More About This Tutor...

Throughout my high school career I maintained a GPA of at least 3.5. The same can be said for my college career so far. By majoring in Liberal Studies, I have gained an extensive knowledge of teaching methods as well as the ability to teach many different types of learners. I have put this knowledge and ability to use both last semester and this semester by tutoring students at Fresno State. This semester, many of my students have learning disabilities. Last semester, every student I worked with passed the class we were working on.
It is my belief that teaching is an honor and a passion, not a profession. Everyone has a different learning style and teaching to an individual is very important. I also believe that teaching is as much a method of guidance as much as it is a method of instruction. Often times, students will learn on their own if you give them the opportunity fo ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I love teaching Mathematics and I am very patient with my student in the learning process. Before I start teaching my class used a motivational story about me to encourage my student and this make my student very eager to learn. This approach had work pretty well in the past and I am very sure it can work in all situation. Beside all this get to know my student one by one and their challenges in learning Mathematics which helps me to proffer solution for their learning short comings.
I was motivated by my passion for Mathematics and excellent approach my teachers used to teach me back in the days. My understanding of Mathematics and history of the early Mathematician made me to major in Mathematics. With bachelor in Mathematics I have taught a NABTEB certificate class for year, 85% of my student that sat for the exams passed and 80% of those that pass also pass their University ent ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe every child is capable of matching and exceeding our highest expectations. Every child learns differently and that is my approach. I don't believe in cookie cutter education. I design programs around students interests, needs, and abilities. I believe that positive feedback and reinforcement get better results than negativity, and it is my job to help your child be successful. It is my job to help your child buy into their own education and realize how great it is to be a lifelong learner.
I have been working with students since I was in Middle School myself. I went to college to become a special education teacher and am currently working as a resource specialist. I work with students who have learning disabilities, are at risk, have emotional disturbances, autism, or just need a helping hand. I have also taught in general education classrooms.

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoying helping others and teaching them what I know, whatever age they may be. I am very patient and friendly, which are characteristics I find to be important in a tutor. Also, I can be flexible in my teaching style, since I understand that not everyone learns in the same manner. I know that subjects such as math and science can be particularly difficult to understand, but I am willing to take the extra time to ensure that the individual I’m working with is able to grasp the material. Through support and encouragement, I feel that any type of learner is able to overcome their difficulties and be successful with their education. Education is extremely important in my life and I feel that I need to share my devotion with those around me.

More About This Tutor...

I stated tutoring privately and through the college when I was a student myself to see if teaching was something I wanted to do as a career. I tutored all my college years and realized that this is exactly what I want to wake up for every day. I earned my BS and single subject in Mathematics from Fresno State University. I have worked with students at all levels. I have tutored students as young as 5th graders and gone through levels of math from basic math to some graduate courses. I have been teaching for 9 years at high school up to pre-calculus. I teach because I want students to feel the same passion for math as I do and not be intimidated by it as lots of students are of mathematics.
I think each student is differnt and so is their learning style. As a teacher I want my student to find their confidence in math which mostly comes when they understand the subject completely. I ... read more

More About This Tutor...

My approach in teaching is unique. I have an autistic sibling and a son with an individualized education program, so my understanding of approaching children is on an individual basis. With my personal and professional experience, I have learned to be patient, understanding, friendly, and have a helpful attitude. My goal is to have every child try to surpass their zone of proximal development with my assistance. I have a pretty good sense as to how children approach learning; visually, hands-on, hearing, etc...I appreciate every child's potential because they are our future. Thus, I strive to help them find their confidence in education.
As a recent graduate from UC Berkeley, I have always held the upmost interest and passion in helping students achieve the best they could. I received my degree in American studies, this degree is designed to allow students to create their own educ ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My style of tutoring is skills-focused, with a goal of student independence. I am patient and work to facilitate a student’s ability to do the work herself, by giving her strategies for navigating her own work, and helping her to see, or mentally organize, reading and writing in new ways. Positive encouragement and building self-confidence are always important to me. Finally, I feel students learn best while doing meaningful work toward their own academic goals within a safe, fun environment. Tutoring is a joyful challenge and privilege for me and I look forward to helping more students in the future.

I offer a tailored approach to each student, establishing the particular areas of strength and weakness. I aim to establish or reestablish interest in math and also to teach exam techniques. My tutoring is to focus and prior knowledge and to reinforce new information to the student. Mainly I want each student to know the concept of math not to just memorize formulas which they tend to forget. I focus in making a connection and in understanding the concept.
I have a degree in mathematics from UC Santa Cruz. I am familiar I have also taught elementary school mathematics at traditional high school and at a Charter High School in the Central Valley and in San Jose Ca. I have over four years experience tutoring students, both at university level and high school level.
