Algebra I is one of my top subjects! I tutored several students at Shasta College in Algebra I.

In 2003 during my final semester at California State University Northridge, I tutored all geography students in all different areas of the subject of geography for the university geography department. During 2003 to 2004 I tutored all students in Pre-Algebra, Algebra I and English for Shasta College.
Patient Able to see how students get their answers and tailor my instruction to ways they would understand

A Little Bit About Me...

I starting tutoring in high school. I tutored in students in math. In college, I continued to tutor through an organization. I tutored groups of students at their homes. I became an elementary school teacher. I was a substitute teacher. During this time, I taught multiple grades and multiple subjects ranging from Kindergarten to 8th grade. I was an elementary/middle school teacher from 2009-2015 I taught 8th grade algebra for the last four years at a public school in southern California.
Hands-on, collaborative, group, direct instruction

More About This Tutor...

In 2009, I was a professional tutor(as opposed to a peer-tutor) for the Biology Department of Ulster County Community College, NY, for students struggling with: Bio 100 for non-science majors, Bio 101—an intro course for those planning to continue but lacking a strong background, Bio 105—General Bio required by all biology-related programs, and Bio 109—Human Bio for non-science majors. I noted that if students needed Biology assistance, they often needed Chemistry assistance also, so the basics of that had to be included in order for topics like macromolecules and cellular respiration to make any true sense at all. I have substitute taught for the past four years, and conducted two graduate field studies.
I strive to make connections to real life by using real specimens when possible, familiar situations, manipulatives, current events, and such to facilitate comprehension. ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I studied Math because I love the subject. I have received a BA and am pursuing my Masters. During the last ten years I have taught math classes to middle school students as well as college students. I have also work as a private tutor throughout this time as well. I can tutor all levels of math up to undergraduate college courses.
I like teaching and tutoring math. The subject is more accessible than most students believe, and helping someone break through that barrier is very satisfying. I believe that practice and consistent work is the way to learn this subject, and I consistently encourage my students to take this to heart. Learn the basics well and apply that understanding to more advanced ideas. I don't like moving on when present topics are still only partially understood. I am patient, and thorough.

A Little Bit About Me...

During High School I taught at a science camp for 3 years. After college I went and lived in China and taught university level ESL for 3 years. I have worked for a few local tutoring organizations in the last 2 years as well as doing private tutoring. I have worked with ages 8-24 for tutoring and teaching and I have taught/tutored English, Math, Science, and history up through the 8th grade level.
I think that it is important to make sure that the student understands the concepts being learned in each subject rather than learning how to do one particular problem. Too often students forget the basics that they learned before because they thought that they were finished only to find that it comes up again in a more advanced subject. My goal is to get students to understand and apply the concepts to different situations other than the ones that are directly in front of them at t ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe that being an effective tutor involves tailoring my style to the way the student learns. That is why I pay close attention to what seems effective for each student. I begin by allowing them to ask questions, then answer the questions as directly as possible, and from there I adapt to what seems to work for each student.
I have a degree in chemistry that included many hours of work in a lab setting, and I also worked for 10 years as a chemist in various types of labs. This experience has given me a solid understanding of chemistry. Through my education and work experience, I have learned how to think through and solve chemistry problems. It has become a part of me, and something I understand very well. I helped to tutor high school students and junior college students in general chemistry, and through this experience, I learned how teach chemistry to students that are stru ... read more

When working with children, I try my best to be engaging, interactive, and fun. If necessary, I'll use props (e.g. building blocks) to help illustrate concepts, and I always try to ask many questions along the way to make sure my explanations are clear. With older students I will use a slightly more textbook approach, but keeping lessons interactive still remains essential, and props may still be useful in some circumstances. In both situations, I try to find which learning styles work best for the student and present lessons based on those. Each person has a unique way of learning, and if a teacher takes the time to understand it, then the student's true potential can be reached.
