I'll Teach your Student to Teach Him or Herself

I hate lecturing! I do! This is why my tutoring style is very interactive. I don't like talking AT a person, I prefer to have a conversation. My goal as a tutor is to make subjects interesting, and also to make sure they stick- so you can do well on exams. I also teach study skills in every session, so ideally you won't have to rely on me forever. I try to give students tools that they can use to teach them how to teach themselves- something they'll have to do if they're considering college.
I have worked as a tutor for 10 years in all subjects, especially focusing on ESL learners. Recently, I have worked in an ESL school (FLS International) with university age students seeking to matriculate into American Universities. Before that, I worked in South Korea teaching English. While employed at these schools, I also work part-time as a tutor- mostly for middle and high school ... read more

It's harder than it looks.

I have 5 years experience teaching elementary and middle school students with 1 year of teaching a special needs student with Autism. Additionally, I have been a university tutor in Chemistry, Physics, and Mathematics employed by UC Santa Cruz for the last two years where I tutored and led large group sessions targeted toward understanding the material, key study skills, and development of study groups.

I graduated from the University of Maine with a BS in Business Administration with a concentration in Accounting. While pursuing my degree, I took a position as a tutor helping my fellow students with accounting and math. After my first year as a tutor, I increased my responsibilities by assisting other tutors with their techniques and skills in addition to guiding my own tutoring sessions. After graduation, I have worked with financial accounting, fund accounting, and the banking industry.
As a tutor in college, our philosophy was to show the students how to learn the subject matter by incorporating memorization games and problem solving techniques for the classes that they were having difficulty with. I believe that communication is key to the student’s success. I would discuss with the student what they are having difficulty with and then develop tutoring sessions around th ... read more

My teaching style tends to be structured in the beginning as I get to know each students strengths and weaknesses and then adapts to each persons needs. I believe that everyone has their own learning style and try to present the material in a manner that encompasses auditory instruction, visual aids, as well as, hands on experience. The benefit of science as a subject matter is that what we know science has been found through hands on experiments. By allowing people to do experiments they will not only remember the material better and have a sense of accomplishment but they will also become scientists without realizing it.
Through my education I have learned the importance of inspiring others to take an interest in science. My time at these universities has also enabled me to not only learn the material taught in them but also how to apply that knowledge to situations that were ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Teaching can be a most wonderful adventure. I believe every child can learn. At times students or overwhelming with new concepts, and they need to be encouraged, and praise until they can accomplish the task at hand. I enjoy seeing the appearence of awareness on a childs face, when they have accomplished a goal, or solved a problem they had difficulty solving. I believe tutoring a child can be a powerful tool, and it can also unleash a potential genius.
As a graduate, I've been very blessed to have received a degree in Business Communication. In college I learned how to become a better educator, and communicate with them on the highest level. Although, I tutor in all of the academic areas, I also enjoy helping my student appreciate the art of becoming a good writer, and thinkers. My students are also encouraged to read for relaxation, and entertainment. Making the education process ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I tutored at the Hartnell College Math Lab in topics ranging from Pre-Algebra to Calculus. I also tutored/mentored recent high school graduates and motivated them to pursue careers in math and science. I tutored Algebra at Sweetwater Union High School District as part of the Gear Up program at San Diego State. I taught Geometry and Pre-Calculus at San Diego State and prepared students for Pre-Calculus as part of the Math Academy at Hartnell College.
I have always had a natural curiosity for learning Mathematics and a desire to teach others. I remember being a student in Elementary School struggling to understand a particular concept and then imagining myself explaining this concept to others once I achieved understanding. Mathematics has always been challenging for me but noticed that as long as I was persistent I always acquired knowledge of the material. I was exposed to many dif ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

In my opinion there’s never a dull moment when it comes to science and math. I am severely enthused when it comes to particular subjects that I love. And I am well open to share it with people that are interested. Even though you find yourself disliking the subject because it is “hard” or for whatever reason, I can make the subject engaging. I like to engage the students into the subject by not just helping them by memorizing protocols, but enabling them to understand the situation. I teach with very precise details, have them think for themselves to make the connecting gap in what they are learning. Therefore, by doing so, it doesn’t become dull but exciting.
Throughout my undergraduate studies I have tutored both science and math profusely. My specialties are chemistry (college or intro chemistry), organic chemistry, intro to physics and biochemistry. Because I know biochemistry ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I enjoy teaching grades 7 thru college level. I am patient, communicate well and eager to make learning fun. I feel that most people love to learn they just have to find a reason to find it interesting and applicable to the world around them. I try to introduce concepts as they apply to real world circumstances.
I received a Bachelors of Science in Materials Engineering from San Jose State University and have had over 5 years of engineering experience. I have an educational background in physics, math, chemistry, engineering and biology. During my educational and professional experience I’ve had involvement in various facets of semiconductor, polymer and metallurgical processing as well as electronic/mechanical product design and fabrication.

My goal as a tutor is to build the confidence of my students. I teach by extracting the information that they already know and offering supplemental information when necessary. I try to make math safe, fun, and interesting for each student I work with.

I love helping others understand mathematics. I believe everyone is able to learn Math, but just like we all think differently, we all learn differently. That is why with the experience I have; I know how to deal with different types of learning styles. I am patient, considerate, and easy going. My goal is to provide an understanding over the material in a way that the student themselves begins to understand the process taken to solve each problem. I believe all children can meet their potential if they are given the appropriate surroundings and learning experiences.
As a UC graduate, I was very much driven to achieve a high level of excellence in education. I have earned a bachelor degree in Math with a concentration in education, which has enabled me to gain a greater understanding of Math in many different ways. In addition, I have the 4 year experience of successfully tutoring ... read more
