I believe that learning Math is really very similar to learning a foreign language. I see my job as helping students to become familiar with the "words" and grammar of math so that they can learn to read, understand, and write the language of numbers. I worked as a Math Tutor throughout college. Since graduating I have occasionally worked with students in a tutoring center and I have helped my own children and their friends in a home setting. I have helped teachers grade homework and I have helped algebra, geometry, and calculus students complete their homework.

I have volunteered English as a Second Language tutoring services through the Santa Barbara Public Library for over two years. My students have come from Mexico, Latvia, and Mongolia. In addition, my most recent paid jobs as a Market Research Analyst/Associate Analyst included Editing/Quality Control duties, focusing on proper grammar, style, and content. I have a passion for the proper use of the English language, both spoken and written, and would relish an opportunity to share that passion with students. Each student is unique and needs to be approached in a unique teaching fashion. I try hard to listen to students and to learn what their goals and needs are. I then tailor the teaching approach to meet those goals and needs, fully believing that if students sense they are being listened to they will also feel motivated to learn. I am patient, able to laugh and feel comfortable around

As a recent college graduate, I am skilled in the most up-to-date research and teaching practices necessary to best aid children in their learning. I have recently taken and passed all of California's tests for teachers and I am well prepared to use my skills. I am young and relatable and have great energy. I enjoy working with children of all ages and skill levels. I strongly believe not only in teaching children the rules and skills necessary to do well in all subject matter, but I also believe it is crucial to instill children with confidence so they will be successful long term. As a college graduate, I have a deep understanding of the kind of hard work and dedication it takes to be successful. As an English major, I wrote extensively. The English program at CSU, Chico gave me the tools necessary to write successfully as well as the knowledge to analyze others' work and my own. In a

I have extensive experience in business management, accounting, marketing, sales, training, lending, and financial analysis through my twenty-five year career in the automobile industry. With demonstrated leadership abilities through my community involvement as a former chairman of the planning commission for a small city, the president of an aviators association, and the local representative for a volunteer support network for the national organization of pilots, the Airplane Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA), I can bring talents to bear that can support a company’s plan to make headway in the current chaotic economic climate.

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. Like everything I do in life, I like to have a plan to go about working through situations. I have had many years as a chemistry tutor and I have come across many di

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.

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. 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 understan

I strongly believe that all mathematical and statistical concepts can be explained and illustrated by the appropriate example. If a student understands how a certain statistical problem looks like in a small example, he or she will be able to describe the problem and the solution in an abstract formulation as well. I put a lot of effort in finding easy examples and then proceed in as little steps as necessary to the more abstract formulation. Also, I make sure to take the student with me on every of these steps. If tutor and student find the right pace, math and statistics can become a fascinating journey. I have enjoyed working with numbers all my life. As a high school student, I took part in international math competitions. Later, I earned a Master’s degree in Mathematics and a Ph.D. in Statistical Genetics. I taught several semester-long practice/lab classes for math majors and a b

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.

In addition to 4 AA’s (in Math, Physics, Chemistry and Liberal Arts emphasis on science, and an almost finished degree in Computer Engineering from Norway, I have taken courses online, through mail, and also practical courses in many fields; all science related (Pilot courses, Auto mechanic written course, Military courses, etc.) 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 impor

Each child has a different learning ability. The best way I feel for success of a child would be a one to one or small group teaching style. This will provide the teacher to student kind of relationship where the teacher may know the level of each student. I try to repeat fundamentals so that students may have a solid foundation to build upon. I believe without a solid foundation a student might struggle harder in advance courses of study. As of May 22, 2009 I became a graduate of California State University, Northridge with a BA degree in Chemistry. As an undergraduate student I performed atmospheric research with Dr. Daniel Curtis along with my duties as a full-time student. As a graduate with a degree in chemistry, we also have studied the other sciences such as physics, biology and mathematics. While a full-time student I volunteered as a religious education teacher.
