Trigonometry Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Jolon, CA

I truly enjoy teaching and working with all levels of math learners. I was blessed to have great math teachers in my education that transferred their passion for the subject on to me. Many students are very apprehensive when they enter math classes because the concepts seem so foreign. I feel the most important thing when it comes to math tutoring is being able to break down mathematical concepts in easy to understand terms so that students are not overwhelmed. Math is fun if it is taught the right way! I am a Corporate Finance professional whose true passion is math education. I have a Bachelor's degree in Mathematics and a Masters in Business Administration - Finance. In college, I worked as a Teacher's Assistant at my old high school and as a private math tutor for 1-2 years in subjects ranging from algebra to calculus. I also worked as a college math seminar instructor for 2 y

At Hartnell College I tutured math and economics. Recently I tutored a co-worker who was taking a college Accounting class and he appreciated it and said that I was very helpful. I have a Bachelor's degree in accounting and many years of accounting experience. I also have knowledge of computer programming with html, css, javascript, php, and mysql. I have advanced skills in Excel spreadsheets. I also know Word, Powerpoint, Access, and Quickbooks. I can tutor math through the pre-calculus level. I'm also good at English and received an "A" in Business English. I can tutor drums (drum set, reading music for snare drum) through intermediate level. My style of teaching is to first get the student to understand the basics that are needed as a foundation. For example, my friend was having trouble completing accounting homework and I soon realized that it was because he had not memorize

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. I taught electrical engineering students who were in their higher years in their batch. Subjects taught included the following: College Physics, Differential and Integral Calculu

After graduation in 1979, I decided to continue my studies and got units in MA Mathematics. Having earned 12 units, I worked as a college instructor, teaching subjects like college algebra, trigonometry, statistics and business mathematics from 1980 to 1990. When my children started growing up I tutored all my four (4) kids from their kinder level to their collegiate level. From elementary mathematics to simple college statistics, algebra and other related math subjects. As a teacher I work well with my students, giving them the basic ideas that they need to learn to appreciate mathematics. As a mother of four, I provided them the idea that mathematics is really an enjoyable subject.With much patience and compassion, I was able to impart to them that learning is fun. I give them lots of examples to solve, then I explain to them the step by step computation. In the end, I would give t

I am a CPA licensed in Arizona and California having worked with KPMG and local CPA firms. I am also a Certified Internal Auditor. My work experience has been as the Controller in turn-around situations, manufacturing, distribution and agriculture operations as well as small family operated construction and retail companies. I tutored College Algebra and Trigonometry to students at Arizona State University and taught and coached children swimming and diving teams. I also taught “Cash Flow Management” classes for the Arizona Society of Accountants as well as many other presentations (intro to 401k, safety programs, stock options, inventory procedures, etc.) in the companies where I have worked. I am a teacher at heart and many of the students and other professionals in my classes have said that I should change professions. I approach teaching as a process of understanding wh

Through my different career experiences I have discovered that my heart is in working with children, and I believe that given the proper environment and support every child is capable of learning and growing. Having tutored and received tutoring myself during times in which I was struggling, I believe that having struggled myself, that I understand from a personal perspective what works best in helping a person succeed. I often develop a friendly personal relationship with whom ever I work with and believe a mutual respect is necessary for each person to succeed. I understand the importance of step by step learning, especially with math, that it is necessary and it is essential that none of those steps are missed or skipped over. Holding a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering, I tutored in a math lab during the summer of my college years and later went into the Peace Corps in Zim

My teaching style is hands on. I give hints and partial answers in an effort to encourage students to think through problems and attempt to solve them. If necessary, I separate an idea into simpler terms, and help students learn each term before continuing. I give examples which illustrate a point or demonstrate a procedure. At times, my students write short essays, which I critique for sentence structure, word choice, tense matching, and organization. When a student is reading aloud, I follow along, interjecting if necessary with the correct pronunciation or the proper syllable emphasis. In college, I was taught to organize topics in Math, Science and English, using outlines. This ensured that I studied all of the material presented in class. During my career, I use the same method to grasp difficult concepts. As a technical advisor, I shared my knowledge with clients, answering quest

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. 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

In High School I discovered that not only was I skilled in math and science, but that I was effective in tutoring other students in these subjects. I started professionally tutoring students younger than me when I was a junior and continued until I graduated college. I successfully tutored students in Algebra, Geometry/Trig, Algebra 2, Pre-Calc, Chemistry, Physics, Biology, and SAT Prep. I have taught swimming and been a lifeguard through American Red Cross since I was 16, and in 2007 decided to take the next step and become an instructor for them. I now teach CPR/First Aid, and Lifeguard Training for different facilities in the area. I feel that my largest teaching strength is the ability to identify where students are having problems and address those issues first. If students don't understand the fundamentals, it is impossible to teach them advanced concepts. In addition to this
