During the ups and downs of my undergraduate career, I became self-aware of the challenges that a student faces, especially within subjects that are not his/her strong suits. I believe the best approach is one where self-motivation from within is encouraged, as any subject is difficult without the right motivation. To identify the right motivation, as a tutor back in 2001, I took time to discuss with the students their interests and goals. By understanding them on this personal level, I felt it was easier to connect with them and make them realize that their success was of great importance to me.
As a graduate from a top-10 university and from graduate school, I know what it takes to get into a top program and succeed at a high level. In the past 5 year, I have been working as a consultant in the environmental industry, but want to take some time off now to explore other intere ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a graduate student at UC Berkeley working towards my Masters Degree in Mechanical Engineering. Since I am interest in teaching , I established my career as follow: 03/2007- 05/2007 Tutor, San Jose Public Library, Seven trees Branch, San Jose, CA 1/2009-1/2010 Private Tutor - Tutoring Math to a high school student.
Since I am an engineer, I teach Math orienting towards its application. In such way, I motivate people by stating application behind any math . I believe examples and theories are necessary for students to understand the material; moreover, challening tests are also necessary for them more exciting about Math and to know the world is not that easy. In short, I will motivate the material by saying the applications, explain the materials, work on the examples, and, then, test the student to know how my teaching is effected to my students

Over the past decade I have also prepared science curriculum materials (middle and high school) for Glencoe McGraw-Hill, Gale Thomson, Pearson and John Wiley. I am the author of The Globalization of Trade, an introduction to the economics of globalization for young readers (published in 2004). Most of my curriculum writing has been science-related, but I have also prepared articles in other areas for Gale Thomson's reference books. My academic training was in the physical sciences (physics, chemistry). I earned a PhD in materials science from the University of Virginia and subsequently completed a two-year postdoc at Stanford University in theoretical chemistry. My undergraduate training was in physics (UC Berkeley).
In 1983 I completed an ESL teacher training course at Stanford University, and subsequently was hired to teach English in Japan. I made heavy use of the prevailing ... read more
