to have had my college education for free and my way of giving back is teaching. I believe anyone can learn anything if one has the right teacher and environment. So my style is custom made to the person I am working with at a particular time.
