Learning can be fun!!

When tutoring, I strive to make lessons engaging, effective and enjoyable. Specifically, I tailor lessons according to an individual student's needs and involve students in a dialogue by asking questions that provoke thought, conversation, and perhaps humor. Because facts and figures are easily looked up in the information age, I place particular emphasis on thinking and on "learning how to learn". My teaching goals for any student are threefold: 1. learn the material (well!) 2. pass the test/subject (with a comfortable margin!), and 3. enjoy it (most challenging with math!).
I love learning and teaching alike. My first teaching experience was in high school when I helped teach inner city children how to swim. Following high school, I earned a bachelor's degree in genetics at UC Berkeley, during which time I worked as a teacher's assistant for a genetics professor. While in m ... read more

My comments on tutoring Biology : Academics

Experience in teaching and tutoring science, mathematics and English. Strong academic background in mathematics: basic mathematics, algebra, geometry, trigonmentry, calculus and statistics; science: biology, botany, chemistry, genetics, physics and engineering; English: grammar, reading, vocabulary, composition and technical writing, speech and presentations.
My teaching style depends on the indivual and his/her learning abilities. I believe that anyone can learn a subject if they are moviated and consistant in doing homework and asking quetions.

I worked with students from the age of eight to eighteen. Each age group provided its own set of challenges and opportunities to strengthen my experience as a tutor. I worked with children in small groups or one-on-one, based on the child's learning style. I encouraged the children to set their academic goals high and use the support from their peers to help them achieve their goals. I have no one set teaching style, I get to know each student's learning style so that they can benefit the most from the tutoring session. Through patience, respect and dedication, I work with students so that they can achieve their goals.
As a United States Peace Corps Volunteer, I worked with local youth in a Fijian village over the course of two years. I created a study groups based on education level and subject matter for the young adults living in the community. I focused lessons on Englis ... read more

I really enjoy tutoring kids in science classes because it is something that interests me and that I understand, so I want anyone who I tutor to know everything that I know. Since I am set to going to Physical Therapy school in 2010, it is a subject that I have to know very well, therefore, I have a lot of information about it.
I graduated from Cal Baptist University with a 3.87 GPA. My major was Kinesiology with concentrations in exercise science and physical education. During my senior year in college, I would regularly tutor my fellow classmates in anatomy and physiology and I am just finishing up taking biology at College of the Desert.

As engineering student I was always dedicated to my studies,and I truly enjoy learning. During my high school and college years I was a swimming coach at the local swim club and that is were I realized my love for teaching. After moving to the U.S. I worked as a substitute teacher for the desert sands unified school district for almost 8 months before entering my CLS training program. I am currently working with the School of medical technology program to enhance the curriculum and better the educational experience.
I am a person that is driven by the joy you get when a student finally understand something they didn't think they could. I am a teacher that will change my approach depending on the student and I will not stop until I am sure that they "get it". My strengths are physics, chemistry and math and i love making these subjects fun for all ages.

While I pride myself on being approachable, patient and easy going, I tend to approach teaching in a methodical manner. I believe that student's time and attention is very valuable, and warrants preparation and thoroughness. My initial approach is always to first assess a student's needs, goals, learning style, and accomplishments. Next, I pick a strategy to approach the needs of the student. For example, I might select a straight-forward text or document from which I could teach loosely, such as the book "With Good Reason". (It is an excellent text on argumentative methods.) Editing and reworking methods eventually becomes paramount. I am available to help students electronically. This is a style currently 'in vogue' at my university, espoused by my professors. Students can really benefit from the focused attention it can provide.

I found consistently thoughout my teaching career that learning is enhanced with adjunctive, extensive illustrations and a hands on approach with related laboratory investigations whenever possible. I so enjoy my approach to teaching utilizing these additional factors to the lecture because I have seen the results in the degree to which my students have learned. My classes scored among the highest in national achievement testing for two years in a row. I thoroughly enjoy teaching and the satisfaction I realize when seeing how well a student has responded to my teaching efforts.
It is essential that the student learns, both the basics and the specifics of the subject matter being presented to him or her. It is equally essential that the instructor presents those concepts to the student in a manner that is clear, easy to understand and meaningful. Not only have I been colleged t ... read more
