I teach hands-on with many demonstrations and hands-on activities. I have been told by some of my past students that I made science fun for them and that science used to be their worst subject, but with me as their teacher they found it to be their favorite subject.
I have been tutoring math and sciences since I have been a senior in college. Most recently I have worked tutoring math and science as a personal tutor in the LA area. I have also taught Biology and Earth sciences at East High School in Salt Lake City, UT for a year, and 2 years at New Community Jewish High School in West Hills, CA teaching anatomy and physiology and Chemistry.

Teaching in an inspiring and positive teaching style, I have special talent to explain and to clarify difficult concepts in a variety of ways that effectively "get the idea across" in a manner that makes learning easier and more fun. I believe that a structured environment with open communication is most effective and conducive to learning. I work with students to develop critical and independent problem-solving skills through praise and building confidence and self-esteem. Because all children do not learn the same way, I incorporate all three learning styles--auditory, visual and kinesthetic, or learning by doing-- into my teaching in order to meet individual needs and ability to learn.
Earning my BA degree and Teaching Credential from SDSU, I also have units equivalent to a Master's in curriculum development and health information. Recognized as an outstanding and dedicated teac ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

One thing I discovered about myself recently was that I have a passion for teaching. I love the idea of imparting knowledge and sharing what you have learned to other people, children in particular. There is nothing more rewarding than becoming part of somebody's learning process and intellectual growth. My teaching style involves active involvement from the student, making sure that they're getting the point and learning to apply the concepts in various situations. I believe that with the right motivation and learning approach, any student can be successful regardless of mental capacity. I also have experience teaching the developmentally challenged.
I graduated from the top university in the Philippines with a bachelor's degree in Psychology. My career path was towards medical school so my background includes expertise in biology, chemistry, mathematics and some physics. I am ... read more

I am a compassionate teacher who promotes an encouraging learning environment so that my client will excel in the subject matter. Not only do I address the weaknesses that the student has in the specific subject, but I provide useful study skills and self-help practices that will enable the student to excel outside of the tutoring environment. All of my students begin to enjoy the learning material and in turn make great progress in their academic work.
During my undergradaute education, I began tutoring children aged grade K-12 in math, science and reading. My biology undergraduate degree has provided me with extensive skills in Physics, Chemistry, Math, biology, as well as all basic science material. I have also earned my Master's in Public Health which solidified my writing skills in the process of writing research papers and essays in a broad array of topics. I have tutored stu ... read more

Having been reading since I was two it was a natural progression of events that, despite my dyslexia, I completed my BA in English Literature and thereby am intimately acquainted with all of the generas, nuances, and demands that true literacy requires. I started off college as a Micro-biology major so I have spent a good amount of time buried in the lab as well as Chaucer and Milton. I have been tutoring and helping my peers and their children for many years in science, art, history, literature and music.
I am a huge advocate for the theory of multiple intelligences. I believe every child is capable, its just a matter of figuring out how they process information. Academic success is just one measure of growth, but whole learning is what I consider true success and I believe when the whole child is taught that academic success will invariably follow. I am Queen Patience and Queen e ... read more

I am a 'relaxed' teacher, but maintain - or try to maintain - a good study pace. The individual I may be tutoring may require different approaches to try and learn the material at-hand; however, I have always found that with a positive attitude and a constructive approach to any learning 'issue' the solution is normally found between both the student and the tutor (as to the best study method works for the individual at-hand).
As an undergraduate student at the University of California Santa Barbara I found and nurtured a love to pass-on learned experiences to others. The program I was heavily involved with was named MESA (Mathematics, Engineering, and Science Achievement). Being an engineer, I tutored students at different High Schools and found great pleasure in seeing how other kid's faces could 'sparkle,' when they found-out that they could solve problems which they may have no ... read more

Pursuing a competitive major at a prestigious research institution required dedication, responsibility and excellence. These developed attributes lead me to graduate with a BS with honors and distinction in the major. Graduating with these accolades displays my extended knowledge of biochemistry and molecular biology and high proficiency in other classes taken at the university ranging from cultural diversity lectures to English grammar. I have respected my education and worked hard and shared my passion for learning for the past 6 years tutoring in algebra, high school English, geometry, calculus, biochemistry and general biology.
Learning to teach at age sixteen taught allowed me to develop my teaching style into a mature and planned method. I have taught dance classes, summer camps, and tutoring sessions. The diversity of the teaching subjects gave me insight into how stud ... read more

