Chess is one of my top subjects! I can play chess, Chinese chess and Weiqi (Go) (a Chinese traditional chess with more than 1,000 years history).

When I was in the Guangdong Ocean University (GDOU)in China, my major is Chinese. And my major is focus on teaching the foreigners how to speak and write Chinese. I am a good public speaker and I have an outstanding eloquence. I have rich experiences in speaking in front of people. I was the host of performances of College of Liberal Art in Guangdong Ocean University (GDOU) in China. I hosted the Top-10 Singer Competition, the Cooking Competition and the Speech Competition. And I was also the host of 2013 Mid-Autumn Festival Celebration Performance in UC Davis. Furthermore, I am the director, writer and actor of the Chinese witty skit for 2013 Mid-Autumn Festival Celebration Performance in UC Davis. So, even though I do not have experience in being a tutor, I believe my public speaking and other experience can definitely make me be a good tutor.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have worked with students of all ages. I have taught elementary all the way to college level students. I have taught basic math,algebra, trigonometry, pre-calculus, calculus and SAT math. I graduated from electrical engineering school. I understand what it takes to bring students up to speed. Over the years I have learned that students did not understand the subject because they did not master the basics. Math is like solving the puzzle, one has to master the previous course before moving on to the next.

I have never been someone who "just gets it" when it comes to math or science, and so I understand more than many people who pursued degrees in these subjects just how puzzling they can be. Math seems like it is filled with "tricks" that seem impossible to know unless you were born with some innate gift. When I teach, I seek to show, step-by-step. how to think about a problem as more than a set of symbols on paper. I seek to impart the critical thinking skills that reveal why those tricks aren't tricks at all, but are instead a natural part of the grammar of math and science.
I graduated from Duke University in 2009 with a triple-major in Biomedical Engineering, Economics, and Mathematics. I have tutored in Economics and spent four years mentoring middle-schools students in Engineering as a Techtronics Fellow.

A Little Bit About Me...

"I believe the children are our are future Teach them well and let them lead the way Show them all the beauty they possess inside Give them a sense of pride" (Whitney Houston) I believe every child has God given strengths, that, when nurtured by the right influences can let them reach their available potential. Each person learns differently, so I approach each situation with care and concern for the individuals' learning needs. I hope to not only better the academic skills of my pupils, but also be a role model and act as a stimulus toward lifelong learning.
During my years at UC Davis I achieved a high level of excellence inside and outside the classroom, majoring in Economics with a minor in Communication as well as earning All-America Honors in Intercollegiate Golf. I began at Davis majoring in Physics, which led me to take many advanced level math and science courses ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have worked with children of all ages in different environments and capacities for the past 20 years. It all started at the YMCA Afterschool and Summer Programs which gave me my first satisfactory feeling for being around young people. That led to substitute teaching and to 6 years in the classroom with 6th graders. For 1 year I taught English as a Foreign Language in Slovenia and Germany. Finally, I yearned for more one on one experience which resulted in being a Independent Study teacher for the past 5 years. I believe my variety of experiences as an educator has prepared me well to help a wide range of students.
With my background and degree being in music, I have enjoyed finding creative ways to induce wonder and enthusiasm for learning in my students. I have always accomplished this with the utmost patience, consideration and respect. This last quality in my style (respect o ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I love to teach. I feel a tremendous amount of satisfaction when I help a student understand important concepts, build confidence, reach academic goals, and learn to enjoy the process of learning. I believe that there are three key qualities to being a great teacher. First, great teachers help make students feel comfortable and confident so that learning can take place. In short, great teachers make learning fun. Second, a great teacher is an expert in explaining complex concepts and skills in a way that students can fully understand them. Third, a great teacher is a strong motivator and encourager. I believe that I possess these three important qualities, and I use them well to help my students achieve academic success.

I come from a family of teachers and, like my parents, I enjoy helping others and reaching the end goal of aiding a student in attaining their own aspirations both long and short term. I understand the difficulties and frustrations that often accompany learning, however I believe that with the right positive reinforcements all students can overcome any hurdle and achieve academic success. In addition, these academic success are the kindling to creating a growing fire of self-motivation which can last a lifetime. I want to help all students in anyway possible to find the academic switch that inspires them to continue to learn and better themselves.
