I enjoy teaching and working with children and feel that it is important to understand that not all students learn the same way. I feel that my college experience has taught me to discover the ways I learn and understand things. In that sense I feel that all students have the potential to succeed if they acknowledge and become aware of their appropriate manner of learning. I think that being patient, compassionate and understanding is a must, which I feel I can bring fourth as a tutor and mentor. Doing community service in high school to my college years I have always enjoyed working and helping others because of the rewarding feeling that you can make a difference in someone's life.
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. ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Prior to becoming a tutor, I was a life coach for seven years. While I have worked with a variety of clients and have helped them achieve many different goals, my specialty has been helping people with chronic illnesses and emotional challenges such as depression and bipolar disorder heal their spirits so they can find peace and joy. While I'm not a published author yet, I am writing a book to help people who face the same challenges my clients face. Prior to becoming a life coach, I was a software engineer and manager in Silicon Valley for 27 years.
When learning is a positive, enjoyable, and rewarding experience for children, they learn material much more easily and they retain it much longer than they do when it's not. I make learning a rewarding experience for my students by genuinely acknowledging their effort and their progress; I make it enjoyable by often adding humor to m ... read more

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.
As an Ivy League graduate, the son of a professor, and the husband of a professor, I have a deep love of learning and teaching. With a BA in Psychology and an MA in Interdisciplinary Studies, I have been professionally involved in teaching, training, t ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I love to learn and to teach others. I have had many teachers (in 2 different countries) and I have noticed that there are many that are VERY good at their subject, but they cannot teach it well to their students which I think should be as important. As a Math tutor I heard that comment often about some teachers. Patience and time is crucial and so is relating theoretical problems to practical problems and/or relating them to something the students can relate to. I am a good listener, easy going, give a lot of encouragements, and joke around which all helps the learning experience. I believe everybody can learn and excel in good environments.
I have tutored fellow students, my son's friends, my friends, and family up through the years. Officially I have worked as a Math tutor individually and in the Math Center, and corrected math homework at the local college for 2 semesters. I ... read more

I learned at a young age that everyone is different when it comes to learning. My goal as a teacher is to learn the student’s needs and apply a curriculum that will help the student reach their potential. I have great communication skills and I love to communicate with my students I ask them question to get to know them. I am very responsible, and understanding.
I graduated from the University of California Santa Barbara two years ago with two degrees in Spanish Literature and Women’s Studies I graduated with honors from both subjects of study. Through these two different programs I have learned language, reading, writing, grammatical skills due to the extensive reading and writing I did. I will say that my strongest skills are Spanish language, reading and writing. I am currently tutoring students to improve their reading skills in a High School setting.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a teacher of 20 years. My experience includes elementary, middle, and high school. I also taught for one year overseas. I have 3 years experience working as a tutor. I possess a Bachelor of Arts in History and a Bachelor of Science in Social Studies Education. During the past 5 years I have worked at a self-paced charter school working with the program ALS. Although my expertise is in social studies, I'm perfectly capable of teaching algebra and language. I also have years of experience in the classroom.
I would describe my teaching style as flexible. I believe that students learn differently and it's up to the teacher to adjust accordingly. My greatest asset as a teacher is my patience. If a student doesn't get it it's no problem. We just do it again and perhaps in a different manner. I do believe that all students are capable of learning and it's up to the teacher to lead th ... read more

I have taught at an adult school for a summer while I was getting me credential. It was very rewarding helping people receive their GED and better their lives.I also interned at a Junior High, teaching math. Once I received my credential, I worked at an independent study program for at risk students and again felt great about making a difference in these student's lives. I also got my masters in Psychology and my multiple subject credential at this time. Once I got engaged, I knew I would be moving but still wanted to teach, so currently I teach online math to 7-12 graders.

I derive a lot of pleasure from communicating with my students and helping them with problem solving in Math and Physics, especially on a one-on-one basis. I am open, patient and interactive. Instead merely providing answers to a problem, I like to ask questions that inspire my students and help them develope a thought process for similar problems in the future. I am also a very easy going person and I believe in building the students confidence by giving constructive feedbacks along the way. A lot of us have encountered problems with Science in high school and college. With my indepth knowledge in Physics and Math and years of experience in teaching, I believe I can make a positive difference to the community.
