My comments on tutoring TOEFL : Having studied and taken the test myself I am very familiar with the format of this test. I am experienced in making students familiar with the testing format.

My teaching style is eclectic. My background as a yoga instructor and massage therapist inform my teaching style in that I teach the student as a whole rather than teaching a subject to a student. I like to use current outside sources whether they be from science or art so that learning stays relevant to today.

UCLA: Math/Science/Computers/Executive Functions

I'm a graduate of UCLA Engineering with a passion for explaining how the physical world works through math and physics along with 14 years of tutoring experience in those subjects, test prep, and mentorship programs. The teaching strategy I believe in emphasizes subject fundamentals, a powerful and necessary tool for higher problem solving. This strategy has proven very effective regardless of the student's educational background or mental ability. Besides being knowledgeable, I am motivating, caring, and patient in guiding your student to academic success! EXECUTIVE FUNCTIONING: Executive Functioning is a separate realm that tutoring can assist in. It deals with cognitive processes including organization, time management, and study skills. Much of the difficulty students face in academic subjects can be attributed to the lack of executive functioning. They either cannot keep up w ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My philosophy is one of inclusiveness in the classroom. My approach is one of teamwork, to give the students the feeling that their classmates and teacher are all working together towards a goal, their success. I believe that students need to be well-supported in their learning process but not spoon fed. Improvement is everyone's responsibility. As the leader of the class, it is my responsibility to analyse how best to teach each students, by knowing their learning styles and instructing them accordingly. The challenge to me is not presenting appropriate materials in a useful and easy to understand way, but to guarentee the acquisition of the lesson.

A Little Bit About Me...

Hello! I have just moved back to LA after six years in China. I worked as a teacher in China, and have years of experience with tutoring. I worked with many students hoping to learn English, from 2 year olds-50 year olds. I was also a corporate trainer at Ford and Ericson. I am now a fluent Chinese speaker, learning it for several years both while in the states and in China. I understand the difficulties associated with learning Chinese, and I hope to be able to pass on many helpful hints to my students. I believe that students learn best when they are interested, and engaged in the subject. I am a creative lesson plans, and I love to tie the student's own interests into the lesson material. I would love to hear from you, if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

UCLA English grad; experience teaching both English and Math

I majored in English Literature and Writing at UCLA, with a focus on British Pre-Reformation Classics, as well as Shakespeare's 1st and 2nd portfolios. I also won 1st Place in the university's Westwind Writing Competition, taking home top prize for Non-Fiction entry. I have experience working on the school newspaper, The Daily Bruin, and extensive journalism experience. Finally, I co-founded The Writers' Den, a school-based organization dedicated to teaching English and Writing to inner-city students (Compton, Inglewood especially).
Mine is a creative and lively, interactive teaching style, focusing on playing off of children's interests and strengths. I make it a point to get to know the students I work with -- background, education, hobbies and lifestyle.

I go by Matt. I have been tutoring for the past 10 years and have had the opportunity to work with a diverse group of students having different skills and skill sets. After years of tutoring it has become clear that the best way to help improve a student's understanding in a subject area is by being able to give them the individualized attention and guidance that they may need. Because I am able to communicate with a diverse array of people and because of my proficiency in teaching the subject matter I intend to teach, I am able to reach out to my students and help them think critically while getting them to become more self-reliant in problem solving. This is partly due to my versatile teaching style as well as my ability to help my students think outside the box, especially as this applies to understanding complex mathematical concepts as well as being able to solve multi-ste ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

It is my belief that language proficiency stems from extensive practice. Although I see my Japanese language skills as a useful tool in helping other Japanese speakers learn English, I feel that conversing in English and explaining concepts in English as much as possible leads to greater language advancement. Most Japanese adults already studied English in junior high and high school, so it is necessary to access their prior knowledge. As Japan is a somewhat reserved culture, it is necessary to provide a comfortable, relaxing environment to help students not feel self-conscience when trying to converse in English. Creating a safe learning environment is my foremost objective when tutoring.
As a second language learner, I am keenly aware of the challenges in learning a new language. I am a native Japanese speaker, although I have attended a language school in Australia, and com ... read more
