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

What I like about helping people learn more and do better in communicating and expressing themselves is that it gives me a chance to "give back" all that I know in a special way. I teach people how to do things through a method of "learning by doing" with practical (and many times personal experience) exercises. Writing and communicating is a craft that anyone can do if they understand how to "map out" their thoughts and ideas in an outline and then "build from there" filling in the gaps.
I have more than three decades of experience managing and working in marketing, PR, communications, the web, and media relations. In all of that work, I have always been the one "teaching people" how to use technology and computer, as well as how to write anc communicate. My passion, energy, drive, know-how, knowledge, inventiveness, and infectious optimism will all play a key role in me mentoring ... read more

More About This Tutor...

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

I have a passion to make a difference in this world and always go above and beyond what is expected of me. I truly feel that all students must be treated as "dignified, mature, competent human beings. When tutoring them, I ask myself: "Is this the way I would like to be tutored?" I have what it takes to make a difference in a student's life by helping them reach their goals through effective teaching, patience, and a sincere appreciation for the uniqueness of each individual.
In 2002, I earned a B.S. degree in Business Administration with Communications as my minor, which has allowed me to gain an understanding in many areas including business writing, group dynamics, and speech presentation. I have two years of experience teaching adult students the English language with the goal of helping them to develop a basic vocabulary and exposing them to common expressions and construc ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a college graduate, I was extremely driven to achieve a high level of academic excellence. I earned my bachelors degree in Communication Studies with a minor in Philosophy. These have enabled me to have an understanding of many areas of Language Arts, History, and English. As a Comm Studies major I was held to a high standard of technical writing with essay and would always use credible sources for my research.
I love to teach, there is nothing more self rewarding then helping a person who is struggling to achieve something and helping them with their goals. I believe all students can find academic success somewhere if given the correct opportunities and surroundings. I firmly believe that I have been educated by some of the best and these educators have made a world of difference in my life and expectations. I would like to help students in the same way my educators helped m ... read more

I have taught ESL for 17 years to children and adults from all over the world. I have a strong command of language arts and am experienced at teaching literacy, grammar, vocabulary, spelling, essay writing, phonics, pronunciation, etc. I coordinate the after school enrichment program and annual play at Earl LeGette Elementary School. Having finished a financial planning course, I have also recently brushed up on my math skills. I have a well-rounded education and am constantly learning as I tutor my own children with their homework.
My teaching style involves fun and an active student. Self-discovery is the best way to learn and retain knowledge. I see myself as the facilitator; I give my students the tools, so they can figure out problems on their own and become more self-reliant. I want learning to be fun, involving games, healthy competition and active learning, so studen ... read more

More About This Tutor...

In a one-on-one situation, I prefer dialogue. Assuming the student does the assigned work before the session, I find that a informal, relaxed conversation on the subject matter at hand encourages the student to further explore the addressed topic. If I am familiar with the student's extra-curricular interests, I attempt to relate the subject matter to such interests. I find that questioning the student in a conversational manner produces the best results, as opposed to the more stringent (i.e. boring) task of fill-in-the-blank worksheets. For writing assignments, I ask the student to write a paragraph which we then go over line-by-line so the student has immediate feedback on any errors.
Having homeschooled my children (eldest is attending a top 20 public university)and volunteering extensively in the school community, I have become familiar with a wide variety of learning styl ... read more
