I am a patient, kind and skilled teacher. I believe that students learn the best when they are able to ease the stress surrounding their challenging subjects. I approach tutoring by meeting students wherever they are in their understanding, and help build their confidence and self trust in the subject. I am skilled at presenting difficult topics from a variety of perspectives. I am available most times and am happy to meet at your home or a local cafe or library. Check out my website too! www.berkeleytutor.net I have experience tutoring high school and college students in Math, English, Social Studies, Science and Accounting. I have tutored for over 2 years publicly, and tutored my friends and younger sister for the past decade.

Throughout my education at UCLA, I took an avid and broad interest in all subjects, and finally chose to complement a degree in International Development with a smattering of engineering physics and multi-variable calculus. My work and extra-curricular experience has been broad and challenging. I've researched crime statistics for a professor's book, helped lead an international development student group, volunteered in Guatemala, studied abroad in Ghana, and currently work as a Head of Marketing for a small company. My strengths are a commitment to quality, communication skills, writing ability, and a broad familiarity with scientific subjects and an uncanny ability to multiply in my head. I scored in the 98th percentile on the LSAT. As a ski instructor, I've worked with children aged 3 - 12. Parents frequently praised my patience and ability to remain a calm, controlled and enthusiasti

My energy, enthusiasm and passion for learning and teaching are unparalleled. I believe that all children learn differently. Therefore, I would not limit to one teaching style, and would adjust accordingly. My goal is to share my knowledge with children, providing the best eduction and leading them to academic success. Being a Statistics and Economics graduate, I have developed a strong statistics and math background. Throughout my academic life in UC Davis, I have devoted a great deal of time to analyze numerical and categorical data and have explored different statistical fields. Moreover, in leisure time, I volunteered at learning skill center, helping other students in need of assistant in economics, statistics, and mathematics classes.

I think one of my greatest strengths as a tutor is my patience with students. I am very attentive to the frustrations that students sometimes undergo and I continue to work with students until they understand the concepts of the lesson, often trying different approaches until I find one that works for that student. I believe strongly in the idea that all students have the ability to learn, and that it is necessary to make learning interactive and relevant. I feel that it is important to encourage students, but I also pride myself on not offering empty praise, but rather pushing students to be able to explain how they came to an answer or conclusion. I believe students learn best in a supportive and comfortable environment, which is aided by my easy-going and friendly manner. My first tutoring experience actually began when I was a high school senior and tutored ESL students at South High

I was a Graduate Teaching Associate at Ohio State Uinversity Math Department, teaching college math recitation sections including Calculus and Pre-calculus courses from 1987 to 1993. Starting from 2009 till present time I have been a substitute math teacher in West Contra Costa Unified School District and I was an volunteer academic tutor for El Cerrito High School After School Program in 2009. Through the years that I taught I have developed an understanding of students' trouble in learning and could explain the details of material in a way well acceptable to students. I love teaching and working with high school and middle school students. I believe every child has ability to learn math though their learning styles are different. I am patient and hard working.

I left the business world in 1999 to make good on my goal of completing my degree and teaching. I wanted the strongest foundation possible, so I chose General Studies, sometimes known as "Humanities." Since getting my first credential in 2002, I have taught in a wide variety of classroom settings, including having my own classroom for both Elementary and Middle School. I have taught as a substitute and permanent teacher in Special Education classrooms. I have taught Math, Science and Language Arts. I like teaching. I like teaching individuals. I enjoy the challenge of adapting my style and my information to the unique set of skills and experiences that each individual brings along with them. No two people are alike. So I try not to teach each student as if she is just like the last guy. What is called the "Affective Filter" is what I deal with most: that is the part of each student that

As an UC Berkeley graduate, I was very much driven to achieve a high level of excellence in education. I have earned my B.A. in Biology and a minor in Chemistry, which has enabled me to gain an understanding in many areas of math and science. During the years I was pursuing my degree, I also worked as a private tutor for all level of children, mostly from grade 9 to 12, with their math, physics, chemistry and biology, and help them achieve their educational goals. I believe all children can learn, but each in different ways; all children could achieve their goals, with the appropriate surroundings and help. Therefore, for each student I work with, the first thing I always do is to find out the goal and need, then make a specialized study plan. As the tutoring goes along, I would also work with the teacher and keep tract of the student's progress, to make necessary adjustment of the plan

Wanting to teach is the major reason I got my PhD. I've always had a love of learning, and want to be able to share that with students. It is important to understand that all students are different and no one approach will work for all students. In my experience teaching both as a lecturer and on an individual basis, when dealing with a student one-on-one, the student and the tutor need to be equal partners in the session. The focus needs to be on what the student is having trouble with and the tutor acting as a guide. As someone who has benefited from excellent teachers in my education, I try to use what I have learned from them in my teaching. The most important part of teaching is to make the student want to learn and feel engaged. I started my teaching experience as a hired math tutor for the University of Maryland while I was getting my BS in Civil Engineering. While pursuing

My number one goal in teaching has always been to improve the students approach and mentality. All most every student I have tutored had the hidden, raw talent to succeed in school, but either lacked the desire or the vision to do so. I want students to see problems and concepts like how I do. I want them to be able to see all the options when tackling a tough Math problem or see all the implications when considering cell organelles. I also teach them that they have to mentally prepare themselves to be in it for the long run. I teach them how to plan, so they don't burn out by the time finals come up. I graduated UCB with a 3.9 and everything I teach I practice myself. As a pre-med at UC Berkeley, I have a vast experience with in the basic sciences. I fell in love with Molecular Biology because of how integrated the field was. Everything was connected in some way or another. To complete

I have been a substitute teacher for about 10 years specializing in math & physics. I have a BS in Mechanical Engineering plus 20+ years of maintenance/engineering experience. I incorporate practical examples in teaching to give students in depth knowledge in a practical sense. I gather my examples from my varied career experiences from the Military, Aircraft, Engineering, Manufacturing/Maintenance & Computer fields. I sporadically tutors students in my specialty. I use the Active Participation strategy because it engages the learner not only in understanding but in contributing as well. This active learning process combined with introduction of practical uses/examples of the the subject matter provides a deeper meaning. But most of all the Objective,Purpose,and what their interests are, must be known so that these can be incorporated in the learning process.

I am passionate, driven, funny, and determined. "I have a never-ending smile". I am a good listener. I have a strong ability to explain things in a way that will grasp the attention of someone non-versed in a certain subject. This is because I explain things in detail without making one feel inferior. Also, I like asking the tutee questions to engage the student and to ensure that the student understands the topic. I then ask the tutee to summarize what I have said after I explain something. This is an effective way to keep the student's attention. Overall, my goal is to tutor students so that they learn. Students are in good hands with me because I am driven to succeed. As a graduate of UC Berkeley, I have a passion of helping others. During my freshman year in Calculus, I grasped the subject matter pretty well and volunteered to assist peers with homework problems. I en

As everyone else touts, I can also relate to young adults. My method is simple and effective. I solve problems with my students. As I solve problems I explain the underlying concept/strategy/trick behind the problem. After explaining all the concepts my students and I go through as many problems as possible. I tweak their approach, and if necessary explain again the necessary concept. There is a lot of drilling involved. I assign very small homework assignments so that we do not "start fresh" each session. I earned my BS in computer science from Washington University. I have prepared three high school students for the SAT. They ended up at Cornell, American, and UCSD. I have also prepared two middle school students for the SSAT. I have taught JAVA and English to high school students as well. I possess strong writing skills. I recognize good writing. I can improve a student'
