Calculus I Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Los Osos, CA

I am a green building and energy efficiency specialist with a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering from the University of California, Berkeley. Though I am a building scientist and love teaching math and the sciences, I take great pleasure and excel in creative and technical writing and have authored multiple books, essays, and scientific publications. Regardless of the subject, teaching is a personal and professional passion for me! My teaching experience includes tutoring children on multiple subjects; online university seminars; live workshops for ten to 100 people; exam prep courses; and train-the-trainer programs in India and Madagascar. I worked in or visited over twenty countries and speak fluent Hindi, French and English. Teaching is a reciprocal experience for the mentor and the mentee. I believe in fostering a learning environment for my students that is both participat

I present mathematical techniques and concepts in every day language that is easy for anyone to quickly understand. Students who find mathematics dull or disconnected from their world will have an 'aha' moment after hearing it all described using logic, vocabulary and analogies familiar to them. After earning a BS in Statistics from UCSB, I worked as a substitute teacher for a year at a private school in Santa Barbara (Santa Barbara Christian School). Motivated by that positive experience, I obtained a teaching credential in Mathematics Secondary Education from UCSB, graduating as Student Teacher of the Year. I had the opportunity to teach High School in Oxnard and Middle School at Carpinteria Middle School, after receiving my credential. For the past 15 years, I have owned a web consulting business that employs the mathematics I learned as a student.

I usually start the class with the basic introduction of the subject or course; its main objectives and what the students should expect to learn and be able to apply in actual situations after the semester. Then the lecture time follows where we explore the particular topics which have been assigned to them earlier in the week. Problem solving methodologies are then discussed to assist students in doing their own solutions to problems. Sample problems are then presented where the students are given the chance to provide solutions. Thereafter, I proceed to solve the problem in front of the class for them to copy in their notes. Topics for the next lecture series are then assigned at the end of the class period. I taught electrical engineering students who were in their higher years in their batch. Subjects taught included the following: College Physics, Differential and Integral Calculu

As a teacher I work well with my students, giving them the basic ideas that they need to learn to appreciate mathematics. As a mother of four, I provided them the idea that mathematics is really an enjoyable subject.With much patience and compassion, I was able to impart to them that learning is fun. I give them lots of examples to solve, then I explain to them the step by step computation. In the end, I would give them the short-cut method in arriving at the correct solution but always reminding them that written solutions are very important. After graduation in 1979, I decided to continue my studies and got units in MA Mathematics. Having earned 12 units, I worked as a college instructor, teaching subjects like college algebra, trigonometry, statistics and business mathematics from 1980 to 1990. When my children started growing up I tutored all my four (4) kids from their kinder le

I have always been driven to learn and pursue and education, this led me to completing my bachelor's degree in biology with a minor in history from UC- San Diego. I enjoyed tutoring math, science and english while in high school and continued in college. After graduating I volunteered in Chile teaching English which greatly improved my teaching skills and improved my Spanish Language abilities. I currently work as a substitute teacher which allows me to continue to gain teaching experience while I work towards a full credential I am very patient and outgoing with students, I try to gain a good understanding of where there are at in order to help them understand what is needed and how to achieve their goals. I strive to make a positive impact on my students lives in and out of the classroom.

Holding a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering, I tutored in a math lab during the summer of my college years and later went into the Peace Corps in Zimbabwe to teach math and science to high school level students. I have also worked as a civil engineer and have directly applied my civil engineering degree in designing grading and utility plans for commercial developments. As a female working in a male dominated field I feel strongly about supporting young girls in pursing their dreams just as equally as young boys. I like being a role model to younger generations and hope that some day there is not such an imbalance in certain areas of study such as the math and sciences. Through my different career experiences I have discovered that my heart is in working with children, and I believe that given the proper environment and support every child is capable of learning and growing.

