Got an A in both a high school psych class and college. I am currently in college, attending Chabot College. I was recently in a 4 year college down in Pomona, CA for a quarter, Cal Poly Pomona, and in a couple of years I will be transferring Cal Poly SLO. I passed my high school years with A's and B's and have also been passing my university/college classes with the same. In high school, I tutored kids for free and a lot of them were in grades above me. Near the end of high school I started teaching younger kids through care.com. I absolutely love tutoring and I think it's amazing to watch a child's mind grow right in front of you. I decide how best the child learns before making a full plan of how to help them.

The one thing I love about tutoring is helping someone, who is struggling, succeed. I've worked with students from diverse backgrounds ranging from middle school students, college athletes and graduate students. I'm am patient and considerate. As far as my tutoring style, I like to guided my students and teach through experience. For example, having the student work through problems step by step make sure they know how to solve problems and also understand the overall concepts. In addition, I promote good study habits and show students how to prepare for exams within a particular subject. I'm very good at simplifying complex concepts. I earned my Bachelors of Science in Psychology with minors in Chemistry and Biological Science at San Jose State University. As an undergraduate, I was an honors student.

My tutoring style is accommodating yet focused. I am keenly interested in what is relevant to the student, especially when there is room for creativity and flexibility in our tutoring times. I’m very prepared and organized for the lesson, but I am sensitive to students' input for each lesson. I strive to provide meaningful lessons and assistance to reach students’ goals. I incorporate games and activities with young students to review and solidify the students' understanding while maintaining a positive atmosphere. When the student looks forward to lessons, they are more willing to focus when the lesson is more difficult. With older students, I try to use relevant and interesting themes or material to keep the lesson enjoyable. From 2003-08 I taught piano and tutored children and young adults in the Vancouver area in French, Language Arts, elementary Math, advanced ESL skills (writin

During the ups and downs of my undergraduate career, I became self-aware of the challenges that a student faces, especially within subjects that are not his/her strong suits. I believe the best approach is one where self-motivation from within is encouraged, as any subject is difficult without the right motivation. To identify the right motivation, as a tutor back in 2001, I took time to discuss with the students their interests and goals. By understanding them on this personal level, I felt it was easier to connect with them and make them realize that their success was of great importance to me. As a graduate from a top-10 university and from graduate school, I know what it takes to get into a top program and succeed at a high level. In the past 5 year, I have been working as a consultant in the environmental industry, but want to take some time off now to explore other interest.
