College Algebra Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in La Jolla, CA

My unique teaching method is a combination of "Discovery" method when uniquely combined with the techniques of "Positive Reinforcement". This method of teaching mathematics is the same mode of instruction that was practiced by Socrates -"Socratic teaching"- and has an additional characteristic -"Positive Reinforcement"- that was proposed by the French philosopher Piaget. This combination is an excellent teaching method that guarantees understanding and retention of Mathematics by students of all ages. Have been teaching mathematics at high schools, colleges, and universities since 1981. I am an expert in teaching all mathematics courses offered at high schools and colleges, particularly all Algebra courses, Geometry, Trigonometry, Pre-Calculus, and Calculus I. Also, I have taught all Pre-College Mathematics courses to high school graduates. Although my highest college degree is not in Ma

I am a recently retired college and university Mathematics Professor, and have taught secondary school and "high school completion" Mathematics courses to the Navy Recruits as well. I have taught Mathematics courses to students of all ages: Elementary Schools(as a "Mathematics specialist"), Secondary Schools(Middle Schools/High Schools), through Colleges and Universities as a Mathematics Professor. And now that I am a retired Mathematics Educator, would like to help students of ALL AGES to excel in Mathematics the best I can. I use an innovative mode of teaching Mathematics - about which I wrote my Dissertation - that is a unique combination of the "Socratic" or "Discovery Method" and "Positive Reinforcement" techniques.This approach enables students of all ages to think independently, become interested and eager to discover facts and solution methods and procedures of various Mathem

I believe that each person, whether a child or an adult, possess certain unique qualities and learning styles. With this in mind, I tailor my teaching skill sets to the student's learning style, while incorporating innovative techniques to maximize their learning potential. Mediocrity is not an acceptable norm. I will do my best to help my student to achieve his/her best while doing so in a friendly and respectful environment. It is my sincere belief that one person can make a difference. It is with this in mind that I signed-up to be a substitute teacher and also to volunteer my services with Lake County to tutor basic literacy and ESL to those in need of these services. I worked as a substitute teacher from November 2004 until February of 2006. I also have experience at Literacy Volunteers of America tutoring ESL students. Learning is a lifelong process and I hope to foster and or en

I completed a Masters in Chemistry in 2009, and since then I have worked as an organic chemist in an academic setting. During graduate school, I taught college level chemistry and organic chemistry in a laboratory setting. I prepared lectures and handouts, held study groups in small and large group settings, and worked with students one on one. After graduate school, I continued to tutor chemistry, organic chemistry, and algebra to students at other Universities in one on one settings. I find that the best way to tutor is to use a combination of different methods. For example, I think that pictures/ball and stick structures, reading materials, and having a discussion about the question at hand are all useful and important ways to completely understand Chemistry. I am an extremely patient person, and I believe it is imperative to understand one topic before moving to the next. I lik

My teaching style begins with a calm and relaxed attitude. Once the student has established what he/she is having trouble with, I start going over some examples of exercises from their book. I explain, step by step, how to approach a problem or equation. Many times I will write down instructions and/or use examples. I have patience. It’s alright with me if I have to explain it several times for the student to understand the concept. I always use positive reinforcement with my students. I try to explain concepts simplistically; it’s not my intention to show the student how smart I am, rather to show them how smart they can be. I look forward to working with you or your student. My love of learning and teaching Math came after many years of trying to figure out what I wanted to be when I grew up. I have been tutoring Math at a technical school in San Diego for 7 years.

I teach through enthusiasm. I really love math problems, and I explain it like I would want it explained to me if I didn't get it. I use a "I-do, We-do, You-do" approach with the examples which works very well with students of all abilities. I have worked as a Pre-Algebra, Algebra I, Algebra II, Algebra Support, and Geometry Teacher in San Diego and with a Hawaiian public charter school for over seven years. I have also worked as a substitute teacher for multiple school districts in the San Diego area and I have successfully tutored students in math from middle school to college level Algebra.

I have taken several college Algebra courses and I have done well in each class. I just recently graduated California State University with a degree in Liberal Studies. Within this degree I chose to emphasize on mathematics because I want to become a high school math teacher. I have taken every course from Algebra-Intermediate Calculus. I am highly experienced in Algebra 1 and Geometry. I have been working at a probation school for a year and a half with at risk middle school and high school students. One of my many obligations is to help my students in math. I mainly tutor my students in Algebra 1 and Geometry. I feel that positive reinforcement and patience are two very valuable traits when it comes to teaching. I work hard to ensure that I demonstrate these traits when working with my students.

I only teach online on an hourly basis. When I teach I don't just answer the questions my students ask of me rather let them understand it for themselves. Also, I encourage them to think and analyze too so that I would know where they are weak. I also develop their interest in learning the subject . That being said, I make learning fun and appealing. I am a graduate of BS Mathematics and currently pursuing my master's degree. I have also been a lecturer for a year right after graduating. I am also a tutor in a tutorial center here in the Philippines. I teach high school and elementary students in almost all subjects but my expertise is on Math. I love to impart my knowledge to people that's why I have a passion for teaching and very patient about it.

I don't have one specific teaching style... I believe the style should be developed based on observing how the student learns best. One style would not be successful with all students. I like to spend a couple of weeks trying out methods and seeing which ones work best, then develop a method that specially fits your students learning ability. I have five plus years experience in tutoring students of all ages in all areas of math. I have tutored in math ranging from pre-algebra to calculus, and I also have experience in working with students with learning disabilities. I enjoy a challenge, and I enjoy helping students to see math in a different light. It does not have to be hard when you can make it fun. Almost all of my students have successfully brought their grades up from D's and F's to A's and B's.
