More About This Tutor...

I am a very patient, hands-on style of tutor. I take the time and try to explain things to people who have a hard time understanding. I try to gage what the student is struggling with and also what they do understand, so I can quickly pinpoint their troubles and focus on the problem issue. Some kids need more explaining, others need a picture drawn out for them. I am good at finding what method people learn best with.
I graduated from the University of Washington last year with a BA in Journalism. I've also received an AA Degree from Highline Community College. Unlike many Journalism students, I have experience in arithmetic like algebra, pre-calculus and calculus. I've tutored students in math and writing, from first graders to college peers.

My drive for knowledge enabled me to complete three degrees by the age of 22. I have high grades in all my classes as well as the extra science and writing classes I take on the side. I have a AAST in environmental science and technology, a BA in marine science and environmental studies, and will have my BS in one quarter. As well as being a full time student except for the summertime I tutor people in need of a little extra help. I have tutors ages from 6-25 and people with disabilities as well. I can help them with every subject, however my strongest subjects to tutor in are Math, Science, and History. I have an understanding that each person learns differently and I am able to cater to those differences in the effort to better help them and encourage there learning.
I love to help all ages in need of a little help passing there classes and/or understanding what they are being ta ... read more

My experiences as a home school instructor for my children at the secondary level of education, as a personal tutor for SAT and GRE test preparation, and as a teaching assistant at the university level have provided me with the requisite skills to assist students at various levels of education. In addition to preparing and presenting a full curriculum (including, music, art and foreign language) for my children over a period of four years, I also have two years experience tutoring in basic grammar and writing skills and library research techniques to university students.
My teaching style, derived from a one on one approach as both a home tutor and teaching assistant, is simple: provide an open environment in which pupils feel free to ask any question. The most important aspects of tutoring are positive reinforcement, repetition, and assisting students as they develop confidence an ... read more

I really enjoy teaching, I have kids that love completely different kinds of music and is fun to discover what they really like, what I do is really simple I just motivate my students teaching them what they really want to learn, I have to learn songs that they really like and show them how to play them in an easy way using music theory and harmony so they understand a lot more. It works great because they do learn fast and I'm having more students every month by recommendations.
I finished my high school in Peru and after that I went to Barcelona(spain) to study music. I started playing guitar 10 years ago but playing like 12 hours per day, I took it really serious, I started teaching 5 years ago, and right now is what I do, I work with bands playing in bars, casinos, or recording sessions, and I give private lessons, I work at Rhythm fire school of music in olympia also.

I have worked with at-risk children in the Chicago Public Schools system to teach a wide range of skills, primarily focusing on college readiness skills, essay and resume writing, ACT preparation, and remedial and advanced reading techniques. I am also highly qualified to teach speech and journalism, and have a year of experience in each as well. I feel I can make the most impact on students when I work with them one-on-one, and so I am excited to transition from the full-time teaching to the tutoring field.
I consider myself to be fun and entertaining and very approachable in my teaching methods. I never lose patience with students and believe that making mistakes is equally as important as making progress. All students can become better writers with a little hard work and a bit of desire to do so, and I can give them the tools to produce their best writing to date.

A Little Bit About Me...