I have professionally taught for 29 years at mostly the secondary level. Four years were spent teaching at the college level instructing allied health students in Anatomy and Physiology. During the years of High School teaching I taught Biology (basic, honors, AP), Chemistry (basic and AP), Human Anatomy and physiology, Physics, and Earth Science. One year of teaching involved Jr-high courses of science as well as algebra and geometry. Of course, formal teaching always involves informal tutoring after school when some of the best teaching occurs. Through the years I have done formal tutoring on a scheduled bases. I currently tutor a biology student twice a week.
Teaching to me has always been a passion not a job. The most important lesson for the student is to gain a desire to learn and to be lead to know how to learn. I attempt to show that learning is fun and exciting. I ... read more

I am flexible and patient; helping students to learn is my priority. I believe that tutoring offers an ideal relationship with the student where their specific needs and learning styles can be addressed. I feel that it is important to connect to a student's interests and imagination. To accomplish this it is necessary to teach with interest and imagination. I don't accept anything less from myself.

I have a very structured classroom, yet I believe in 'teachable moments'. I work with the children 'where they are', and make progress accordingly. I believe in positive reinforcement, and I am very sincere with compliments. I've had much experience teaching any subject to any age K-12. I consider each pupil an individual, and provide one on one instruction to each and every student. I believe in contact with parents on a regular basis. It is my firm commitment to make students lifelong achievers.
I have thoroughly enjoyed teaching throughout my entire life. I put myself through Cal State Los Angeles, earning a Multiple Subject Credential, Special Ed. Credential, and a Reading/Language Arts Specialist Credential. I have worked and tutored many 'At Risk' students, and pupils with behavioral issues.

A Little Bit About Me...

In reality, I have been tutoring almost since I could read or write. The first tutoring job I held was in elementary school. After graduating from elementary school, I did my first two years of secondary education via home-school and stayed at our small, two-room elementary school in order to help the younger students. During my senior year of academy, I served as a Resident Assistant and Dormitory Tutor. After earning my bachelors degree in Biology, I returned home and worked at our local community college as a math tutor, and then went on to privately tutor several individuals, including one student who had been diagnosed with ADD. I have tutored students in a variety of different subjects, but the concentration of my tutoring has been in English, mathematics and science.
Working with children is such a joy! I really enjoy being able to observe the moment the "lightbulb" co ... read more

I have been working on the teaching assistant position at USC for many years. My Ph.D. is in physics and have done extensive research on mathematical physics. Overall, I have the qualification to teach at this position.
Illustrative, intuitive and inductive is my 3-I's from the teaching experience. People understand things through different routes and it is not the material that is difficult, but typically it is the material doesn't ring a bell to the person's mindset. So, it is important to have the communication right and understand another person's mindset.

My main goal as an Educator is to expose students to the most current knowledge in biology while at the same time assisting them in the process of developing critical thinking skills. I like to promote a productive learning environment where students feel comfortable and confident to exchange ideas and eager to apply scientific inquiry in individual and group projects.
I have an extensive teaching career in the field of Biology that includes different educational levels. I am currently teaching Biology courses at college level. As a complement of my experience, and since all my education was gotten in a Spanish-speaking country, I am perfectly fluent in Spanish language. I authored and coauthored scientific publications and books written in Spanish language as well.

A Little Bit About Me...

Throughout the last 7 years, I have instructed children and teens in a variety of subjects. As a junior lifeguard instructor, I taught important skills such as first aid and CPR; it was here that I first began understanding how to teach children. Upon switching jobs and beginning to teach at an outdoor summer science camp, I expanded my horizons into the academic realm, not just the first aid and lifeguard realm. It was at Sarah’s Science Summer Camp that I truly began to understand the different ways in which younger minds function. At Sarah’s Science, I learned how to effectively work with each individual while continuously showing support for a group as a whole.
As a graduate of Whittier College, I have received an education unlike many. Through the 4-year liberal arts program at Whittier, I studied a vast array of subjects ranging from Math and Spanish to Business and Chem ... read more
