A Little Bit About Me...

I have been a straight-A student my entire life and I recently graduated from the University of New Hampshire with a 4.0 GPA. I earned my B.S. in Physics (Astronomy emphasis) with a minor in Applied Mathematics. Though my expertise lies in mathematics and the sciences, I am also knowledgeable in topics ranging from history to English grammar and composition. Much of my academic success is due to my ability to prepare for exams. I scored a 32 on the ACT, as well as perfect scores of 800 on the SAT2 Writing and GRE Mathematics exams. I gained teaching-related experience during my year as an Instructional Assistant, in which I assisted students with math, science, English, and GED exam preparation. At the college level, I spent 2.5 years tutoring in physics, math, and astronomy, as well as a semester in a college-level general physics class working as a teaching assistant.

More About This Tutor...

I love Mathematics and I often wear my heart on sleeve; when it comes to Math, I try to infect the student with that bug. I believe that most students have issues with their immediate teaching and, as a result, feel that math has no meaning to them, hence I teach Mathematics in a contextual manner, showing deep meaning for the drills imposed in the classroom curriculums most experience daily. I stress heuristic analysis techniques that have shown great results
I have tutored HS 9-12 and undrgraduate students individually in Mathematics, Chemistry, Biology, Physics and for SAT/ACT testing since the late 1990's. I received teaching credentials for teaching 9-12 Mathematics in California in 2005. I have worked as a Math/Sciences substitute in the Grossmont Union High School District since that time. I have also worked with A+ Professional Tutoring -- in San Diego County -- and Tutor.c ... read more

As a Master’s degree recipient in English, I have developed a comprehensive background in literature and composition. Moreover, my professional history includes many years of teaching and mentoring in both in the United States and abroad, which has enhanced my ability to communicate complex subject matter to a culturally varied student demographic. In Taipei, Taiwan, I prepared, facilitated and assessed English classes for local elementary, secondary, and adult Taiwanese students. While receiving my NCLB certified CLAD credential from SDSU, I served an inner-city population of students as a student teacher at San Diego High School, during which I had implemented and practiced effective teaching strategies to accommodate students with special needs and English Language Learners. I have since earned a CSET certification in general science and have designed technologically advanced units of ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am currently a Post Graduate student at UCSD. I have been tutoring for the past 3-4 years. I have primarily tutored High School and Undergraduate students. My area of expertise is Math. I can tutor any math up until Advanced Calculus.
I primarily focus on concepts and fundamentals. Most often I try to follow the instructors teaching style so the student can go to the class and does not feel lost. Although sometimes, I try different techniques based on how well the student is doing. I am very patient and I try my best to keep the session interesting and also at times challenging.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a patient teacher that understands that some concepts are not easily understood and simply repeating yourself without changing your tack will not bring about understanding. Providing real world examples that are relevant to a student's interests is one powerful way to encourage learning. With regards to math and science, I've often found that abstract theoretical concepts are more difficult to understand, whereas practical examples are more easy to visualize. Whenever possible, I try to create scenarios that apply in the real world so that the student can understand and apply the concept in the future.

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe it is better to establish classroom guidelines first, and at the same time establish a good relationship with my students, to get through the work that the students need to do, then relax a bit to have fun with learning. I enjoy being in the classroom or tutoring one-on-one, and based on feedback from students, parents and other teachers, students enjoy working with me as well. I consider these testimonies proof I am an effective teacher and tutor.
With 2 Masters Degrees in both business and education, and having taught different levels of mathematics for University of Phoenix Online for the past 3 years, I offer strong training background. Additionally, working for San Dieguito Unified HS District and La Jolla Country Day School as a substitute teacher for the past two years, I have learned to quickly develop rapport with middle and high school students.

A Little Bit About Me...

My goal in teaching is to ensure that my students have a strong understanding of the subject and do not just follow a formula or recite rote knowledge. In addition to explaining concepts, I like to use models and present example problems with which the student can demonstrate his grasp of the topic. If one explanation does not make sense to a student, I try different ones until it finally "clicks". I am a patient instructor and bring an enthusiastic attitude to teaching, since I've found through experience that the best teachers are those who communicate excitement and interest.

A Little Bit About Me...

Most of my students are at-risk or attention deficit students, so I employ a style where I emphasize a good set of basic skills and knowing why we use the techniques we utilize. Most of my methods are visual and I emphasize laying down the structure of the solution when useful. I always tell why each step is used. If they know the why, then math becomes intuitive and not just memorized. My methods have been extremely successful and I have tutored many of my co-workers children, including the district manager's son.
I worked as a math tutor as a student worker during my last 3 years of college while working on my BS in Computer Science until 2004. I had previously studied at the Milwaukee School of Engineering and had an extensive background in Math. I taught at a Catholic High School, Messmer, for one year after graduation until 2005, before returning to ITT as an adj ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Teaching is a great way to educate and to learn. As a tutor, first, I see the student’s understanding level. I plan ahead of time and prepare proper material. However, if the material is provided, I find effective methods of teaching, and teach each student accordingly. It’s obvious that some techniques work better for some students but not others. Therefor, I choose a good teaching method, and assist students to learn the material better, faster and easier.
As a recent graduate of San Diego State University with a Bachelor of Science in Biology and minor in Psychology, I have taken many classes in biology, physics, algebra, psychology, chemistry as well as organic chemistry.

A Little Bit About Me...

I love teaching others and helping them excel at difficult subjects such as mathematics, chemistry and physics. With my broad background I can relate to almost any individual and find the right approach to teaching difficult subjects in a manner he/she will understand.
Most difficult subjects are so because of apprehensions or stigmas one might form throughout his/her experiences. I make learning fun and can break down mental barriers one might have by relating the abstract material to concrete real-world examples.
