A Little Bit About Me...

Law student based in Berkeley, studying in Ireland. Educated in Clongowes Wood College (Ireland), achieving top grades in English, Music and Geography. Received the RIAM silver medal at 15 for piano, and the gold medal at 18 years of age. Played drums for 12+ years. Certified TEFL English language teacher and runner-up in the 2011 Beckett-Joyce award for creative writing. Tutored for ages 15-18 in the English category and can teach piano and drums to all but advanced performers.
Emphasis and understanding of the fundmental material is crucial, and I would focus more on simplifying how certain topics should be understood rather than over-complicating the problem.

I would describe my teaching style in terms of the activity, belaying. Slack is given to the rope at times so that the climber may advance, or traverse, the face of the mountain. When the climber feels tired, or incapable, the rope needs tightening so the climber stays secure. If the climber falls from the face of the mountain the taught rope will prevent injury or possible demise. I tend to give my students slack when I feel they are advancing in terms of curriculum, yet once I notice their tendency to rest, or falter, I tighten my teaching approach by using more straightforward methods so that they are not confused, or do not wear themselves out with struggle. This is all so they reach the top of whatever mountain they choose to conquer.
My bachelor's degree in English serves as an example for the effort and time committed to education and a service to academia. I learned literar ... read more

Since high school I have been involved with tutoring. Although on a voluntary basis I tutored Algebra 2 and BIology in high school. At Stanford, I have been involved with various programs like Math Magic, East Palo Alto Children's Association, HAAS Center...in tutoring students from the area. I have instructed elementary, middle, and high school students thus far. In addition to academic subjects I have tutored guitar at at the beginning and intermediate level. I have studied Sociology and thus I have knowledge about qualitative and quantitative research. I have also received a B at the 1st level and an A at the 2nd level of Stanford's Program in Writing and Rhetoric.
I have learned to adjust my tutoring skills specifically for the student based on their learning style; allowing the student to get much more out of the experience. The fact that I've worked with various levels has al ... read more

I love the learning process. Few things in life are as rewarding as teaching and learning. Stylistically, I would consider myself to a patient and passionate, yet challenging teacher. I try to understand the learning style of each person and try to direct my efforts in ways that are conducive to each individual's learning style. I try to inject real life examples into teaching as I believe that relevance helps in the process. Also, I like to infuse humor into the process as I believe that most people learn when their minds are open and anxiety-free.
I believe that education and learning are two of the most exciting and fulfilling elements of life and believe that helping others to learn is a way to give something back to this world. I have a Masters degree in Business. Not surprisingly, my math skills are quite good. Additionally, I possess strong communication skills (verbal ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have a Bachelors degree in Medical Technology and have a current California license as a Clinical Laboratory Scientist and a Histocompatibility certificate from the American Board of Immunogenetics. I have tutored my nieces and cousins in the past and have done some brief training for people in the workplace. I'm also an artist, besides painting I enjoy writing and poetry. I have a finished manuscript of a picture book for children. My passion for learning is a lifetime goal for me.
As a young child I wanted to be a teacher but eventually went into a different field but the love of teaching never left me. Being detail oriented, I enjoy the process of explaining things methodically and creatively. I like to approach things in a constructive way and always try to view it in the child's perspective. It is important to encourage and motivate the children and make learni ... read more

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 ... read more

I am a parent to a four year old and a twenty year old stepson, so my teaching and parenting is one filled with patience, toughness but fairness, and lots of humor. I believe that children should talk respectfully, grammatically correct [Student: “Can I go to the bathroom?” Myself: “Well, I don’t know. Do you know how to?’ Student: “I mean, may I go to the bathroom?” Myself: “Yes, of course you may go the bathroom”], and should treat each other with respect too. It’s not easy, and it’s more of a battle some days than others. I have students who feel that they can do whatever they want to, on their own time. I teach that with the privileges comes the work, there is no easy way around it [I work with high 6th graders and 7th graders].
I have worked for over five years with elementary and middle school-aged students; I have also worked with People with Disabilities. I love working wit ... read more
