I believe each child is unique and has potential to learn and understand. Each child has its own way of learning.My goal is to teach the students the way they can understand the concept of math and science and why they need to understand the concept this in practical life.Where we have to apply all this concepts in real life.My theory with the students is to start with simple problems and when they attain mastery in it then challenge them with difficult problem. To ask them questions what they think and how they can slove it.

While completing a BA in Geography, I developed clear but nuanced writing skills as well as the ability to solve problems. As geography spans many disciplines, I also gained flexible thinking and the ability to analyze information from seemingly divergent fields of math and science. In the following three years after graduation, I traveled and worked as a sports coach. I developed a student-oriented ethic and additional communicative and analytical skills. I am currently pursuing my education again to start a career in software development and information technology. I have taught piano, skiing, snowboarding, and sailing and I am looking forward to applying my math, critical thinking and writing skills to a tutoring role. I originally got into teaching because I loved sports and wanted to help others develop that love as well. During this process, my interest expanded to assisting

I received a BS in Chemistry, Physics minor from San Jose State University, and a PhD in Chemistry from UC Berkeley. I tutored chemistry students while an undergraduate at SJSU, and taught 3 semesters of organic chemistry as a graduate student instructor at UC Berkeley. As an industry researcher, I still am constantly learning from and instructing to colleagues in my field, as chemistry is a continuously evolving field. My expertise is in organic and polymer/materials chemistry. To be successful in chemistry, the student should learn the fundamentals well enough to "know" how to proceed, because memorization can only take one so far. I try to prepare students to be able to build upon their own knowledge to reach a useful conclusion to the task at hand. "I don't know" is not a valid answer. I coach in order to tie the “somethings” one does know together in a way that allows one to proceed

An accounting/ auditing professinal with nearly 9 years of combined accounting/auditing experience in India/USA,that really helped me to gain adequate knowledge in the above field of study by working for a public accounting firm/Industry.But I had always wanted to teach kids (as a mother of two kids) and feel that this opportunity would help me achieve what I had wanted to do. I love teaching and working with all children. I believe all children can learn, but each in different ways. I am available to help your child find academic success. I am patient, easy going,soft spoken and considerate. I believe all children can meet their potential if they are given the appropriate surroundings and learning experiences. A few good educators can make a world of difference in a child's education and I believe I can be one amongst them...

Since high school I have always been in a postion as a mentor and tutor. One of my first experiences was as a camp counselor for inner-city youth. Since then my affinity for teaching has grown while serving as a Bible study teacher and private tutor, to the position I now have as Assistant Director of our church's English Ministry. In addition to supervising the teaching staff I am the primary lecturer. I have experience tutoring children in grades 1 - 12 as well as college students in the areas of English and Mathematics. Currently I am finishing up my B.A in Applied Mathematics at U.C. Berkeley. I know of few things that compare to the moment a concept or idea clicks in a student's head. Regardless if it registers with a knowing nod or is the result of a difficult grinding process, the feeling for me is the same. I firmly believe that no two children think in exactly the same way, and
