Results-driven tutor seeking to share my love of knowledge!

I graduated high school with a full International Baccalaureate Program Diploma, and a 4.53 weighted GPA. I then went on to receive a full ride scholarship to Santa Clara University for Computer Engineering, where I took part in the University's Honors Program. There I completed 3 years of study in computer science, classical languages, and Spanish, before deciding to change directions and gain real-world experience. After a brief leave of absence, I entered Licensing Education Courses for the field of Insurance, passed the License Exam, and went to work as the Vice President of Marketing for Financial and Insurance Services, an independent insurance brokerage in Fresno, CA. Feeling the urge to once again to change directions, I am taking took time to pursue my passion for poetry, competing in several contests and publishing an anthology of poetry on Amazon (“Automatic Phantom”).

A Little Bit About Me...

I had no intention of teaching when I started my career in Psychology and the Analytical Chemistry industry. I continuously tried to improve my methadology to arrive at the right mix of stimulation and information to make the learning process as interesting as possible. Teaching the Physics of Xrays and chemical analysis does challenge one to keep assessing the learned content and modify as results indicate. The results of effective teaching and learning start with asking questions about the purpose of the instructions, how will the results of the learning be measured, and what is educational level of the students? I try to teach them how to learn, rather than the concepts of facts and numbers, what do the numbers mean?

A Little Bit About Me...

Because each student, young or old, responds to different learning stimuli (graphical or verbal) at diffrent rates, I always try to get to know my student first. I then try to tailor my tutoring to how they respond best and retain what they've learned. I believe in repetition and using examples that a student can relate to, and then testing the student's understanding of the subject matter.
As the oldest of five children, my 15+ years of tutoring experience includes helping my siblings in their homework when we were growing up. I have also taught English for two years at a private Junior/Senior girls' high school in Kyoto, Japan; mentored the English Speaking Society for the high school students; and, more recently, trained three content editors at Intel, as well as developed training classes for HP. Although I did well in math and science during my school years (my mother wa ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

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 engage students. I like to think of myself as fun and I like to make a joke here and there. I believe that a lot of times, less is more when it comes to teaching math. I try to do as little leading as possible when helping students solve problems so that they will be best equipped in the future to solve on their own. I have always enjoyed teaching and I love sharing success with others.

A Little Bit About Me...

At a very young age I decided to be a veterinarian. While I have not yet completed this goal I have stayed true and remained in the biological science field. I received my BS in Animal & Veterinary Sciences this past May and have taken many classes in the Biological Sciences ranging from Basic Biology to Plant Science, Soils, and very in depth classes on Animal Biology including the subjects of reproduction, digestion and nutrition. I have taken courses in both Human and Animal anatomy and physiology as well. I do not have an extensive background in tutoring, but I have tutored students in Math, basic anatomy, and several students in my Animal Science classes. I have also taught softball pitching lessons for approximately ten years.

I enjoy working with children. My theory of teaching is using the multiple intelligence theory. I believe that all children have the capacity to learn but in their own way. I like to incoporate different styles of learning in a lesson. I also like to incorporate hands on activities, because I believe that doing is learning.
I have been working with children from K-12 grade since 2001. I was part of the Math Academy in 2002. I have been subsituting in grades K-8 since 2009. I am fluent in the Spanish and I have experience working with migrant as well as with English Learner students. I worked with EL students for 3 years. I have also had the chance to work with special needs children.

I am a recent graduate from CSU Stanislaus. I have obtained my BS in Biological Science with a concentration in Genetics and a Minor in Chemistry, which has given me knowledge and understanding in different areas of math and science. In addition to my BS, I have tutored students in Algebra, Algebra 2, Geometry, and Pre-Calculus since January 2005.
I enjoy teaching and sharing my knowledge on a subject with others. I think if you know a subject well and refuse to help someone in need with that knowledge, you are being a bit selfish. If you have knowledge, share it with the world even if the world doesn’t want to listen. I am also a strong believer that you can teach any subject to anyone, you just need to find the right approach. My goal is to find that approach and help the student achieve their greatest potential.

I love teaching and working with all children. I believe all children can learn, but each in different ways. I am available to help your child find academic success. I am patient, easy going, and considerate. My goal is to provide the best education possible. I am a firm believer in teaching through discovery and in providing a constructivist approach to learning. I believe all children can meet their potential if they are given the appropriate surroundings and learning experiences. A few good educators can make a world of difference to a child's education. I strive to make a difference in all of my students' lives.
I have earned one bachelor degree, BS in Biology, which has enabled me to gain an understanding in many areas of science.

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 am a well rounded individual who has a wide array of experience in many areas of science. A B.S. in Bioengineering has allowed me to master subjects such as anatomy, nutrition, biology, chemistry, and physics. I was recently invited to Modesto J.C. to become a anatomy tutor. For over one year, I substitute taught in Ceres Unified District where I was able to land a long term position teaching biology for over a month. During my 1st year of college I mentored and tutored a sixth grader and as a senior in high school I along with another student helped to start up tutoring program at our old elementary school.
I find it easy to break down problems to simple elements in order to make them easier to absorb. To effectively teach, one has to be able to relate specific problems to something the student already understands--I can do that. I enjoy teaching dedicated children. I am fairly ... read more

I am native French speaker and I have been living in Modesto area for 2 years. I am an agronomic engineer and I earned several academic degrees in France (BS and a MS in horticulture/agronomy). The last years, I worked in international environment in France and in California as an agronomist and market analyst. By teaching you French, I will also transmit a bit a French culture. In the past years, I teached young students with French and Mathematics, including my young brothers and sister. I am rigorous, detailed-orientated and well-organized.
With a native speaker, you will quickly improve your French skills. As soon as the immediate objectives of your tutoring lessons will be defined, we will work together to achieve the goals. As I learned English as a second language, I truly believe that it is very important to improve your listening/speaking skills while keeping learn ... read more

I love helping students. With my strong, positive feelings towards higher education, I believe every student should take pride in their studies and enjoy the material; and educational material can only be enjoyed if it is understood! I honestly believe that students need to put in the effort to learn themselves. If there isn't a basis of knowledge to go on (whether understood or not), the student would not benefit from tutoring. A tutor's job is not to TEACH the student, it is to help the student understand the material that has been taught and/or read. I refuse to "do the homework" for the student, because I have learned from experience (mostly personal) that this method does not help a student understand.
Education has always been an important element of my life. I earned a BS in Forensic Chemistry, with a dual major in Criminal Justice. I followed by attending graduate sc ... read more
