A Little Bit About Me...

I am what you might call a camp kid. I grew up spending summers in the mountains, camping and hiking and when I grew older, working. The foundation of my leadership experience was built in the forrest. For six summers I worked as an outdoor educator and adventure guide, leading groups of students through week long trips into the natural world. I believe in experience as the greatest teacher. Students are empowered when they learn from their experience and begin to flourish in themselves. At university, my enthusiasm for the outdoors lead me to the arts. I took a particular interest in poetry and short stories and immersed myself in literary life at UCSD. I was often asked to facilitate writing workshops and discussion groups, and in doing so I've found tutoring to come quite naturally to me.

More About This Tutor...

I'm a firm believer in positive reinforcement. I have dealt with my fair share of teachers who use shame as a motivator, but that only stalls students. Teaching students WHY helps them understand HOW, and it works every time. I'm confident in this method's results.
This is my first time tutoring professionally. However, it is not the first time I help others to learn. Even though I am only a college student (an English major, soon to be studying creative writing as a minor field), I have often volunteered at an elementary school in San Diego, where I worked with younger children. My tasks included administering tests, helping them with their work, and teaching proper study habits. Hopefully, I can take this little bit of experience and help any other students that need it. As an aspiring English professor, I know this will be a wonderful start to a career in teaching and of course, ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a student at the university of Alabama, I was expected to complete my coursework and a book-length manuscript to satisfy the requirements necessary to graduate and complete the program. As an instructor, I was expected to teach two courses of English Composition each semester, 25 students per class. I was in charge of constructing the syllabus, developing a reading list, and carrying out the coursework as defined in the university graduate instructor handbook, while creating a safe and professional environment to enhance the students' learning experience.
As an instructor, I preferred to set up a weekly system, so the students would know what to expect and what was due every time they walked in the door. I would start class with a free write to focus the students; then move to a lecture to support their assignments; next, I would have them break into groups to discuss the lectur ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a past high school teacher for 10 years at La Jolla Country Day School, I primarily taught 11th grade English (American literature) but also 9th grade and 12th grade (Advanced Placement--mostly European lit.) as well as semester electives like Expository Writing. Also, I was the literary magazine advisor for many years. All through college I tutored (e.g., at the Study Skills Dept. at SDSU)/taught (freshman Composition during grad. school). I truly enjoy helping students to write better, more confidently, and more readily and to read and understand literature more easily and adeptly.
I believe in positive reinforcement and encouragement and individually-applied methods to students (especially of course in a tutorial setting). Also, I believe in modeling hard work, a love of learning, and the like. What I think is crucial as well is showing and giving students tools to write ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I feel I learn as much as I teach. I value every student that I have the opportunity to work with. I have learned some students just need to overcoming their dislike of a subject. For others, a key subject building block had been built properly (as in Math) and as a result the rest of the information was sitting unstable in their minds. Finding where the support is needed and then working to solidify the skill then leads to greater confidence and greater academic achievement, Most students I work with appreciate that I am fair but firm. I want to succeed. It is a win-win.
I have recently completed my MBA at national University. I currently teach high school part time at a alternative high school. This recent experience provided me with opportunity to work with students in a one-on-one basis as well as familiarize myself with every core class offered in the high school program.

More About This Tutor...

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 subjects. I also have good writing skills gained from writing research and review papers and papers for graduate-level history classes. I am very familiar with the SAT and GRE tests and have two years' experience tutoring students in remedial classes at the high school and elementary school level.
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 o ... read more
