I started my teaching experience as a hired math tutor for the University of Maryland while I was getting my BS in Civil Engineering. While pursuing my MS and PhD in Civil Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley I was a teaching assistant for 4 years. I taught both undergraduate and graduate level classes with responsibilities including: writing and drafting a course reader from professor’s lectures; designing, organizing, writing, and compiling assignments and projects; teaching weekly lab and discussion sessions during which students worked in teams to complete long term projects; mentoring students during weekly office hours; proctoring and grading exams and projects. I am comfortable teaching all levels of mathematics.
Wanting to teach is the major reason I got my PhD. I've always had a love of learning, and want to be able to share that with students. It is i ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

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 best approach is one where self-motivation from within is encouraged, as any subject is difficult without the right motivation. To identify the right motivation, as a tutor back in 2001, I took time to discuss with the students their interests and goals. By understanding them on this personal level, I felt it was easier to connect with them and make them realize that their success was of great importance to me.
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 intere ... read more

I am an example that having the right guidance at an early age can really make a difference. I was accelerated from level 4 to 5 based on academic proficiency, and was granted a scholarship to the most prestigious math and science high school in the Philippines, which gave me a very good foundation in math and sciences, and that knowledge made my transition into university very easy. I was then admitted to the top performing university (UP) in the Philippines, and graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Civil Engineering at the age of 20. For the last 5 years, I have been doing volunteer tutoring in Math for children in middle school and for those who are reviewing for high school and university entrance examinations .
I love working with children. I can easily build a rapport with kids, making them more comfortable because I believe that learning should also be fun and enjoyable. ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have been a substitute teacher for about 10 years specializing in math & physics. I have a BS in Mechanical Engineering plus 20+ years of maintenance/engineering experience. I incorporate practical examples in teaching to give students in depth knowledge in a practical sense. I gather my examples from my varied career experiences from the Military, Aircraft, Engineering, Manufacturing/Maintenance & Computer fields. I sporadically tutors students in my specialty.
I use the Active Participation strategy because it engages the learner not only in understanding but in contributing as well. This active learning process combined with introduction of practical uses/examples of the the subject matter provides a deeper meaning. But most of all the Objective,Purpose,and what their interests are, must be known so that these can be incorporated in the learning process.
