I love Science!

I use a mixture of Socratic methodology, direct instruction, worked examples and analogies to render difficult conepts understandable to students.
I have a solid educational background in chemistry and my general interest in all aspects of the sciences make me a very well rounded and informed candidate. In attaining my science mastery, I have become very facile at mathematics as well. I have taught Chemistry (General, AP, and Honors), along Space, Geology, Earth and Life Science classes for 12 years both privately and in public high schools here in California and abroad. I easily build rapport with students and have tutored for many years all the way back to 1990. Furthermore, I am authorized to teach Specially Designed Academic instruction in English (SDAIE) courses under SB 2042. Additionally, through my teacher training and years of classroom experience, I am a team player ... read more

In 1995, I began my official tutoring odyssey by assisting my classmates in AP Calculus. Every day during lunch I spent my half-hour helping my fellow high school seniors succeed, ultimately achieving a 4/5 on the AP exam and guiding others to similar grades. Since those days I have tutored in-home and taught mathematics at the private secondary school level, fostering student knowledge of various concepts from arithmetic to calculus. My degree, my passion, is mathematics.
My students often say I can’t be a teacher because they “just get it" when I explain. Even so, my degree is in math and I've taught professionally and privately. I have a history of maintaining high scores and would rather show why something works than how to follow steps. I don't expect students to love math or do it "my way" but I want students to know math isn't scary. To this end, I explain every step, do ass ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe children need to feel success in the classroom. Making a mistake is not necessarily bad. Sometimes making a ton of mistakes is the route to understanding. Repetition is necessary to building strong skills. I try to create a positive environment for learning, stress free. I'm an upbeat individual who's highly motivated to working with students of all ages.
Prior to receiving my BA in Music, I worked for over twenty years in the medical and pharmaceutical field as a medical transcriptionist, medical biller/coder and pharmaceutical technician. I attended many courses to obtain a medical transcription license and pharmaceutical technician license in California. During my early college years, I tutored music students at Diablo Valley College in Pleasant Hill, CA and math students. I made a decision to return back to college to pursue a degree. I graduated from the Univ ... read more

I believe anyone can teach a subject, having enough knowledge of a subject allows one to pass it on. However, I feel what many teachers do not do is teach students how to learn. It is in my belief that teaching students to learn enables them to think independently allowing them to become more creative rather than repetitive. So not only do I teach students the subject, I teach them how to learn and apply it to every other subject.
As a accomplished student, I realized I always had help along the help with achieving academic success. From teachers and counselors to my peers and older students. I began to help other with academics as early as the third grade, however I began to commit to tutoring in High School and continue it through-out college, in hopes to eventually becoming a teacher in the future.

A Little Bit About Me...

As a recent college graduate with a BA in Spanish and a BA in International Affairs, I possess current experiences from my studies in the United States, Europe and South America. Since attending college in Spain and Argentina I understand word usage and vocabulary differences within the Spanish language. Mixed with my superior Spanish skills I am able to discuss and explain political differences in Spanish and explain, on a historical level, how government has evolved internationally. As a past member of the Sacramento Jazz Society I also have a strong background in music both in practice and theory. Since high school, I have tutored others in Spanish, government, music and sports.
I come from a family of teachers and, like my parents, I enjoy helping others and reaching the end goal of aiding a student in attaining their own aspirations both long and short term. I understand ... read more

As a graduate in Sociology I have learned why people do what they do and a self understanding of human actions. I am a driven individual and strive to be the best in all that I do or present. I want everyone that I know to succeed in everything that they do as well. I have tutored elementary to high school students since I was in high school for 2 summers, as well as on the weekends at Susan B. Anthony. I was part of the math, science, and engineering program in High School, as well as president for my class for 3 consecutive years. In addition, I have research, editing, writing, and grammatical skills and I would be a great critique. I never hold anything back.
I love the fact that, as an individual I can or could possible change the way kids learn. I usually want the child to feel comfortable, but yet show them who is in charge. Every child learns in different ways, there ... read more

In my past work experience in law enforcement and the military I came to understand the necessity of possessing good writing skills. I have earned a BA in English which has enabled me to not only improve my own writing skills, but to learn the elements of good writing in order to teach them to others. I have been teaching at the college level for almost two years and one of those years has been teaching college composition.
I absolutely love teaching and thrive on the interaction with my students. I approach teaching on a personal level by relating individually to my students. I make the effort to learn what each student needs as far as learning style and interaction and try to approach each student in that manner. I believe all students are capable of great success with the proper encouragement. The challenge for an educator is to determine the proper encouragement for each ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I taught for twenty five years at the middle school level mostly in a self contained sixth grade classroom. In addition to teaching reading, English, math, science,and social studies, I taught electives is video filming and remedial reading. In my experience as a teacher, I discovered that all students can learn if they are properly motivated. I found that I could best motivate a student if I found what they were interested in, and what grade level they were working at. I also worked for five years as a substitute teacher.
I believe in individualized teaching. In my sixth grade classroom, I individualized instruction wherever possible. In reading I tested my students and placed them in books at their reading level. I had them write reading summaries and corrected their first drafts. In sixth weeks, I retested and in most instances moved students to a higher level. In my ma ... read more

I have my Teaching Credential from CA. I went to a liberal arts college where I earned a BA in Psychology, minor in Spanish, and spent my years there as a tutor or mentor. I studied topics from philosophy to biology, have strong writing skills and did original research. I worked at a non-profit helping students prepare for success in rigorous college prep schools where I taught test taking and organizational skills, along with English and math.

A Little Bit About Me...

Throughout my life, I have always felt very strong about achieving a high level of education. As a older sibling to a child that had a learning disability, I felt it was my responsiblity to help him achieve a high school diploma. From the age of six years old to his senior year in high school, I tutored my brother in all subjects, from math and english to electives. From this experience, I was able to help other children improve their level of education as well.
I enjoy teaching and helping all children. I am a strong believer that all children can be taught all subjects, and should be given the opportunity to do just that. I am always willing to teach the child, in the best way that will help them, whether this be through explanation, or through a hands on approach. Children are our future, and should be given the opportunities to learn.
