Experienced Math and Science Tutor

I have tutored many times in math in science. I recently graduated from college and am preparing to teach college calculus. I enjoy teaching and tutoring and am very experienced with any subject in math other than statistics and many subjects in science. I have most recently tutored many high school levels courses such as Algebra I and Algebra II.

More About This Tutor...

I usually start the class with the basic introduction of the subject or course; its main objectives and what the students should expect to learn and be able to apply in actual situations after the semester. Then the lecture time follows where we explore the particular topics which have been assigned to them earlier in the week. Problem solving methodologies are then discussed to assist students in doing their own solutions to problems. Sample problems are then presented where the students are given the chance to provide solutions. Thereafter, I proceed to solve the problem in front of the class for them to copy in their notes. Topics for the next lecture series are then assigned at the end of the class period.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have always been driven to learn and pursue and education, this led me to completing my bachelor's degree in biology with a minor in history from UC- San Diego. I enjoyed tutoring math, science and english while in high school and continued in college. After graduating I volunteered in Chile teaching English which greatly improved my teaching skills and improved my Spanish Language abilities. I currently work as a substitute teacher which allows me to continue to gain teaching experience while I work towards a full credential
I am very patient and outgoing with students, I try to gain a good understanding of where there are at in order to help them understand what is needed and how to achieve their goals. I strive to make a positive impact on my students lives in and out of the classroom.

More About This Tutor...

Teaching is a reciprocal experience for the mentor and the mentee. I believe in fostering a learning environment for my students that is both participatory and relevant to a their individual learning style and interests. Working one-on-one with a child, adult, or in a small group is a privilege and affords the opportunity to do more than just teach; it is an important opportunity to help to empower someone to "learn how to learn." In my teaching, I believe that developing confidence, self-discipline, and appropriate learning tools is just as important as mastery of any particular subject. In any interaction with a student, I understand and value my role as a tutor, and I aim to inspire and to set a positive example.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a creative, patient teacher. I know that everyone learns differently, so I try to come up with many different ways to explain a concept. I love to see the sudden understanding in a student's eyes when they finally understand a difficult concept. This is what makes teaching an addictive and highly fulfilling activity for me.
During my undergraduate years, I often found myself tutoring fellow students. Eventually I got a job working for the math and science tutoring center on campus. I tutored students in my own classes and others, and I also helped teach a vertebrate anatomy lab. I am currently a Master's student in biology, and while biology is my field, I am also an accomplished writer. I feel comfortable helping students in a variety of fields, especially basic mathematics, science, and writing.

I tend to teach by leading participants on a somewhat self-inspired inquiry or pursuit. By providing sufficient material and probing questions, students ready, willing, and able to learn can take us - teacher and student - on surprisingly rewarding journeys. The "brass ring" is there for both.
I'm passionate about science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education. With my degree in geology and experiences in technology and computer arenas, I'm capable of guiding inquiry on such subjects. In addition to traditional teaching, mentoring, and volunteering from grade school computer labs to adult geology field trips, I've also coached teams such as Odyssey of the Mind (at all levels 3rd through 11th grade). My career has also taken me through technical writing, finance, and project management experiences from which many practical skills have emerged.

A Little Bit About Me...

I use a teaching paradigm that stresses the importance of student's needs and learning styles. Every student brings unique skills and perspectives to the classroom and tutor session, and because of this I have found that my teaching strategy changes per student and per teaching situation. For some students, being taught using the socratic method works well, while others like to take notes, absorb the material, then ask questions later during office hours. I have found that understanding student's learning methods have helped me to become a better teacher.
As a student at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo I was interested in English education, especially in terms of helping students improving their reading and writing skills. I followed this interest by tutoring at the university writing lab, as well as doing frequent one-on-one tutor sessions with students in need. At the end of each quarte ... read more
