My name is Quyen and I'm still a college student. I enjoy helping people with homework and tutoring. My best area is in Math but I am decent in other subjects too. Even though I am not a certified teacher nor having any experience with tutoring; however, I've had taken math all through out my education career-up to Calculus 2.
I always try to use everyday situations and apply them to math problems i'm trying to teach.

After returning to college to get my teaching certificate I taught 5th grade for one year. I then taught at a high school in Salinas, California for four years. As an elementary teacher I taught all subjects except science. I taught various history and social studies classes to the high school students including World History, honors U.S. History, Psychology and Current Events. I left teaching in 1992 to attend law school but have volunteered as a mentor on several occasions which has allowed me the opportunity to tutor children in both elementary and middle school.
I enjoy learning and try to pass along some of my enthusiasm to my students. I will work with the student to find the best methods for us to approach the material so he or she will have the greatest success. I believe that creating a structure assists in the learning process, but the structure may be different for ... read more

My background includes an undergraduate degree in History and International Studies as well as a Master's degree in Education. With this background, I have taught US History, World History, and Government on all levels from college prep to AP. In addition, I have been involved in an after school program for low achievers designed to improve classroom performance and prevent dropouts. My experience teaching AP World History has given me a strong background in teaching and developing verbal and written skills.
Teaching strategies which have worked for me in the classroom include cooperative learning groups that encourage social interaction, as well as, jigsaw groups. The use of PowerPoint presentations to illustrate the material utilizes a technology component which I find useful. Strategies for special needs students would include making sure to see if they are a visual, auditory, ... read more

While I have six years of classroom teaching experience, I've spent the 20 years since my MA in Counseling as a teacher and trainer for a variety of nonprofits. I have trained volunteers, developed manuals and curricula for children through adults, and offered seminars for as many as 200 people. My five years as a writing instructor for a community college honed my skills in all aspects of writing and drew on my BA in English, as well as my avocation as a writer. My background in counseling makes me well-suited to connect with all kinds of people. I am confident I would make a great tutor.
I love learning and communicate that enthusiasm when I teach. I am patient and kind, and very good at breaking down assignments and problems to manageable tasks. I have a creative streak that enables me to devise interesting and effective ways to help students connect with the material. I ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am most familiar with conversation, as a means of relating information and testing understanding. I think that a through understanding in any subject comes about when a student can recognize the important concepts, and how they relate to each other, and speak those concepts in words which they understand--while gaining the vocabulary and proficiency as each subject demands. Most of all, I am an interested learner, in a variety of subjects, and I am excited to share my interest with others. I have a good sense of when I am being understood, and when I am not. I ask for questions, both so that I can explain myself, and so that that subject might be brought to greater depth.
My undergraduate experience has given me both breadth and depth in academic subjects. The curriculum I've studied at St. John's includes 4 years of language (2 Ancient Greek, 2 French); 3 years of laboratory sci ... read more

While I have limited experience in teaching, I do feel that one of the most important jobs in this world is being a positive and supportive leader to young individuals. I believe the best approach to teaching is through communication and practice. I am extremely personable and lend a strong background to application of subject matter. I would be thrilled to be part of any student's learning experience, as this can help create interest and paths in their own careers.
My academic experience in both Chemical Engineering (BS) and Biomedical Engineering (MS) have given me strong background in math and sciences. As an undergraduate, I was fortunate to be part of a Chemical Engineering mentor program where I tutored underclassmen in the fundamentals of engineering. During my graduate stay, I was TA for undergrads and lead recitation sessions to help students prepare for subject matte ... read more

A major drawback in current teaching methods at schools and institutions is the absence of efforts to educate students, why they should learn things they are being taught. I try to understand the students need level of interest and proficiency prior to designing multimedia and multi methodology course or delivery methods filled with real world application and references to fill the students need. My classes and presentations are interactive, fact filled and simplistic in nature with stress on reasoning rather than accumulation of facts and information. I am looking to utilize my creative teaching methods, vast experience and innovative techniques to change a student’s perspective about what they are learning and why they have to learn.
After pursuing PhD at Dartmouth College, I have acquired years of process engineering and management experience at Intel Corporation and Biotronik ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Most of my experience has been with adults as learners--coaching, supervising, teaching groups of staff and colleagues in the mental health field, and now--teaching CPA candidates on what they need to pass the CPA exams. Prior to my work as a CPA and as a manager of human services programs, I was a clinician, working with children and adolescents and their families. I am not sure I have one teaching style. Over the years, I have learned that people learn differently and that the instructor/coach needs to first understand the learner's learning style before trying to teach. I love to see people grow and, personally, I love learning. My people skills and my enjoyment of learning are probably my greatest gifts as a teacher.
I have extensive experience as a provider and manager of human services in the field of mental health, and am recognized for my contributions to the fiel ... read more

My educational background and various positions in customer service have strengthened my time management and communication skills considerably. I take much pride in my work, always possessing strong attention to detail and a steadfast commitment to exceeding expectations. As a trained teacher I am familiar with one-on-one student tutoring and have a long-standing interest in education. Additionally, my teaching experience in Boston Public Schools included developing and implementing an after school math tutoring program for a small group of students. I created and followed specific lesson plans to increase student retention and develop self-esteem.
As an experienced teacher I am dedicated to the success of each individual student. One-on-one time is crucial to the development of self-esteem and academic success. I believe that all children have the potential to be successful b ... read more
