Physics is one of my top subjects! Having freshly recieved a degree in Phyiscs, I am confident in my abilities to explain any high school or undergraduate level material.

Problem solving is the best way to learn a technical skill. For instance, in mathematics homework usually consists of a set of problems that the student must solve. By watching how students approach and solve these problems, I can both assess the student's understanding of the material and help them make the logical connections needed to better understand the material. Additionally, I encourage students to adopt the mentality that science and math can actually be fun and a worthwhile use of time.
Throughout high school I tutored students aged 9-14 in a variety of subjects ranging from math to music. I have also tutored informally as a college student, mostly helping coach peers through lower-division physics or math series. In addition, I volunteered for 5 years as a teachers assistent in an elementary and middle school setting, so I understand the dynamics of working with (sometim ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Throughout the course of my education, I have had the opportunity to work with many great instructors and professors; learning the qualities and characteristics of what comprises an effective teacher. I currently possess two degrees, a Bachelors of Arts in Social Science with an emphasis in Teaching Preparation and a Masters of Science in Environmental Management. While I consider myself highly competent and comfortable teaching anything within California’s kindergarten through twelth grade curriculum, my strengths lie within my background and education in science and mathematics. I have also garnered over two years of providing instruction in preparing for the SAT.
Over my years of experience providing supplemental instruction to a diverse range of students, I have found that I possess a breadth of knowledge and interpersonal skill-sets that make me an effective teacher. I teach f ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Throughout my undergraduate studies I have tutored both science and math profusely. My specialties are chemistry (college or intro chemistry), organic chemistry, intro to physics and biochemistry. Because I know biochemistry so well,I am able also able to do cell molecular biology, and fundamental biology. Other than science, I am very proficient at math, I can teach up to pre-calculus level. However, nothing is better than to mingle both math and sciences together to enhancing my comprehensive abilities. I have taken Calculus based Physics, which helped aided me to understand both calculus and chemical properties that provided a deep insight in my studies. And I am not timid to share my profound knowledge that will aid you!
In my opinion there’s never a dull moment when it comes to science and math. I am severely enthused when it comes to particular subjects that I love. And I am ... read more

I augemnt this wirh humor and letting them show me what they have learned by having thtem show me how they would work through the problem.

More About This Tutor...

I received a Bachelors of Science in Materials Engineering from San Jose State University and have had over 5 years of engineering experience. I have an educational background in physics, math, chemistry, engineering and biology. During my educational and professional experience I’ve had involvement in various facets of semiconductor, polymer and metallurgical processing as well as electronic/mechanical product design and fabrication.
I enjoy teaching grades 7 thru college level. I am patient, communicate well and eager to make learning fun. I feel that most people love to learn they just have to find a reason to find it interesting and applicable to the world around them. I try to introduce concepts as they apply to real world circumstances.

Being a biology graduate from the UC system and a children’s counselor for the last seven years has equipped me with extensive knowledge and teaching skills. I hold a B.S. in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, which encompasses many other scientific disciplines and mathematical skills. I’ve also learned many grammar and writing techniques from frequent research reports and laboratory essays. After working with children and teens for many years, I have gained invaluable experience in teaching and mentoring for all grades.
I love working with children and teens. I am very sociable and students generally find me easy going and understanding. Every child has the capacity to improve and learn over time; therefore I am very patient and teach through direct practice and repetition. Given helpful techniques and proper guidance, I’ve seen children improve drastically in their schoolwork. I a ... read more

Due to my extensive experience in tutoring students of all ages, I am very good at tailoring my teaching toward the specific student's needs. I am very patient, communicate concepts in an easy to understand manner, and work hard to help the student understand the material. While tutoring math & physics, I generally explain the material first, and then work through a few example problems with the student. I then have the student solve a few problems on their own. I try to make sure that the student understands the material by asking them questions to engage them in the learning process. I am very supportive and know that a little encouragement can go a long way.
I have been tutoring since high school & I absolutely love it. In 12th grade, I tutored fellow students grades 9-12 at my high school's tutorial center in various math, science, & spanish classes. Every Sunday, I taught my n ... read more

Over the years, I have had the opportunity to develop many different methodologies, as I have had to adapt to different learning styles. I am a very patient person by nature, and I find that positive reinforcement is effective in keeping a student motivated. Although some studying may involve straight memorization, it is important to me that students walk away with a firm conceptual and/or “big picture” understanding of the material covered. My approach emphasizes critical thinking because I believe it is an invaluable tool both inside and outside the classroom.
As an undergraduate student at UC San Diego, I spent many hours tutoring my colleagues. I enjoyed this experience, and decided to begin tutoring students one-on-one. I tutored high school and college students in biology, chemistry, organic chemistry, math (up to basic calculus), and physics.

My approach to teaching math and science is to thoroughly prepare a student by first emphasizing the fundamentals. Too many students get "lost" if advanced concepts are taught too soon. Then, once a student is ready, the studies should emphasize the students strengths and interests to the utmost possible.
As an engineer and mathematician I have experience in all areas of Aerospace engineering,including management and mentoring of engineers over much of my 44 year career at Lockheed Martin. I have also tutored math, phyics, and other related subjects.

As a classroom instructor, I am conscious that one needs to constantly engage with and interact with the class. I always taught in a tutorial style, where after I've introduced the material the students must solve a puzzle or problem based on it. I believe that to engage students there must be a discovery component to the class. In a tutoring role, one can take the students strengths and build on those. Often a student has lost all confidence (and hope!) and doesn't realize how much he or she knows. By patiently building from simple problems this confidence can be restored.

More About This Tutor...

I love working with students. One on one is even better than teaching groups of thirty in my book. I also worked ten years as a Physical Chemist where I had to know Math and Physics as much as Chemistry. I have taught Math, Physics, Biology in addition to Chemistry, and tutored in all these areas. I also graded essays for the state of Georgia and so I could sharpen any students essay skills. I have lived in Africa and so am ready to work with any culture.
I believe that each student should learn to be in charge of their own education. My goal is to help them achieve that goal. I am not quick to jump in with the answer but can wait patiently for them to work through the problem. Since I learned by a very different method than my teachers tried to teach, I look for a students learning style. If he is not getting the concept, I'll try another or even invent one on the spot. ... read more
