I Promise that you will have fun while you Learn!

Children say that I am so patient and relaxed. One little girl asked me last week, "how come I don't grate on your nerves? My mom says I grate on her nerves." Well, no child has ever "grated on my nerves" :) Children know I care about them and we develop a mutual respect for each other.

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style is aimed at making the child feel good and happy with learning. Often children need tutoring in subjects that frustrate them, they miss one aspect and while they're spending time on that in class the teacher blazes past them adding more confusion. I take it upon myself to back track to the initial place where the confusion stemmed from and spend the time working through these rough patches. I gear everything as a game or story to create excitement in a subject that would normally earn groans. I want your child to feel proud of what they do know already, and use that happiness to fuel further learning.
I have always had an interest in tutoring, starting in Elementary school where I would leave during recess in the fourth and fifth grade to spend time in my past Kindergarten teacher's classroom. There I would read to students, reinforce the teachings lead by th ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style consists of consistency, understanding, consideration, connection and positive acknowledgement. All children need consistency to help with academic success. This means a certain time, environment, etc. in which they study or learn. Understanding refers to the fact that not all children study or learn the same so this is pertinent in order to learn and accomodate each child you help. Consideration is being open to different situations and learning blocks each child may have; be considerate to each child's needs. Connection refers to the fact that children and their parents must be able to trust you and know that you will help their children to the best of your ability and unleash their true potential. Positive acknowledgement refers to the postive "praise" or reinforcement of achievements. This drives children to want to do better and instills self-confidence and ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy working with children because of their curiosity and forthrightness. Through exploration of the subject matter, I engage their curiosity while respecting their opinions and efforts. I am patient and work to establish a rapport with a child so that s/he is comfortable with me. This allows for a greater focus on the material to be studied. I know that every child can learn and progress, if given the tools to succeed.
I am an Ivy League graduate with a BA in Classics. As an undergraduate, I studied Latin and ancient Greek, as well as classical and medieval history and literature. I have extensive experience in researching, writing and editing due to my own studies as well as reviewing the work of colleagues. I have two years experience teaching small classes and tutoring individuals.

I am a firm believer that each and every student has equal ability to succeed in their academic pursuits. It is up to the teacher to provide the tools and environment that enables the student to flourish. Not only does a good teacher educate the child, but they also motivate the student to further pursue academic achievements. I believe in giving students the tools needed to solve current and future problems, not just a quick solution.
I am a graduate of UC San Diego earning a BS in Structural Engineering. I have a strong grasp of the math and science fields, and how concepts from each discipline overlap and interconnect. In addition to my own academic pursuits I have tutored and worked in the classroom environment with students ranging from grades 1-6.

As a graduate of Sociology I have gained a lot of knowledge about how society functions. I was interested in this area of study to understand peoples because I have always had compassion for others. I have participated in a 4 unit class where i taught Spanish to 8-11 year old children and it consisted of developing a plan that included songs and dancing to learn Spanish in a fun and animated way. I have done research on homelessness, and had an internship with a non profit that provides social services for those in need. Working closely with this organization has helped me assess peoples needs and use problem solving skills to help individuals in a variety of situations.

More About This Tutor...

I love helping children learn in a way that's fun and supportive. I strongly engage my students in the process by asking questions and balancing the different learning styles (auditory, written, verbal, physical). I can bring structure and focus to students' learning path in a compassionate and safe environment, and help them gain confidence and be successful.
I have always enjoyed helping people learn, from dancing and sailing in my youth, to English and French more recently. For two years I was a tutor at a resource center at a city college, where I helped students on a one on one basis with reading and writing skills. I have tutored privately a number of clients in French, and I currently teach a French class at an after care program.

My tutoring experience has been very rewarding, because results are evident within a couple of sessions with the students. I am patient, positive, and creative. As a student in Organic Chemistry I have learned that repetition is the best way to know the material. As a teacher for Organic Chemistry I believe that after the initial topic is covered and somewhat understood the student should be given lots of practice problems. At this point, we can work on the weak parts of the understanding of the material based on how the student can handle the problems. Organic Chemistry is my favorite subject ( I still have my Organic Chemistry textbook) and I feel passionately that my enthusiasm will have a positive effect on the student.

My teaching style targets the needs of the particular students I am working with. If my students are visual learners, than my job is to make sure I am providing them with the visuals and demonstrations that are helping them be successful. I believe and know that children have various learning modalities and as an educator I make it my job to accommodate those various academic and sometimes social needs. I never lower my expectations for any students, I only change the direction of my teaching in order to best suit their needs. My goal is to help students succeed, not only in terms of academics, but also socially and professionally. There is definitely a strong correlation between health and academics and if a child is feels healthy mentally, physically and emotionally, than they are likely to be successful.

My goal as a tutor is to awaken in students a genuine love of learning and to provide them with meaningful opportunities to acquire the skills they need to succeed in their chosen paths. Passion for growth, commitment to excellence, enthusiasm for exploring new ideas, and a growing sense of self-mastery: these are the qualities that I seek to cultivate in my students, whatever their age. My approach to tutoring incorporates a sensitivity to the unique goals, interests, and learning preferences that all students bring to the process, so they feel connected to what they are learning and recognize that their studies have enduring value.

I have extensive experience in teaching undergraduate laboratory courses in physical, analytical, and inorganic chemistry. Among my responsibilities as a teaching assistant were preparing samples, giving laboratory lectures, leading discussion groups, and providing student evaluation. I also helped design experiments for an undergraduate physical chemistry lab course. During my semester as head chemistry TA at Marquette, I coordinated laboratory classes with other teaching assistants. As a graduate student, I had the opportunity to work in various chemistry labs where I independently designed experiments to answer specific research questions. I am familiar with the operation and maintenance of different laboratory instruments.
My way of teaching science is by letting students answer their own questions. By doing so, the students can learn to solve problems more analytically. I be ... read more

As a recent graduate of the CSU East Bay chemistry program, I was given the opportunity to have personal instruction from many different professors. I was able to graduate within four years while working a part time job as an ice hockey official and participating in undergraduate research. I also worked as tutor both for the department of chemistry at CSU East Bay and as a private tutor. When I graduated in 2008, I immediately came to UCSB to study chemistry at the graduate level where I was a chemistry teacher assistant for over a year. I have much experience in writing and grading lab reports, solving and explaining chemistry and mathematics problems, and standing up in front of a classroom while explaining chemistry.

I have a bachelor's degree in Liberal Studies with a science concentration and upon finishing my student teaching immediately took a full time job completing the remainder of the school year (March-June 2005) teaching middle school math. In September of 2005 I began teaching middle school science and math as well as elementary school science labs at Santa Barbara Christian School. I taught at SBCS for three years and then worked as a clinician for the Lindamood-Bell Learning Program for the summer of 2008. Since then I have been a private tutor working mostly with students who struggle with reading, spelling and comprehension, but I am open to working with students in math and science as well.
I loved teaching in the classroom setting and will probably go back to that someday, but I have found a real passion and excitement these last two years working one-on-one with students. I en ... read more