Everyone has the ability to learn but not everyone has the same ability. Most people are visual or tactile learners whereas most teachers, in my experience, use verbal/aural instruction methods. I believe in tailoring my teaching to the needs of the student and not to what I am most relaxed with. I have personally taught several tactile students who had to have something in their hands or they could not grasp the concepts. Other times I've instructed students in strong visual methods incorporating drawings, artwork and short videos.
During my studies at USU I worked at Adams Elementary both as a Teachers Aid as well as a Mentor during the After School Program. I worked one-on-one as well as in groups of students grade k-5. This position was one of the most rewarding and enjoyable that I've had and would love to continue. I have also taught American Sign Language at the University ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Having the opportunity to work with and help all sorts of students has allowed me to better define and shape the methods that I use to teach and assist students. I would describe my teaching style as very dynamic. I try my best to explore what methods of thinking and presentation work best for each individual student. I typically try to present topics from multiple perspectives (eg: visually vs. abstractly). I also emphasize peeling back the layers of knowledge to a level the student finds intuitive and then rebuilding on that foundation.
I am a recent graduate of the University of Washington. My studies focused on physics, pure/abstract mathematics, applied mathematics, computer science, as well as some work in statistics and engineering disciplines. I have a BS in Applied Computational Mathematical Sciences which is a hybrid degree that focuses on all of the disciplines listed ab ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As the middle child in the family, I was very competitive among my siblings. I was very much driven to achieve goals that I set for myself. I have earned two bachelor degrees, a BA in Theater Art and a BS in Biology, which have enabled me to gain an understanding in various ways areas of science and math. During the past several years, I have tutored students in all levels of math, and science, and have students ranging in age from kindergarten all the way through college.
I love working with children, especially the younger ones, but I don’t' mind working with any age groups. I believe all children can learn in many forms; some may be visual learners and some may be tactile. I believe that all children can achieve their goals if they have the right help and the right roll model to look up to. I am patient, easy going, and passionate about what I do. My goal is to provide excellenc ... read more

I am good at tuning in with each individual's basic nature, and working with the talents that they do have but may not recognize. Through patience and a playful sense of fun, I can help people to help themselves, to recognize how they can make sense of material that at first seems daunting. I do my best to make it a team effort, to let the student drive the learning in order to achieve a sense of accomplishment. I pay attention to what works, emotionally and psychologically, for the student, and find ways to build on those successes.
During my undergraduate years at the University of Oregon, I spent several months in Mexico teaching English to children ranging in age from 6-15. During this time I perfected my Spanish as well, and wrote many papers in both Spanish and English. While pursuing my Electrical Engineering degree at the University of Tulsa, I taught Kumon math classes ... read more

I believe education should enrich and engage a students mind. I work very hard to make connections for what students are learning to what they are passionate about. Through strong encouragement and support, I make an effort to give students confidence while challenging them to move forward and deepen their understanding. I strive to give students the means they need to take pride in their work. I have seen so many students flourish after having someone re-explain a concept in a way that makes sense to them. I am willing to put the time and energy it takes to find the explanation that works best for each student. I believe all my students can succeed in their lives.
As a graduate of the University of Washington's English program, I have studied a variety of concepts and theory in literature and critical analysis. I have extensive experience in writing a wide range of papers as well ... read more

I hold a Bachelor of Arts degree in Humanities which covered a wide range of subject matter.

My professional experiences include working as a Teacher in a Before & After School program, a Teacher in various enrichment programs, Substitute Teaching, and Assistant Teaching.

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe that all learning builds upon a foundation of previous learning. The key to helping a student to retain information is to make certain that student possesses all the prior knowledge needed to support the new information. For example, it is very difficult to teach a student the concept of the passive verb voice if that student does not understand the difference between a verb and other parts of speech. I am a knowledge junkie and really enjoy discovering new things. As a teacher I often lead students down proverbial side roads that will introduce them to subjects they might not have otherwise studied.
I began teaching when I was homeschooling my own children. They joined a weekly co-op and I was asked to teach high school level writing, public speaking and music appreciation for co-op students(not all at the same time). I discovered that students who took my clas ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe strongly in the importance of traditional subjects such as grammar and composition, reading for comprehension and appreciation, and knowledge of our cultural heritage. I tailor my tutoring to the student's personal experiences and background, in order that he/she has a real connection to the material. I strive to explain fully the practical purpose of any subject we are covering, as well as how study of a given subject can, does, and will enrich the student's life, now and in the years to come. I take time to explain how each bit of new knowledge is a building block, and you must begin with a firm foundation before you can climb high in a subject area and feel the thrill at the pinnacle of your study. I like to incorporate a sense of humor as well as "reality checks" in my communication with pupils; i.e., sometimes we have to reach inside ourselves to find a reason to compl ... read more
