A Little Bit About Me...

I love helping a student come to a mathematical conclusion on his/her own. My 7th graders discovered the distributive prop through an investigation about theater seats. I also remember showing my Alg2 students why borrowing works using $1, $10, and $100 bills and trading with the bank. They were so excited to finally understand subtraction. What a thrill for me! However, when a frustrated Junior was having trouble calculating determinants correctly, it simply didn’t make sense to start at the beginning and help her discover how determinants work. When tutoring, I try to invest time in helping students fully understand concepts when it makes sense to. But I do keep in mind that traditional methods are sometimes the better choice.
Throughout high school and college, I belonged to several tutoring organizations. I took multiple extra classes on education and tutoring techn ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have always had a natural curiosity for learning Mathematics and a desire to teach others. I remember being a student in Elementary School struggling to understand a particular concept and then imagining myself explaining this concept to others once I achieved understanding. Mathematics has always been challenging for me but noticed that as long as I was persistent I always acquired knowledge of the material. I was exposed to many different math instructors and many of them motivated me to learn mathematics and inspired me to want to teach. I am very patient when I explain concepts to others and enjoy coming up with different ways of explaining these concepts.
I tutored at the Hartnell College Math Lab in topics ranging from Pre-Algebra to Calculus. I also tutored/mentored recent high school graduates and motivated them to pursue careers in math and science. I tutored Algebra at ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy working with students of all ages. As a teacher, there is nothing greater than to see my students succeed. I am more results-oriented and I encourage students to work persistently until they have accomplished their goals. I am friendly, patient, and easy going. Although I push my students to work hard, I also like to have fun and make the learning experience enjoyable as well.
I have a very diverse background and I have many years of experience teaching in different subjects. I was an English teacher for one year in Korea, teaching children at a public school. I have taught fine art at a private school in Salinas. I have also been teaching martial arts and self-defense for over 10 years. I have worked with children as young as 4, to adults in their senior years. I hold a bachelor's degree in Business Marketing from San Jose State and I graduated with honors.

I feel that my largest teaching strength is the ability to identify where students are having problems and address those issues first. If students don't understand the fundamentals, it is impossible to teach them advanced concepts. In addition to this, being able to identify the students learning style and teach to them personally is something I am skilled at. I tend to connect with my students and am proud to be involved with their success.
In High School I discovered that not only was I skilled in math and science, but that I was effective in tutoring other students in these subjects. I started professionally tutoring students younger than me when I was a junior and continued until I graduated college. I successfully tutored students in Algebra, Geometry/Trig, Algebra 2, Pre-Calc, Chemistry, Physics, Biology, and SAT Prep. I have taught swimming and been a lifeguard through ... read more

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.

Since 2004 I have been working in the Math Learning Center at Cabrillo College. I tutor a wide variety of math levels, ranging from pre-algebra through differential equations. In the years I have worked there I have become well known as a tutor who can help a student with any question they have.
My goal as a tutor is to build the confidence of my students. I teach by extracting the information that they already know and offering supplemental information when necessary. I try to make math safe, fun, and interesting for each student I work with.

Tutoring is an extremely rewarding experience because I get to know each of my students as individuals. Every student works/learns in their own manner and as a tutor, I strive to make them understand their own potential. My goal as a tutor is to give them a different/more indepth view of the subject considering the textbook does not always make sense to the individual student. Ultimatly, I wish to give my student the tools to become excellent learners.
