Entrance Exams Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Santee, CA

I finished my lower division coursework at a california community college (AHC) and earned a total of six associate degrees. While at the community college, I administered practice test for students in MESA in mathematics (Calculus 1,2,3, and 4) while also working the maximum of 20 hours a week in the campus math lab (walk-in tutoring). Furthermore, I attended and graduated from UCLA with a bachelor's degree in physics and a minor in mathematics and finished the necessary coursework to apply to all medical school programs in to the country. I tutored for side money while attending UCLA. Currently, I'm a graduate student at SDSU. I'm two courses and a Master's thesis away from receiving my Master's degree in Physics. I prefer to approach every student very slowly in the beginning to understand exactly where their trouble are. Listening is the most important attribute that a tutor can have

I have tutored HS 9-12 and undrgraduate students individually in Mathematics, Chemistry, Biology, Physics and for SAT/ACT testing since the late 1990's. I received teaching credentials for teaching 9-12 Mathematics in California in 2005. I have worked as a Math/Sciences substitute in the Grossmont Union High School District since that time. I have also worked with A+ Professional Tutoring -- in San Diego County -- and Tutor.com -- online -- for many years, in every level of the Sciences and Mathematics. I love Mathematics and I often wear my heart on sleeve; when it comes to Math, I try to infect the student with that bug. I believe that most students have issues with their immediate teaching and, as a result, feel that math has no meaning to them, hence I teach Mathematics in a contextual manner, showing deep meaning for the drills imposed in the classroom curriculums most experience da

My 5 years as a United States Marine established important core values such as tact, integrity, discipline, and commitment. I bring these values with me into the classroom. I believe that the success of a student depends more on their level of commitment than on inherent talent. However, learning must be an enjoyable experience in order for a strong commitment to be made. I am passionate about mathematics and the sciences, and this passion shows in my teaching style. Students recognize this passion, and it makes the learning experience fun. I am patient, open-minded, and innovative; so if a student is struggling with a particular topic, I find an alternative teaching approach which better suits their learning style. The success of my students is gratifying, to both student and teacher alike. I have been a straight-A student my entire life and I recently graduated from the University of N

I am a patient tutor and I understand that science is not always an easy topic for students to master. I firmly believe in modeling how problems should be solved and then allowing the student to talk through and "teach" me how to solve similar problems. In science, I believe that practice is essential to learning and that a practical and logical problem solving approach is important. Even though my students may not all become scientists, I strongly believe that critical thinking skills will benefit him or her in future scholastic endeavors and in a variety of life decisions. I have a B.Sc. in Chemistry from UCSD and a M.Sc. in Chemistry from Yale. I have been a research scientist for the past 15 years and have always enjoyed talking about and teaching others about the importance of a strong foundation in Chemistry.

As a Master’s degree recipient in English, I have developed a comprehensive background in literature and composition. Moreover, my professional history includes many years of teaching and mentoring in both in the United States and abroad, which has enhanced my ability to communicate complex subject matter to a culturally varied student demographic. In Taipei, Taiwan, I prepared, facilitated and assessed English classes for local elementary, secondary, and adult Taiwanese students. While receiving my NCLB certified CLAD credential from SDSU, I served an inner-city population of students as a student teacher at San Diego High School, during which I had implemented and practiced effective teaching strategies to accommodate students with special needs and English Language Learners.

I have always tried to adjust my teaching style to the students with whom I am working while at the same time adhering to the curricula and guidelines of the institution for which I worked. I have successfully worked with students at the remedial level as well as those taking Advanced Placement courses. I am patient, clear and relatively concise. I have never tired of the feeling I get when I see that "light" come on in a student's face. In fact, that is the principle reason that I teach. Although my vocation for the past 38 years has been Software Engineering, my avocation has always been teaching. I financed my undergraduate education by tutoring one-on-one at the high school level for 3 years. During my career as a Software Engineer I sought out opportunities to teach part-time, evenings and weekends. I have the equivalent of about 7 years of full-time experience teaching High School,

As a teacher, I can adapt to different students. From experience, it is a fact that sometimes a teacher and student conection won't happen between certain teachers and students. I however, am very flexible on my style of teaching, after getting to know my student, I can adapt to the way he/she learns and cater to his/her needs. I am a very patient person that just wants to see my student succeed. I love teaching because it also teaches me new things, it also helps me brush up on my own knowledge. As a recent graduate. I have tutored many of my friends for free when attending UCSD. I have also tutored as a private tutor in high school, and for a few months during college. I tutored kids from ages 8 to 14, teaching mostly in mathematics. I have a great grasp of knowledge on mathematics and also economics.

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 of the

As a recent graduate of San Diego State University with a Bachelor of Science in Biology and minor in Psychology, I have taken many classes in biology, physics, algebra, psychology, chemistry as well as organic chemistry. I learned how to plan, provide and educated students by teaching and tutoring sciences and English classes for four years. Throughout my working experiences, I learned how to manage and organize an efficient and instructive environment, and assist students in learning the material thoroughly. Teaching is a great way to educate and to learn. As a tutor, first, I see the student’s understanding level. I plan ahead of time and prepare proper material. However, if the material is provided, I find effective methods of teaching, and teach each student accordingly. It’s obvious that some techniques work better for some students but not others.

Straight out of college, I began substitute teaching and then tutoring individuals. I specialized in English, reading skills, history, psychology, and counseling. Now, I'm a computer tutor, a technical writer on contract, and gone through countless hours on training for these skills, and am now considering a second career as a teacher for non native speakers, for career and computer coursework, and always for writing skills, particularly technical writing. I wrote a book recently called Job Shark, to help people look for jobs, and I'm always amazed at how intimidated people are by computers and technology. Personally, I prefer hands on - lab style workshops - than endless lecturing and note taking. I like to grasp the student's maturity level and aptitude and go from there. All students need individualized attention, but it is also important to have team building skills inherent in the c
