More About This Tutor...

My teaching style focuses on the student and his/her struggles. I really try to make the student understand the topic at hand and how to study it effectively. Studying techniques are very important and I introduce those techniques to the student. I really guide the student step-by-step through his/her struggles and to build their confidence. I change their mentality to a positive one. I enjoy working with others and I use all the resources that I can to make the student understand the topic. I usually give extra practice problems and I really challenge the students thinking pattern to make sure they understand the topic.
I have experience working with children and tutoring high school students on multiple subjects (math and science). I have also tutored in subjects such as economics and how to study effectively. I have taught subjects in small group settings as well. I hol ... read more

More About This Tutor...

In 1983 I completed an ESL teacher training course at Stanford University, and subsequently was hired to teach English in Japan. I made heavy use of the prevailing ideas in ESL teaching at that time. More recently, in designing teaching materials for middle and high school students, I have attempted to map my lessons to the cognitive skills identified in Bloom's taxonomy.
Over the past decade I have also prepared science curriculum materials (middle and high school) for Glencoe McGraw-Hill, Gale Thomson, Pearson and John Wiley. I am the author of The Globalization of Trade, an introduction to the economics of globalization for young readers (published in 2004). Most of my curriculum writing has been science-related, but I have also prepared articles in other areas for Gale Thomson's reference books. My academic training was in the physical sciences (physics, chemistry). I ear ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a graduate from Santa Clara University, I earned a BS degree in Chemistry, emphasis in biochemistry, which has enabled me to gain an understanding in many areas of math and science. Along with three years of experience working as a Chemist in the industry, I was able to explore different areas of chemistry and became an expertise in organic chemistry and chemical engineering. I also have learned extensive writing skills to produce research papers and laboratory reports. In addition to my science background, I am also a very passionate volunteer teacher at a Sunday school for the past seven years, teaching catechism to the children at my church.
I love teaching and working with all children. I understand the concept of multiple intelligence and that every child learn in different ways, this is what makes it interesting and challenging to work with children. I am very organized, a ... read more
