I love Science!

I use a mixture of Socratic methodology, direct instruction, worked examples and analogies to render difficult conepts understandable to students.

A Little Bit About Me...

I love the fact that, as an individual I can or could possible change the way kids learn. I usually want the child to feel comfortable, but yet show them who is in charge. Every child learns in different ways, therefore I am always willing to teach in anyway possible to get the child rolling in their studies. If a game or just using objects to help kids learn then we will do so. Every child is unique in their own way and everyone learns differently, no one child is ever the same. We all strive to be the best, but it takes time to be the best, therefore I like to take the time to get to know the individual at a personal and professional level. Their concerns are my concerns, but there is a student-teacher boundry that has to be set. Some rules will be established and learning will be done in a timely manner.

As of now, I am involved with Breakthrough Sacramento, which is non- profit organization that help underachieved Middle school kids to advance into great High schools in Sacramento region. I can work with groups as well as individuals and I am solid believer that every child is a winner, he/she just have to find his/her potential to be called a winner. I believe in slow, but explanatory method of teaching.Using fast pace learning or harsh words for kids is not in my philosophy. I am a very calm but energetic, patience but a true dedicator towards my job, which is making sure that each child achieve success in their respective fields.

More About This Tutor...

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

I love learning, and try to impart its joy to all I encounter. Much of that joy is realized by my students in developing and mastering needed and wanted skills. It is a further delight to me that so many of my students do “turn on” admirably as they realize progress in academic spheres they previously found discouragingly challenging. The variety of approaches I have mastered in presenting materials and individualizing practice makes my service as a learning guide perfect for the previously-frustrated student. I love learning, and I never give up on anyone!

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe that learning should be fun and meaningful and I want the students I work with to be inspired and engaged in their own learning process. When possible I prefer to use hands-on learning techniques. I encourage students to ask questions and make connections to the world around them. It is through constructing this knowledge that students will be able to think logically and transfer their knowledge to new situations. Through developing a meaningful relationship with each student I work with, I better understand her needs, interests and motivations and can support her learning. Through mutual respect, I can help a student to achieve at higher levels and reach her potential.

I absolutely love teaching and thrive on the interaction with my students. I approach teaching on a personal level by relating individually to my students. I make the effort to learn what each student needs as far as learning style and interaction and try to approach each student in that manner. I believe all students are capable of great success with the proper encouragement. The challenge for an educator is to determine the proper encouragement for each individual student.
In my past work experience in law enforcement and the military I came to understand the necessity of possessing good writing skills.

A Little Bit About Me...

I graduated from Duke University in 2009 with a triple-major in Biomedical Engineering, Economics, and Mathematics. I have tutored in Economics and spent four years mentoring middle-schools students in Engineering as a Techtronics Fellow.
I have never been someone who "just gets it" when it comes to math or science, and so I understand more than many people who pursued degrees in these subjects just how puzzling they can be. Math seems like it is filled with "tricks" that seem impossible to know unless you were born with some innate gift. When I teach, I seek to show, step-by-step. how to think about a problem as more than a set of symbols on paper. I seek to impart the critical thinking skills that reveal why those tricks aren't tricks at all, but are instead a natural part of the grammar of math and science.

Every student can learn. My job as an educator is to adapt my teaching style to the student’s learning style, using questions as a primary tool.
