I love teaching and working with all children. I believe all children can learn and achieve excellence in whatever they put their hearts into. I can help your child achieve academic success and pursue any field he decided to attain. I am patient, easy going, and considerate.

I believe all children can meet their potential if they are given the appropriate surroundings and learning experiences. Good educators can make a world of difference in a child's education. I always strive to make a difference in touching the lives of my students to make them successful and productive. I pursued a a high level of excellence in education.

I enjoy working with students of all ages. I like to get to know the student I am tutoring and what their individual learning style is like. I adapt to how they learn best and go from there. I am patient, and willing to do what it takes to encourage learning and success. I have always been eager to learn and help others learn as well. I especially love the sciences, but have always loved and excelled in school. I have previous tutoring experience, and love when new opportunities arise. I recently obtained a BS in Biology from Simpson University. This provided me with a significant background in both the sciences and in math. I have tutored high school student math courses, history courses, and science courses.

I am a parent to a four year old and a twenty year old stepson, so my teaching and parenting is one filled with patience, toughness but fairness, and lots of humor. I believe that children should talk respectfully, grammatically correct [Student: “Can I go to the bathroom?” Myself: “Well, I don’t know. Do you know how to?’ Student: “I mean, may I go to the bathroom?” Myself: “Yes, of course you may go the bathroom”], and should treat each other with respect too. It’s not easy, and it’s more of a battle some days than others. I have students who feel that they can do whatever they want to, on their own time. I teach that with the privileges comes the work, there is no easy way around it [I work with high 6th graders and 7th graders]. I have worked for over five years with elementary and middle school-aged students; I have also worked with People with Disabilities. I love working with chil

Easy going, supportive, hard working, direct, open, and encouraging. My style is to find real world experiences to provide examples for learning. This approach stimulates students to actually enjoy chemistry instead of thinking of it as something difficult or uninteresting. I've also found that the carrot approach works much better than the stick. Everyone can make the grade or higher by being encouraged and helped. Teaching 5-10 years of college level organic chemistry, physical chemistry, inorganic chemistry, biology, biochemistry, and intro chemistry. Also, I've served as a full time lab assistant. I've had extensive experience in both designing exams, lecturing, tutoring, and providing special assistance to students. As an attorney, I have always been driven to achieve high levels of excellence in my field. Over the last 20 years I have practiced as a patent attorney in the

I believe in positive reinforcement and constructive criticism. Many of the children and adults I have worked with have found some inspiration through my way of teaching, which is a very wonderful compliment. My experience as a tutor has been fulfilling. I started as an educator for children in grades k through 12, developing and implementing education plans revolving around well-being, art and environment. From that I became a tutor in the natural sciences, as well as study and organizational skills.

I love working with children and teens. I am very sociable and students generally find me easy going and understanding. Every child has the capacity to improve and learn over time; therefore I am very patient and teach through direct practice and repetition. Given helpful techniques and proper guidance, I’ve seen children improve drastically in their schoolwork. I aim to make a difference in every student’s grade. Being a biology graduate from the UC system and a children’s counselor for the last seven years has equipped me with extensive knowledge and teaching skills. I hold a B.S. in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, which encompasses many other scientific disciplines and mathematical skills. I’ve also learned many grammar and writing techniques from frequent research reports and laboratory essays. After working with children and teens for many years, I have gained invaluable experienc

The one thing I love about tutoring is helping someone, who is struggling, succeed. I've worked with students from diverse backgrounds ranging from middle school students, college athletes and graduate students. I'm am patient and considerate. As far as my tutoring style, I like to guided my students and teach through experience. For example, having the student work through problems step by step make sure they know how to solve problems and also understand the overall concepts. In addition, I promote good study habits and show students how to prepare for exams within a particular subject. I'm very good at simplifying complex concepts. I earned my Bachelors of Science in Psychology with minors in Chemistry and Biological Science at San Jose State University. As an undergraduate, I was an honors student.

Throughout the course of my education, I have had the opportunity to work with many great instructors and professors; learning the qualities and characteristics of what comprises an effective teacher. I currently possess two degrees, a Bachelors of Arts in Social Science with an emphasis in Teaching Preparation and a Masters of Science in Environmental Management. While I consider myself highly competent and comfortable teaching anything within California’s kindergarten through twelth grade curriculum, my strengths lie within my background and education in science and mathematics. I have also garnered over two years of providing instruction in preparing for the SAT. Over my years of experience providing supplemental instruction to a diverse range of students, I have found that I possess a breadth of knowledge and interpersonal skill-sets that make me an effective teacher.

I love teaching small groups and/or individuals, children or adults. This setting allows me to pay attention and adjust my teaching style and content to the requirements of the student. I am willing to change my methods until I find the approach that works. My love and extensive working experience with math, science (chemistry in particular) and the field of biotechnology inspires my students at any age and makes a difference in the way they look and get involved with these subjects. I strive to make a difference in all of my students' lives. Even as a teenager I was very much driven to achieve a high level of excellence in education. My primary love was for mathematics and science. I have earned a BS in Chemistry and a PhD in Organic Chemistry, the later from the prestigious University of California in Santa Cruz.

When you meet me in person you will immediately feel that I am someone who relates well with children and teens. I get to know students on a personal level and find out their learning style and modes of learning. I also assess their current skill level and knowledge of the subject so that I know where from where to start. There are often "holes" of information that are missing from students that can cause increasing problems as lessons build upon knowledge previously learned. Tutoring helps to fill those holes and to help kids find success! I am exceedingly patient, flexible and am very professional. I truly care about each success and frustration in my students and I believe in kids when everyone else has given up on them. I am an educator who has experience in a variety of teaching environments with a range of student ability, needs, ages and cultures. I hold a Clear California Teach

I believe in "Assertive Discipline". This style uses lots of verbal praise, rewards and incentives. It keeps learning on a positive, moving forward track. This style of teaching is never negative. It encourages learning through engaging, age-appropriate, research-based, fun activities. It starts by assessing each child to determine the student's strengths and weaknesses. Then the appropriate materials are gathered to address each area of need. Tests, charts, diagrams, folders, manipulatives, and many other electronic learning tools are used to track progress and build confidence in each student. All children can learn if they are properly motivated, diagnosed, and given the appropriate learning materials. I have over twenty years of experience teaching reading. I completed all of the Houghton/Mifflin Language Arts training sessions that taught California teachers how to be expert Languag
