I love Science!

I have a solid educational background in chemistry and my general interest in all aspects of the sciences make me a very well rounded and informed candidate. In attaining my science mastery, I have become very facile at mathematics as well. I have taught Chemistry (General, AP, and Honors), along Space, Geology, Earth and Life Science classes for 12 years both privately and in public high schools here in California and abroad. I easily build rapport with students and have tutored for many years all the way back to 1990. Furthermore, I am authorized to teach Specially Designed Academic instruction in English (SDAIE) courses under SB 2042. Additionally, through my teacher training and years of classroom experience, I am a team player who excels at communication and interpersonal relationships between myself, students, parents, and colleagues. I am a dedicated worker and possess an ac ... read more

ThinkTankTutor Brentwood Private and Group Mathematics Tutor

I believe in Minimalism. I tutor Math from the point of view that the shortest path is the best path but everyone learns differently and finding the right method for my students is one of my main goals when tutoring. I teach students multiple ways to solve a particular problems and they get to decide which method works best for them, hopefully its the simplest method. Public School class rooms have 30 plus students and only one instructor. The low instructor to student ratio makes it difficult for more then one method to be taught leaving some students behind. When students feel they don't understand, they become self conscience of their perceived lack of knowledge making them less confident in mathematics which leads to procrastination on their homework . Besides finding the right method, another of my principle goals is helping my students grow in confidence. I want my students to enjo ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have worked with students in Math and Science for the past 18 years. I love to make difficult concepts come alive to the student. I like to work from concrete examples towards abstract concepts. Math is a subject that is best learned by doing and I enjoy working with my students to understand the reasons behind the formulas.

Math is one of my top subjects!

According to me, the most efficient way a student can learn is by focused preparation and constant practice. I reinforce the concepts learnt at the end of each session & give lots of practice problems. Periodic quizzes & assessment tests will be there to make sure the student is comfortable & confident on the topics taught before moving on. "Timed" practice tests for SAT & ACT students, to mimic the actual tests.
I'm an experienced tutor specializing in Chemistry and Mathematics at the high school and college levels. I earned my PhD in Chemistry from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Chennai.

My comments on tutoring Math : Taken in High School.

I graduated High School in 2011. During my junior year of High School I started home schooling so I could take college classes. I took three classes at Skyline College, all of which were completed with a B or better by the time I was a senior in High School. Along with my college classes I babysat a five year old and tutored him three days a week. During my senior year of High School I would regularly tutor a 16 year old and a 14 year old. After I graduated High School, I attended Modesto Junior College for the 2011/2012 Fall Semester. I always say I start my tutoring with the basics. Together we will master what you already know and from there we will move on to more complex skills. For a faster response you may contact me through email at: crystal_silva11@yahoo.com

My comments on tutoring Math : I have taken math from basic math, all the way up to Calculus, so I am pretty familiar with several math topics. I took most of my math courses at Diablo Valley College, and San Francisco State University. Math is one of my best subjects!

I am currently a school-age teacher at an afterschool child development program. I have my 12 E.C.E units to teach in such an afterschool program as a teacher. I have taught a afterschool based curriculum at two seperate child development centers, for a total of 6 1/2 years. I began tutoring at Diablo Valley College in Algebra. I worked with young adults and adults with learning disabilities. I also tutored Basic Math. I have also tutored for a tutoring company in the subjects of Spelling and Reading Comprehension. While I worked in the afterschool programs, I tutored in their homework clubs. The subjects that I helped the children with were Reading, Spelling, Math, English, and Grammar. In my academic career, I began my educational background in math at Diablo Valley College. I started with Basic Elementary Math and Pre-Algebra. Then from there, I went on to higher level ... read more

My comments on tutoring Math : Any math below highschool I will be able to help with.

My teaching style adapts to the person I teach. I find a way the child it good with and go from there.
As of 2012 I am going to be a Junior in Highschool. I have passed all my classes with a C+ or higher and I am able to teach younger children great. I can relate to the kids having issues with school education because when I was younger it took alot for me to strive but I found that motivation and improved since then.

I WAS EMPLOYED THERE FOR A QUARTER OF A CENTURY!
AS WELL AS CONVENTIONAL LEARNING TECHNIQUES,I EMPLOY UNIQUE TEACHING METHODS USING MULTI-MEDIA!! IF YOUR CHILD HAS LEARNING DISSABILITES OR DOSEN'T PERFORM AS WELL AS YOU WOULD LIKE IN SCHOOL MY "SPECIAL HELP" MIGHT JUST BE THE CATALYST THAT PUTS YOUR CHILD BACK ON THE RIGHT LEARNING TRACK!!

I am going to be a college student by the end of this summer. Even though I do not have much teaching experience, but I love to learn with students. Since I am a student as well, I would know better how students want to study and what way would make the studying more efficient. These are the subject I have leaned. And for Chinese, I was born in China and know how to listen, write, and speak Chinese.

Math and Java Tutor

Hi, my name is Abiodun ("Abi" for short) and I am a double major student in Mathematics and Computer Science at Modesto Junior College. I've been tutoring independently throughout my high school years, and now I work as a tutor for the Modesto Junior College Math Drop-in Center. The one and only reason I'm majoring in Mathematics is because of my love for the subject; as a tutor, I not only share the knowledge of the subject I love deeply, I teach my students shortcuts and highlight the over-arching concepts, rather than have them watch me solve problems and try to copy my every move. My methods not only give my students a better grade, it gives a deeper understanding of the subject. Furthermore, I am a student just like you; I understand your struggles, and will work with your schedule. My job is to create successful students, and I will do what is necessary to meet that objectiv ... read more

Math is one of my top subjects! Can tutor on any math course high school calculus level or below (no statistics). 790 SAT Math, 800 SAT Subject score, currently majoring in physics at Dartmouth College.

My formal tutoring is limited to tutoring a freshman-level Physics study group at Dartmouth, but I've extensively participated in study groups for most of my schooling since high school. I have utmost confidence in my ability to logically convey mathematical and linguistic concepts in a way that helps students not only learn how to pass their tests, but also how to learn and comprehend new concepts independent of my tutoring. My ultimate goal is to help students think and study smarter, and also to help provide a bigger picture of how their current curriculum could influence their future careers and aspirations. I'm currently a rising senior at Dartmouth College, majoring in Physics after having participated in a study abroad in Tokyo.
I am one of the most logical thinkers I know, so my teaching style is geared toward understanding individual concepts under the framework of analogo ... read more
