Tutor for Several Elementary & College Courses

Depending on the course and student, I vary my teaching style from the Socratic Method (with a lot of questions and answers between the student and me), as well as utilizing real world examples to reinforce concepts. Finally, I strive to move from the basics of a concept, to intermediate types of problems, and build to advanced level. By doing so, I focus on the student's increasing confidence to tackle tough problems.
Extensive experience as both a college adjunct (at 6 different universities) as well as a tutor for various courses, with particular skill assisting students in overcoming exam-related stress and learning blocks. My experience includes teaching children (8 years old and above), as well as diverse college students, including student-athletes, and those with a learning disability/hearing disability. I hold three graduates degrees--it's fair to say that I am a life- ... read more

I was a community college English teacher for 12 years at Vista Community College in Berkeley, CA (now Berkeley City College). I taught in a special program tailored to working adults who had returned to school in order to earn their Associate of Arts degrees. This was not an academically confident population. They required enormous encouragement, personal attention, and coaching. I was very successful in this position because I was willing to talk with students on the phone, meet with them after class, and even respond to their essays at length on cassette tapes--my own idea!
My approach to teaching is to provide what is needed, and sometimes that is not limited to the explicit task at hand. As an English teacher/tutor, I have often found that, rather than merely showing students how to recognize a complete sentence and use correct punctuation and grammar, the more important thing ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I really like working with all sorts of people. There is no satisfaction greater than when I can see the spark in a person's eye when they comprehend materials they had not before. Everyone can learn any material they set their mind to if they have the motivation and the proper learning environment, and of course the right teacher. It is my desire to be a great teacher, educator, and mentor.
As a recent graduate from the University of California Riverside, I have earned a bachelors of science degree from the institution. During my time at UCR I developed a passion for the sciences which was taught by dedicated professors who served as my mentors. After being exposed to many professors who have a passion for teaching, I want to also give back to the community in this way.

My bachelor's degree in English serves as an example for the effort and time committed to education and a service to academia. I learned literary skills concerning literary forms: folklore, poetry, short story, photography, personal essay, analytical essay. My two years of high school Spanish, one year of College French, and completion of breadth college requirements provide a slight ability for me to tutor Spanish and French language, computer navigation, basic algebraic math, and basic social studies. During the last three years I tutored ESL, reading, and Astronomy at Chaffey College, overlooked K-12 after-school P.E. programs with the Boys and Girls Club, and facilitated a course in wheelchair basketball and disability at UC Berkeley.
I would describe my teaching style in terms of the activity, belaying. Slack is given to the rope at times so that the climber may advance, or tr ... read more

I had full scholarship for both my BS in Computer Science and MS in Data Communications in two of the best colleges in the world. I thus have very deep understanding of Maths Physics and Chemistry. I have taught and tutored at middle & high school, ITT-Tech, The Art Institute of California -San Francisco and Menlo College. I have been an Instructor in the enterprise hi-tech industry on and off for the past 16 years. I am also a Certified Personal Trainer. I have taught yoga, dance, soccer and athletics.
I love teaching whether they are kids, high school kids or adults. I believe I was blessed to have had my college education for free and my way of giving back is teaching. I believe anyone can learn anything if one has the right teacher and environment. So my style is custom made to the person I am working with at a particular time.

More About This Tutor...

In the job I had where I mentored kids, it was a program called Lil Kickers. This program was for kids 3-10 years old where they were taught how to listen to instructions and communicate with one another. This was mixed in with games that helped their motor skills and ultimately helped them with their soccer skills. I have learned it is very important to be enthusiastic and passionate with the kids.
As a recent college graduate, I know how to work hard. I earned a bachelor degree, BS in Marine Biology from UC Santa Cruz, where I took many science and math classes. I do not have any experience in tutoring, but I have been a mentor to kids in other jobs I have had.

I am an example that having the right guidance at an early age can really make a difference. I was accelerated from level 4 to 5 based on academic proficiency, and was granted a scholarship to the most prestigious math and science high school in the Philippines, which gave me a very good foundation in math and sciences, and that knowledge made my transition into university very easy. I was then admitted to the top performing university (UP) in the Philippines, and graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Civil Engineering at the age of 20. For the last 5 years, I have been doing volunteer tutoring in Math for children in middle school and for those who are reviewing for high school and university entrance examinations .
I love working with children. I can easily build a rapport with kids, making them more comfortable because I believe that learning should also be fun and enjoyable. ... read more
