Latin Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Milpitas, CA

My teaching style can be described as an open and honest outward expression of my own personality mixed with careful consideration of the particular needs of my students. This means that I’ll almost certainly never be one to conform to mundane and pre-scripted presentation of facts and analyses. How I teach will always involve a unique blend of my own personality and current experience, those of my students, and the material being covered. I believe that a collaborative and friendly environment makes learning fun and that fun learning equals successful learning. As a graduate student at the University of Illinois, I was responsible for a total of 58 credit hours of undergraduate instruction in Latin, Greek and Roman Myth, and ancient Greek culture. I was also the Latin instructor at Countryside elementary school in Champaign, IL during the ‘07/’08 school year responsible for curriculum d

Teaching 5-10 years of college level organic chemistry, physical chemistry, inorganic chemistry, biology, biochemistry, and intro chemistry. Also, I've served as a full time lab assistant.

As an attorney, I have always been driven to achieve high levels of excellence in my field. Over the last 20 years I have practiced as a patent attorney in the chemical and biotechnology legal areas. My training and experience uniquely combine both high level grammatical skills as well as skills in the sciences. Easy going, supportive, hard working, direct, open, and encouraging. My style is to find real world experiences to provide examples for learning. This approach stimulates students to actually enjoy chemistry instead of thinking of it as something difficult or unint

I have spent 6 years teaching university-level German language courses and reading comprehension & writing courses. Before this, I spent 2 years as a volunteer instructor of bi-weekly English language classes in Romania and Moldova. In both contexts, I have taught interactive courses for students of various ages, educational levels, and cultural backgrounds. From my background in Linguistics, I understand how language 'works'. I have a quiver full of tools to use in explaining the linguistic nuances, which I use to explain the relationship between thought and language. Additionally, I have been involved in various research projects on language usage, language change, and language learning. I approach instruction from the view that “teach[ing] a man to fish, will feed him for a lifetime”. I am committed to building on what my students bring with them, using this as a fulcrum on which to h

I have worked with children and young people all my adult life from teaching VBS as a teenager to presently being a tutor and substitute teacher. In addition to my majors, I have minors in Greek and Western Culture. I wrote a substantial Master's Thesis. For the past 12 years I have also worked as a pastor. Part of my work in this capacity involves writing and presenting two sermons every week which is equivalent to researching, writing and presenting two ten page papers every week. In addition, I presently teach Greek and Latin, tutor students in math (pre-algebra and algebra), Latin, natural science, and writing. My approach to teaching begins with having a high expectation for what my students can accomplish. Therefore, my goal is, in part, to help my students love learning and to translate the love for learning into higher achievements. I try to inspire the students In terms
