"There are obviously two educations. One should teach us how to make a living and the other how to live." – James Truslow Adams It’s my belief that when practicality and education are powered by drive and determination, the ultimate goal which is success, is achievable and that’s what it is to truly live. I always encourage students to work hard to achieve their goals and to take advantage of the precious moments of their education. I stress to them that money should not be a motivator, but instead it should be a bonus for finding success in one’s vocation. I believe, like Adams did, that the two educations compliment each other and provide balance in one’s life. My previous employment as a Tutor, Teaching Assistant, Assistant Faculty, and Academic Support Coordinator has prepared me for working with challenged learners. I have strong grammatical skills and an extensive background

Very communicative. I first build a basic rapport with the student, seeing what methods of teaching could work well for each individual student. Some students need slower, more exhaustive coverage of the material, while other students understand the main concepts and just have specific questions that I can help them with. With all students I tutor, I strive to create a friendly but professional relationship so that students can feel comfortable with any questions they may have. Private tutoring with local students, professional tutoring with the San Dieguito Union High School district for two years. I helped middle through high school students work through subject areas they found difficult, as well as focusing extra attention on special needs students. Subject areas include Algebra, Geometry, Precalculus, Calculus, Statistics, History, and English.

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 topic. If one explanation does not make sense to a student, I try different ones until it finally "clicks". I am a patient instructor and bring an enthusiastic attitude to teaching, since I've found through experience that the best teachers are those who communicate excitement and interest. 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 subje

As a law school graduate and a holder of an advanced law degree, I understand and readily emphasize the importance of education. I have my BA in Political Science, a J.D. and an LL.M. in Taxation. Earning these degrees has allowed me to become a well rounded writer and effective communicator. While pursuing my undergraduate degree I tutored math up to the level of college algebra. I know personally that everyone learns differently, and teaching geared toward a specific learning style can open up vast potential in any student. I am patient and kind. My goal is to teach your child in the most effective manner and put forth my best effort to allow him/her to master the subject. Sometimes all it takes is a little different approach, a helpful teacher and some encouraging words to unlock a child’s full potential.
