As an Application Engineer for a research company, it was my resposaability to train, instruct and give seminars on the material currently in vogue in Semiconductor, Biology, Physics, and Geology in materials to be analyzed. These seminars were meant to instruct and inform researchers of the techniques available. Most seminars were at colleges and universities in the U.S. and overseas. I began to wind down my travels and explored the potential of teaching locally. For the past three years I have been a substitute teacher in Tuolumne County district as well as 4 seminars every year. I had no intention of teaching when I started my career in Psychology and the Analytical Chemistry industry. I continuously tried to improve my methadology to arrive at the right mix of stimulation and information to make the learning process as interesting as possible.

People are always surprised when they find out I'm a math nerd. I'm outgoing, I like to joke and I play sports. But believe it or not, I actually do enjoy math and this is one of the biggest reasons for my success as a tutor/teacher. I don't fake my enthusiasm and this helps engage students. I like to think of myself as fun and I like to make a joke here and there. I believe that a lot of times, less is more when it comes to teaching math. I try to do as little leading as possible when helping students solve problems so that they will be best equipped in the future to solve on their own. I have always enjoyed teaching and I love sharing success with others. I graduated Magna Cum Laude from USC with a degree in Business and have spent six years as an actuary working in a professional and math-oriented field for major firms (Blue Shield and Mercer). I have a strong background in

My style is to teach a concept during the one on one session with me. I then give them homework to reinforce the learning on personal time. In the following meeting I revise what we learnt in previous session to ensure they understood before proceeding to next topic. I work with students with different learning styles (pictures, words and numbers) and will adapt to their needs. I am patient and will explain numerous times, in different ways, to ensure learning. During my undergraduate years, I was tutoring a local grade 4 student in math. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience in making a difference in somebody's life. During the last 15 years in my career, I have always been involved in training/teaching/mentoring individuals whether it is a new computer system or helping my direct staff to grow to their full potential.

Math and biological sciences have always been subjects, which have interested me. I have graduated from UCLA with a BS in Applied Mathematics and during my undergraduate studies I also took several biology courses. Following graduation, I worked at prep center for high school students where I taught and tutored students in math from algebra to calculus. Additionally during my last two years of high school, I tutored math before, during, and after school; during this time I also tutored privately in math and biology. I enjoy working with students and helping them understand math and science. I believe it is important to understand the concepts behind the problems. I take the time to explain the concepts that challenge the students through examples. I give the students steps to follow to solve the problem and for word problems I teach them how to pick out key information needed in order to

I finished BS Civil Engineering at MIT, Philippines, which has provided me gain an excellent knowledge in many areas of mathematics and physical science. My over 10 years experience and trainings in teaching higher level math enable me to help and teach students in subjects like algebra, trigonometry, geometry, pre-calculus, and physics. Children differ greatly to acquire knowledge depending on their learning styles and background. So it is very important to identify the student's skills and understanding and to create a conducive learning environment. I enjoy working with children and I want to provide the best I can to make a differnce in their lives. I find fulfillment to see them succeed.

I believe student engagements is the key to learning. Hence I use various EDI strategies to ensure students are engaged in learning math concepts. I believe in group work and collaborations. I believe in modeling a math concept and right away checking for understanding. I use white boards, random selection and think-pair-share to stimulate learning in my students and check for their understanding. I have had 4 years of teaching experience, of which the first years I subbed for the Turlock Unified School District in various grades. I was teaching and going to school to receive my teaching credential in math education. I can teach up to Geometry in highschool. I have passed the first two CSET tests for mathematics.
