Chess is one of my top subjects! I can play chess, Chinese chess and Weiqi (Go) (a Chinese traditional chess with more than 1,000 years history).

When I was in the Guangdong Ocean University (GDOU)in China, my major is Chinese. And my major is focus on teaching the foreigners how to speak and write Chinese. I am a good public speaker and I have an outstanding eloquence. I have rich experiences in speaking in front of people. I was the host of performances of College of Liberal Art in Guangdong Ocean University (GDOU) in China. I hosted the Top-10 Singer Competition, the Cooking Competition and the Speech Competition. And I was also the host of 2013 Mid-Autumn Festival Celebration Performance in UC Davis. Furthermore, I am the director, writer and actor of the Chinese witty skit for 2013 Mid-Autumn Festival Celebration Performance in UC Davis. So, even though I do not have experience in being a tutor, I believe my public speaking and other experience can definitely make me be a good tutor.

I have worked with students of all ages. I have taught elementary all the way to college level students. I have taught basic math,algebra, trigonometry, pre-calculus, calculus and SAT math. I graduated from electrical engineering school. I understand what it takes to bring students up to speed. Over the years I have learned that students did not understand the subject because they did not master the basics. Math is like solving the puzzle, one has to master the previous course before moving on to the next.

More About This Tutor...

I graduated from Duke University in 2009 with a triple-major in Biomedical Engineering, Economics, and Mathematics. I have tutored in Economics and spent four years mentoring middle-schools students in Engineering as a Techtronics Fellow.
I have never been someone who "just gets it" when it comes to math or science, and so I understand more than many people who pursued degrees in these subjects just how puzzling they can be. Math seems like it is filled with "tricks" that seem impossible to know unless you were born with some innate gift. When I teach, I seek to show, step-by-step. how to think about a problem as more than a set of symbols on paper. I seek to impart the critical thinking skills that reveal why those tricks aren't tricks at all, but are instead a natural part of the grammar of math and science.

During my years at UC Davis I achieved a high level of excellence inside and outside the classroom, majoring in Economics with a minor in Communication as well as earning All-America Honors in Intercollegiate Golf. I began at Davis majoring in Physics, which led me to take many advanced level math and science courses, eventually settling on Economics, with which I became a master of statistics and through analytical papers developed excellent writing and grammar skills as well. I have not tutored extensively, but have a lot of experience teaching and coaching young people as I have been involved with youth sports and youth development programs for many years.

More About This Tutor...

I have been a substitute teacher for about 10 years specializing in math & physics. I have a BS in Mechanical Engineering plus 20+ years of maintenance/engineering experience. I incorporate practical examples in teaching to give students in depth knowledge in a practical sense. I gather my examples from my varied career experiences from the Military, Aircraft, Engineering, Manufacturing/Maintenance & Computer fields. I sporadically tutors students in my specialty.
I use the Active Participation strategy because it engages the learner not only in understanding but in contributing as well. This active learning process combined with introduction of practical uses/examples of the the subject matter provides a deeper meaning. But most of all the Objective,Purpose,and what their interests are, must be known so that these can be incorporated in the learning process.

I believe a large part of teaching is to find ways of motivating students to learn. I like to show my students how what they are learning applies to their everyday lives. I encourage active participation by the student. In order to continually improve my own teaching skills, feedback on my own performance is highly valued. Math is a favorite subject of mine, and I would like to have the opportunity to tutor this subject.
I was raised in a family of teachers. Both my parents have been teachers, and my older brother and sister are both currently teachers. As an psychiatric technician at Napa State Hospital, I was chosen to become a trainer, teaching a new computer system being implemented to nursing and other staff throughout the hospital. I developed classes and created lesson plans for those classes, as well as providing individual training. I held this position for 2 years.
