A Little Bit About Me...

I love working with children, especially the younger ones, but I don’t' mind working with any age groups. I believe all children can learn in many forms; some may be visual learners and some may be tactile. I believe that all children can achieve their goals if they have the right help and the right roll model to look up to. I am patient, easy going, and passionate about what I do. My goal is to provide excellence in education. I am a firm believer in teaching through practice and in providing different approaches to learning. I strive to make a difference in all my students' education and in their lives.
As the middle child in the family, I was very competitive among my siblings. I was very much driven to achieve goals that I set for myself. I have earned two bachelor degrees, a BA in Theater Art and a BS in Biology, which have enabled me to gain an understanding in various ways a ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Having the opportunity to work with and help all sorts of students has allowed me to better define and shape the methods that I use to teach and assist students. I would describe my teaching style as very dynamic. I try my best to explore what methods of thinking and presentation work best for each individual student. I typically try to present topics from multiple perspectives (eg: visually vs. abstractly). I also emphasize peeling back the layers of knowledge to a level the student finds intuitive and then rebuilding on that foundation.
I am a recent graduate of the University of Washington. My studies focused on physics, pure/abstract mathematics, applied mathematics, computer science, as well as some work in statistics and engineering disciplines. I have a BS in Applied Computational Mathematical Sciences which is a hybrid degree that focuses on all of the disciplines listed ab ... read more

I am good at tuning in with each individual's basic nature, and working with the talents that they do have but may not recognize. Through patience and a playful sense of fun, I can help people to help themselves, to recognize how they can make sense of material that at first seems daunting. I do my best to make it a team effort, to let the student drive the learning in order to achieve a sense of accomplishment. I pay attention to what works, emotionally and psychologically, for the student, and find ways to build on those successes.
During my undergraduate years at the University of Oregon, I spent several months in Mexico teaching English to children ranging in age from 6-15. During this time I perfected my Spanish as well, and wrote many papers in both Spanish and English. While pursuing my Electrical Engineering degree at the University of Tulsa, I taught Kumon math classes ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe education should enrich and engage a students mind. I work very hard to make connections for what students are learning to what they are passionate about. Through strong encouragement and support, I make an effort to give students confidence while challenging them to move forward and deepen their understanding. I strive to give students the means they need to take pride in their work. I have seen so many students flourish after having someone re-explain a concept in a way that makes sense to them. I am willing to put the time and energy it takes to find the explanation that works best for each student. I believe all my students can succeed in their lives.
As a graduate of the University of Washington's English program, I have studied a variety of concepts and theory in literature and critical analysis. I have extensive experience in writing a wide range of papers as well ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I believe strongly in the importance of traditional subjects such as grammar and composition, reading for comprehension and appreciation, and knowledge of our cultural heritage. I tailor my tutoring to the student's personal experiences and background, in order that he/she has a real connection to the material. I strive to explain fully the practical purpose of any subject we are covering, as well as how study of a given subject can, does, and will enrich the student's life, now and in the years to come. I take time to explain how each bit of new knowledge is a building block, and you must begin with a firm foundation before you can climb high in a subject area and feel the thrill at the pinnacle of your study. I like to incorporate a sense of humor as well as "reality checks" in my communication with pupils; i.e., sometimes we have to reach inside ourselves to find a reason to compl ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I graduated from the University of Washington last year with a BA in Journalism. I've also received an AA Degree from Highline Community College. Unlike many Journalism students, I have experience in arithmetic like algebra, pre-calculus and calculus. I've tutored students in math and writing, from first graders to college peers.
I am a very patient, hands-on style of tutor. I take the time and try to explain things to people who have a hard time understanding. I try to gage what the student is struggling with and also what they do understand, so I can quickly pinpoint their troubles and focus on the problem issue. Some kids need more explaining, others need a picture drawn out for them. I am good at finding what method people learn best with.

In my teaching style I strive for excellence with all my students to reach their potential while under my teaching them. I am committed to improving their understanding of concepts and skills taught and for them to learn to take responsibility for their learning, too. It is important that I observe and listen to find what method of learning suits my students best. Some need a very structured approach, while others need to learn through a hands-on discovery approach. I believe that communication is essential and possible with my students even if we don't speak the same language, with cooperation from the parents as also very important. My approach is to treat each other with respect and embrace diversity. It is my goal to make a positive impact on all my students.
I received my BA degree in Elementary Education from Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma, WA, and taught elementa ... read more

More About This Tutor...

My experiences as a home school instructor for my children at the secondary level of education, as a personal tutor for SAT and GRE test preparation, and as a teaching assistant at the university level have provided me with the requisite skills to assist students at various levels of education. In addition to preparing and presenting a full curriculum (including, music, art and foreign language) for my children over a period of four years, I also have two years experience tutoring in basic grammar and writing skills and library research techniques to university students.
My teaching style, derived from a one on one approach as both a home tutor and teaching assistant, is simple: provide an open environment in which pupils feel free to ask any question. The most important aspects of tutoring are positive reinforcement, repetition, and assisting students as they develop confidence an ... read more
