I have been successfully tutoring for over 10 years. I have helped students transform their grades from F's to A's. It has been a very rewarding experience, since my students get to understand the subject a lot better as well as improve their grades. I love working with students of all ages and teaching the many subjects I know. My specialties are math, science, and standardized testing. I am very patient and friendly. I am also able to explain an idea in many different ways. Many students tell me that I can explain concepts better than their teachers. Please check out my many positive reviews at https://www.wyzant.com/Tutors/Richard. I graduated with honors at UCLA with a BS in Chemical Engineering. I can definitely tailor the tutoring session to your specific needs. Please check out the extensive list of the subjects that I am certified to tutor. My ultimate goal is to provide a

I am patient yet firm. I expect students to be accountable for their own success; I want my students to become self-sufficient. With proper guidance and encouragement most students will succeed if not excel. I taught high school English for three years. My students ranged from far below basic to advanced. My students consistently showed improvement in their standardized test scores and over 95% of my students passed the course. Also, Over 95% of my sophomore passed the CAHSEE. In addition to my high school experience, I have been tutoring adult learners for the past three years, becoming the program manager two years ago. In this roll, I administer assessments from which individual learning plans are developed for each student. I also recruit and train volunteer tutors to work with our students.

I use the Active Participation strategy because it engages the learner not only in understanding but in contributing as well. This active learning process combined with introduction of practical uses/examples of the the subject matter provides a deeper meaning. But most of all the Objective,Purpose,and what their interests are, must be known so that these can be incorporated in the learning process. I have been a substitute teacher for about 10 years specializing in math & physics. I have a BS in Mechanical Engineering plus 20+ years of maintenance/engineering experience. I incorporate practical examples in teaching to give students in depth knowledge in a practical sense. I gather my examples from my varied career experiences from the Military, Aircraft, Engineering, Manufacturing/Maintenance & Computer fields. I sporadically tutors students in my specialty.

I like teaching. I like teaching individuals. I enjoy the challenge of adapting my style and my information to the unique set of skills and experiences that each individual brings along with them. No two people are alike. So I try not to teach each student as if she is just like the last guy. What is called the "Affective Filter" is what I deal with most: that is the part of each student that is unwilling to try. Many people are uncomfortable with anything having to do with Math, for instance. So, I try to make the session as comfortable as possible. I guess you could say that I try to figure out what your comfort zone is, and what your goals are, and then push you just a little bit out of one and towards the other. I left the business world in 1999 to make good on my goal of completing my degree and teaching. I wanted the strongest foundation possible, so I chose General Studies, someti

My passion is helping students achieve their highest individual potential in school. I believe if every student were given and Individualized Education Program, our students would accomplish much more in school. I believe when learning is fun, students accomplish more. I spend a little more time on the front end finding out what a student enjoys outside of the classroom to make learning relevant and FUN! I believe every student can learn and every student deserves a chance. As an entrepreneur and lover of the arts, I am passionate about helping students learn using their natural gifts and talents. My background in Special Education has equipped me to work with every student to find and utilize their own individual strengths. Combining my training in Psychology and Special Education, I equip students with the self-efficacy skills needed to be successful both in and out of the classroom. I

Individualizing English grammar, composition, and lit. instruction became a teaching strength during 12 years in secondary schools. Skills for ELLs were honed by nine years at a Japanese university. I tutored adults in my “Have English-Will Travel” company serving personal/business needs of Silicon Valley firms’ foreign nationals. Effectiveness with L1 and L2 speakers is augmented by detailed assessment and diagnosis of skills, with personalized remediation for desired proficiencies. Living in three cultures and specializing in Intercultural Communication enables connection with a variety of students. Publications reflect funded investigation of language minority students’ academic progress and well-being in Japanese public schools. I love learning, and try to impart its joy to all I encounter. Much of that joy is realized by my students in developing and mastering needed and wanted skil

In 1995, I began my official tutoring odyssey by assisting my classmates in AP Calculus. Every day during lunch I spent my half-hour helping my fellow high school seniors succeed, ultimately achieving a 4/5 on the AP exam and guiding others to similar grades. Since those days I have tutored in-home and taught mathematics at the private secondary school level, fostering student knowledge of various concepts from arithmetic to calculus. My degree, my passion, is mathematics. My students often say I can’t be a teacher because they “just get it" when I explain. Even so, my degree is in math and I've taught professionally and privately. I have a history of maintaining high scores and would rather show why something works than how to follow steps. I don't expect students to love math or do it "my way" but I want students to know math isn't scary. To this end, I explain every step, do assessmen

I am a patient and encouraging tutor. I observe my students' responses and then provide examples and exercises that will enable them to comprehend the concepts. I prefer, when possible, to explain the "big picture"-in order to activate memory and cognitive abilities that will place concepts and skills in a mental framework. I like to provide visual data in order to help solidify abstract concepts. For example, using a graphing calculator to demonstrate the roots of a quadratic equation. I receive a powerful sense of achievement when I enable students in their comprehension of mathematical and scientific concepts. I received a PhD in psychology in 1974 from Claremont Graduate School. I taught 8 semesters at Ventura Community College and I have two community college credentials(psychology and special education). I am a licensed psychologist and I perform psychological assessments for the D

I have earned one bachelor degree with a major in history and a minor in computer applications. I have work experience as both a tutor and a teacher. I was a tutor in the America Reads program while I was a junior in college. I worked in the classroom and tutored children one-on-one on an as needed basis. During my senior year of college I worked for AmeriCorps Jumpstart, where I learned many different and better ways of interacting with children. I worked in the classroom as well as one on one with a student throughout the year. After college, I went to Korea to teach for a year. There I taught grades K-8 English. My teaching style as a tutor is to help them to fully understand the concepts that are presented to them. After helping them with a number of problems, they should be able to do the rest on their own. I hope that by slowly guiding them, asking pertinent questions, and offering

I taught as a substitute teacher in New Jersey for 3 years before moving to California. I have a multiple subjects credential from New Jersey. I taught at all grade levels and all subjects including high school students. I have been a substitute teacher in California for the past 8 years. I have multiple subjects credential in California. I taught all grade levels and all subjects. I am patient with students and encourage them to learn at their own pace. Students learn at a different rates and have different comprehension abilities. Some are able to absorb a material faster than others. But they will all learn the subject matter if given the chance and encouragement and by introducing the subject/explaining it in different ways with patience and concern.
