Entrance Exams Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Merced, CA

I have had 4 years of teaching experience, of which the first years I subbed for the Turlock Unified School District in various grades. I was teaching and going to school to receive my teaching credential in math education. I can teach up to Geometry in highschool. I have passed the first two CSET tests for mathematics. I believe student engagements is the key to learning. Hence I use various EDI strategies to ensure students are engaged in learning math concepts. I believe in group work and collaborations. I believe in modeling a math concept and right away checking for understanding. I use white boards, random selection and think-pair-share to stimulate learning in my students and check for their understanding.

I have experience working with children and tutoring high school students on multiple subjects (math and science). I have also tutored in subjects such as economics and how to study effectively. I have taught subjects in small group settings as well. I hold a BS degree in chemical engineering from UC Davis. My teaching style focuses on the student and his/her struggles. I really try to make the student understand the topic at hand and how to study it effectively. Studying techniques are very important and I introduce those techniques to the student. I really guide the student step-by-step through his/her struggles and to build their confidence. I change their mentality to a positive one. I enjoy working with others and I use all the resources that I can to make the student understand the topic. I usually give extra practice problems and I really challenge the students thinking p

I am a Fresno State graduate with my BA Degree in Liberal Studies. I'm currently in the Multiple-Subject Credential Program. I have two years experience tutoring by working for the Madera Adult School CBET Program. I tutor all grades and all subjects. I also have tutored for a semester during my Junior year of high school. I am very well rounded in all subject matters like: history, math, English/langauge arts, music, drama, geography and science topics. My teaching style is very unique. I start off by just getting to know the student and having them get to know and trust me. I then build on that trust factor while helping the students with their homework. I connect well with students and they trust me. In the end, it seems to be the best way the students I work with learn and finish their work. Learning should be fun and not boring. It should be interactive and not just book work. If a

Teaching is my passion, I believe that every student has the ability to do better and every student can be taught. There is no set method to teach as every person absorbs information differently. I like to teach by providing many different methods of instruction and then observing which is the best of my students. In the mathematics and science areas there are a variety of instruction methods. For mathematics, I teach a student how to do a problem, then go over a problem together before finally allowing the student to solve one. An educator needs to adjust their teaching method with every student he/she works with and I believe that this is one skill that I am excellent at. I currently have a BS in biology with a Minor in Chemistry and 2 concentrations. Earning this degree enabled me to not only study biology, but also allowed me to study mathematics. I have taken math courses up

Throughout my life, I have always felt very strong about achieving a high level of education. As a older sibling to a child that had a learning disability, I felt it was my responsiblity to help him achieve a high school diploma. From the age of six years old to his senior year in high school, I tutored my brother in all subjects, from math and english to electives. From this experience, I was able to help other children improve their level of education as well. I enjoy teaching and helping all children. I am a strong believer that all children can be taught all subjects, and should be given the opportunity to do just that. I am always willing to teach the child, in the best way that will help them, whether this be through explanation, or through a hands on approach. Children are our future, and should be given the opportunities to learn.

I taught for twenty five years at the middle school level mostly in a self contained sixth grade classroom. In addition to teaching reading, English, math, science,and social studies, I taught electives is video filming and remedial reading. In my experience as a teacher, I discovered that all students can learn if they are properly motivated. I found that I could best motivate a student if I found what they were interested in, and what grade level they were working at. I also worked for five years as a substitute teacher. I believe in individualized teaching. In my sixth grade classroom, I individualized instruction wherever possible. In reading I tested my students and placed them in books at their reading level. I had them write reading summaries and corrected their first drafts. In sixth weeks, I retested and in most instances moved students to a higher level. In my math cla

As a recent graduate from UC Berkeley, I have always held the upmost interest and passion in helping students achieve the best they could. I received my degree in American studies, this degree is designed to allow students to create their own educational path within Berkeley's campus. I designed mine to encompass child development, education, and psychology. With that, I have been able to learn different approaches in teaching individual learning types. I worked as a recreational program instructor for 3 years. There I helped students from the grades 3-6 with their homework on a daily basis, in all subjects. My approach in teaching is unique. I have an autistic sibling and a son with an individualized education program, so my understanding of approaching children is on an individual basis. With my personal and professional experience, I have learned to be patient, understanding, friendly

I was motivated by my passion for Mathematics and excellent approach my teachers used to teach me back in the days. My understanding of Mathematics and history of the early Mathematician made me to major in Mathematics. With bachelor in Mathematics I have taught a NABTEB certificate class for year, 85% of my student that sat for the exams passed and 80% of those that pass also pass their University entrance exams and have gain admission into University. During my 4 years in my Mathematics degree I took the following courses in Chemistry, Physics, Biology, Econometric and wide range of Mathematical Sciences. I love teaching Mathematics and I am very patient with my student in the learning process. Before I start teaching my class used a motivational story about me to encourage my student and this make my student very eager to learn. This approach had work pretty well in the past and I am

I enjoying helping others and teaching them what I know, whatever age they may be. I am very patient and friendly, which are characteristics I find to be important in a tutor. Also, I can be flexible in my teaching style, since I understand that not everyone learns in the same manner. I know that subjects such as math and science can be particularly difficult to understand, but I am willing to take the extra time to ensure that the individual I’m working with is able to grasp the material. Through support and encouragement, I feel that any type of learner is able to overcome their difficulties and be successful with their education. Education is extremely important in my life and I feel that I need to share my devotion with those around me.

I stated tutoring privately and through the college when I was a student myself to see if teaching was something I wanted to do as a career. I tutored all my college years and realized that this is exactly what I want to wake up for every day. I earned my BS and single subject in Mathematics from Fresno State University. I have worked with students at all levels. I have tutored students as young as 5th graders and gone through levels of math from basic math to some graduate courses. I have been teaching for 9 years at high school up to pre-calculus. I teach because I want students to feel the same passion for math as I do and not be intimidated by it as lots of students are of mathematics. I think each student is differnt and so is their learning style. As a teacher I want my student to find their confidence in math which mostly comes when they understand the subject completely.

I believe every child is capable of matching and exceeding our highest expectations. Every child learns differently and that is my approach. I don't believe in cookie cutter education. I design programs around students interests, needs, and abilities. I believe that positive feedback and reinforcement get better results than negativity, and it is my job to help your child be successful. It is my job to help your child buy into their own education and realize how great it is to be a lifelong learner. I have been working with students since I was in Middle School myself. I went to college to become a special education teacher and am currently working as a resource specialist. I work with students who have learning disabilities, are at risk, have emotional disturbances, autism, or just need a helping hand. I have also taught in general education classrooms.

Throughout my high school career I maintained a GPA of at least 3.5. The same can be said for my college career so far. By majoring in Liberal Studies, I have gained an extensive knowledge of teaching methods as well as the ability to teach many different types of learners. I have put this knowledge and ability to use both last semester and this semester by tutoring students at Fresno State. This semester, many of my students have learning disabilities. Last semester, every student I worked with passed the class we were working on. It is my belief that teaching is an honor and a passion, not a profession. Everyone has a different learning style and teaching to an individual is very important. I also believe that teaching is as much a method of guidance as much as it is a method of instruction. Often times, students will learn on their own if you give them the opportunity for expl
