A PhD with several years of teaching experience

I am an Instructor at UCLA Extension with enormous experience in teaching Maths and Science. I scored 95% in my high school Maths and 100% in Algebra. I have several years of experience in tutoring middle and high school Math. My specialty is in teaching SAT, GRE and MCAT students. I also tutor in Biology, Genetics, Genomics, Molecular Biology, Neuroscience, Chemistry and Biochemistry. I have two kids and I am experienced in teaching elementary students too. Testimonial: My fourth grade daughter scored 100% in CST Math and she is the best speller in her class.
I emphasize on teaching basics. I lay strong foundation and strive to make concepts clear.

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style involves a positive approach. I believe students learn best in an environment that is both positive and challenging. Positive feedback is essential because students are encouraged to take risks and solve problems. A challenging classroom teaches critical thinking skills that are necessary for the global market.
I tutored philosophy students for a year while in college. I earned a master's degree in early childhood education and taught second grade for two years. I also was a substitute teacher for grades K-8th. Currently, I am a motivational speaker and a mentor through United We Mentor.

More About This Tutor...

I enjoy class discussion and participation when I am teaching in classroom. I would recommend my students to review the course ahead of time. Once I explain the subject, it will clarify any ambiguity. The other strategy that I use is to ask the students to pretend that they are the teacher and have them explain it back to me. This has been one of the best methods that help students realize whether they have understood the concept.
I graduated from the University of California, Santa Cruz with a bachelor's degree in Molecular and Cell Biology. I began teaching organic chemistry, shortly after my graduation, as a Teaching Assistant (TA). In that capacity, I held discussion sections in which I reviewed the subject in detail and worked with students in the laboratory. I worked with groups of twenty students in secondary discussion sections and laboratory experiments. At the same ti ... read more

More About This Tutor...

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 ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I began tutoring students during my junior year in high school. After completing my first few sessions, I became aware of the mutual benefits of such an arrangement. Not only did my students expand their knowledge base and improve their grades, but I also felt a great sense of fulfillment in return. Over the years, I have tutored students from the ages of 12 to 22 in a wide variety of subjects. Now that I have successfully completed my studies at UC Irvine in the field of Biology, I feel even more confident in conveying the information of such subject matter in an effective manner.
I have always centered my approach around building knowledge from the base up. After working with a number of students, and paying close attention to my own habits, I realized that the most effective way to learn would be to fully understand the basics first. For this reason, I work with my student ... read more
