Growing up as a student I noticed that most of the teachers in the classroom pay attention to only a fraction of students. This bothered me. One of the main reasons why I decided to become a teacher is to give each student the attention he or she needs. I love being a part of the students' education, and knowing that I can leave a positive impact is a great reward. As a graduate of University of Irvine, I have learned to achieve knowledge through research and inquiry. Researching was a major part of my degree alongside to writing and analyzing. This helps me teach the students to effectively gather their information on the area of their study. Moreover, I have tutored chemistry for two semesters in Irvine through Education Outreach Program. During my credentials, I interned at two prestigious elementary schools. I learned to manage a classroom by myself and plan for different subjects s

As a native Chinese speaker, I enjoy teaching others Chinese because I could see people have the urge to learn the language. Many people would be surprised to know that Cantonese and Mandarin are consider as Chinese. However, they tone and the way to speak Cantonese and Mandarin are totally different. I grew up in Southern China, so I am good at speaking and writing in Cantonese and Mandarin. I have experienced on teaching young kids Chinese one-by-one. By talking and correcting the pronunciation, people learn Chinese more quickly through daily conversation. Usually, I would use English and Chinese in teaching. In addition, I can also use only Chinese in teaching if it is required. In my way of teaching, conversation is very important because people can learn faster through talking. For those who want to learn Chinese character, there will be a small booklet for them to learn how to wri

Meticulous presentation & enthusiasm for teaching/tutoring Mathematics is my teaching style, always making learning a fulfilling/educational experience for all students. I strongly encourage students in their education, including: demonstrating positive collateral learning, motivating students towards educational advancement, and showing commitment to our educational system. My classroom ideologies extend from Math Education - Constructivism, where students contribute to their daily learning process by participating in constructing knowledge, and where they appreciate the learning/ideas of others. As a fervent student of Mathematics, I have a M.S. and B.A. both in Mathematics - California State University Northridge. As an undergraduate at C.S.U.N., I taught for their Math Tutoring Lab for 3 years. Soon after entering into their Graduate program, I began teaching Math (gaining inval

I teach because I love to help people learn. Most students are children, and teaching children of allages is a blast. All kids are different, and you really have to know what makes them tick. I'm very good at seeing what works for kids and what doesn't. I'm very patient, and I believe in making sure students understand why things are the way they are in music. It's very frustrating playing things, but not knowing why or how it all works. I keep teaching fun, and I approach every student as a new journey..I'm just a really experienced tour guide. Kids will learn to play what they want to play as well as what they need to know how to play. I'm a professional musician and teacher, and I've got a lot of real world experience both as a player and teacher. I studied classical guitar, but I play all styles. Studying classical guitar gave me a huge repertoire of not only music but gene

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 an ST

The interesting part was that I was forced to be creative, since not everyone can learn from the same analogies and techniques. So, over the years I have developed many different approaches to teaching and also much patience. I find a method that works for the student, and then make sure quickly the student can actually do the problems. I break down Algebra into visual patterns, and analogous concepts. I started tutoring in the Mid 1970's, tutoring Chemistry to CSULA Nursing students. Then I realized i could also tutor Math, since I took many Math classes in my Chemistry and Computer Science curricula. I have encountered a diverse range of students allowing me to hone my craft.

Music is extremely important to every student's development. I believe every child is capable of grasping good, solid musical concepts and that these concepts will make them better people and better citizens of our planet. Everyone learns different and I evaluate each students process and teach accordingly. I am an experienced composer, songwriter and producer with extensive film credits. I have scored over 40 feature films, including the Academy Award® nominated documentaries "Mighty Times-The Legacy of Rosa Parks", and "Rock The Boat".  I have also been recognized for my work with two 21st Century Filmmaker Awards for Excellence.  I would be happy to send you a CD and promotional material. In the meantime, I invite you to visit my website (http://www.kevinsaundershayes.com) for a full list of credits, featured music selections, video examples, press reviews, as well as director and

I think it's a great feeling when you actually know you've taught something to a child and you can tell they will remember it for life. I still remember my friend's mom teaching me tricks to remember the multiplication tables, and I would like to be able to impact someone's life in the same way. I'm a fun person and I like to do things a little outside of the box. I would try to make the tutoring sessions something that the children would look forward to. I look forward to the challenge of making a difference. To earn a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University Of Notre Dame, I had to be a Renaissance class-taker. Math, Science, and foreign language were all required for anyone to graduate. My major was Film, Television, and Theater, but many Literature and History classes were also all required. Writing is my strength, as I wrote and directed the school's biggest comedy show and ran t
