I love Science!

I use a mixture of Socratic methodology, direct instruction, worked examples and analogies to render difficult conepts understandable to students.
I have a solid educational background in chemistry and my general interest in all aspects of the sciences make me a very well rounded and informed candidate. In attaining my science mastery, I have become very facile at mathematics as well. I have taught Chemistry (General, AP, and Honors), along Space, Geology, Earth and Life Science classes for 12 years both privately and in public high schools here in California and abroad. I easily build rapport with students and have tutored for many years all the way back to 1990. Furthermore, I am authorized to teach Specially Designed Academic instruction in English (SDAIE) courses under SB 2042.

More About This Tutor...

As a accomplished student, I realized I always had help along the help with achieving academic success. From teachers and counselors to my peers and older students. I began to help other with academics as early as the third grade, however I began to commit to tutoring in High School and continue it through-out college, in hopes to eventually becoming a teacher in the future.
I believe anyone can teach a subject, having enough knowledge of a subject allows one to pass it on. However, I feel what many teachers do not do is teach students how to learn. It is in my belief that teaching students to learn enables them to think independently allowing them to become more creative rather than repetitive. So not only do I teach students the subject, I teach them how to learn and apply it to every other subject.

Prior to receiving my BA in Music, I worked for over twenty years in the medical and pharmaceutical field as a medical transcriptionist, medical biller/coder and pharmaceutical technician. I attended many courses to obtain a medical transcription license and pharmaceutical technician license in California. During my early college years, I tutored music students at Diablo Valley College in Pleasant Hill, CA and math students. I made a decision to return back to college to pursue a degree. I graduated from the University of New Mexico with a BA in Music in 2007. I obtained a licensure to teach Music/K-8 in New Mexico. While attending college, I ran my own home music studio. I enjoyed working with students one-on-one. I recently relocated back to California and am excited to work with students addressing their academic needs. I have experience working with music and math students of ... read more

In 1995, I began my official tutoring odyssey by assisting my classmates in AP Calculus. Every day during lunch I spent my half-hour helping my fellow high school seniors succeed, ultimately achieving a 4/5 on the AP exam and guiding others to similar grades. Since those days I have tutored in-home and taught mathematics at the private secondary school level, fostering student knowledge of various concepts from arithmetic to calculus. My degree, my passion, is mathematics.
My students often say I can’t be a teacher because they “just get it" when I explain. Even so, my degree is in math and I've taught professionally and privately. I have a history of maintaining high scores and would rather show why something works than how to follow steps. I don't expect students to love math or do it "my way" but I want students to know math isn't scary. To this end, I explain every step, do ass ... read more

I believe in individualized teaching. In my sixth grade classroom, I individualized instruction wherever possible. In reading I tested my students and placed them in books at their reading level. I had them write reading summaries and corrected their first drafts. In sixth weeks, I retested and in most instances moved students to a higher level. In my math classes, I tested students and had them begin at the level that they needed to master. If a student could not add, I had him work on his addition skills. I moved students to the next skill level once they had mastered the level that they were working on. Of course, I did group teaching in my classroom, but I individualized wherever possible.
I taught for twenty five years at the middle school level mostly in a self contained sixth grade classroom. In addition to teaching reading, English, math, science,and social studies, I t ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Most recently, I was engaged in research and writing of my dissertation. I worked at a local High school for three years teaching inner-city Hispanic youth. I was the primary special education teacher for all students grades 9-12. During this time I was also a graduate assistant, co-teaching with professors and supervising graduate students during their internships in local schools. For the past two years I have been working with Riverside Publishing. With Riverside Publishing I normed the WJC IV Test of Achievement.
In order to account for individual learning styles and engage learners appropriately, my lessons include tasks that incorporated visual, audio, and kinesthetic learning styles. Visual tasks were presented using the whiteboard, computer or manipulatives to list the essential points of a lecture, and students were provided with an outline to follow along with during ins ... read more

Throughout my life, I have always felt very strong about achieving a high level of education. As a older sibling to a child that had a learning disability, I felt it was my responsiblity to help him achieve a high school diploma. From the age of six years old to his senior year in high school, I tutored my brother in all subjects, from math and english to electives. From this experience, I was able to help other children improve their level of education as well.
I enjoy teaching and helping all children. I am a strong believer that all children can be taught all subjects, and should be given the opportunity to do just that. I am always willing to teach the child, in the best way that will help them, whether this be through explanation, or through a hands on approach. Children are our future, and should be given the opportunities to learn.

Whether the lesson is necessary for academic requirements or for leisure, I have always enjoyed passing my knowledge of the French language and culture to others, adapting my lessons to the level required by the student(s). Not everybody can flourish at the same pace; therefore my patience is an added bonus. I place emphasis on areas that most meet the student need, be it speaking, writing or grammar, and in some cases, culture. I have taught French at exam level as well as casual conversational level. An important part of any first lesson is to assess student need.
I am French born and educated, with an MA in English from the Institut Catholique de Paris. Married to an Englishman, with two grown-up daughters, I have lived in California for the past 13 years, prior to which we lived in the UK. My experience includes work for the language department of Cricklade College, Andover, UK ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Teaching is my passion, I believe that every student has the ability to do better and every student can be taught. There is no set method to teach as every person absorbs information differently. I like to teach by providing many different methods of instruction and then observing which is the best of my students. In the mathematics and science areas there are a variety of instruction methods. For mathematics, I teach a student how to do a problem, then go over a problem together before finally allowing the student to solve one. An educator needs to adjust their teaching method with every student he/she works with and I believe that this is one skill that I am excellent at.
I currently have a BS in biology with a Minor in Chemistry and 2 concentrations. Earning this degree enabled me to not only study biology, but also allowed me to study mathematics. I have taken math cours ... read more
