Over the past decade I have also prepared science curriculum materials (middle and high school) for Glencoe McGraw-Hill, Gale Thomson, Pearson and John Wiley. I am the author of The Globalization of Trade, an introduction to the economics of globalization for young readers (published in 2004). Most of my curriculum writing has been science-related, but I have also prepared articles in other areas for Gale Thomson's reference books. My academic training was in the physical sciences (physics, chemistry). I earned a PhD in materials science from the University of Virginia and subsequently completed a two-year postdoc at Stanford University in theoretical chemistry. My undergraduate training was in physics (UC Berkeley). In 1983 I completed an ESL teacher training course at Stanford University, and subsequently was hired to teach English in Japan.

As a graduate from a top-10 university and from graduate school, I know what it takes to get into a top program and succeed at a high level. In the past 5 year, I have been working as a consultant in the environmental industry, but want to take some time off now to explore other interest. I have previously tutored underprivileged teenage girls at the Florence Crittenton Center in Los Angeles for about one-year as a volunteer back in 2001. I found that experience enjoyable but never pursued it much further due to the demands of school at the time. Despite my lack of tutoring experience, I bring a wide scope of experience in the sciences and mathematics that would make me an outstanding tutor. During the ups and downs of my undergraduate career, I became self-aware of the challenges that a student faces, especially within subjects that are not his/her strong suits. I believe the b

Since I am an engineer, I teach Math orienting towards its application. In such way, I motivate people by stating application behind any math . I believe examples and theories are necessary for students to understand the material; moreover, challening tests are also necessary for them more exciting about Math and to know the world is not that easy. In short, I will motivate the material by saying the applications, explain the materials, work on the examples, and, then, test the student to know how my teaching is effected to my students I am a graduate student at UC Berkeley working towards my Masters Degree in Mechanical Engineering. Since I am interest in teaching , I established my career as follow: 03/2007- 05/2007 Tutor, San Jose Public Library, Seven trees Branch, San Jose, CA 1/2009-1/2010 Private Tutor - Tutoring Math to a high school student.

Easy going, supportive, hard working, direct, open, and encouraging. My style is to find real world experiences to provide examples for learning. This approach stimulates students to actually enjoy chemistry instead of thinking of it as something difficult or uninteresting. I've also found that the carrot approach works much better than the stick. Everyone can make the grade or higher by being encouraged and helped. Teaching 5-10 years of college level organic chemistry, physical chemistry, inorganic chemistry, biology, biochemistry, and intro chemistry. Also, I've served as a full time lab assistant. I've had extensive experience in both designing exams, lecturing, tutoring, and providing special assistance to students.

As a graduate from Santa Clara University, I earned a BS degree in Chemistry, emphasis in biochemistry, which has enabled me to gain an understanding in many areas of math and science. Along with three years of experience working as a Chemist in the industry, I was able to explore different areas of chemistry and became an expertise in organic chemistry and chemical engineering. I also have learned extensive writing skills to produce research papers and laboratory reports. In addition to my science background, I am also a very passionate volunteer teacher at a Sunday school for the past seven years, teaching catechism to the children at my church.
