More About This Tutor...

In January of 2012, I gained teaching experience as a part-time English instructor for Korean exchange students (ages ranging from 13 to 17 years old). My responsibility for this job was to provide the students with appropriate exercises and assignments to assist them in improving their English reading skills. I also gave lessons in vocabulary and assignments to help them better understand the proper usage of the vocabulary words. These assignments also served to teach the students about American culture and traditions. In March of 2013, I received my MA in English from CSU, Bakersfield. I also published my first thesis. From May of 2013 to September of 2013, I gained some experience working with children (ages ranging from 6 to 22) with Autism and like disorders as an instructional aide.

My comments on tutoring Composition : I have at least ten years experience of teaching and/or tutoring one-on-one in English. As a public speaker, I promote self-esteem and confidence! I am reliable and will find out what motivates you to succeed and do your best at school or work environment. As an English tutor, I incorporate an individual approach to accommodate the desired learning style. English is one of the most important academic subjects because it is essential to have good reading, comprehension, and writing skills since all other subjects require these fundamentals.

It always depends. Each individual most of the times needs a unique approach in order to familiarize themselves with the subject that they need tutoring.
The happiest moment while tutoring is that moment when my student understands a new concept. Having an IT Diploma on my hands, I trained lots of individuals. In addition to my IT Diploma, I have a BA in Communication Studies an AA in Arts and Humanities, Social and Behavioral Sciences and Professional Accreditation at Visual and Performing Arts. My personal goal is to help students to understand complex concepts while instilling a love of learning. I specialize in tutoring English, Literature, Greek Language, General Computer and MAC Use, Video Film Editing using the latest Software and Equipment. I am also tutoring the use of Operating Systems for MAC and PC focusing to people that just got involved with the technology and need a ... read more

I go by Matt. I have been tutoring for the past 10 years and have had the opportunity to work with a diverse group of students having different skills and skill sets. After years of tutoring it has become clear that the best way to help improve a student's understanding in a subject area is by being able to give them the individualized attention and guidance that they may need. Because I am able to communicate with a diverse array of people and because of my proficiency in teaching the subject matter I intend to teach, I am able to reach out to my students and help them think critically while getting them to become more self-reliant in problem solving. This is partly due to my versatile teaching style as well as my ability to help my students think outside the box, especially as this applies to understanding complex mathematical concepts as well as being able to solve multi-ste ... read more

Student 2 Student

9/2003-3/2008 TA @ SOL Christian Academy im Torrance. 10/2008-9/2009 Tutor @ South Bay Academy in Torrance. 10/2009-6/2010 Contracted Tutor @ Classroom Clinic in Hermosa Beach. 8/2010-Present Supplemental Instruction Coach (Tutor) at El Camino College. Since 9/2005 I have also worked as a private tutor.
I am a big believer in explaining concepts repeatedly until a student understands so I have a lot of patience. You need to with math. I remember how it was learning all those concepts for the first time. I try to use steps as much as possible so my students always feel like they have a way to get to their destination from any point in a problem. Beyond that there's not to much to say. I'm a firm believer that a person does not truly understand a concept until they have practiced doing problems over and over.

More About This Tutor...

I had experience teaching the selected areas of teaching for a good number of years. I had also completed many courses in colleges and universities in these areas. I enjoy teaching and learning in these areas. My students comment many times that they enjoy my teaching, and that they are learning a lot from my teaching them. I ask probing questions to students as I teach to determine the depth of their learning ,and know whether I need to reteach what I have taught them or whether to go on ahead. I apply patience as possible to make sure every one of my students are following. I have taught both middle and high school for a good number of years in my home country of Nigeria. I am presently substituting in many LAUSD and Lynwood School Districts.

More About This Tutor...

I believe that all learners are capable of high achievement if they receive appropriate support, and with a recent Master's Degree in Education, I am well-versed in current best practices. I have a student-centered approach that involves assessing student needs, interests, and learning style and developing learning activities and approaches to assigned material based on this information. I believe that learning should be fun and lifelong learners are made when students enjoy learning. Though I am very focused on using tutoring time productively, I also find ways of making learning fun and meaningful.
I have always been passionate about education and while still in school, I worked with America Reads, with a youth music program, as a private tutor, and as a creative writing TA. After graduating summa cum laude with a BA in English, I earned an MA in Education and a Teaching Credenti ... read more
