Learning can be fun!!

When tutoring, I strive to make lessons engaging, effective and enjoyable. Specifically, I tailor lessons according to an individual student's needs and involve students in a dialogue by asking questions that provoke thought, conversation, and perhaps humor. Because facts and figures are easily looked up in the information age, I place particular emphasis on thinking and on "learning how to learn". My teaching goals for any student are threefold: 1. learn the material (well!) 2. pass the test/subject (with a comfortable margin!), and 3. enjoy it (most challenging with math!).
I love learning and teaching alike. My first teaching experience was in high school when I helped teach inner city children how to swim. Following high school, I earned a bachelor's degree in genetics at UC Berkeley, during which time I worked as a teacher's assistant for a genetics professor. While in m ... read more

My comments on tutoring Algebra : Academics and professional experience.

Experience in teaching and tutoring science, mathematics and English. Strong academic background in mathematics: basic mathematics, algebra, geometry, trigonmentry, calculus and statistics; science: biology, botany, chemistry, genetics, physics and engineering; English: grammar, reading, vocabulary, composition and technical writing, speech and presentations.
My teaching style depends on the indivual and his/her learning abilities. I believe that anyone can learn a subject if they are moviated and consistant in doing homework and asking quetions.

I was a first generation student that strived to succeed as a collegestudent where I encountered difficult obstacles along the way. Through my own determination I have succeeded and have earned by Bachelors degree where I was able to complete a double major in accounting and spanish in four years from a prestigious university. I have gained valuable experience working for a local CPA firm working on various accounting projects.
I love working with children and have learned to be patient because every person has a different learning style. My goal is to make the transition into those difficult subjects easier. Given the right learning experience children can meet their own potential.

When I graduated in 2006, I began an entry level career as a credit analyst. The technical analysis did not bother me, but the lack of social interaction did. I changed careers and joined a private wealth management firm, educating affluent investors as to which investments vehicles best fit their objectives. I have 2 years of experience in giving free public seminars at local libraries and community centers. These seminars cover the basics of investing and financial planning concepts. Preceding this, I have helped my little brother in high school mathematics, something that he struggled with. Similar to my career path, I enjoy using common ground references in education in order to help illustrate otherwise complex concepts.
I enjoy "de-coding" mathematics to those who naturally stuggle with basic concepts from algebra to calculus. I use principles of mathematics in my day-to ... read more

The world would be a boring place if all of its people were the same. I believe each individual is socially, academically, emotionally, cognitively, and creatively developed differently from others. Some children perform better in social relationships than at written language and this is where people like me come handy to improve and help develop some of these academic domains. I believe people learn through direct experience and that an educator should focus on an individual’s needs, so a constructivist approach is my teaching style. I am patient, a good listener, who embraces diversity and is attentive.
Maintaining a good GPA was something extremely important to me during my academic years both in high school and in college. This is why I believe that everyone should have the opportunity and access to improve a certain academic area through the help of competent tutors like mysel ... read more

My vision and goal in working in education is to help students who are struggling and in need of help. These students can so often be overlooked or dismissed as failures, but I believe that all students have the capability to reach their goals. I strive to create a relationship with the student in which the tutoring creates an environment conducive to a common goal that we can share that will guide us to improving the student's life.
Educating students and helping them succeed has been a passion of mine for ten years now, both in the classroom and in one-on-one situations.

As engineering student I was always dedicated to my studies,and I truly enjoy learning. During my high school and college years I was a swimming coach at the local swim club and that is were I realized my love for teaching. After moving to the U.S. I worked as a substitute teacher for the desert sands unified school district for almost 8 months before entering my CLS training program. I am currently working with the School of medical technology program to enhance the curriculum and better the educational experience.
I am a person that is driven by the joy you get when a student finally understand something they didn't think they could. I am a teacher that will change my approach depending on the student and I will not stop until I am sure that they "get it". My strengths are physics, chemistry and math and i love making these subjects fun for all ages.

My teaching style is designed to first assess the student’s needs for assistance. Next, I develop teaching plans designed to help the student learn the material and prepare to be able to demonstrate their ability to successfully show they have mastered the needed material. I stress doing rather then memorizing.
I have both an MBA and a BS in accounting. I work for Arthur Young & Company for over 20 years including 8 as a partner. I am a CPA and also hold the designation as a Personal Financial Specialists [PFS] from the AICPA. I have taught accounting at the Community College level and have recently completed courses toward a limited subject teaching credential at Cal State San Bernardo, Palm Desert Campus. I have also served as a tutor for high school students.

I created a study groups based on education level and subject matter for the young adults living in the community. I focused lessons on English reading and comprehension, effective writing skills, algebra, calculus, and basic science. Working with youth from another culture and in a foriegn language forced me to gain strong interpersonal skills, innovative ways to tutor students, and the patience to work with students to achieve their academic goals.
I worked with students from the age of eight to eighteen. Each age group provided its own set of challenges and opportunities to strengthen my experience as a tutor.
