PSAT Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Poway, CA

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 and instructive environment, and assist students in learning the material thoroughly. 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 teachin

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 solution when useful. I always tell why each step is used. If they know the why, then math becomes intuitive and not just memorized. My methods have been extremely successful and I have tutored many of my co-workers children, including the district manager's son. 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 i

As a recent graduate. I have tutored many of my friends for free when attending UCSD. I have also tutored as a private tutor in high school, and for a few months during college. I tutored kids from ages 8 to 14, teaching mostly in mathematics. I have a great grasp of knowledge on mathematics and also economics. As a teacher, I can adapt to different students. From experience, it is a fact that sometimes a teacher and student conection won't happen between certain teachers and students. I however, am very flexible on my style of teaching, after getting to know my student, I can adapt to the way he/she learns and cater to his/her needs. I am a very patient person that just wants to see my student succeed. I love teaching because it also teaches me new things, it also helps me brush up on my own knowledge.

I finished my lower division coursework at a california community college (AHC) and earned a total of six associate degrees. While at the community college, I administered practice test for students in MESA in mathematics (Calculus 1,2,3, and 4) while also working the maximum of 20 hours a week in the campus math lab (walk-in tutoring). Furthermore, I attended and graduated from UCLA with a bachelor's degree in physics and a minor in mathematics and finished the necessary coursework to apply to all medical school programs in to the country. I tutored for side money while attending UCLA. Currently, I'm a graduate student at SDSU. I'm two courses and a Master's thesis away from receiving my Master's degree in Physics. I prefer to approach every student very slowly in the beginning to understand exactly where their trouble are. Listening is the most important attribute that a tutor can have

My style is warm and interactive. I do not waste time. I can readily see what is needed and work very well as an adjunct to the student's course of study. I work with AP English and honors English students as well as remedial students in reading and writing. Once I see what is needed, I get the materials and am ready to start. I start where the student is and work for success. As a writing teacher I can teach strategies to improve writing and work with the writing expectation. I am a master teacher in writing and literature. I also supplement home schooling. I have had a lengthy career as an English department head in two independent schools. Presently I enjoy one on one tutoring and academic coaching. Since I am a reading specialist, I can quickly assess what is needed for remediation and acceleration in reading. I can effectively assist students in all grades as I have written

Although my vocation for the past 38 years has been Software Engineering, my avocation has always been teaching. I financed my undergraduate education by tutoring one-on-one at the high school level for 3 years. During my career as a Software Engineer I sought out opportunities to teach part-time, evenings and weekends. I have the equivalent of about 7 years of full-time experience teaching High School, Community College and College level math, science and economics courses at a variety of institutions including National University and Seton Hall University. I also have significant experience mentoring as well as presenting tutorials at professional conferences. I have always tried to adjust my teaching style to the students with whom I am working while at the same time adhering to the curricula and guidelines of the institution for which I worked.

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.com -- online -- for many years, in every level of the Sciences and Mathematics. 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 da

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 beginning

Over the years, I have been able to utilize my communication and interpersonal skills in my work with diverse student populations in various teaching and mentoring capacities, as well as liaising with parents, other teachers/administrators, and the public. I have also had the opportunity to work with and assess students with learning disabilities, as well as adults with developmental disabilities. I am sensitive to the nuances of working with the unique needs of an diverse youth and adult population. As someone with an international education and background, I would bring a unique knowledge and skill base that would benefit your organization and those it serves.

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. 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.
