Life Science is one of my top subjects! Biology is the study of life and you are alive (unless you are a zombie). Allow me to be your guide as we learn about you and the wonderful world around you!

I have been teaching/tutoring students in life science for over 20 years, but it all started with my BA from UC Berkeley in Integrative Biology. At Berkeley I tutored/taught part-time as a Lab Teacher at Berkeley Community College, a study group leader at UC Berkeley student learning center, and a Kaplan MCAT tutor. I then earned my MA in Zoology (with a thesis in molecular evolution from University of South Florida) and mentored/taught College Freshmen Biology and worked in immunology at the Cancer Research Center. I moved back to the Bay Area and worked at Biotech companies including Genentech, and Amgen. In 2013 I earned my Biology and Chemistry California Teacher Credential from CSUEB, and now have been a full-time life-science teacher for 5 years for grades 7-12 in public, private, and specialized education schools. I have taught middle-school life-science, Biology, Marine Biol ... read more

The beginning of everything, I've got three younger sisters and there has always been a fair amount of helping out where they're concerned. I've babysat since I was twelve and for the past few years I've worked as a nanny. It's not exactly what you would expect for a tutor but I've been offering homework help in those areas for many years.

More About This Tutor...

Many of my previous jobs have surrounded helping others. Whether that was through tutoring and teaching or customer service. Growing up I also tutored my younger sister and my cousin who has a learning disability. I have always been passionate about helping others, especially through education. Currently, I am pursuing a major in Sociology at the University of California Berkeley in hopes of becoming a teacher for K-12 students and eventually a college professor.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have successfully completed a Beacon tutor course in preparation for individual and group tutor sessions. I led a semester long Beacon tutoring supplement course in Organic Chemistry that supported 20 junior college students. I have effectively tutored/mentored a number of high school students in general education coursework, organizational skills, and in preparation for exit examinations. I have conducted community based math group sessions for junior high and high school students. Finally, I have supported 1st and 2nd grade elementary school students in math and reading comprehension. I personally create and provide worksheets and additional materials to support students' mastery of coursework. Students under my mentorship have achieved at least a 40% increase on grade reports and above average scores on examinations.

A Little Bit About Me...

"No one will care what you know until they know that you care." I have great enthusiasm and passion for teaching and I make great connections with students. I know all people are capable of change and growth. I strive to help create life-long learners who are motivated to grow. My instruction and coaching techniques are very user friendly, and have been very successful for high academic achievers as well as students who struggle with academics and are very resistant to anything that has to do with school.
As a high school teacher for 13 years, I have had a profound impact on the academic and personal success of a great majority of my students. I have won many "inspirational teacher awards" and have been identified by many of my students as the teacher most responsible for their success. They have said that I have made learning interesting, fun, and rewarding for them because I ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a recent graduate from the University of California Riverside, I have earned a bachelors of science degree from the institution. During my time at UCR I developed a passion for the sciences which was taught by dedicated professors who served as my mentors. After being exposed to many professors who have a passion for teaching, I want to also give back to the community in this way.
I really like working with all sorts of people. There is no satisfaction greater than when I can see the spark in a person's eye when they comprehend materials they had not before. Everyone can learn any material they set their mind to if they have the motivation and the proper learning environment, and of course the right teacher. It is my desire to be a great teacher, educator, and mentor.

What I have found works effectively is to lead the student through the problem with as little intervention as possible. The problem the student usually has with the particular topic is usually a slight misunderstanding of background material needed to answer the question.
I have tutored at UC Santa Cruz for undergraduate biology classes including cell biology, biochemistrty, genetics, and eukaryotic molecular biology. I tutored during my undergraduate education for two years.

I think one of my greatest strengths as a tutor is my patience with students. I am very attentive to the frustrations that students sometimes undergo and I continue to work with students until they understand the concepts of the lesson, often trying different approaches until I find one that works for that student. I believe strongly in the idea that all students have the ability to learn, and that it is necessary to make learning interactive and relevant. I feel that it is important to encourage students, but I also pride myself on not offering empty praise, but rather pushing students to be able to explain how they came to an answer or conclusion. I believe students learn best in a supportive and comfortable environment, which is aided by my easy-going and friendly manner.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a fan of teaching people who are eager and willing to learn. If a person actually wants to learn, then the trick is merely to be patient, build up a persons confidence, and try as many angles as possible until you find the right one that clicks with how they best learn and are able to understand. Fundamental to the learning process however is in having a student actually do for themselves, rather than merely watch someone else, and work through the steps in a supportive environment. I also believe that people learn more from their mistakes than from their successes.
I have spent most of my formative and adult years learning, and then helping others to learn from the knowledge I have gained. My first job at age 15 was working in a computer assistance program which helped children and adults with severe disabilities become proficient with computer technology. Later I was promo ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy teaching children of all ages. Being a tutor and substitute teacher has provided me the opportunity to see so much growth and potential that children have. I believe everyone has opportunity to do their best and I always stay positive to encourage them to try. If a child is about to give up trying, I encourage them to take a short break, then try again. I tell them, "practice makes perfect." Never give up before you try something new.
During my undergrad studies, I began tutoring with children (usually 1-2 at a time) from pre-school age with phonics and sight reading until the present time with reading, writing, math, science and history. I have also worked in a private girls school as an After School Study Hall teacher for Grades 5-8 and presently I am a Substitute teacher for Grades K-6 in a self-contained classroom.

More About This Tutor...

As a pre-med at UC Berkeley, I have a vast experience with in the basic sciences. I fell in love with Molecular Biology because of how integrated the field was. Everything was connected in some way or another. To complete my experience, I was also heavily involved in research. I've done research in stem cells, neurons, sickle cells, and zinc fingers. I've had the opportunity to tutor disadvantaged students in Oakland. Tutored underclassmen in High school. I've helped them in school work, SAT, and college applications. My students have received offers from UCB, UCLA, and Stanford.
My number one goal in teaching has always been to improve the students approach and mentality. All most every student I have tutored had the hidden, raw talent to succeed in school, but either lacked the desire or the vision to do so. I want students to see problems and concepts like how I do. I want them ... read more
