I am currently a tutor at the the University of Notre Dame where I tutor both athletes and calculus 1,2 and 3. I grade and help form the test bank for exams so I am well versed in how calculus and lower grades of math are formed on the test and can identify a typical test question so we can focus on what really counts as well as learning the material as efficiently as possible.

Read More About Donna R...

I'm very passionate to help kids to be successful in school as well as in life. I've had 6 years of working as Student Aides in all levels of K-12; Math, English, Writing, and Arts, 5 years working as Teacher for Career Colleges: Websters, Phillip Jr., and University of Phoenix; Math, Computer Software Applications, Writing, Professional development, Accounting,Statistic, Student coaching,and Piano.
I'm a big believer of motivation and encouragement. Once the kids are motivated when they feel the bonding, learning success will be achieved in a faster speed. I'd like to talk to the children every day to find out how their days went and their concerns and challenges especially if they feel they're capable of handling of the situation and their ways of doing such.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am professional math tutor who has helped numerous students. Many of my students have achieved success beyond what they ever thought possible. Many students have gone from failing, to getting A's on tests, in as little as two sessions. I graduated with a 3.7 GPA at Los Alamitos High School and went on to study Business Accounting at San Diego State and Cal State Long Beach. I have worked in every academic setting from one-on-one private tutoring to the classroom environment with students ranging from elementary, intermediate, high school, and college.
My tutoring style is aggressive; I am constantly analyzing what a student does and doesn't understand, using my mastery of the material to devise questions that facilitate understanding in weak areas. I am a tutor that truly has a passion for the art of teaching. Many of my students have said that two hours with me is better than ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I recently graduated from California State University Long Beach (CSULB) with a BS in Earth Science and a 3.5 GPA. My degree has provided me with a firm understanding of science and mathematics. I have completed coursework such as calculus I, II and III, calculus based physics and general chemistry. Starting fall 2010 I will be attending CSULB for a master’s degree. This will add to my knowledge of science and mathematics. During my college career I have tutored numerous colleagues and friends in science and mathematics.
I enjoy tutoring because it gives me a chance to help someone. For many students math and science is a very difficult area. I believe a strong foundation in math and science can lead to success in the future. Throughout my college experience there were numerous courses that were very challenging for me. I therefore understand the difficulties associated with learni ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Although my primary academic interests are languages and literatures, I have also enjoyed studying in many other academic fields. When an undergraduate, I intended to become an engineer; as a result I studied quite a lot of math and science (which later proved useful, enabling me to manage NASA grants for a university engineering school). Still, the liberal arts are my favorites; and I've found that as a educator (I've taught university, high school and middle school classes) I am most passionate and effective when teaching languages, literature, history, European art. Still, as a math or science teacher, I can be pretty convincing.
I have always worked to make a difference in the life of each of my students. I love teaching and working with young people. Although most of my student evaluations state that I have high classroom standards and expectations, they also observe t ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I thoroughly enjoy teaching, especially in a tutoring setting. Being able to work with a student in an environment where I can give them all of my attention really allows me to make a huge impact on them. I believe that in order for a student to learn, the student must gain confidence that he or she CAN learn. I am a very kind and helpful person, and implement a vast array of difference techniques to help a student no matter what type of learning works best for them. I feel it is important to work by doing something you love, and I could not imagine doing anything other than teaching.
Since graduating with a bachelors degree in mathematics, I have done a lot of work in the tutoring field. I have worked for two years for Sylvan Learning Center, working in an array of fields, including all areas of mathematics, English, SAT prep, and study skills. I have also worked for Islip T ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have always been known to be patient and understanding, and my years as an Instructional Assistant has also taught me to be firm and forgiving. I value the time I share with students in a classroom because it is by far the best learning environment for a group of children. The first order of business that I strongly believe in is classroom management. I set the rules before anybody can break them. And with authority in place, I can proceed as a role model and an instructor. My curiculum would consist of hands-on activities and interactive measures that would spark interest in the children's minds, which in turn make learning a little more fun.
As an employee at the Anaheim Union High School District, and as an instructional assistant in the special education department, I have worked with children with a number of disablilities, many of which hinder them from progressing aca ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I love to work and teach children everything I know in a particular subject. I think all children can learn but each in different ways. For me, I'm dedicated to not only help them to learn but also promote my own teaching style. In other words, I'm here to learn as well and my students. I'm very generous, kind, patient, and willing to help my students to decipher or clarify anything they find confusing. Of course, I'm here to provide the best education that I can provide for not only my students, but also for those who loved me. If anyone has the desire to learn, I know that he will become a successful person in life.

I have always enjoyed working with children and helping to direct paths thru life. I get along with children very well and am very patient. Children like adults have their strong subjects and weak ones and my style is try to find the strong points of children. It is important at what point a student lost their way, go back and help them get past that point. I want to make a difference in this small amount of time I have on earth.
I received my BS degree in Communications in 1974 and passed my CBEST test in December, 2008. I have been tutoring for over 6 months assisting a student rewriting her term paper. I have also tutored my grandson and younger daughter in high school and college math. I decided to enter tutoring and teaching after realizing how important education is while using my communications ability.

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe in a life long pursuit of knowledge; a belief I have tried to impart to everyone I come in contact with. I believe in teaching my students HOW to think, not WHAT to think. Our future depends on our creating a generation that is capable forming their own opinions and arguments; a generation capable of wrestling with tough questions and arriving at well thought out conclusions. I would love to claim that I came up with philosophy on my own; but I must admit, it is a philosophy I adopted from two of the most influential educators in my life, my parents.
I can promise you three things if hired; I will never be late, I will never no show, and I will be the hardest worker you have ever employed. I strive to be a person of integrity, and I am nothing if not loyal. Though I have not worked as professional tutor, I have time and again found myself instructing and assisting fell ... read more
