In High School I discovered that not only was I skilled in math and science, but that I was effective in tutoring other students in these subjects. I started professionally tutoring students younger than me when I was a junior and continued until I graduated college. I successfully tutored students in Algebra, Geometry/Trig, Algebra 2, Pre-Calc, Chemistry, Physics, Biology, and SAT Prep. I have taught swimming and been a lifeguard through American Red Cross since I was 16, and in 2007 decided to take the next step and become an instructor for them. I now teach CPR/First Aid, and Lifeguard Training for different facilities in the area. I feel that my largest teaching strength is the ability to identify where students are having problems and address those issues first. If students don't understand the fundamentals, it is impossible to teach them advanced concepts. In addition to this

In my opinion there’s never a dull moment when it comes to science and math. I am severely enthused when it comes to particular subjects that I love. And I am well open to share it with people that are interested. Even though you find yourself disliking the subject because it is “hard” or for whatever reason, I can make the subject engaging. I like to engage the students into the subject by not just helping them by memorizing protocols, but enabling them to understand the situation. I teach with very precise details, have them think for themselves to make the connecting gap in what they are learning. Therefore, by doing so, it doesn’t become dull but exciting. Throughout my undergraduate studies I have tutored both science and math profusely. My specialties are chemistry (college or intro chemistry), organic chemistry, intro to physics and biochemistry. Because I know biochemistry so wel

I enjoy working with students of all ages. As a teacher, there is nothing greater than to see my students succeed. I am more results-oriented and I encourage students to work persistently until they have accomplished their goals. I am friendly, patient, and easy going. Although I push my students to work hard, I also like to have fun and make the learning experience enjoyable as well. I have a very diverse background and I have many years of experience teaching in different subjects. I was an English teacher for one year in Korea, teaching children at a public school. I have taught fine art at a private school in Salinas. I have also been teaching martial arts and self-defense for over 10 years. I have worked with children as young as 4, to adults in their senior years. I hold a bachelor's degree in Business Marketing from San Jose State and I graduated with honors.

I have always had a natural curiosity for learning Mathematics and a desire to teach others. I remember being a student in Elementary School struggling to understand a particular concept and then imagining myself explaining this concept to others once I achieved understanding. Mathematics has always been challenging for me but noticed that as long as I was persistent I always acquired knowledge of the material. I was exposed to many different math instructors and many of them motivated me to learn mathematics and inspired me to want to teach. I am very patient when I explain concepts to others and enjoy coming up with different ways of explaining these concepts. I tutored at the Hartnell College Math Lab in topics ranging from Pre-Algebra to Calculus. I also tutored/mentored recent high school graduates and motivated them to pursue careers in math and science. I tutored Algebra at Sweetw

I am a Corporate Finance professional whose true passion is math education. I have a Bachelor's degree in Mathematics and a Masters in Business Administration - Finance. In college, I worked as a Teacher's Assistant at my old high school and as a private math tutor for 1-2 years in subjects ranging from algebra to calculus. I also worked as a college math seminar instructor for 2 years, teaching college-level calculus. I helped many of my students advance in their math classes and actually made it interesting for them, so that they wanted to learn! I truly enjoy teaching and working with all levels of math learners. I was blessed to have great math teachers in my education that transferred their passion for the subject on to me. Many students are very apprehensive when they enter math classes because the concepts seem so foreign. I feel the most important thing when it comes to ma

Throughout high school and college, I belonged to several tutoring organizations. I took multiple extra classes on education and tutoring techniques at Cal Poly. My senior project researched the process in which adolescents first learn to think abstractly. Stanford's STEP program was an intense year which prepared me very well for classroom teaching. My colleagues continually asked for copies of my original lesson plans. Many students thanked me for helping them "finally get math." I have enjoyed the last 5 years of teaching. I would be teaching this year, but the timing of my recent marriage and move would have made a full time teaching position awkward. I hope to continue helping students become more confident in their math skills. I love helping a student come to a mathematical conclusion on his/her own.

After graduating with a degree in history as well as with completion of pre-medical requirements I started tutoring students grades k-12 as well as college students in math, science, english and reading. After college I completed 2 years of FAA flight training and began teaching ground and flight instruction for all levels of pilot training (including aerobatics), which has allowed me to hone my teaching skills working with so many different age groups, personalities and cultural backgrounds. As a flight instructor I teach aerodynamics and basic physics while using math on a regular basis. I work well with children and adults alike. I enjoy the challenge of finding the perfect explanation for each individual that I works with their personal thought processes (as everyone thinks about things a little differently - that is the challenge of teaching). I believe that helping a person discove

Throughout the course of my education, I have had the opportunity to work with many great instructors and professors; learning the qualities and characteristics of what comprises an effective teacher. I currently possess two degrees, a Bachelors of Arts in Social Science with an emphasis in Teaching Preparation and a Masters of Science in Environmental Management. While I consider myself highly competent and comfortable teaching anything within California’s kindergarten through twelth grade curriculum, my strengths lie within my background and education in science and mathematics. I have also garnered over two years of providing instruction in preparing for the SAT. Over my years of experience providing supplemental instruction to a diverse range of students, I have found that I possess a breadth of knowledge and interpersonal skill-sets that make me an effective teacher.

I have an educational background in physics, math, chemistry, engineering and biology. During my educational and professional experience I’ve had involvement in various facets of semiconductor, polymer and metallurgical processing as well as electronic/mechanical product design and fabrication. I enjoy teaching grades 7 thru college level. I am patient, communicate well and eager to make learning fun. I feel that most people love to learn they just have to find a reason to find it interesting and applicable to the world around them. I try to introduce concepts as they apply to real world circumstances.

I love working with children and teens. I am very sociable and students generally find me easy going and understanding. Every child has the capacity to improve and learn over time; therefore I am very patient and teach through direct practice and repetition. Given helpful techniques and proper guidance, I’ve seen children improve drastically in their schoolwork. I aim to make a difference in every student’s grade. Being a biology graduate from the UC system and a children’s counselor for the last seven years has equipped me with extensive knowledge and teaching skills. I hold a B.S. in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, which encompasses many other scientific disciplines and mathematical skills. I’ve also learned many grammar and writing techniques from frequent research reports and laboratory essays. After working with children and teens for many years, I have gained invaluable experienc

Hello! I am currently finishing my B.S in Chemistry and Biochemistry at UCSC. I've been working at Merit tutoring for the past three years as a chemistry, algebra I & II, geometry, trigonometry and calculus tutor with students ranging from middle school to college age level. In addition, I have learned extensive laboratory skills while interning at Roche (a pharmaceutical/research and development company in Palo Alto). I've been tutoring algebra and geometry since my senior year in high school so I work really well with teens and young adults. Tutoring is an extremely rewarding experience because I get to know each of my students as individuals. Every student works/learns in their own manner and as a tutor, I strive to make them understand their own potential. My goal as a tutor is to give them a different/more indepth view of the subject considering the textbook does not always ma
