More About This Tutor...

Graduated with honors from Modesto Junior College with an Associates in Music. Four semesters of Piano at the college, five semesters of Voice, four semesters of Music Theory and ear training, four semesters of choir, and two semesters of Electronic Music. As a student I have a firm grasp on music fundamentals and the basics of music theory as well as some voice and piano pedagogy. Aside from my experience within the field of my degree, I've always received very high grades in math and english classes. English and composition (essays, poetry, etc) are my true strengths; however, math also comes very easily to me. I have tutored in both math and english before and have some experience teaching music. I also work as a gymnastics coach and have three years of experience in teaching my own classes.
I feel like I'm very much a hands-on type of instructor. I really believe that the best ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As an Application Engineer for a research company, it was my resposaability to train, instruct and give seminars on the material currently in vogue in Semiconductor, Biology, Physics, and Geology in materials to be analyzed. These seminars were meant to instruct and inform researchers of the techniques available. Most seminars were at colleges and universities in the U.S. and overseas. I began to wind down my travels and explored the potential of teaching locally. For the past three years I have been a substitute teacher in Tuolumne County district as well as 4 seminars every year.
I had no intention of teaching when I started my career in Psychology and the Analytical Chemistry industry. I continuously tried to improve my methadology to arrive at the right mix of stimulation and information to make the learning process as interesting as possible.

In a one-on-one situation, I prefer dialogue. Assuming the student does the assigned work before the session, I find that a informal, relaxed conversation on the subject matter at hand encourages the student to further explore the addressed topic. If I am familiar with the student's extra-curricular interests, I attempt to relate the subject matter to such interests. I find that questioning the student in a conversational manner produces the best results, as opposed to the more stringent (i.e. boring) task of fill-in-the-blank worksheets. For writing assignments, I ask the student to write a paragraph which we then go over line-by-line so the student has immediate feedback on any errors.
Having homeschooled my children (eldest is attending a top 20 public university)and volunteering extensively in the school community, I have become familiar with a wide variety of learning styl ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I started college as a math major with a concentration in finite math. My goal was to work for a company using both my mathematics and computer programming skills. In my junior year of college, I realized that ever since high school I had enjoyed helping my friends with their math as much as I enjoyed taking math classes. I switched to the teaching option at that time. Although I have taught almost every level of math from junior high to high school, I have focused on algebra and geometry for the past 20 years. I currently teach remedial algebra, geometry, and advanced geometry.
I have been fortunate to teach students at both ends of the learning spectrum. Four years ago, I decided to teach the remedial algebra courses at our high school. In doing so, I have built my repertoire of strategies to teach algebra concepts. I feel that my passion for the study of geometry combine ... read more

People are always surprised when they find out I'm a math nerd. I'm outgoing, I like to joke and I play sports. But believe it or not, I actually do enjoy math and this is one of the biggest reasons for my success as a tutor/teacher. I don't fake my enthusiasm and this helps engage students. I like to think of myself as fun and I like to make a joke here and there. I believe that a lot of times, less is more when it comes to teaching math. I try to do as little leading as possible when helping students solve problems so that they will be best equipped in the future to solve on their own. I have always enjoyed teaching and I love sharing success with others.

At a very young age I decided to be a veterinarian. While I have not yet completed this goal I have stayed true and remained in the biological science field. I received my BS in Animal & Veterinary Sciences this past May and have taken many classes in the Biological Sciences ranging from Basic Biology to Plant Science, Soils, and very in depth classes on Animal Biology including the subjects of reproduction, digestion and nutrition. I have taken courses in both Human and Animal anatomy and physiology as well. I do not have an extensive background in tutoring, but I have tutored students in Math, basic anatomy, and several students in my Animal Science classes. I have also taught softball pitching lessons for approximately ten years.

I am an empathetic listener with a penchant for learning. A successful tutor needs to be an effective listener, one who is capable of figuring out the solution from the student's perspective, using terms and words that the student can relate to, making deceptively difficult concepts not so difficult to understand. A lot of times, all the student needs is a little help defining and assimilating new information presented to him, and I see myself as a facilitator of that process. I am creative and flexible, patient and persistent, sometimes a borderline perfectionist, and I never tire of the many "eureka!" moments experienced by my peers and students with whom I have had the opportunity to work.

I am a very empathetic teacher who gears my teaching based on the learner's needs. Each learner has a unique style of learning, and it is important for me as a tutor to cater to the learner's strengths. For example, if a learner is visual, I will use diagrams and flow charts to help teach the information. No matter what, I will find a way to cater to a learner's strengths to help him or her learn the material.
I went to UC Merced with the goal of pursuing an undergraduate degree in Biological Sciences, in order to prepare me for admission to a PharmD program. From my studies at UC Merced, I earned a 3.78 GPA, and gained admission to multiple PharmD programs in California. While my formal tutoring experience is limited, I have had various experience tutoring friends and leading study groups in subjects such as Biology, Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, and English.

I understand how important it is have a good teacher when it comes to biology and the sciences. It takes time, patience, and deep understanding of the material to effectively learn it. On my way to earning my Bachelor’s degree and now working on my Masters, I have developed techniques that have worked for me and other students that I have taught in the last few years. Biology isn’t easy, but it is my job to make it easy to learn. It is all about effectively using the time you have to learn the material. Any child can learn anything if he is taught the material the proper way. I believe education is the most important thing for a child. I want to help them strive in school, because it will ultimately be better for them in their lives.

A Little Bit About Me...

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.
