A Little Bit About Me...

I graduated Magna Cum Laude from USC with a degree in Business and have spent six years as an actuary working in a professional and math-oriented field for major firms (Blue Shield and Mercer). I have a strong background in math dating back to high school where I scored an 800 on the SAT math section as a junior. I also bring experience working with youth. I tutored math to junior high, high school and college students off and on during past decade. I worked three summers as summer camp counselor, spent one summer as a behavioral coach for autistic children and taught math one summer at private academy.
People are always surprised when they find out I'm a math nerd. I'm outgoing, I like to joke and I play sports. But believe it or not, I actually do enjoy math and this is one of the biggest reasons for my success as a tutor/teacher. I don't fake my enthusiasm and this helps e ... read more

My style is to teach a concept during the one on one session with me. I then give them homework to reinforce the learning on personal time. In the following meeting I revise what we learnt in previous session to ensure they understood before proceeding to next topic. I work with students with different learning styles (pictures, words and numbers) and will adapt to their needs. I am patient and will explain numerous times, in different ways, to ensure learning.
During my undergraduate years, I was tutoring a local grade 4 student in math. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience in making a difference in somebody's life. During the last 15 years in my career, I have always been involved in training/teaching/mentoring individuals whether it is a new computer system or helping my direct staff to grow to their full potential.

I enjoy working with students and helping them understand math and science. I believe it is important to understand the concepts behind the problems. I take the time to explain the concepts that challenge the students through examples. I give the students steps to follow to solve the problem and for word problems I teach them how to pick out key information needed in order to solve them. I also encourage the students to attempt the problems. Often times I have found the student does know how to complete the problem, but just needs the extra encouragement. In this way, I am also able to find out the student’s areas of struggle and weakness and then address these issues specifically. I desire all my students to understand and feel successful.
Math and biological sciences have always been subjects, which have interested me. I have graduated from UCLA with a BS in Applied Mathematics a ... read more

I love teaching. I am very patient. I believe if a student is not doing well in studies the teacher is responsible for that. I won’t give up until the student understands the topic. My job is to pull the latent potential from every child and to make them realize that what they are capable of. I make students learn from their mistakes. I give the students fun loaded learning experience. Because learning from mistakes and learning by enjoying the subject are the only two ways, a person never forgets what they have learnt.

After earning my Bachelor’s of Arts degree in Mathematics in 1990 from the California State University at Stanislaus, I entered the credential program. In the credential program at C.S.U. Stanislaus, I became well prepared for all the nuances besides teaching that goes with being a teacher. I was introduced to the concept of classroom management, assertive discipline, and establishing a warm and friendly learning environment in the classroom. I learned and developed a repertoire of hands-on manipulatives, games, and puzzles to make the learning of math more exciting, fun, and easy. Today, I still use most of these techniques although some have been altered to be more effective.
In Ripon Unified I taught for 2 years. In Hawthorne Union I taught for 1 year. In Hayward Unified I taught for 6 years. For 2 years I taught in Stockton Unified. At the SIATech Charter School at the S ... read more
