A Little Bit About Me...

My 5 years as a United States Marine established important core values such as tact, integrity, discipline, and commitment. I bring these values with me into the classroom. I believe that the success of a student depends more on their level of commitment than on inherent talent. However, learning must be an enjoyable experience in order for a strong commitment to be made. I am passionate about mathematics and the sciences, and this passion shows in my teaching style. Students recognize this passion, and it makes the learning experience fun. I am patient, open-minded, and innovative; so if a student is struggling with a particular topic, I find an alternative teaching approach which better suits their learning style. The success of my students is gratifying, to both student and teacher alike.
I have been a straight-A student my entire life and I recently graduated from the Universit ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I love Mathematics and I often wear my heart on sleeve; when it comes to Math, I try to infect the student with that bug. I believe that most students have issues with their immediate teaching and, as a result, feel that math has no meaning to them, hence I teach Mathematics in a contextual manner, showing deep meaning for the drills imposed in the classroom curriculums most experience daily. I stress heuristic analysis techniques that have shown great results
I have tutored HS 9-12 and undrgraduate students individually in Mathematics, Chemistry, Biology, Physics and for SAT/ACT testing since the late 1990's. I received teaching credentials for teaching 9-12 Mathematics in California in 2005. I have worked as a Math/Sciences substitute in the Grossmont Union High School District since that time. I have also worked with A+ Professional Tutoring -- in San Diego County -- and Tutor.c ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a Master’s degree recipient in English, I have developed a comprehensive background in literature and composition. Moreover, my professional history includes many years of teaching and mentoring in both in the United States and abroad, which has enhanced my ability to communicate complex subject matter to a culturally varied student demographic. In Taipei, Taiwan, I prepared, facilitated and assessed English classes for local elementary, secondary, and adult Taiwanese students. While receiving my NCLB certified CLAD credential from SDSU, I served an inner-city population of students as a student teacher at San Diego High School, during which I had implemented and practiced effective teaching strategies to accommodate students with special needs and English Language Learners. I have since earned a CSET certification in general science and have designed technologically advanced units of ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am currently a Post Graduate student at UCSD. I have been tutoring for the past 3-4 years. I have primarily tutored High School and Undergraduate students. My area of expertise is Math. I can tutor any math up until Advanced Calculus.
I primarily focus on concepts and fundamentals. Most often I try to follow the instructors teaching style so the student can go to the class and does not feel lost. Although sometimes, I try different techniques based on how well the student is doing. I am very patient and I try my best to keep the session interesting and also at times challenging.

I am most proud of my ability to mitigate math anxiety. I think children learn best in a positive affective environment where they are encouraged to achieve at their highest potential. In math, the applications are often the discovery and I share the excitement of my students when they arrive at their goals. I love math and I love working with middle school age children.
I hold a K-12 Multiple Subjects credential with supplemental authorizations in math, physical science, and general science. I also have a BA in Psychology and I have taken many math and physics classes. I am also a published writer. For the past five years I have taught Algebra I and Physical Science at a charter school. I have also tutored Algebra II and Geometry as a mentor for students taking on-line courses. Although I do not have a credential to teach French, I am fairly fluent and I have taught begi ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

With 2 Masters Degrees in both business and education, and having taught different levels of mathematics for University of Phoenix Online for the past 3 years, I offer strong training background. Additionally, working for San Dieguito Unified HS District and La Jolla Country Day School as a substitute teacher for the past two years, I have learned to quickly develop rapport with middle and high school students.
I believe it is better to establish classroom guidelines first, and at the same time establish a good relationship with my students, to get through the work that the students need to do, then relax a bit to have fun with learning. I enjoy being in the classroom or tutoring one-on-one, and based on feedback from students, parents and other teachers, students enjoy working with me as well. I consider these testimonies proof I am an effective teacher and tutor.

I am a graduate student in materials science at UC San Diego, and a recent graduate of the California Institute of Technology with a BS in Mechanical Engineering. I have a broad and thorough understanding of math and physics, and to a lesser degree in chemistry and biology, as well as in more specialized subjects. I also have good writing skills gained from writing research and review papers and papers for graduate-level history classes. I am very familiar with the SAT and GRE tests and have two years' experience tutoring students in remedial classes at the high school and elementary school level.
My goal in teaching is to ensure that my students have a strong understanding of the subject and do not just follow a formula or recite rote knowledge. In addition to explaining concepts, I like to use models and present example problems with which the student can demonstrate his grasp o ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Teaching is a great way to educate and to learn. As a tutor, first, I see the student’s understanding level. I plan ahead of time and prepare proper material. However, if the material is provided, I find effective methods of teaching, and teach each student accordingly. It’s obvious that some techniques work better for some students but not others. Therefor, I choose a good teaching method, and assist students to learn the material better, faster and easier.
As a recent graduate of San Diego State University with a Bachelor of Science in Biology and minor in Psychology, I have taken many classes in biology, physics, algebra, psychology, chemistry as well as organic chemistry. I learned how to plan, provide and educated students by teaching and tutoring sciences and English classes for four years. Throughout my working experiences, I learned how to manage and organize an efficient ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I worked as a math tutor as a student worker during my last 3 years of college while working on my BS in Computer Science until 2004. I had previously studied at the Milwaukee School of Engineering and had an extensive background in Math. I taught at a Catholic High School, Messmer, for one year after graduation until 2005, before returning to ITT as an adjunct instructor. I became a fulltime Math tutor 2 years ago and hold that position today. I have instituted weekly study groups in 6 subjects, math reviews for incoming students, and bridge classes for students going to the next level of math as a skill check and review.
Most of my students are at-risk or attention deficit students, so I employ a style where I emphasize a good set of basic skills and knowing why we use the techniques we utilize. Most of my methods are visual and I emphasize laying down the structure of the ... read more
