A Little Bit About Me...

Working as a High School English teacher for seven years, in Alternative Education, has greatly honed my skills in assisting students to excel. Teaching critical thinking skills to those struggling to grasp concepts, provides great benefit in every subject area. I have used my expertise in reading and writing to open doors for others as they begin to learn, in confidence, and strengthen their own skills. Aside from substitute teaching--whereby I have taught every subject area, I have, as a full-time teacher, taught a variety of English classes (literature and writing) and a psychology elective.
I believe that every person has a specific set of gifts, talents and abilities that is unique to each of us. Education, through its varied forms, is vital in the process of equipping children with the ability to grow and walk in their fullness so that they are confident in contributing t ... read more

I noted that if students needed Biology assistance, they often needed Chemistry assistance also, so the basics of that had to be included in order for topics like macromolecules and cellular respiration to make any true sense at all. I have substitute taught for the past four years, and conducted two graduate field studies.
I strive to make connections to real life by using real specimens when possible, familiar situations, manipulatives, current events, and such to facilitate comprehension. ... read more

More About This Tutor...

From my doctoral training at UCLA I became an expert within the biological sciences, and have been trained to teach complex concepts to people of diverse background. I mentored undergraduates within the lab, which involved teaching important concepts and technical procedures, and helping develop their oral and written communication skills through the generation of presentations and lab reports. I was a Teaching Assistant for undergraduate courses where I led discussion sections and composed and graded quizzes and exams. Lastly, I was a Graduate Student Mentor within the Undergraduate Research Center/Center for Academic Research Excellence, where I administered tailored workshops and one-on-one meetings to students of diverse background.
My main goal is to provide students with tools that will advance them personally and professionally. To achieve this, students need to understand h ... read more
