Social / Health /Behavioral Science Researcher and Educator

I have taught three courses at the higher education level (sociology courses focused on aging). I taught private trumpet lessons for 15 years along with free-lancing and conducting.
I received my Ph.D. in Social Gerontology at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio in 2009. During my graduate training, and in the year following, I worked for Scripps Gerontology Center as a researcher. I completed a postdoctoral research fellowship in the Carolina Program for Health and Aging Research (CPHAR) at the Institute on Aging at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in August, 2012. I am currently working at Stanford Center on Longevity. My expertise centers on the factors that shape active engagement in later life, broadly encompassing two areas: (1) older adults’ capacity to be active; and (2) the patterns and outcomes of active engagement behaviors. The goal of my research is to i ... read more

I'll Teach your Student to Teach Him or Herself

I hate lecturing! I do! This is why my tutoring style is very interactive. I don't like talking AT a person, I prefer to have a conversation. My goal as a tutor is to make subjects interesting, and also to make sure they stick- so you can do well on exams. I also teach study skills in every session, so ideally you won't have to rely on me forever. I try to give students tools that they can use to teach them how to teach themselves- something they'll have to do if they're considering college.
I have worked as a tutor for 10 years in all subjects, especially focusing on ESL learners. Recently, I have worked in an ESL school (FLS International) with university age students seeking to matriculate into American Universities. Before that, I worked in South Korea teaching English. While employed at these schools, I also work part-time as a tutor- mostly for middle and high school ... read more

USC Graduate Offering SAT/ACT/College App/K-12 Tutoring

I really pride myself in personalizing my tutoring. I try to never have more than 6-7 students at a time so that I can provide the best possible personalization of teaching to each student. Additionally, being at a similar age to many of my students helps me relate to them a lot better than some older tutors may be able to; I have more recent experience with taking the same courses/tests as them or applying to colleges like them, and this helps a lot in my tutoring personalization. In terms of my teaching style, I love being able to connect with students beyond the structured environment of most classrooms and tutoring/prep academies. I try to provide my students with just enough structure so that they know how to study, how to test, etc., but enough autonomy so that they can learn how to succeed on their own. Helping students navigate this fine line is really meaningful, as many ... read more

More About This Tutor...

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 teach from the understanding that every student has a unique educational experience and that there is no one way to effectively get your point across. Utilizing patience, compassion, as well as a heightened sense of cultural literacy, I am able to help students grasp lessons and objectives that had been previously intangible. I believe that educators hold a great responsibility to their students, and take pride in the accomplishments realized by my students.
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 posses ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am very passionate about teaching. I want to do it for the rest of my life so it is something that I enjoy. I love working with children and teenagers. I want to be an inspiration to my students. I want to motivate them to love learning and to find subjects that interest them. I like to teach through discussion and interaction because I believe that the best way to learn something is to analyze it yourself. In this way children and teenagers can learn and can, possibly, find a deeper meaning in what they are doing and as a result enjoy it. I also try to motivate my students to take control of their own education, to think critically, and to feel better about themselves through learning.
I am currently working towards my BA in Humanities at San Jose State University. After I complete my BA I will enroll in a program to get my teaching credential in language arts. I have wr ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Teaching can be a most wonderful adventure. I believe every child can learn. At times students or overwhelming with new concepts, and they need to be encouraged, and praise until they can accomplish the task at hand. I enjoy seeing the appearence of awareness on a childs face, when they have accomplished a goal, or solved a problem they had difficulty solving. I believe tutoring a child can be a powerful tool, and it can also unleash a potential genius.
As a graduate, I've been very blessed to have received a degree in Business Communication. In college I learned how to become a better educator, and communicate with them on the highest level. Although, I tutor in all of the academic areas, I also enjoy helping my student appreciate the art of becoming a good writer, and thinkers. My students are also encouraged to read for relaxation, and entertainment. Making the education process ... read more

My style is a creative one with results.I have watched students start coming to school with confidence,prepared to meet teacher expectations instead of arriving fearful,knowing they didn't understand what to do,didn't have the materials to do it,or forgot or lost it.Demystification,respect,and rigor are what I offer my students.Responsibility,respect,and rigor are what I expect.I teach organization and empowerment techniques that give tutoring long-lasting effects, not just short-term results like a passing grade on next week's test.

More About This Tutor...

I love working with students. One on one is even better than teaching groups of thirty in my book. I also worked ten years as a Physical Chemist where I had to know Math and Physics as much as Chemistry. I have taught Math, Physics, Biology in addition to Chemistry, and tutored in all these areas. I also graded essays for the state of Georgia and so I could sharpen any students essay skills. I have lived in Africa and so am ready to work with any culture.
I believe that each student should learn to be in charge of their own education. My goal is to help them achieve that goal. I am not quick to jump in with the answer but can wait patiently for them to work through the problem. Since I learned by a very different method than my teachers tried to teach, I look for a students learning style. If he is not getting the concept, I'll try another or even invent one on the spot. ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I graduated from Saint Mary's College with a BA in Sociology in December of 2008. Throughout that time, I was employed as a childcare provider for two wonderful families who each had two young children. I organized educational and recreational activities and tutored them with their reading and writing skills. I supported, encouraged and nurtured them while also stressing the importance of learning and achieving at school. While my own achievements making the Saint Mary's Sociology Honor Roll helped me to understand how hard work, discipline and added support made me into a much more confident young woman. I then, in turn tried to project this self confidence and work ethic onto the children.
Children need to feel empowered, confident, supported and most of all listened to and respected. They will work hard to achieve their goals if they feel that they have someone they trust to he ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I come from a family with a rich history in teaching. I have several cousins, aunts and great aunts who work and have worked as teachers in the State of California. Like them, it is my dream and goal to make a positive difference in the lives of the students I teach and tutor. I have achieved this in my teaching experience by providing a welcoming and accepting educational environment where students are actively involved in the learning process. Certain theorists have helped me gain a broad understanding of the learning experience, which has helped me develop my teaching style. Two theories who have influenced my teaching style are Vygotsky's theory in social cognition and Piaget’s theory of mental development. These two theories have influenced my approach to teaching and have helped me to understand the learning process and my student's potential.
