Computer Programming Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Chula Vista, CA

I graduated Summa Cum Laude from Point Loma Nazarene University. I then worked for a year in a non-profit organization as a software engineer, and I am currently tutoring and working free-lance web development jobs as I work on my masters degree. I've got tons of experience with Jr high and High school students in after-school type programs. I've tutored throughout my studies to both highschool and college students. I'd be glad to answer any questions you may have and use my knowledge and gifts to enable your student's success.

My most recent experience has been as an adjunct mathematics instructor at Southwestern College. I have also taught GED Mathematics classes for San Diego Community College District Continuing Education department. In addition, I have taught mathematics and science courses at the high school level and Computer Application Courses at both the college and continuing education levels. I try to build on the student's current knowledge base. In teaching a topic I check for understanding at each step in the instruction and provide remedial help as necessary before proceeding to the next step. I try to address individual differences in students' backgrounds and learning modalities. I am patient with students when they encounter difficulties and will repeat the instruction using a slightly different approach. I incorporate praise and recognition of progress in my instruction to provide encoura

As both a native of Chula Vista and a UCSD graduate, I have seen and experienced what it takes in order to grow up from a local teenager to a qualified adult ready to take on the world. I have attained a BA in Music, which actually required an additional understanding of math, physics, and computer science, as well. My tutoring experience includes work with students at both the high school and college levels. At the high school level, I have worked with students individually and in a group setting, whereas my work with college students has been primarily on an individual basis. The subjects I have tutored include Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, Pre-Calculus, Calculus, and Computer Science. Often times, a person who is failing a subject might feel like a lost cause, that no one can help them. However, my belief is that all students are worth helping, that each individual has a right to s

Technically, I have been involved in education in some capacity all of my life. Professionally, I have been a public school classroom instructor, a college adjunct professor, an instructional designer/developer for corporate paper-based and computer-based tutorials, and a contract tutor. Although my primary professional focus since beginning work on my Master’s degree has been custom software development, many of the activities in that profession have continued to be related to education. I have designed, organized, and/or conducted numerous training activities for my direct reports and for specific interest groups, and have developed and organized individual, team-wide, department-wide, and company-wide training activities. All of us are in a continuous learning mode, even if we are not in a formal learning environment. I like to emphasize that fact to students, and my approach to ins

As far as teaching languages goes, I believe in immediately beginning in the language and doing all instruction in that language. Translation should be minimized at the start, although it will have its place much later at an advanced stage. The challenge of making this approach comprehensible and fruitful to the student falls on the teacher; it's what makes the teaching languages interesting. I have followed this method for a number of years, and my successes confirm me in this belief. I have extensive teaching experience at all levels from my years spent in Germany. I taught at the level of technical colleges (Technische Hochschule Bremen) high school and grade school (Schulzentrum Obervieland). I have exzperience in teaching both a specialized form of language instruction (English for electrical engineers) and general languages. I have found teaching beginners to be extremely rewarding

I love teaching children. I have a very systematic approach to teaching ensuring that children understand the fundamentals and show their work validating their solutions. I believe that children learn best from a patient and caring instructor. As a college graduate, I was very much driven to achieve a high level of excellence in education. I have earned a bachelor degree, BS in Computer Science & Engineering, which has enabled me to gain an understanding in many areas of math and science. I have earned a master degree, MS in Computer Information Systems, which has enabled me to gain an understanding in many areas of presentation of material learned. In addition, I have learned extensive grammatical skills due to writing research papers and laboratory reports, along with essays in many various areas of study. During the last 12 years I have tutored my children in English, spanish, m

I really enjoy working with students and I feel that education is the most important aspect of an individuals life. I have taught at John W. North High School in Riverside, Ca. One of my assignments was to fill in for an AP Statistics teacher while she was on maternity leave. Since that day I have feel in love with biostatistics and took all of my graduate level electives in Biostatistics courses. I enjoy both the one on one mentoring and also engaging students in small groups and as an entire classroom. The one on one mentoring gives me a feel for the best way for that particular student to learn, therefore I can adjust my teaching style to their strengths.

My 5 years as a United States Marine established important core values such as tact, integrity, discipline, and commitment. I bring these values with me into the classroom. I believe that the success of a student depends more on their level of commitment than on inherent talent. However, learning must be an enjoyable experience in order for a strong commitment to be made. I am passionate about mathematics and the sciences, and this passion shows in my teaching style. Students recognize this passion, and it makes the learning experience fun. I am patient, open-minded, and innovative; so if a student is struggling with a particular topic, I find an alternative teaching approach which better suits their learning style. The success of my students is gratifying, to both student and teacher alike. I have been a straight-A student my entire life and I recently graduated from the University of N

My teaching style is one of patience and encouragement. There is nothing better than when that light goes off in a child once he or she finally understands how to do a problem. Children learn in different ways and finding the best way for each child is the job of a great teacher. And, I know that everyone does better with the one-to-one contact that a tutor can provide. At 14, when I taught my first group of beginning swimmers, everyone knew that teaching was in my blood. Since then I have taught and coached many sports. While working on my MS in Computer Science, I began teaching Math and Computer Science classes, first to college students and eventually to all ages. Currently as a Visiting Teacher for San Diego City Schools, I have had several long-term assignments teaching Math to all levels of students up to and including Pre-Calculus. I have also run several successful worksh

I have always tried to adjust my teaching style to the students with whom I am working while at the same time adhering to the curricula and guidelines of the institution for which I worked. I have successfully worked with students at the remedial level as well as those taking Advanced Placement courses. I am patient, clear and relatively concise. I have never tired of the feeling I get when I see that "light" come on in a student's face. In fact, that is the principle reason that I teach. Although my vocation for the past 38 years has been Software Engineering, my avocation has always been teaching. I financed my undergraduate education by tutoring one-on-one at the high school level for 3 years. During my career as a Software Engineer I sought out opportunities to teach part-time, evenings and weekends. I have the equivalent of about 7 years of full-time experience teaching High School,

My goal in teaching is to ensure that my students have a strong understanding of the subject and do not just follow a formula or recite rote knowledge. In addition to explaining concepts, I like to use models and present example problems with which the student can demonstrate his grasp of the topic. If one explanation does not make sense to a student, I try different ones until it finally "clicks". I am a patient instructor and bring an enthusiastic attitude to teaching, since I've found through experience that the best teachers are those who communicate excitement and interest. I am a graduate student in materials science at UC San Diego, and a recent graduate of the California Institute of Technology with a BS in Mechanical Engineering. I have a broad and thorough understanding of math and physics, and to a lesser degree in chemistry and biology, as well as in more specialized subje

At UCR, I was a "drop-in" tutor. This means that for hours of the day in a room with 6 chalkboards, I would teach math to any UCR student who wanted to learn and answer their questions. There was hardly any down time at all; I was constantly working. I had a team of tutors that I first worked with, then managed as a mentor in my last year. As a Mentor, I kept the team's understanding of the curriculum solid as a group effort. The mentors and the tutoring program coordinator held weekly meetings with regards to our various tutoring teams. I have good experience managing a team, and being part of a team of teams in a board room. Even as a Mentor, most of my time was spent in the Drop-In room tutoring people. Persistent and patience with the student, foundation first for the material. . Especially with math, higher concepts won't be "grasped" unless the lower ones are mastered. Also, I find
