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 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.
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 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 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 have a BS in Business and have worked in Mortgage and Banking for many years. This industry requires excellent written communication skills as well as practical math skills. I have been a substitute teacher for grades K - 12 for the past year in all subjects and have C-Best Certification. I am very familiar with the curriculum and I have an excellent rapport with students.
I have discovered over the past year of substituting that I absolutely love teaching. Students are very comfortable with me as I am a very positive, friendly person who smiles a lot. As the parent of a college student, I was a tutor for 12 years. I know how to make learning fun and rewarding.

My approach to teaching is to provide what is needed, and sometimes that is not limited to the explicit task at hand. As an English teacher/tutor, I have often found that, rather than merely showing students how to recognize a complete sentence and use correct punctuation and grammar, the more important thing is to prove to them that they can think, and that they are intelligent. To this end, I use gentle Socratic questioning to stimulate students, loosen them up, get them interested, and increase their comfort. Often, what comes out of a student's mouth is surprisingly wonderful, and I quickly say, "That's great! Write that down!"

A Little Bit About Me...

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.
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 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.
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 been a senior financial and operating executive for the past 40 years in a variety of industries. I have also taught Finance at the MBA level at Frostburg State College, MBA program. I am very knowledgeable in Accounting, finance, economics, math, history, various business topics including marketing. I have been certified to tutor over 15 subjects bu another tutoring service.
I am very much focused on teaching concepts and then ensuring that practical examples are worked to make sure the concepts are understood and applied. My style is to emphasize understanding the underlying concepts and logic that drive the subject matter. Once understood I like to use exercises and problems to apply these concepts and make sured how they are applied is well understood and the student can arrive at correct solutions.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have experience working with k-12. Along with employed tutoring, volunteering, and mentoring. I am qualified to tutor in English, math, and social studies because throughout my studies I have excelled in all three subjects and have tutored them also. I enjoy tutoring math because I get to constantly push the limits of how I can explain concepts. In English, I read lots off long books. And social studies, for the same reason as English, I enjoy reading books! currently for the wccsd, i tutor in math and science. i have guest spoken at a school for science and i have lead the discussion at the same school in math, grades 2-5. i am currently getting the substitute teaching credentials for the school district.
My teaching style changes with each student. My passion for teaching and working wit children is driven by the fresh way they have of looking at problems and the world aroun ... read more
