My comments on tutoring Science : Academics and professional.

My teaching style depends on the indivual and his/her learning abilities. I believe that anyone can learn a subject if they are moviated and consistant in doing homework and asking quetions.
Experience in teaching and tutoring science, mathematics and English. Strong academic background in mathematics: basic mathematics, algebra, geometry, trigonmentry, calculus and statistics; science: biology, botany, chemistry, genetics, physics and engineering; English: grammar, reading, vocabulary, composition and technical writing, speech and presentations.

Learning can be fun!!

When tutoring, I strive to make lessons engaging, effective and enjoyable. Specifically, I tailor lessons according to an individual student's needs and involve students in a dialogue by asking questions that provoke thought, conversation, and perhaps humor. Because facts and figures are easily looked up in the information age, I place particular emphasis on thinking and on "learning how to learn". My teaching goals for any student are threefold: 1. learn the material (well!) 2. pass the test/subject (with a comfortable margin!), and 3. enjoy it (most challenging with math!).
I love learning and teaching alike. My first teaching experience was in high school when I helped teach inner city children how to swim. Following high school, I earned a bachelor's degree in genetics at UC Berkeley, during which time I worked as a teacher's assistant for a genetics professor. While in m ... read more

I am proud to say that I was able to graduate "Summa Cum Laude" with a grade point average of 4.0 during my Masters and Doctorate college years and "Magna Cum Laude" during my bachelor year.

As one of the few women to be admitted to a well known university in China, based upon my academic abilities, I was chosen to teach University students in the foreign language department for one and one half years. In the past twelve years I have worked in the International Banking arena for foreign and domestic banking institutions. During this time I advanced through the banking ranks to supervisor positions dealing with the various banking laws of each country wherein international transactions were processed on a daily basis. I wish to use my skills as a multi-lingual Asian to teach others as my native country is one of the largest foreign traders with America and the world.

Although I tutored math (geometry, algebra II) and biology in high school, I ended up graduating from UCLA with a BA in Political Science. Somewhat of an about-face in studies, I sought to be more versatile academically and subsequently was enriched with an encompassing and very satisfying social sciences education. Preparation for the degree required "allied field" courses to be taken in other social science classes such as sociology, history, economics and psychology. Courses in statistics and writing were also part of the program. I am well versed to teach math (up to algebra II), biology and any subjects pertaining to social studies (government, economics, world and U.S. history).
One of the key elements of tutoring is communication between the tutor and student. Encouraging discussion instead of lecturing of the subject is important. Facilitating good rapport allows me to ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a passionate and experienced teacher with background in many subject areas. Environmental Biology was my BA major; it included work in botany, zoology (especially but by no means exclusively marine invertebrates) and ecology as well as chemistry, English, physiology and anatomy. I am a musician, an artist, a poet and a naturalist. I have over nine years of experience teaching in institutions throughout the country, such as museums and science centers. I also ran my own business teaching music to preschoolers.
I believe in you, and I believe in our ability to work together. Finding the right way to connect with my students is an exciting challenge. My students have included preschoolers to senior citizens, third world farmers to education professionals. Learning should be structured. Learning should be fun. Whenever appropriate, I use games and activities. Hab ... read more

It is important for me to determine what motivates each student to learn, what their interests are and what is important to them. I wanted the student to see how each lesson was valuable to their future success. I always got my students involved in the classroom with open discussions. Each week my students gave a five minute presentation on a subject of their choise, building their self confidence along with their reading, writing and speaking skills.
After twenty years in the financial area I went back to school to obtain a special education credential and found a passion for teaching. While in school I worked as a teacher's aide at Seaside High School, and taught 5th grade summer school for two years. After completing my education course work I received a contract with Monterey Peninsula Unified School District and taught at Los Arboles Middle School. My middle school stude ... read more

I am a natural teacher, and my experiences reflect that. For example, I am currently working my way through CSU Palm Desert's multiple subject credential. However, the open position I am applying for requires an “Adult Education Writing Tutor”. As a student and professional, I have had many, many opportunities to hone my writing craft. For example, as an adjunct to my recent studies, I took the Masters "Writing 101" class, which instructed me (among other things) in the finery of APA format. While my in-class performances certainly indicates my ability to write at the graduate level, it is also my professional teaching experience that I believe will convince you to allow me to deliver your services: I possess valuable experience working with students, having several years of small classroom leadership (and one-on-one instruction) with adult learners.
