I starting tutoring in high school. I tutored in students in math. In college, I continued to tutor through an organization. I tutored groups of students at their homes. I became an elementary school teacher. I was a substitute teacher. During this time, I taught multiple grades and multiple subjects ranging from Kindergarten to 8th grade. I was an elementary/middle school teacher from 2009-2015 I taught 8th grade algebra for the last four years at a public school in southern California.

I am good in basic math. My weakness is story problems unless they are really simple. I know how to do fractions, percentages, and decimals really well. I can do very basic Algebra, but I am not in anyway an expert at it. I have eight years experience tutoring subjects like Basic Math, Basic Reading, Grammar, English 250, English 260, and English 270 at Shasta College. I also tutored subjects such as Keyboarding I and Keyboarding II, which is Typing I and Typing II on a computer; Machine Calculations, Business English, Business Communications, English as a Second Language, and Excel. In the eight years I tutored at Shasta College, these are the subjects I tutored and loved to see the success of my students after I helped them. I teach everyone slowly and by going over the subject over and over again until it is understood. I am a very patient tutor and am good at what I do. I try t

Working as a High School English teacher for seven years, in Alternative Education, has greatly honed my skills in assisting students to excel. Teaching critical thinking skills to those struggling to grasp concepts, provides great benefit in every subject area. I have used my expertise in reading and writing to open doors for others as they begin to learn, in confidence, and strengthen their own skills. Aside from substitute teaching--whereby I have taught every subject area, I have, as a full-time teacher, taught a variety of English classes (literature and writing) and a psychology elective. I believe that every person has a specific set of gifts, talents and abilities that is unique to each of us. Education, through its varied forms, is vital in the process of equipping children with the ability to grow and walk in their fullness so that they are confident in contributing their p

When working with children, I try my best to be engaging, interactive, and fun. If necessary, I'll use props (e.g. building blocks) to help illustrate concepts, and I always try to ask many questions along the way to make sure my explanations are clear. With older students I will use a slightly more textbook approach, but keeping lessons interactive still remains essential, and props may still be useful in some circumstances. In both situations, I try to find which learning styles work best for the student and present lessons based on those. Each person has a unique way of learning, and if a teacher takes the time to understand it, then the student's true potential can be reached. As a Regent's Scholar at UC Davis, I sought to develop skills in both the sciences and the liberal arts. As such, I earned two bachelors degrees, a BS in Civil/Environmental Engineering with an emphasis in

I have always been passionate about receiving and giving the best education. As a graduate of a top-level liberal arts college I was able to hone my skills in English writing and composition. I received a certificate in Elementary Education both in New York and California, and have taught in elementary schools for three years in grades 3, and a 1st/2nd grade combo class, respectively. I also have 2 years of experience substituting in elementary and middle schools, and 1 year of experience tutoring in English, as well as math. My most recent experiences have been teaching ESL students as an instructional assistant, as well as working one-on-one with autistic and special needs children in a special day class for 1 and a half years. I have always loved to teach children because it excites me to see them really grasp a concept, and overcome a hurdle they thought was beyond their reach. Each

I have a degree in chemistry that included many hours of work in a lab setting, and I also worked for 10 years as a chemist in various types of labs. This experience has given me a solid understanding of chemistry. Through my education and work experience, I have learned how to think through and solve chemistry problems. It has become a part of me, and something I understand very well. I helped to tutor high school students and junior college students in general chemistry, and through this experience, I learned how teach chemistry to students that are struggling with the concepts. I believe that being an effective tutor involves tailoring my style to the way the student learns. That is why I pay close attention to what seems effective for each student. I begin by allowing them to ask questions, then answer the questions as directly as possible, and from there I adapt to what seems to wor

I think that it is important to make sure that the student understands the concepts being learned in each subject rather than learning how to do one particular problem. Too often students forget the basics that they learned before because they thought that they were finished only to find that it comes up again in a more advanced subject. My goal is to get students to understand and apply the concepts to different situations other than the ones that are directly in front of them at the moment. I tend to push students to work hard and challenge them to think about the process instead of just giving answers. During High School I taught at a science camp for 3 years. After college I went and lived in China and taught university level ESL for 3 years. I have worked for a few local tutoring organizations in the last 2 years as well as doing private tutoring. I have worked with ages 8-24

I studied Math because I love the subject. I have received a BA and am pursuing my Masters. During the last ten years I have taught math classes to middle school students as well as college students. I have also work as a private tutor throughout this time as well. I can tutor all levels of math up to undergraduate college courses. I like teaching and tutoring math. The subject is more accessible than most students believe, and helping someone break through that barrier is very satisfying. I believe that practice and consistent work is the way to learn this subject, and I consistently encourage my students to take this to heart. Learn the basics well and apply that understanding to more advanced ideas. I don't like moving on when present topics are still only partially understood. I am patient, and thorough.
