I love Science!

I use a mixture of Socratic methodology, direct instruction, worked examples and analogies to render difficult conepts understandable to students.
I have a solid educational background in chemistry and my general interest in all aspects of the sciences make me a very well rounded and informed candidate. In attaining my science mastery, I have become very facile at mathematics as well. I have taught Chemistry (General, AP, and Honors), along Space, Geology, Earth and Life Science classes for 12 years both privately and in public high schools here in California and abroad.

Incorporate many teaching styles not all students learn the same.
Have been in the education feild for nine yrs. Spent most of those years in special education.

I believe that students can reach their potential if they are given the tools that they need. My job is to be the toolbox for them. As a special education teacher, I adapt my teaching style to meet the needs of the students. I believe that a child should be given a vast amount of positive reinforcement and always be spoken to and taught with respect. I also believe children need boundaries set that will consistently be reinforced. Our job is to teach them those boundaries but to do so with compassion. It truly makes my day, when I see a student that finally "gets" what we are discussing or learning. Teaching is a great joy for me.

More About This Tutor...

I have always been passionate about language and thinking critically and I take great joy in discussing and sharing with others. From a tutoring perspective this means I am always energetic and optimistic because I enjoy the work. I am competent in my subject areas and organized because I like to make sure that time spent is time spent productively. But foremost of all my traits as a tutor is that I am entirely adaptive to a student's needs. Some students need a more professional teacher figure to work with, others need a peer or a mentor, finding that need and filling it is something I excel at.
During my time at Cal State Stanislaus, where I earned my bachelor's degree in English, I was selected to tutor other students because of my mastery of grammar and writing. I spent two years working for the University's Writing Center. I tutored ESL students and Freshmen on how best to imp ... read more

I have taught music in public education for the last 15 years. I have been involved in church music ministry for over 25 years, and currently am the church pianist in Stockton, Ca. I love working with children of all ages. Math is my second love and I almost majored in math instead of music. Math was always easy for me in school. Although I don't enjoy writing, I am very strong in written English and enjoy proofreading papers.
I strive to include various learning styles when working with children. Some students learn best by listening or writing, while others need movement or tactile experiences to help in comprehension. I believe in keeping students engaged at all times, to minimize wasted time. Every child has potential. A teacher just has to know how to reach each child, and that happens when the students builds trust with the teacher.

A Little Bit About Me...

I taught for twenty five years at the middle school level mostly in a self contained sixth grade classroom. In addition to teaching reading, English, math, science,and social studies, I taught electives is video filming and remedial reading. In my experience as a teacher, I discovered that all students can learn if they are properly motivated. I found that I could best motivate a student if I found what they were interested in, and what grade level they were working at. I also worked for five years as a substitute teacher.
I believe in individualized teaching. In my sixth grade classroom, I individualized instruction wherever possible. In reading I tested my students and placed them in books at their reading level. I had them write reading summaries and corrected their first drafts. In sixth weeks, I retested and in most instances moved students to a higher level. In my ma ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have experience working with children and tutoring high school students on multiple subjects (math and science). I have also tutored in subjects such as economics and how to study effectively. I have taught subjects in small group settings as well. I hold a BS degree in chemical engineering from UC Davis.
My teaching style focuses on the student and his/her struggles. I really try to make the student understand the topic at hand and how to study it effectively. Studying techniques are very important and I introduce those techniques to the student. I really guide the student step-by-step through his/her struggles and to build their confidence. I change their mentality to a positive one. I enjoy working with others and I use all the resources that I can to make the student understand the topic. I usually give extra practice problems and I really challenge the students thin ... read more

I believe that positive reinforcement, patience, and a genuine desire to see one’s students excel is the best way to success. I feel that the only way to get through to a child is to be his or her friend first and foremost, and to treat him or her as an equal. I love being both a tutor and a friend. My approach to teaching is more hands-on, rather than lecture based, because I feel that if the child is actively participating the lesson will be more likely to stick. I enjoy helping children learn and can not even begin to describe how fulfilling it is to see a child finally grasp a difficult concept.

I believe children need to feel success in the classroom. Making a mistake is not necessarily bad. Sometimes making a ton of mistakes is the route to understanding. Repetition is necessary to building strong skills. I try to create a positive environment for learning, stress free. I'm an upbeat individual who's highly motivated to working with students of all ages.
Prior to receiving my BA in Music, I worked for over twenty years in the medical and pharmaceutical field as a medical transcriptionist, medical biller/coder and pharmaceutical technician.

I believe anyone can teach a subject, having enough knowledge of a subject allows one to pass it on. However, I feel what many teachers do not do is teach students how to learn. It is in my belief that teaching students to learn enables them to think independently allowing them to become more creative rather than repetitive. So not only do I teach students the subject, I teach them how to learn and apply it to every other subject.
As a accomplished student, I realized I always had help along the help with achieving academic success. From teachers and counselors to my peers and older students. I began to help other with academics as early as the third grade, however I began to commit to tutoring in High School and continue it through-out college, in hopes to eventually becoming a teacher in the future.

Seeing the light bulb go off in my students’ head is a constant reminder of my passion for teaching. I believe that all students are capable of learning and succeeding however some students just need to be taught in an alternate manner. My style of teaching involves a great deal of patience as well as constant reinforcement to ensure proper understanding and recall. I allow my easy going and fun nature to shine through in my teaching style but make sure to keep the proper balance in allowing learning to be an enjoyable but serious endeavor. I believe that education is the key to a successful and fulfilling life and my goal is to instill that believe and capability in all the lives I have the opportunity to touch.

A Little Bit About Me...

In 1995, I began my official tutoring odyssey by assisting my classmates in AP Calculus. Every day during lunch I spent my half-hour helping my fellow high school seniors succeed, ultimately achieving a 4/5 on the AP exam and guiding others to similar grades. Since those days I have tutored in-home and taught mathematics at the private secondary school level, fostering student knowledge of various concepts from arithmetic to calculus. My degree, my passion, is mathematics.
My students often say I can’t be a teacher because they “just get it" when I explain. Even so, my degree is in math and I've taught professionally and privately. I have a history of maintaining high scores and would rather show why something works than how to follow steps. I don't expect students to love math or do it "my way" but I want students to know math isn't scary. To this end, I explain every step, do ass ... read more
