My comments on tutoring Logic : I am able to figure out Logic/Puzzle problems naturally, and is something that is basic for me to solve. I am a great problem solver in this subject. I use systems, clues, and strategy to answer logic questions.

My teaching style is multi-dimensional, and personally tailored to each specific student. Each student is unique and special. Everyone has a different learning style, which means each person has different need in terms of how they learn. I learn about each student, and take the time to figure out how they take in information. Also how they best understand their course material, and whether their learning style is Visual, Auditory, or Kinesthetic. Perhaps a person's learning style is a combination of these three things. When I teach, I use colors (pens/markers), diagrams, figures, counting figures(ex: colored counting bears), and a writing board to work out/solve math problems. When tutoring in Reading, Spelling, and Vocabulary I use the writing board, flash cards, and stories to help my students feel compforatble with their subjects. I listen to each one of my students, and a ... read more

I believe in Minimalism. I tutor Math from the point of view that the shortest path is the best path but everyone learns differently and finding the right method for my students is one of my main goals when tutoring. I teach students multiple ways to solve a particular problems and they get to decide which method works best for them, hopefully its the simplest method. Public School class rooms have 30 plus students and only one instructor. The low instructor to student ratio makes it difficult for more then one method to be taught leaving some students behind. When students feel they don't understand, they become self conscience of their perceived lack of knowledge making them less confident in mathematics which leads to procrastination on their homework . Besides finding the right method, another of my principle goals is helping my students grow in confidence. I want my students to enjo ... read more

Celestte Mefford, willing to teach anyone who is interested

Anyway the student catches on. No specific teaching way, I just go off of how the student learns because everyone learns in very different ways.
I am a 22 year old female, looking for work right now to support my family and my college fees. I am a very down to earth person who is very calm and it takes a lot for me to get angry with someone. I speak fluent Spanish as my heritage is Mexican and White. I am willing to teach anyone who is interested in learning Spanish. My schedule is very flexible as of right now because I do not have enough money to support myself through college so I am saving up for it.

Currently an Engineering student. Therefore, Physics and Math are my talents. Moreover, Mandarin Chinese is my first language, so I can certainly teach that, too. If you are interested, I also know how to program in C++ which is one of the hardest programming languages. I hope I can help you success and get the "A"!

My goal is to provide what i call focused fun.

A Little Bit About Me...

My name is Qiqi Peng. I am a current graduate of University of California, Berkeley and a past graduate of Modesto Junior College. I just earned my Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry in May 2009 at UC Berkeley. I also had an Associate of Art degree in Chemistry and Behavioral & Social Science in Aug 2007 at Modesto Junior College. From Feb 2006 to Aug 2007, I worked at the tutoring center of Modesto Junior College as a math/chemistry tutor.
I enjoy tutoring. It allows me to pass on my knowledge, to exercise my communication skills, and to help my fellow college students. And, most of all, it has taught me to be patient and understanding. I find teaching and helping students to be rewarding. Furthermore, I have experiences of working with third grade students for a semester. I enjoy being with children and help them understand sciences.

A Little Bit About Me...

I finished BS Civil Engineering at MIT, Philippines, which has provided me gain an excellent knowledge in many areas of mathematics and physical science. My over 10 years experience and trainings in teaching higher level math enable me to help and teach students in subjects like algebra, trigonometry, geometry, pre-calculus, and physics.
Children differ greatly to acquire knowledge depending on their learning styles and background. So it is very important to identify the student's skills and understanding and to create a conducive learning environment. I enjoy working with children and I want to provide the best I can to make a differnce in their lives. I find fulfillment to see them succeed.

I have a two year elementary teacher certificate from Fiji where I taught school for five years before I got a scholarship to study in Hawaii. I noticed a great difference between American students and Polynesian students. Polynesian students are very passive learners and will never dare ask questions in class. The teacher can do pretty much anything he/she wants to do with little or no major challenges. American students on the other hand are full of life and excitement in the classroom and ask all kinds of questions that they could think of. I have learned that I need to be more resourceful, attentive and specific when teaching in an American setting. I had a job on campus during my last two years in college fixing computers and training the professors about how to use education software to teach effectively.

Seeing the light bulb go off in my students’ head is a constant reminder of my passion for teaching. I believe that all students are capable of learning and succeeding however some students just need to be taught in an alternate manner. My style of teaching involves a great deal of patience as well as constant reinforcement to ensure proper understanding and recall. I allow my easy going and fun nature to shine through in my teaching style but make sure to keep the proper balance in allowing learning to be an enjoyable but serious endeavor. I believe that education is the key to a successful and fulfilling life and my goal is to instill that believe and capability in all the lives I have the opportunity to touch.

I love teaching. I am very patient. I believe if a student is not doing well in studies the teacher is responsible for that. I won’t give up until the student understands the topic. My job is to pull the latent potential from every child and to make them realize that what they are capable of. I make students learn from their mistakes. I give the students fun loaded learning experience. Because learning from mistakes and learning by enjoying the subject are the only two ways, a person never forgets what they have learnt.

After earning my Bachelor’s of Arts degree in Mathematics in 1990 from the California State University at Stanislaus, I entered the credential program. In the credential program at C.S.U. Stanislaus, I became well prepared for all the nuances besides teaching that goes with being a teacher. I was introduced to the concept of classroom management, assertive discipline, and establishing a warm and friendly learning environment in the classroom. I learned and developed a repertoire of hands-on manipulatives, games, and puzzles to make the learning of math more exciting, fun, and easy. Today, I still use most of these techniques although some have been altered to be more effective.

As a accomplished student, I realized I always had help along the help with achieving academic success. From teachers and counselors to my peers and older students. I began to help other with academics as early as the third grade, however I began to commit to tutoring in High School and continue it through-out college, in hopes to eventually becoming a teacher in the future.
I believe anyone can teach a subject, having enough knowledge of a subject allows one to pass it on. However, I feel what many teachers do not do is teach students how to learn. It is in my belief that teaching students to learn enables them to think independently allowing them to become more creative rather than repetitive. So not only do I teach students the subject, I teach them how to learn and apply it to every other subject.