In college, I was taught to organize topics in Math, Science and English, using outlines. This ensured that I studied all of the material presented in class. During my career, I use the same method to grasp difficult concepts. As a technical advisor, I shared my knowledge with clients, answering questions and solving problems. As a tutor, I help my students develop strong expertise. At my children's school, I have worked with kids aged 5 to 11 for several years. We work in groups, or individually. I helped my older daughter with her high school English and Math. Reading classic books is a passion of mine. I express a joy for reading to my students, and stress its importance. My teaching style is hands on. I give hints and partial answers in an effort to encourage students to think through problems and attempt to solve them. If necessary, I separate an idea into simpler terms, and h

I am a CPA licensed in Arizona and California having worked with KPMG and local CPA firms. I am also a Certified Internal Auditor. My work experience has been as the Controller in turn-around situations, manufacturing, distribution and agriculture operations as well as small family operated construction and retail companies. I tutored College Algebra and Trigonometry to students at Arizona State University and taught and coached children swimming and diving teams. I also taught “Cash Flow Management” classes for the Arizona Society of Accountants as well as many other presentations (intro to 401k, safety programs, stock options, inventory procedures, etc.) in the companies where I have worked. I am a teacher at heart and many of the students and other professionals in my classes have said that I should change professions. I approach teaching as a process of understanding wh

Conversational. From what I learned in Taiwan little kids are not for me. This is the truth. Kids at about 14 or 15 and older are much preferred. I don't think I am animated enough for younger children...well, not a GROUP of younger children anyway. When it comes to one on one though, it is much different I am sure. I like to give ideas on how to sound out words, remember grammar/math tricks and things like that. I double majored in Biology and English with a Bachelor of Science degree from a very well known, highly esteemed University in Wisconsin. I went to Taiwan for two months from March-May 2010 and helped teach in a "Bushiban" or cram school to kids aged 6-15. I am currently looking for a full-time job relating to my degree.

I tutoring when in high school. I continued to tutor while I was getting my undergrad. I tutored college students from my college and those surrounding me. I have taught at an adult school for a summer while I was getting me credential. It was very rewarding helping people receive their GED and better their lives.I also interned at a Junior High, teaching math. Once I received my credential, I worked at an independent study program for at risk students and again felt great about making a difference in these student's lives. I also got my masters in Psychology and my multiple subject credential at this time. Once I got engaged, I knew I would be moving but still wanted to teach, so currently I teach online math to 7-12 graders. My teaching style is very Socratic. I rarely give answers to students. I love to have them search and discover the answers on their own. This involves a lot of que

I ask students demonstrate the skills they already possess, working step-by-step through subject matters with the student taking the lead. I also work to build studying skills by assisting students in looking up information they do not know and methods they are struggling to apply. I strive to build a supportive environment where questions are welcome. I firmly believe that all students are capable of learning and building skills to help them succeed academically. As a young lawyer, I am proficient in all subject matters and excel in grammatical skills and language arts. I graduated cum laude from Georgetown University Law Center in Washington DC. I have taken advanced courses in legal writing and learned the import of concise, clear writing. I earned my undergraduate degree at The Ohio State University where I graduated with honors, with distinction, and magna cum laude. To obtai

As ambitious a student in the classroom as in life I have completed over 180 college credits at age 24. With a preference in sciences most of these credits were completed however my interest expands far beyond the realm into most every subject. Proof of this is shown by the length of my undergraduate work, six years with enlightening pauses in between to broaden my mind through travel. Biology is my strong suit however math such as physics, calculus and even chemistry are heavily influenced in the major. At San Diego state I have completed the majority of these subject units. This institution is considered the number one small research university with a little help from students such as myself. Teaching is one of passions as I am always interested in learning. I feel that the quality of the knowledge obtained rests without doubt in the ambitions the student possesses challenging the tea

I graduated from Cal Poly Pomona with a BS in Aerospace Engineering and a Minor in Mathematics in 2004. Before entering college I tutored High School students in both Algebra I and II and Geometry. During college I donated time in the math tutoring center helping students with a variety of math courses such as Algebra, Probability and Statistics, and Calculus I. I have worked as a Mechanical/Structural Engineer for the past 6 years utilizing my Physics and Mathematics skills daily. I am a patient, generous, and considerate person and I love watching children and adults reach their unknown potential. It gives me pride in knowing that I have played a part in helping others achieve success. I realize everyone learns differently and a part of teaching is being flexible and aware of others abilities to learn through various methods.
