As a native Chinese speaker, I enjoy teaching others Chinese because I could see people have the urge to learn the language. Many people would be surprised to know that Cantonese and Mandarin are consider as Chinese. However, they tone and the way to speak Cantonese and Mandarin are totally different. I grew up in Southern China, so I am good at speaking and writing in Cantonese and Mandarin. I have experienced on teaching young kids Chinese one-by-one. By talking and correcting the pronunciation, people learn Chinese more quickly through daily conversation. Usually, I would use English and Chinese in teaching. In addition, I can also use only Chinese in teaching if it is required. In my way of teaching, conversation is very important because people can learn faster through talking. For those who want to learn Chinese character, there will be a small booklet for them to learn how to wri

As a graduate of University of Irvine, I have learned to achieve knowledge through research and inquiry. Researching was a major part of my degree alongside to writing and analyzing. This helps me teach the students to effectively gather their information on the area of their study. Moreover, I have tutored chemistry for two semesters in Irvine through Education Outreach Program. During my credentials, I interned at two prestigious elementary schools. I learned to manage a classroom by myself and plan for different subjects such as math, language arts, social study, science and art. I have tutored in Arabic as it being my native language. Growing up as a student I noticed that most of the teachers in the classroom pay attention to only a fraction of students. This bothered me. One of the main reasons why I decided to become a teacher is to give each student the attention he or she needs

Recently I was asked to give a Guest Lecture on Neuroanatomy at Everest College. I wanted to take students on a ride through the nervous system, into subcortical structures, down the spinal cord to synapse onto muscles and organs. I had to cover everything I learned in the past year, in four hours. I was able to compile a set of animations, which played in tandem with my lecture. Rather than simply name structures, I discussed symptoms that would manifest given a lesion to that area, resulting in effortless comprehension by the students. The idea was simple: present the marvels of anatomy in a way that the digital age can embrace—a philosophy, which I will bring into your institution if granted the opportunity. As a Pre-medical student, studying Neuroscience, I aspire to one day become a neurosurgeon. In my quest, I’ve decided first—to become a surgical technologist. I’ve served as an ST

I started tutoring in the Mid 1970's, tutoring Chemistry to CSULA Nursing students. Then I realized i could also tutor Math, since I took many Math classes in my Chemistry and Computer Science curricula. I have encountered a diverse range of students allowing me to hone my craft. The interesting part was that I was forced to be creative, since not everyone can learn from the same analogies and techniques. So, over the years I have developed many different approaches to teaching and also much patience. I find a method that works for the student, and then make sure quickly the student can actually do the problems. I break down Algebra into visual patterns, and analogous concepts.

I teach because I love to help people learn. Most students are children, and teaching children of allages is a blast. All kids are different, and you really have to know what makes them tick. I'm very good at seeing what works for kids and what doesn't. I'm very patient, and I believe in making sure students understand why things are the way they are in music. It's very frustrating playing things, but not knowing why or how it all works. I keep teaching fun, and I approach every student as a new journey..I'm just a really experienced tour guide. Kids will learn to play what they want to play as well as what they need to know how to play. I'm a professional musician and teacher, and I've got a lot of real world experience both as a player and teacher. I studied classical guitar, but I play all styles. Studying classical guitar gave me a huge repertoire of not only music but gene
