My name is Quyen and I'm still a college student. I enjoy helping people with homework and tutoring. My best area is in Math but I am decent in other subjects too. Even though I am not a certified teacher nor having any experience with tutoring; however, I've had taken math all through out my education career-up to Calculus 2.
I always try to use everyday situations and apply them to math problems i'm trying to teach.

Teaching strategies which have worked for me in the classroom include cooperative learning groups that encourage social interaction, as well as, jigsaw groups. The use of PowerPoint presentations to illustrate the material utilizes a technology component which I find useful. Strategies for special needs students would include making sure to see if they are a visual, auditory, or sensory learner and teach to those senses. I would need to tailor my lesson plans by making the information more interactive for students who have special needs or are English language learners to make sure that they are learning the information. I would have more cooperative group activities and hands-on tasks that the students could engage in, such as a webquest activity in the computer lab. Graphic organizers are always good tools to use.
My background includes an undergraduate degree in History and ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

After returning to college to get my teaching certificate I taught 5th grade for one year. I then taught at a high school in Salinas, California for four years. As an elementary teacher I taught all subjects except science. I taught various history and social studies classes to the high school students including World History, honors U.S. History, Psychology and Current Events. I left teaching in 1992 to attend law school but have volunteered as a mentor on several occasions which has allowed me the opportunity to tutor children in both elementary and middle school.
I enjoy learning and try to pass along some of my enthusiasm to my students. I will work with the student to find the best methods for us to approach the material so he or she will have the greatest success. I believe that creating a structure assists in the learning process, but the structure may be different for ... read more

I love learning and communicate that enthusiasm when I teach. I am patient and kind, and very good at breaking down assignments and problems to manageable tasks.

A Little Bit About Me...

After pursuing PhD at Dartmouth College, I have acquired years of process engineering and management experience at Intel Corporation and Biotronik Inc. I have five years real world engineering experience and have spent two years teaching science courses at University Buffalo and George Washington University as an instructor and a teaching assistant. At times, I taught 134 college students during my masters work at Buffalo, NY and 75 senior and middle level professionals and technicians from engineering to safety classes. I have tutored math and science students extensively in India and UK during my college years and have passion to teach History, Geography and Biological sciences.
A major drawback in current teaching methods at schools and institutions is the absence of efforts to educate students, why they should learn things they are being taught. I try to understand the students ... read more

I have extensive experience as a provider and manager of human services in the field of mental health, and am recognized for my contributions to the field of children's mental health both locally and nationally. I write items for the Association of Social Work Boards licensure exams (LCSW) in order to keep my hand in cutting edge clinical topics and to contribute to my first love: clinical services.

My undergraduate experience has given me both breadth and depth in academic subjects. The curriculum I've studied at St. John's includes 4 years of language (2 Ancient Greek, 2 French); 3 years of laboratory science (physics, chemistry, biology, electricity & magnetism, etc.); 4 years of mathematics (including geometry, algebra, and calculus); and well as 4 years of "The Great Books of Western Civilization" tutorial wherein I have studied philosophy, literature, theology, political theory, and economics. I feel very comfortable in a tutoring position in most academic subjects spanning from K-college.
I am most familiar with conversation, as a means of relating information and testing understanding. I think that a through understanding in any subject comes about when a student can recognize the important concepts, and how they relate to each other, and speak those concepts in words ... read more

In order to put myself through my college education, I worked nearly full time as a tutor throughout the duration of my college career, continuing past graduation. Academic-minded, I graduated at the top of my class as a valedictorian candidate which is an affirmation of my ability to use critical thinking and creativity with success. In my tutoring experiences, I specialized with students that had severe learning disabilities ranging from ages 6-18 in subjects including mathematics, science, Spanish, English, social studies and history as well as test preparation and study skills.
Teaching students of all levels is a passion of mine. From my many years of experience around children, I have found that I do not have just one teaching style. Each child is unique and therefore the approach I take with each child is unique. I have had the greatest success in trying different learning m ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching philosophy is first to have the knowledge for the subjects. Then, I think you need to understand the youth learning styles and to find out where they are with their knowledge and then begin from there. Certainly some refreshing maybe necessary, but most of the time the youth is behind so the teaching would focus on helping them reach their potential and moving forward.
During the summers of college I was trained in Project Read and organizational skills. I then tutored youth from grade school to high school in math and science from grade school math to algebra and geometry the same for science. I worked with the teachers to determine when assignments were due and worked on planning with the students to plan out how and when to work on projects to complete them on time. Also, from 2000 to 2007 I was a youth advocate which involved teaching career readiness classes, tutor ... read more

I have worked with children in multiple environments for over seven years. In my interactions with each child, I have customized the way I communicate and work with them to best suit their individual learning styles and needs. I love working with all children and believe that they are all capable and intelligent. I also believe that children retain more if they feel confident in their surroundings, if they are actually enjoying themselves, and if they are encouraged by a positive person. My goal when working with children is to provide these assets to learning so they will feel good about themselves and assist them in excelling in their goals and education. Through a prior job at a school for children with Learning Disabilities, I saw first hand how essential it is for a child to be in a positive learning environment and to receive tools that help them "learn how to learn".

I have an extensive experience in the field of tutoring. For the past eight years, I have work with students from age kindergarten to highschool. From one-on-one tutoring, small groups, to helping a class of more than 60 students. Therefore, I can recognize each student's ability and devised a studying plan to help them improve their weaknesses. With a Bachelor degree in Biology and Chemistry, I have a strong background in science and mathematics. Furthermore, I have taken many courses in Writing, English, and grammar.
Each student has different ways to learn. Some students require a more visual approach while ohers prefer repetion through listening and writing. I try to find the best way to help students learn and retain information. I believe that with the right help, every student has the potential to achieve academic success.

I recently graduated with honors from PSU and have a strong desire to work with and help children. I have a passion for literacy and believe it has the power to change lives. I am a single mom of a 14-year-old son and have also volunteered with the African Women’s Coalition to tutor African Refugee children. Working with the children transformed my life and taught me the importance of knowledge.
I am known for my amazing listening skills and empathy. I am a student of Non-violent communication and use it at every opportunity. I love to teach with symbolism and visual techniques. Most of all I find it is important to listen to the child and see how they need to be taught and adjust to their comfort levels. I feel that patience and compassion for different cultures is also key to the student’s success.

A Little Bit About Me...

As an English major I have always enjoyed and excelled in the field. I was top of my class in high school. I also aided in the kindergarten class. I changed my major in college because I knew English was my calling. I have a Bachelor's degree from Warner Pacific. I enjoyed my classes and did extremely well. I aided at Clackamas High for a while, where I enjoyed the one on one with the students. In my current job I have trained and taught many associates. I am a perfectionist who pays great attention to detail. I love to read, write and create. I have always wanted to work as a tutor.
I love teaching and working with children. I love English. I love seeing the expression in the eye of a student who finally understands the concepts. I know what it is like to struggle and get frustrated. In Jr high I was tutored in English and math. Once I understood the concepts there was no stopping ... read more
