More About This Tutor...

People are always surprised when they find out I'm a math nerd. I'm outgoing, I like to joke and I play sports. But believe it or not, I actually do enjoy math and this is one of the biggest reasons for my success as a tutor/teacher. I don't fake my enthusiasm and this helps engage students. I like to think of myself as fun and I like to make a joke here and there. I believe that a lot of times, less is more when it comes to teaching math. I try to do as little leading as possible when helping students solve problems so that they will be best equipped in the future to solve on their own. I have always enjoyed teaching and I love sharing success with others.
I graduated Magna Cum Laude from USC with a degree in Business and have spent six years as an actuary working in a professional and math-oriented field for major firms (Blue Shield and Mercer). I have a strong backgrou ... read more

More About This Tutor...

As controller and supervisor for a manufacturing company I was responsible for the accuracy of the accounting data generated by my staff. Part of being a supervisor is to be a teacher. My experience has taught me that it is equally important to teach the staff not just how to complete a task but also why the accurate completion of the task is important. I have found that if a staff member understands the objective of the task and its relevance, then the staff member is in a better position to troubleshoot problems on his or her own and thus becomes a more valuable member of the team. As a high school teacher, I understand that people learn by different methodologies and also at different paces. Patience is the key.
I possess over 20 years of managerial and financial accounting experience including several years of staff supervision. Most recently, I was controller (eight years) ... read more

I have experience working with children and tutoring high school students on multiple subjects (math and science). I have also tutored in subjects such as economics and how to study effectively. I have taught subjects in small group settings as well. I hold a BS degree in chemical engineering from UC Davis.
My teaching style focuses on the student and his/her struggles. I really try to make the student understand the topic at hand and how to study it effectively. Studying techniques are very important and I introduce those techniques to the student. I really guide the student step-by-step through his/her struggles and to build their confidence. I change their mentality to a positive one. I enjoy working with others and I use all the resources that I can to make the student understand the topic. I usually give extra practice problems and I really challenge the students thin ... 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

I have a BS in business administration and I am currently attending an online MBA program. I currently work as an admissions advisor at a private college so I have experience mentoring and advising students. Although I do not have teaching experience, I do have the knowledge and communication skills to help students succeed. Although marketing is my forte, I did well in statistics and English related courses. I am also skilled essays and research papers. My goal is to become a college professor in the business field. This type of position would be a good fit for me and will help me achieve my goals.
I think you have to teach a steady pace and make sure that the little things are understood first. Students also like their learning to be interesting, so student involvement is a must in my mind. An instructor should have student involvement in the lessons and not speak the whole time ... read more
