I graduated Summa Cum Laude from Point Loma Nazarene University. I then worked for a year in a non-profit organization as a software engineer, and I am currently tutoring and working free-lance web development jobs as I work on my masters degree. I've got tons of experience with Jr high and High school students in after-school type programs. I've tutored throughout my studies to both highschool and college students. I'd be glad to answer any questions you may have and use my knowledge and gifts to enable your student's success.

I am a graduate student in materials science at UC San Diego, and a recent graduate of the California Institute of Technology with a BS in Mechanical Engineering. I have a broad and thorough understanding of math and physics, and to a lesser degree in chemistry and biology, as well as in more specialized subjects. I also have good writing skills gained from writing research and review papers and papers for graduate-level history classes. I am very familiar with the SAT and GRE tests and have two years' experience tutoring students in remedial classes at the high school and elementary school level. My goal in teaching is to ensure that my students have a strong understanding of the subject and do not just follow a formula or recite rote knowledge. In addition to explaining concepts, I like to use models and present example problems with which the student can demonstrate his grasp of the

Although my vocation for the past 38 years has been Software Engineering, my avocation has always been teaching. I financed my undergraduate education by tutoring one-on-one at the high school level for 3 years. During my career as a Software Engineer I sought out opportunities to teach part-time, evenings and weekends. I have the equivalent of about 7 years of full-time experience teaching High School, Community College and College level math, science and economics courses at a variety of institutions including National University and Seton Hall University. I also have significant experience mentoring as well as presenting tutorials at professional conferences. I have always tried to adjust my teaching style to the students with whom I am working while at the same time adhering to the curricula and guidelines of the institution for which I worked. I have successfully worked with student

My teaching style is one of patience and encouragement. There is nothing better than when that light goes off in a child once he or she finally understands how to do a problem. Children learn in different ways and finding the best way for each child is the job of a great teacher. And, I know that everyone does better with the one-to-one contact that a tutor can provide. At 14, when I taught my first group of beginning swimmers, everyone knew that teaching was in my blood. Since then I have taught and coached many sports. While working on my MS in Computer Science, I began teaching Math and Computer Science classes, first to college students and eventually to all ages. Currently as a Visiting Teacher for San Diego City Schools, I have had several long-term assignments teaching Math to all levels of students up to and including Pre-Calculus. I have also run several successful worksh

I really enjoy working with students and I feel that education is the most important aspect of an individuals life. I have taught at John W. North High School in Riverside, Ca. One of my assignments was to fill in for an AP Statistics teacher while she was on maternity leave. Since that day I have feel in love with biostatistics and took all of my graduate level electives in Biostatistics courses. I enjoy both the one on one mentoring and also engaging students in small groups and as an entire classroom. The one on one mentoring gives me a feel for the best way for that particular student to learn, therefore I can adjust my teaching style to their strengths.

I love teaching children. I have a very systematic approach to teaching ensuring that children understand the fundamentals and show their work validating their solutions. I believe that children learn best from a patient and caring instructor. As a college graduate, I was very much driven to achieve a high level of excellence in education. I have earned a bachelor degree, BS in Computer Science & Engineering, which has enabled me to gain an understanding in many areas of math and science. I have earned a master degree, MS in Computer Information Systems, which has enabled me to gain an understanding in many areas of presentation of material learned. In addition, I have learned extensive grammatical skills due to writing research papers and laboratory reports, along with essays in many various areas of study. During the last 12 years I have tutored my children in English, spanish, m

Technically, I have been involved in education in some capacity all of my life. Professionally, I have been a public school classroom instructor, a college adjunct professor, an instructional designer/developer for corporate paper-based and computer-based tutorials, and a contract tutor. Although my primary professional focus since beginning work on my Master’s degree has been custom software development, many of the activities in that profession have continued to be related to education. I have designed, organized, and/or conducted numerous training activities for my direct reports and for specific interest groups, and have developed and organized individual, team-wide, department-wide, and company-wide training activities. All of us are in a continuous learning mode, even if we are not in a formal learning environment. I like to emphasize that fact to students, and my approach to ins

I have extensive teaching experience at all levels from my years spent in Germany. I taught at the level of technical colleges (Technische Hochschule Bremen) high school and grade school (Schulzentrum Obervieland). I have exzperience in teaching both a specialized form of language instruction (English for electrical engineers) and general languages. I have found teaching beginners to be extremely rewarding because there is no basis to build on. Everything they can write or say was taught to them by me, and it is extremely gratifying if they feel challenged and motivated to continue to learn the subject I taught them in. As far as teaching languages goes, I believe in immediately beginning in the language and doing all instruction in that language. Translation should be minimized at the start, although it will have its place much later at an advanced stage. The challenge of making this ap

Persistent and patience with the student, foundation first for the material. . Especially with math, higher concepts won't be "grasped" unless the lower ones are mastered. Also, I find that doing any math at all for most people improves grasps on new concepts, so I'm never afraid to take a step backward if it means 2 or 3 steps forward. I also teach and encourage liberal use of Logic in problem solving. All of math is simply problem solving, and teaching good thought processes through meta-cognition and careful phrasing goes a long way. I believe that everyone can do math, and concentrating on how the mind can logically arrive at mathematical conclusions makes math a discovery rather than an exercise in learning a foreign language. At UCR, I was a "drop-in" tutor. This means that for hours of the day in a room with 6 chalkboards, I would teach math to any UCR student who wanted to learn

I have been a straight-A student my entire life and I recently graduated from the University of New Hampshire with a 4.0 GPA. I earned my B.S. in Physics (Astronomy emphasis) with a minor in Applied Mathematics. Though my expertise lies in mathematics and the sciences, I am also knowledgeable in topics ranging from history to English grammar and composition. Much of my academic success is due to my ability to prepare for exams. I scored a 32 on the ACT, as well as perfect scores of 800 on the SAT2 Writing and GRE Mathematics exams. I gained teaching-related experience during my year as an Instructional Assistant, in which I assisted students with math, science, English, and GED exam preparation. At the college level, I spent 2.5 years tutoring in physics, math, and astronomy, as well as a semester in a college-level general physics class working as a teaching assistant. My 5 years as a U

I love teaching, my grandmother and my mother and uncles teach, I believe the children are exceptional thinking machines and the power of information delivered to them is a magnificent tool for their future. With the right attitude, patience, and most of all the right information delivered they can overcome many of the obstacles in their life. I like the interaction with children as they will always with their innocence make you see what as adults sometimes we forget; children can be so bright that the simplest thing for them can be the hardest for us as adults. I really strive to make a difference and having a teaching background in the family I believe strongly helps. Direct a wide array of financial and operational functions for clients.

I try to build on the student's current knowledge base. In teaching a topic I check for understanding at each step in the instruction and provide remedial help as necessary before proceeding to the next step. I try to address individual differences in students' backgrounds and learning modalities. I am patient with students when they encounter difficulties and will repeat the instruction using a slightly different approach. I incorporate praise and recognition of progress in my instruction to provide encouragement and build self esteem. I attempt to use problem examples of interest to students to motivate learning. My most recent experience has been as an adjunct mathematics instructor at Southwestern College. I have also taught GED Mathematics classes for San Diego Community College District Continuing Education department. In addition, I have taught mathematics and science courses a
