UCLA: Math/Science/Computers/Executive Functions

I'm a graduate of UCLA Engineering with a passion for explaining how the physical world works through math and physics along with 14 years of tutoring experience in those subjects, test prep, and mentorship programs. The teaching strategy I believe in emphasizes subject fundamentals, a powerful and necessary tool for higher problem solving. This strategy has proven very effective regardless of the student's educational background or mental ability. Besides being knowledgeable, I am motivating, caring, and patient in guiding your student to academic success! EXECUTIVE FUNCTIONING: Executive Functioning is a separate realm that tutoring can assist in. It deals with cognitive processes including organization, time management, and study skills. Much of the difficulty students face in academic subjects can be attributed to the lack of executive functioning. They either cannot keep up w ... read more

More About This Tutor...

As a second language learner, I am keenly aware of the challenges in learning a new language. I am a native Japanese speaker, although I have attended a language school in Australia, and completed my bachelor's degree in the United States. In addition to my experiences in acquiring a new language, I also have experience as a preschool teacher and English tutor. I tutored junior high and high school students while living in Japan and am familiar with successful methods for imparting an understanding of vocabulary, grammar, and conversational skills. Furthermore, as a native Japanese speaker, I am fully capable explaining challenging concepts to my students in their native language to help aid comprehension.
It is my belief that language proficiency stems from extensive practice. Although I see my Japanese language skills as a useful tool in helping other Japanese speakers learn ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Having graduated with honors from a top university, the greatest asset I offer comes from my real world teaching experience. During my tenure as a substitute I have taught at all levels, from kindergarten to middle-aged adults, in all subject areas. Even as a young person I was involved with teaching others; I first began as a teacher's aid in high school and later I served as a tutor in college. This led to teaching full-time at the kindergarten level. Last year I worked in a summer camp in Canada and I completed my TESOL training and I was successful in teaching English in Paris France in the fall. Returning to California I continue to teach part time for the Ventura Unified School District.
My training in rhetoric, speech, and debate has taught me the importance of speaking clearly and articulately. This means that I pay close attention to language and I try to bring out that qu ... read more
