One Concept At A Time

My approach relies on developing the ability of the student to "store" the fundamentals of the subject (without projecting much of my own style of problem solving techniques). In other words, I equip my students with the tools, while at the same time help them discover their ability to be creative and efficient in using these tools. Having been trained in a French system during high school years, I know very well how to deter the fear from seemingly complex subjects, or seemingly too much information.
During my training at Union University, I was hired in the Hundley Center as a Tutor in Math, Physics, and Engineering subjects. Through tout my experience in tutoring inside and outside Union (private home tutoring) I was successful in bringing my students grades from C to A in just few sessions. I enjoyed assisting others in better understanding scientific subjects. Almost all my st ... read more

My teaching style involves a positive approach. I believe students learn best in an environment that is both positive and challenging. Positive feedback is essential because students are encouraged to take risks and solve problems. A challenging classroom teaches critical thinking skills that are necessary for the global market.
I tutored philosophy students for a year while in college. I earned a master's degree in early childhood education and taught second grade for two years. I also was a substitute teacher for grades K-8th. Currently, I am a motivational speaker and a mentor through United We Mentor.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have earned a bachelors degree in Psychology, passed the CBEST, and have about four years of work experience as a tutor. I tutored students, ranging from grades K-12, in various subjects, but mainly in Mathematics and Language Arts/Reading. Also, in a previous position, I managed after-school tutoring programs for both elementary and junior high schools at the school site, in-home, and public location/library.
Education is extremely important to me. As an educator, I think it is important to not only share one's knowledge, but to be able to adapt one's teaching style for each student. Through my experience, I know it is important to have patience and be open-minded with my students. I enjoy tutoring and being a positive role model to all my students.

I use a white board when teach people because I find people get less stressed out when working with a problem if there is less scribbles on the paper. I also have a strong belief that it only takes one good example to understand the problem so I give the people I tutor one really good generic example of the topic and tell them to copy it down and refer to that example often and I find that it helps a lot.
I have a variety of degrees and specialties but math is my strong suite. I have tutored friends with great results. I have helped people in math classes ranging from simple math to statistics and even college level math. I love math and English and I also love working with people of all ages and teaching them to love math as well. I feel that teachers make things more complicated than they need to be and I am great at simplifying explanations for people.

More About This Tutor...

I recently graduated from U.C. Berkeley, where I earned a BA in Philosophy with a minor in English literature. For three years I worked as a freelance tutor. I honed my skills tutoring essay writing, English, U.S. History, basic economics, and Algebra 1 and 2.  I have also tutored for several AP courses, all of which I personally received a score of '5': AP English,  AP Art History, AP European History, and AP U.S. History. I also have experience tutoring for the SAT, especially in the verbal portion of the exam. For two years I worked as an editor of a noted journal of philosophy, which taught me to constructively criticize essays and gave me a mastery over English grammar. Currently, I tutor young learners in Echo Park.
I enjoy working with all kinds of students, and especially with high schoolers gearing up to go to college. I am punctual, patient, and extremely clear in my comm ... read more

I have a very structured classroom, yet I believe in 'teachable moments'. I work with the children 'where they are', and make progress accordingly. I believe in positive reinforcement, and I am very sincere with compliments. I've had much experience teaching any subject to any age K-12. I consider each pupil an individual, and provide one on one instruction to each and every student. I believe in contact with parents on a regular basis. It is my firm commitment to make students lifelong achievers.

I am a very patient person, very compassionate, and have a very strong sense ... read more

My teaching style is mainly to induce the student to participate discovering the solutions and "learn by doing", so the student can grab the concepts, apply it and test it. The emphasis will depend on the level of knowledge that the student have.
Accounting and business. I have worked as a tutor for Tutors of America, and as an Accounting Instructor for College of Business and Technology (Miami, Fl). With Tutors of America I tutored Math, Microeconomics, Statistics, Spanish, Algebra, and Accounting.

Currently, I own my own Health Insurance Agency in Tehachapi. I am an Administrative/Management Professional with 20 years experience. I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Health Care Administration with a GPA of 3.46. My 11-year old daughter is a straight A student because I worked with her at an early age with studies that were at least 1 - 2 years beyond her current year. I knew she had the intellectual capacity to learn these, and it has paid off for her every year of school. I was a Health Aide (Teacher's Aide) at Tehachapi Unified School District for 2 years, specializing with Resource / Special Education children (Pre-K to 6 Grade). I have learned valuable experience working with credentialed teachers. I have volunteered in my child's classroom from K-6th grade as well.
I assess what their difficulty is. I may back track and ensure they understand the basic foundation of the ... read more
