High School Logic Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in La Jolla, CA

I have always enjoyed working with kids- it is rewarding to see young students experience the learning process. I've been a special education teacher for the past 3 years in a large school district in Omaha, Nebraska. There, I worked with all types of students with varying learning styles and disabilities. I lead many interventions and small groups in the areas of behavior skills, reading comprehension, writing, grammar and mathematics. I am trained in several intervention programs such as Do The Math, ABLLS, and Start-In. I already have many of the materials. I have always believed, in order to be a good teacher, you must teach to the varying needs of students and realize, not all children learn the same way. I am very versatile in my teaching strategies- if a program isn't working, I rely on data and feedback to adjust my teaching. I am also very creative and will strive to make learni

I tarted tutoring Mathematics when I was a sophomore at College myself.I believe when one reads all the previous detailed information that I have given about my former "Discovery Teaching" and other related experience in Mathematics instruction ,training, and publications, at and for ALL LEVELS, it should be relatively evident that I AM ABLE TO PERFORM WELL as a tutor/Teacher/Instructor of the mentioned Mathematical topics. I have taught almost all Secondary schools, including ALL Mathematical topics and LEVELS(Elementary - "Socratic Method & Positive Reinforcement" Techniques, Secondary, Pre-College, College and University). I have my own unique method of instruction which was named earlier, an instruction mode that energizes, builds self-confidence and self reliance, and also, positive approach to discovering and learning Mathematics. In summary, I have taught Mathematics to students o

As part of my degree in linguistics I studied logic & symbolic logic as well as semantics. I take a systematic "nuts and bolts" approach that gives the student the basic building blocks so that they may become a partner in the integrative learning process that involves figuring out how to properly structure, connect & apply these integrations to form new building blocks, and so on to wider & wider integrations & applications. Graduated with honors in 2010 from SDSU with a BA in Linguistics and an TESL certificate. I double-minored in History and Geography. Worked at American Language Institute (ALI) before and after graduation as a facilitator (assistant instructor). Graduated from Mesa Community College in 2007 with an associates degree in Social Science.

Bachelor's degree in Mathematics. Logic was one of my easier subjects. I believe the best way to learn is hands on experience. If I don't find one way to help the student understand I will do my best to try another approach. I have 3 kids under 10, so I am patient with small children, but I expect them to be focused. Worked about the last 20 years in the actuarial field (short stint away to get my degree), which involves data analysis in excel and access and some programming. I received my bachelor's degree in Mathematics with a minor in statistics in December of 1998. While in school I graded lower division math papers for my teachers, I taught a basic programming language as well as ran a classroom for a virtual teacher (video taped class)

I have experience teaching and tutoring at various levels and locations, including several countries. Am flexible as to learning materials and methods depending on your time, availability, budget and resources. My main concern is how YOU can learn and retain better. Each student must understand (before integrating) their own strengths and weaknesses into their study skills and become a systematic achiever. I will assist and teach you how to empower yourself in the chosen topics. You will gain confidence in what you know (where you can excel), who you are (what drives you), what you really want (what profession/path/trade inspires you), and how to get where you want to be by creating and implementing a step to step plan to your goal(s)/success.

Not sure what class this is, but I am a good logical thinker Very patient. Usually I will explain the concept, present a practice problem, and double check to make sure he or she understands how to do it. But if possible, I will teach differently in the most effective way. I have just finished junior year of high school and will be a senior this fall. Throughout my life I have always been especially good at math. I never fail to get an A in math every year. In 10th grade I decided to skip Pre-Calculus from Algebra 2 to AP Calculus BC when I enter 11th grade. Interestingly, I still found AP Calculus BC to be relatively easy. I am the vice president of a tutor club at La Costa Canyon High School. I teach students after school all subjects. I also tutored students outside of school. During my junior year I tutored a girl in Pre-Algebra who did not understand how graphs work. I al

I strive to have open lines of communication between my students and myself. I think it is the most important aspect of teaching and learning. My students should always feel comfortable coming to me with their questions and I should always be honest about the answer. Some teachers will make an educated guess about the answer to some questions when they do not know the answer. To me, this is wrong. I am not afraid to admit when I don't know something, and will make an effort to find the answer to these questions. I also have found it very important to show enthusiasm for the subject and faith in the capability of the student when teaching. A good teacher can turn a student on to a subject or, at least, help a student to pass a course they never thought they could. During high school I acquired my first teaching position. I figure skated as a hobby and had been working at my local

My goal in teaching is to ensure that my students have a strong understanding of the subject and do not just follow a formula or recite rote knowledge. In addition to explaining concepts, I like to use models and present example problems with which the student can demonstrate his grasp of the topic. If one explanation does not make sense to a student, I try different ones until it finally "clicks". I am a patient instructor and bring an enthusiastic attitude to teaching, since I've found through experience that the best teachers are those who communicate excitement and interest. I am a graduate student in materials science at UC San Diego, and a recent graduate of the California Institute of Technology with a BS in Mechanical Engineering. I have a broad and thorough understanding of math and physics, and to a lesser degree in chemistry and biology, as well as in more specialized subje

I know personally that everyone learns differently, and teaching geared toward a specific learning style can open up vast potential in any student. I am patient and kind. My goal is to teach your child in the most effective manner and put forth my best effort to allow him/her to master the subject. Sometimes all it takes is a little different approach, a helpful teacher and some encouraging words to unlock a child’s full potential. As a law school graduate and a holder of an advanced law degree, I understand and readily emphasize the importance of education. I have my BA in Political Science, a J.D. and an LL.M. in Taxation. Earning these degrees has allowed me to become a well rounded writer and effective communicator. While pursuing my undergraduate degree I tutored math up to the level of college algebra.

I have always tried to adjust my teaching style to the students with whom I am working while at the same time adhering to the curricula and guidelines of the institution for which I worked. I have successfully worked with students at the remedial level as well as those taking Advanced Placement courses. I am patient, clear and relatively concise. I have never tired of the feeling I get when I see that "light" come on in a student's face. In fact, that is the principle reason that I teach. Although my vocation for the past 38 years has been Software Engineering, my avocation has always been teaching. I financed my undergraduate education by tutoring one-on-one at the high school level for 3 years. During my career as a Software Engineer I sought out opportunities to teach part-time, evenings and weekends. I have the equivalent of about 7 years of full-time experience teaching High School,

I have one year of experience teaching at the junior college level at Victor Valley College. I created and gave lectures on various chemistry, organic chemistry, and biochemistry topics as well as conducted lab sections for students. I wrote tests, quizzes, homework assignments, and some study guides as well. I addressed students needs and concerns via email or one on one time after class. I have a BS in Chemistry from Pacific Union College and an MS in Biochemistry from Loma Linda University. I believe that not only my scholastic background, but also my teaching experience make me a very capable tutor. I am personally, a visual learner. I try to teach or tutor students in this way as well. If you can visualize what is being shown, then it correlates much better with what you read in the subject books. I love teaching and show enthusiasm in math and science when I talk about it. I
