Caring and Loving. Visual, providing examples in a real-world context. Teaching in a style that the student understands best!
I graduated at second to the top of my High School Class. I have a 4.0 GPA with ASU. I believe in being strict about studying. I believe in taking education seriously. Why have to back track? Many people could easily get good grades without applying studying or being in class. I always worked very hard to organize studying techniques and times so I understand the challenges that students face a lot of times.

Composition is one of my top subjects! For academic purpose and general life experience.

I have been English teacher in China since 1994. During which, I have traveled to UK, USA< Canada, Japan, Australia, Germany and Italy and many other European countries in the past few years. I have come to settle down in US temporary for my further adventure in the land which used to be appealing to many visitors from outside world. I went to many linguistic conferences held around the world and I made my special observation to this world which is still full of mystery to most of us from China. I would like to meet you in Tucson of Arizona if you happen to like China and its language. I can teach you the language with different perspective on its implication and expressions. A the same time, being a visiting scholar to the University of Arizona, I feel I have much time to deal with my rest of free time in here and I would like to get involved in daily life in Tucson so that I can know t ... read more

My comments on tutoring Composition : The importance of composition is to help develop one's thoughts on any subject. The creative process needs a good framework to help present those ideas for others to follow. The importance of using only one's own ideas or the importance of giving credit to others when you site their work is also important to emphasize.

I have worked in several different types of industries from hotels, restaurants, travel, mortgage companies, transportation, banks, theater, real estate and other primarily service businesses. Most of my interests lie in the financial and accounting parts of these businesses because of the importance of not only being able to present an accurate picture of the company's condition at only one time, but also to make sure that there were no mistakes, thefts being covered up, or other discrepancies. Very large companies have had loans go bad due to the improper accounting of transactions by the business owners.
My teaching style needs to respond to the needs of the individual. There are several styles of learning so I need to understand the individual to best know how to teach them the skills they need to pass the course.

More About This Tutor...

I became interested in tutoring and teaching as an undergraduate. I began as a basic chemistry tutor, but quickly worked my way up to a lead tutor position. I then took on the responsibility of being a T.A. in both the chemistry lecture class as well as lab. After graduating college, my career led me on a path of training teachers, developing curriculum for schools and teachers, and finally into the position I am now, as a K-5 Technology Instructor. As such, I have an understanding of chemistry, biology, math, technology, and have extensive grammatical and writing skills and have tutored students in all of these areas.
I feel that my style of teaching is student centered. I am a facilitator to the learning process. Any student who chooses to learn can and will, however some students need more motivation than others. Thus, I take the time to hear about and understand what my ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style is flexible to the student’s needs. Initially, I access at what level the student is currently performing and the best way they absorb information. My lesson plans are often individually tailored to the interests of the student. For instance, If I have a student who hates to read, I find reading material on a subject they do enjoy (such as Professional Wrestling). I enjoy introducing new subject matter, ideas and practical applications to add excitement to a lesson. For instance, in a session on factions, I may use measuring cups and baking tools so the student can have hands on comprehension. I am passionate about creating my students’ interest, confidence and success in the academic world.
I come from a family of teachers who believe in excellence in higher education. My BA in Journalism from a liberal arts university and a Certificate in Graphic Design have giv ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style is to make sure that those I am helping understand what is being talked about. If they do not, we will keep working at it until clear. Since all teaching ways do not work for all students, I try to figure out what would work best for those I am currently tutoring, so that they will succeed.
I have tutored through the organization Literacy Volunteers in Flagstaff and Lake Havasu. Additionally, I tutored English in a refugee camp in Zambia, when I was with the Peace Corps. While living in Bangladesh, I tutored adults and children in English, as well as other subjects. I taught for three years in Bangladesh at International Turkish Hope School.

My forte is science and math, which are often students' least favorite subjects, due to earlier difficulty. A solid basic understanding of these subjects is critical to being an independent, engaged adult; and it's just plain cool to understand how the world works! I enjoy removing the fear and guiding the students to increase their competence and self-confidence. I am funny, enthusiastic and know how to use the student's background as a "hook" to pull them into the subject.
I have a BA in Psychology, MS in Zoology and BS in Computer Science. I have lifetime Arizona Community College certification in psychology, biology, ecology and remedial math. My experience with special populations includes: three years full-time on the Navajo Reservation; three years part-time at the SALT Center at the University of Arizona working with learning disabled students; and a hands-on nature camp ... read more
