One thing I discovered about myself recently was that I have a passion for teaching. I love the idea of imparting knowledge and sharing what you have learned to other people, children in particular. There is nothing more rewarding than becoming part of somebody's learning process and intellectual growth. My teaching style involves active involvement from the student, making sure that they're getting the point and learning to apply the concepts in various situations. I believe that with the right motivation and learning approach, any student can be successful regardless of mental capacity. I also have experience teaching the developmentally challenged. I graduated from the top university in the Philippines with a bachelor's degree in Psychology. My career path was towards medical school so my background includes expertise in biology, chemistry, mathematics and some physics. I am also

I am a compassionate teacher who promotes an encouraging learning environment so that my client will excel in the subject matter. Not only do I address the weaknesses that the student has in the specific subject, but I provide useful study skills and self-help practices that will enable the student to excel outside of the tutoring environment. All of my students begin to enjoy the learning material and in turn make great progress in their academic work. During my undergradaute education, I began tutoring children aged grade K-12 in math, science and reading. My biology undergraduate degree has provided me with extensive skills in Physics, Chemistry, Math, biology, as well as all basic science material. I have also earned my Master's in Public Health which solidified my writing skills in the process of writing research papers and essays in a broad array of topics. I have tutored students

Working with children is such a joy! I really enjoy being able to observe the moment the "lightbulb" comes on. During the past three years, I have had the privilege of working as a substitute teacher in two different school districts, and have instructed students ranging in level from kindergarten to high-school. My teaching style is a blend of positive praise, firmness and creativity. Whether working one-on one or with a group, I do my best to always present the material using logical, fun and varied methods to ensure my students' understanding. My hope is that they, like myself, will continue on as life-long learners, able to impart their precious knowledge with others. In reality, I have been tutoring almost since I could read or write. The first tutoring job I held was in elementary school. After graduating from elementary school, I did my first two years of secondary educatio

Earning my BA degree and Teaching Credential from SDSU, I also have units equivalent to a Master's in curriculum development and health information. Recognized as an outstanding and dedicated teacher by parents and students, I have successfully taught primary, upper grades and junior high. In addition, I instructed high school students in preparation for the SAT test in reading comprehension, vocabulary development, and all areas of language arts. I set up and directed an after-school tutoring program for K-7th grades to help students needing help with organizational and study skill, test-taking techniques and appropriate academic support. Success was reflected in higher test scores, improved grades and increased self-confidence.

During my undergraduate career, I was a teaching assistant for Physical Science and General Biology for two years. My responsibilities included teaching several lectures, the grading and any extra assistance needed by the students. After graduating, I taught High School chemistry for the Biola STAR program. During this time, I also tutored at a learning center in Fullerton. In 2007, I taught 3 sections of general chemistry lab at CSULB. I then moved to the education department at the Aquarium of the Pacific, and worked with the public there for 4 months before moving into a management position. I have obtained my B.S. in Biochemistry, and am currently pursuing my M.S. in Biology at Loma Linda University. Teaching is one of my passions, and I intend to teach at the college level after obtaining my M.S. My fourth grade teacher sparked my love of science at an early age; she was so excited

I am a 'relaxed' teacher, but maintain - or try to maintain - a good study pace. The individual I may be tutoring may require different approaches to try and learn the material at-hand; however, I have always found that with a positive attitude and a constructive approach to any learning 'issue' the solution is normally found between both the student and the tutor (as to the best study method works for the individual at-hand). As an undergraduate student at the University of California Santa Barbara I found and nurtured a love to pass-on learned experiences to others. The program I was heavily involved with was named MESA (Mathematics, Engineering, and Science Achievement). Being an engineer, I tutored students at different High Schools and found great pleasure in seeing how other kid's faces could 'sparkle,' when they found-out that they could solve problems which they may have not even

I am a huge advocate for the theory of multiple intelligences. I believe every child is capable, its just a matter of figuring out how they process information. Academic success is just one measure of growth, but whole learning is what I consider true success and I believe when the whole child is taught that academic success will invariably follow. I am Queen Patience and Queen enthusiasm. It's almost impossible not to get excited and energized when I'm around and involved. Most importantly, I teach people more than a subject, I teach them how to learn, and that is what a lifetime of success needs. Having been reading since I was two it was a natural progression of events that, despite my dyslexia, I completed my BA in English Literature and thereby am intimately acquainted with all of the generas, nuances, and demands that true literacy requires.

Learning to teach at age sixteen taught allowed me to develop my teaching style into a mature and planned method. I have taught dance classes, summer camps, and tutoring sessions. The diversity of the teaching subjects gave me insight into how students learn various material and how, for an individual group or student, a teaching style must be molded. I am an astute tutor who listens to the needs of her students and can be both patient and encouraging, varying my style in response to the needs of those I am with. Paying such close attention to my students responses I have guided many students on the path to success through the means they deemed for me to work for them. Pursuing a competitive major at a prestigious research institution required dedication, responsibility and excellence. These developed attributes lead me to graduate with a BS with honors and distinction in the major

I am versed in the California Content Standards across curriculums and have passed my CBEST, as well as my CSET. Fair, firm and consistent are my mantras of classroom management. In that, I believe that all children deserve a safe, clean, engaging, yet structured environment in which to meet their full potential. I firmly believe that learning is a team affair, and practice the standards of cooperative learning.

My hope is to provide students with the same attention, patience, and care that some professors have been able to provide me. I have seen professors that teach effectively, but I have also seen how some teachers can be horrible due to selfish, impatient behavior. My experiences as a TA, teaching non-biology majors how to think like a biologist, can be a difficult task. It often deals with teaching students material that they do not think is important. A crucial aspect of teaching is not only adapting to the student's learning style, but also helping the student understand the value of learning. Through my experiences at UCLA, I developed the desire to impact those around me through teaching. My ultimate goal is to become a professor so that I can give back to people just as previous professors have impacted me. Through my BS in Biology at UCLA and my current MS at CSUF, I understan

Through this program, I have grasped extensive knowledge not only in these subjects, but how they can be applied to one another in real life situations. Throughout my time at Whittier College, I also took a multitude of “writing intensive” courses, geared towards the advancement of each individual’s writing and grammar skills in a variety of subjects. I have previously tutored students ages 4-16 in science (ecology, biology, physics, chemistry), math and English. Throughout the last 7 years, I have instructed children and teens in a variety of subjects.
