A Little Bit About Me...

Currently an Engineering student. Therefore, Physics and Math are my talents. Moreover, Mandarin Chinese is my first language, so I can certainly teach that, too. If you are interested, I also know how to program in C++ which is one of the hardest programming languages. I hope I can help you success and get the "A"!

ThinkTankTutor Brentwood Private and Group Mathematics Tutor

I believe in Minimalism. I tutor Math from the point of view that the shortest path is the best path but everyone learns differently and finding the right method for my students is one of my main goals when tutoring. I teach students multiple ways to solve a particular problems and they get to decide which method works best for them, hopefully its the simplest method. Public School class rooms have 30 plus students and only one instructor. The low instructor to student ratio makes it difficult for more then one method to be taught leaving some students behind. When students feel they don't understand, they become self conscience of their perceived lack of knowledge making them less confident in mathematics which leads to procrastination on their homework . Besides finding the right method, another of my principle goals is helping my students grow in confidence. I want my students to enjo ... read more

Results-driven tutor seeking to share my love of knowledge!

I graduated high school with a full International Baccalaureate Program Diploma, and a 4.53 weighted GPA. I then went on to receive a full ride scholarship to Santa Clara University for Computer Engineering, where I took part in the University's Honors Program. There I completed 3 years of study in computer science, classical languages, and Spanish, before deciding to change directions and gain real-world experience. After a brief leave of absence, I entered Licensing Education Courses for the field of Insurance, passed the License Exam, and went to work as the Vice President of Marketing for Financial and Insurance Services, an independent insurance brokerage in Fresno, CA. Feeling the urge to once again to change directions, I am taking took time to pursue my passion for poetry, competing in several contests and publishing an anthology of poetry on Amazon (“Automatic Phantom”).

I have been tutoring college students with their math and science problems for about half year. Throughout my experience in the field of tutoring, I have found that it is important to establish a trusting relationship with those you teach. Although many people experience obstacles in learning math and science, I believe that by approaching mutiple ways to the problem, every student can find a approach that works for them.

I am going to be a college student by the end of this summer. Even though I do not have much teaching experience, but I love to learn with students. Since I am a student as well, I would know better how students want to study and what way would make the studying more efficient. These are the subject I have leaned. And for Chinese, I was born in China and know how to listen, write, and speak Chinese.

Math and Java Tutor

Hi, my name is Abiodun ("Abi" for short) and I am a double major student in Mathematics and Computer Science at Modesto Junior College. I've been tutoring independently throughout my high school years, and now I work as a tutor for the Modesto Junior College Math Drop-in Center. The one and only reason I'm majoring in Mathematics is because of my love for the subject; as a tutor, I not only share the knowledge of the subject I love deeply, I teach my students shortcuts and highlight the over-arching concepts, rather than have them watch me solve problems and try to copy my every move. My methods not only give my students a better grade, it gives a deeper understanding of the subject. Furthermore, I am a student just like you; I understand your struggles, and will work with your schedule. My job is to create successful students, and I will do what is necessary to meet that objectiv ... read more

My comments on tutoring Pre-Calculus : I did very well, and above average in Pre-Calculus! I was surprised at how well I did ,and how proficient I was in my ability to recognize formulas/equations and execute their rules/methods to solving them. This course I mastered at Diablo Valley College!

My teaching style is multi-dimensional, and personally tailored to each specific student. Each student is unique and special. Everyone has a different learning style, which means each person has different need in terms of how they learn. I learn about each student, and take the time to figure out how they take in information. Also how they best understand their course material, and whether their learning style is Visual, Auditory, or Kinesthetic. Perhaps a person's learning style is a combination of these three things. When I teach, I use colors (pens/markers), diagrams, figures, counting figures(ex: colored counting bears), and a writing board to work out/solve math problems. When tutoring in Reading, Spelling, and Vocabulary I use the writing board, flash cards, and stories to help my students feel compforatble with their subjects. I listen to each one of my students, and a ... read more

Children differ greatly to acquire knowledge depending on their learning styles and background. So it is very important to identify the student's skills and understanding and to create a conducive learning environment. I enjoy working with children and I want to provide the best I can to make a differnce in their lives. I find fulfillment to see them succeed.

I was the first one in my family to graduate from college. My parents did not have the great opportunity that I did and were only able to complete elementary school. I have always thought that education can get you anywhere you want and that knowledge is something hat cannot be taken away from you ever. I graduated with a Bachelor's in Biology with an emphasis in Human Development. It's not easy to go through college, but with hard work and dedication everything is possible. There is one thing I know for sure, that even now that I know all the hours of studying and lack of sleep that it takes to graduate, I would do it all over again because at the end its all worth it.
I love teaching and working with all children. I believe all children can learn, but each in different ways. I am available to help your child find academic success. I am patient, easy going, and considerate. My ... read more

When I came to Hawaii from Fiji to attend college, I was very interested in learning more about computers and what they can do. I noticed that most of my American friends could operate a computer fairly well but could not solve simple math problems like Algebra or Trigonometry. I talked to my adviser and found out that my high school math in Fiji could cross credit for all the math I required to earn a BS degree in Information Systems. I have helped a couple of students while in college study math for the GRE exams to get into graduate school.
I have a two year elementary teacher certificate from Fiji where I taught school for five years before I got a scholarship to study in Hawaii. I noticed a great difference between American students and Polynesian students. Polynesian students are very passive learners and will never dare ask questions in class. The teacher can do pretty muc ... read more

I enjoy working with students and helping them understand math and science. I believe it is important to understand the concepts behind the problems. I take the time to explain the concepts that challenge the students through examples. I give the students steps to follow to solve the problem and for word problems I teach them how to pick out key information needed in order to solve them. I also encourage the students to attempt the problems. Often times I have found the student does know how to complete the problem, but just needs the extra encouragement. In this way, I am also able to find out the student’s areas of struggle and weakness and then address these issues specifically. I desire all my students to understand and feel successful.
Math and biological sciences have always been subjects, which have interested me. I have graduated from UCLA with a BS in Applied Mathematics a ... read more
