A Little Bit About Me...

I believe each child is unique and has potential to learn and understand. Each child has its own way of learning.My goal is to teach the students the way they can understand the concept of math and science and why they need to understand the concept this in practical life.Where we have to apply all this concepts in real life.My theory with the students is to start with simple problems and when they attain mastery in it then challenge them with difficult problem. To ask them questions what they think and how they can slove it.
I am Master's in organic chemistry from India and after my education I worked around 4 years in Industry as quality control chemist, which enabled me to understand apllication part of subject.I moved to USA in 2002.

USC Graduate Offering SAT/ACT/College App/K-12 Tutoring

Hello! My name is Mihir Kumar, and I recently graduated from USC under the full-tuition Trustee Scholarship with dual degrees in Human Biology and Economics, and a minor in Mathematical Finance. I’ve been tutoring since 2016 and am currently saving up for medical school, so I'm really looking forward to working with new students! Over the past few years, I have tutored over 75 K-12 students in standardized testing (primarily ACT/SAT/PSAT), math (from elementary operations through Calculus), the basic sciences, English, reading, writing, and more totaling over 2500 total hours (both online and in-person). Many of my students have improved their SAT and ACT scores by 250-350+ points and 5-8+ points, respectively, too. Having experience with the internal workings of the USC admissions process, I also provide college admissions assistance and have assisted many students in earning adm ... read more

I'll Teach your Student to Teach Him or Herself

I hate lecturing! I do! This is why my tutoring style is very interactive. I don't like talking AT a person, I prefer to have a conversation. My goal as a tutor is to make subjects interesting, and also to make sure they stick- so you can do well on exams. I also teach study skills in every session, so ideally you won't have to rely on me forever. I try to give students tools that they can use to teach them how to teach themselves- something they'll have to do if they're considering college.
I have worked as a tutor for 10 years in all subjects, especially focusing on ESL learners. Recently, I have worked in an ESL school (FLS International) with university age students seeking to matriculate into American Universities. Before that, I worked in South Korea teaching English. While employed at these schools, I also work part-time as a tutor- mostly for middle and high school ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I received a Bachelors of Science in Materials Engineering from San Jose State University and have had over 5 years of engineering experience. I have an educational background in physics, math, chemistry, engineering and biology. During my educational and professional experience I’ve had involvement in various facets of semiconductor, polymer and metallurgical processing as well as electronic/mechanical product design and fabrication.
I enjoy teaching grades 7 thru college level. I am patient, communicate well and eager to make learning fun. I feel that most people love to learn they just have to find a reason to find it interesting and applicable to the world around them. I try to introduce concepts as they apply to real world circumstances.

I have always been very fond of learning; I received a BS from California State University Monterey Bay and a MA from Monterey Institute of International Studies. Both degrees focused on environmental policy and Spanish. I tutored writing with an emphasis on science and policy for 2 years with the CSUMB peer tutoring program and volunteered with Monterey County Reads as a reading assistant for children K-3 during my undergrad and graduate education. I volunteered abroad as an English teacher in rural Ecuador in the summer of 2009, graduated from MIIS in 2010, and moved back to Ecuador to teach English. I have tutored English reading, writing, and ESL for 3 years, but I also have a strong background in the sciences and Spanish language.

More About This Tutor...

I love working with children and teens. I am very sociable and students generally find me easy going and understanding. Every child has the capacity to improve and learn over time; therefore I am very patient and teach through direct practice and repetition. Given helpful techniques and proper guidance, I’ve seen children improve drastically in their schoolwork. I aim to make a difference in every student’s grade.
Being a biology graduate from the UC system and a children’s counselor for the last seven years has equipped me with extensive knowledge and teaching skills. I hold a B.S. in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, which encompasses many other scientific disciplines and mathematical skills. I’ve also learned many grammar and writing techniques from frequent research reports and laboratory essays. After working with children and teens for many years, I have gained invaluable exp ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a dynamic and motivated Sr. Financial Analyst with over 12+ years of financial experience. Aside from Finance, I am also exposed to accounting closes on a monthly basis. I have earned a bachelors degree in Economics. During the last 2 years, I have volunteered to be a teacher at Our Lady of Peace Catholic church. I teach both a Vietnamese language class (46 students) and a Bible class (38 students).
Helping children brings out the best in me and I enjoy it very much. This year, in my Bible class, I taught using group work and examples. These students were 12 - 16 years old. I found that they needed motivation and an enthusiastic teacher to keep them attentive. I often told jokes and give real examples in life that helped them better understand my lessons. For my Vietnamese language class, these students were 8 - 15 years old. They required more patience than my other ... read more

I work as a partner with the student and their parents, tailoring each tutoring program to the student's needs. I especially enjoy helping high school students excel in Math. One of my recent tutoring students went from receiving an F on Algebra2 exams to receiving a B, after only 2 weeks of tutoring! I'd love to help your student improve their results in Math class, and prepare themselves for a successful college career. I'm also available to tutor in SAT preparation, computer subjects and French.
I have an M.S. in Computer Engineering, an extensive background in Mathematics, and worked for many years as an engineer in Silicon Valley companies. I thoroughly enjoyed school and excelled at test-taking, which I know is an area of anxiety and difficulty for many students.
