A Little Bit About Me...

My dominant teaching style is connecting with students on a personal level. During my time as a mentor at Marina Del Rey, I enjoyed developing a relationship with my mentee inside and outside of the classroom, and I truly believe this helped him excel. I like to take a firm, but fun approach to tutoring, and I always challenge my students to try their hardest to complete a problem and not automatically defer to receiving help from the tutor. Patience and student empowerment are vital aspects of successful tutoring.
Through my education at UCLA, I developed a solid foundation in math and science, while completing my BS in Bioengineering. Additionally, I have well developed communication and grammar skills for an engineer due to several extracurricular activities, which required me to write time-sensitive documentation and reports. My tutoring experience comes from 2 years of vo ... read more

I first discovered my love for teaching in high school. I excelled in many areas and helped my fellow students learn. As I furthered my education, my passion for teaching grew and my style changed. I have molded my favorite, and most effective, professor's techniques into my own hybrid. I use humor and compassion to develop the student's understanding. I try to teach to the student and not at them. I teach study habits that will help them learn more effectively on their own.
I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Chemisty with a minor in statistics. As an undergraduate, I tutored middle-schoolers in science and math as a volunteer at a local school. I was recently a substitute teacher, teaching all ages and in areas such as the biological sciences, algebra, calculus and psychology. I currently tutor a college student in mathemtics.

I thoroughly enjoy working and education children. Whether it is on the basketball court or in the classroom, teaching children how to succeed and learn has always been a passion of mine. While each student has his or her own way of learning new material, there are several components of teaching that can aide in this process. For example, constant encouragement, constructive feedback, and consistent enthusaism can have a tremendous impact on the ability of a student to learn. I strive to help each student reach the potential that they do not always see in themselves. As someone who took their education seriously, I look forward to enlightening students on the importance of a good education in today's society.
During my last four years I have been given several opportunities to interact and educate students of all ages. Working with the Upward Bound Program I tutored high school stu ... read more

I believe there are many different styles of learning. It is my job to find out which styles your student uses to learn and implement teaching methods that cater to those styles. This creates an environment where your student will feel successful in his or her learning. I am all for whatever it takes to make your child the most successful and satisfied learning that he or she is destined to be. Along with this belief, my mannerisms are patient and understanding so that your child will not experience a negative environment in their learning process.

I next worked as a long-term substitute teacher for a year. I was then offered a full-time, permanent teaching position as a fourth grade elementary sc ... read more
