Like everything I do in life, I like to have a plan to go about working through situations. I have had many years as a chemistry tutor and I have come across many different people with different issues when it comes to learning chemistry. My understanding of chemistry allows me to approach a problem from different angles to help the tutee understand the problem. I believe anyone is capable of learning chemistry and I have seen many students who struggled with the subject turn their grades around. When I was a student, I had many inspirational teachers, and I for one would like to give back to the educational system and benefit people and inspire them to do well in chemistry and in their educational career in general.
As a recent graduate of the CSU East Bay chemistry program, I was given the opportunity to have personal instruction from many different professors. I was able to ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My way of teaching science is by letting students answer their own questions. By doing so, the students can learn to solve problems more analytically. I believe this teaching technique will also helps student to develope a strong independent thinking.
I have extensive experience in teaching undergraduate laboratory courses in physical, analytical, and inorganic chemistry. Among my responsibilities as a teaching assistant were preparing samples, giving laboratory lectures, leading discussion groups, and providing student evaluation. I also helped design experiments for an undergraduate physical chemistry lab course. During my semester as head chemistry TA at Marquette, I coordinated laboratory classes with other teaching assistants. As a graduate student, I had the opportunity to work in various chemistry labs where I independently designed experiments to answer specific research ... read more

I enjoy teaching and working with children and feel that it is important to understand that not all students learn the same way. I feel that my college experience has taught me to discover the ways I learn and understand things. In that sense I feel that all students have the potential to succeed if they acknowledge and become aware of their appropriate manner of learning. I think that being patient, compassionate and understanding is a must, which I feel I can bring fourth as a tutor and mentor. Doing community service in high school to my college years I have always enjoyed working and helping others because of the rewarding feeling that you can make a difference in someone's life.
As a graduate of Sociology I have gained a lot of knowledge about how society functions. I was interested in this area of study to understand peoples because I have always had compassion for others. ... read more

My goal as a tutor is to awaken in students a genuine love of learning and to provide them with meaningful opportunities to acquire the skills they need to succeed in their chosen paths. Passion for growth, commitment to excellence, enthusiasm for exploring new ideas, and a growing sense of self-mastery: these are the qualities that I seek to cultivate in my students, whatever their age. My approach to tutoring incorporates a sensitivity to the unique goals, interests, and learning preferences that all students bring to the process, so they feel connected to what they are learning and recognize that their studies have enduring value.

My teaching style targets the needs of the particular students I am working with. If my students are visual learners, than my job is to make sure I am providing them with the visuals and demonstrations that are helping them be successful. I believe and know that children have various learning modalities and as an educator I make it my job to accommodate those various academic and sometimes social needs. I never lower my expectations for any students, I only change the direction of my teaching in order to best suit their needs. My goal is to help students succeed, not only in terms of academics, but also socially and professionally. There is definitely a strong correlation between health and academics and if a child is feels healthy mentally, physically and emotionally, than they are likely to be successful.
My experience in the field of education began with my volunteer work during ... read more

I recently graduated from the University of California, Santa Barbara with a Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences and strong background in Chemistry. I have completed the Organic Chemistry series with excellent grades. I also completed two quarters of Biochemistry with above average grades. I enjoyed learning these subjects and I would love to tutor this subject. My tutoring experience consists of eight months assisting fourth graders in reading. I have a great interest in teaching as I plan to go abroad to teach English sometime next year.
My tutoring experience has been very rewarding, because results are evident within a couple of sessions with the students. I am patient, positive, and creative. As a student in Organic Chemistry I have learned that repetition is the best way to know the material. As a teacher for Organic Chemistry I believe that after the initial ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I love helping children learn in a way that's fun and supportive. I strongly engage my students in the process by asking questions and balancing the different learning styles (auditory, written, verbal, physical). I can bring structure and focus to students' learning path in a compassionate and safe environment, and help them gain confidence and be successful.
I have always enjoyed helping people learn, from dancing and sailing in my youth, to English and French more recently. For two years I was a tutor at a resource center at a city college, where I helped students on a one on one basis with reading and writing skills. I have tutored privately a number of clients in French, and I currently teach a French class at an after care program.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a firm believer that each and every student has equal ability to succeed in their academic pursuits. It is up to the teacher to provide the tools and environment that enables the student to flourish. Not only does a good teacher educate the child, but they also motivate the student to further pursue academic achievements. I believe in giving students the tools needed to solve current and future problems, not just a quick solution.
I am a graduate of UC San Diego earning a BS in Structural Engineering. I have a strong grasp of the math and science fields, and how concepts from each discipline overlap and interconnect. In addition to my own academic pursuits I have tutored and worked in the classroom environment with students ranging from grades 1-6.

Education has always been an essential function in my life, it eventually became my passion. I achieved a bachelor's degree in Theatre Arts and a Master's degree in Mass Communications/screenwriting which I believe portrays my adoration for learning new things and excelling at things I am already interested in. I have two younger siblings in which I have tutored my whole life in multiple subjects and it has been rewarding in ways I cannot describe. In my last year of Graduate school, I was a teacher's assistant for the head professor of screenwriting for the bachelor's program. Most of my expertise is in the Arts but I can also accomodate Elementary, Junior High and High School subjects (English, Literature, and Language Arts, mostly).
My teaching style consists of consistency, understanding, consideration, connection and positive acknowledgement. All children need consistency ... read more

I am an Ivy League graduate with a BA in Classics. As an undergraduate, I studied Latin and ancient Greek, as well as classical and medieval history and literature. I have extensive experience in researching, writing and editing due to my own studies as well as reviewing the work of colleagues. I have two years experience teaching small classes and tutoring individuals.
I enjoy working with children because of their curiosity and forthrightness. Through exploration of the subject matter, I engage their curiosity while respecting their opinions and efforts. I am patient and work to establish a rapport with a child so that s/he is comfortable with me. This allows for a greater focus on the material to be studied. I know that every child can learn and progress, if given the tools to succeed.

As a college graduate, I have a deep understanding of the kind of hard work and dedication it takes to be successful. As an English major, I wrote extensively.

I have volunteered English as a Second Language tutoring services through the Santa Barbara Public Library for over two years. My students have come from Mexico, Latvia, and Mongolia. In addition, my most recent paid jobs as a Market Research Analyst/Associate Analyst included Editing/Quality Control duties, focusing on proper grammar, style, and content. I have a passion for the proper use of the English language, both spoken and written, and would relish an opportunity to share that passion with students.
Each student is unique and needs to be approached in a unique teaching fashion. I try hard to listen to students and to learn what their goals and needs are. I then tailor the teaching approach to meet those goals and needs, fully believing that if students sense they are being listened to they will also feel motivated to learn.

I have a passion for learning, and a love of all types of diversity. I thrive in one-on-one and small group scenarios where I can identify the learning styles and strengths of each child, and cater to their individuality. When I taught swimming one summer at the YMCA, I quickly became the favored instructor for kids aged 3-8, especially those in the extremes: fearful and fearless. The fearful children needed to be coaxed into confidence so that they could feel safe and proud to succeed at their own pace, while the fearless children needed firm but loving boundaries to ground them in safety and discipline so that they could be freed up to push themselves to their full potential.
For more than 20 years I have been an educator and advocate for children and families in multiple settings. I have eight years of volunteer and paid classroom experience with K-12, teaching and tutoring in a ... read more
