A Little Bit About Me...

PhD in Neuroscience, awarded in 1981 from University of California, School of Medicine, San Francisco. 30 years postdoctoral and Research Faculty appointments, research emphasis cellular and molecular neuroscience. Teaching in neuroscience courses to undergraduates, graduate students, medical students.
I have an unusual gift for explaining difficult concepts clearly. I like to bring up background (perhaps including chemistry or physics) to help understanding. I strive to help a student truly understand a concept and reason it out for themselves.

I worked a child with their study skills, I helped bring their grade from D's to A's and B's. I helped the student with English, Math, and with the child staying on task and making the work fun to learn. We made up games and made stories that helped make the child memorize and enjoy to learn the boring stuff

A Little Bit About Me...

I started tutoring classmates in seventh grade and tutored friends in college in Trigonometry. I have earned two BS degrees in Landscape Architecture and Computer Science with a minor in Math. this diverse education allows me to tutor in Math and Science as well as design and art. I have tutored part-time since 2004, mostly in high school Math, but have also assisted in Chemistry, CBEST, SAT, and GRE prep. I have also developed coursework and taught at UCSC in the classroom setting, and trained employees.
My first visit is just an assessment of where the student began to get lost regardless of the age or level. More often that not, they have to memorize their fractions to decimal to percentage conversion from 1/2 to 1/12. Given this underlying knowledge allows me to focus on the subject at hand. I usually recommend purchasing a Spark Notes or something similar for the subject as a ... read more

I enjoy teaching and see it as one of my gifts. In all of my jobs I've seen it as my goal to help others learn and grow. I believe that everyone is a natural learner, everyone is curious. Each of us has a different learning style and I am sensitive to that in each person that I teach. I am a naturally calm and friendly person and I always discover something I like about the people with whom I work. I love to inspire and encourage and help learners experience the joy of discovery.
As a college graduate with both a bachelor's and master's degree, I have always been seeking excellence in learning. I have, over the years written many papers, reports, and essays, and consequently have learned and used many writing skills in many contexts. I have written academic papers, mental health reports, and sermons. For the past 20+ years in my work as a pastor and mental health rehab spec ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have worked with children of all ages in different environments and capacities for the past 20 years. It all started at the YMCA Afterschool and Summer Programs which gave me my first satisfactory feeling for being around young people. That led to substitute teaching and to 6 years in the classroom with 6th graders. For 1 year I taught English as a Foreign Language in Slovenia and Germany. Finally, I yearned for more one on one experience which resulted in being a Independent Study teacher for the past 5 years. I believe my variety of experiences as an educator has prepared me well to help a wide range of students.
With my background and degree being in music, I have enjoyed finding creative ways to induce wonder and enthusiasm for learning in my students. I have always accomplished this with the utmost patience, consideration and respect. This last quality in my style (respect o ... read more

More About This Tutor...

As a recent college graduate with a BA in Spanish and a BA in International Affairs, I possess current experiences from my studies in the United States, Europe and South America. Since attending college in Spain and Argentina I understand word usage and vocabulary differences within the Spanish language. Mixed with my superior Spanish skills I am able to discuss and explain political differences in Spanish and explain, on a historical level, how government has evolved internationally. As a past member of the Sacramento Jazz Society I also have a strong background in music both in practice and theory. Since high school, I have tutored others in Spanish, government, music and sports.
I come from a family of teachers and, like my parents, I enjoy helping others and reaching the end goal of aiding a student in attaining their own aspirations both long and short term. I understand ... read more

I earned my Bachelors of Fine Arts in 2003 and I have taught creative writing, theatre, playwriting, and acting since then. In 2005, I gained my substitute teacher credential and have taught all around Sacramento, substituting for teachers in all subjects. I also write plays and poems. I have always had an interest and talent for teaching kids. I have taught kids from one on one, all the way to audiences of 300. I have also worked as a nanny for 10 years, so I know what kids are into, what they like, and how to get them to respond.
I believe that kids learn better when they are enjoying themselves and sometimes even having fun! I try to make the things they are learning interesting and entertaining. If a child does not want to learn, they won't, by adding fun into the equation, you have created the desire to learn in that child. I am very patient and easy-going, but I also know whe ... read more

“Shoot for the moon… Even if you miss you’ll land amongst the stars.” I believe that there are no limitations to the amount of knowledge that a student can acquire. I have high expectations of each and every child, keeping in mind their own personal potential at all times. Private tutoring allows me the opportunity to do what I enjoy most in a more relaxed environment. I conduct my tutoring sessions in a demanding, yet nurturing atmosphere. I don't believe in busy work. I believe that through intense one-on-one guidance and practice a student can succeed in leaps and bounds. Each student's success, both personal and academic, truly is my greatest goal!!
For 13 years, I have been teaching at Merryhill Schools at the 4th, 5th, and 4th/5th grade levels. As the designated Lead Teacher for 5 years, I was responsible for orientation and supervision of new teachers. ... read more
