A Little Bit About Me...

Learning requires practice, so I emphasize practice to mastery, following Kumon. In tutoring, it is usually the case that the students can learn most of the subject without a tutor, but that each student who has difficulty has a difficulty not shared by most other students, hence not covered in class or homework. For tutoring, I learn what the students can already do well, what they can do with difficulty, and what they can't do yet, and I learn what is limiting their next progress. That is where I focus our efforts. Most of what you can learn in mathematics you can teach yourself by following the teacher's guidance and reading the textbook. My main goal is to teach you how to teach yourself, and to instill in you a confidence to rely on your teaching yourself more and more. My goal is for you to learn to learn without needing my help.

I believe that education is essential. Still, I recognize that my education has never been the consequence of my own determination alone. My family, professors, and friends have played an essential role in my education, having an incredible impact on what I learn and how I learn it. My teachers have always been incredibly effective because they are enthusiastic and willing to take the extra steps to ensure that I too love the material or at least have respect for it, creating within me a desire to learn and know more. My teaching style is a reflection of this. I am very passionate about the subjects I teach. Though many times I find the students are not as passionate as myself, after concerted efforts, the students at least become enthralled by the level of enthusiasm I show, and begin to ask questions and participate in their own learning.

I believe each student is different and as such, each should be handled differently. My more than six years of tutoring experience provided me extensive background on students characters and approaches in better presenting the subject matter. At the end of the day, it is important that the student has learned and is ready in tackling subject topics.
Since I graduated with a BS in Environmental Science, I had been a high-school tutor for more than 6 years helping students in the subjects of Math and Science, specifically, Algebra, Geometry, Physics, and Biology. I handled, on the average, 8 students daily - some in groups while others individually. I have learned to understand each student's needs and characters and the approaches in dealing with them. I now have a Masters Degree in Accountancy and believe in the importance of education in one's life. I would like to continue helpi ... read more

I primarily focus on concepts and fundamentals. Most often I try to follow the instructors teaching style so the student can go to the class and does not feel lost. Although sometimes, I try different techniques based on how well the student is doing. I am very patient and I try my best to keep the session interesting and also at times challenging.
I am currently a Post Graduate student at UCSD. I have been tutoring for the past 3-4 years. I have primarily tutored High School and Undergraduate students. My area of expertise is Math. I can tutor any math up until Advanced Calculus.
