Let Tyrone educate your child!

Accomplished reporter/writer, Los Angeles Daily News. Teacher's Aide, Los Angeles Unified School District. Bachelor of Arts, Journalism, CSUN. Over the years I gained a wealth of experience and training to work with professionals in journalism and in education. The two are related, because they are a part of communication, to work with people and to help someone get an education.
My teaching style encourages a person to ask questions, to think independently, to challenge themselves, to use language they can understand, and my style is strict, but flexible.

Chess is one of my top subjects!

At age 11 I achieved the title of Master, and since then have become an International Master (with 1 Grandmaster norm), 5-time National Champion, North American Junior Champion, and am currently the #1 19-year-old on the west coast of the United States. Without chess instruction from the most patient, inspiring, and hardworking chess coaches none of this would have been possible. I began to play chess at 7 years old and after my coach ended our first class by saying, "Every champion was once a beginner" my youthful imagination ran wild and I was hooked. My early development in chess proved to be nontraditional where my structured classes provided by my school were supplemented by the aggressive, unconventional playing styles I learned from spending my weekends sneaking games in with hustlers at my local chess park. Yet learning these vastly different approaches to the game allowed me ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have tutored English as a second language to foreign students at the University of California, Riverside. I received high marks as a tutor and was constantly chosen to tutor students in either one on one settings or small group settings in English. I have been asked to return every quarter that I participated in the program I have experience in helping people in regards to history, I have checked and proof read many essays in regards to the subjects of history for accuracy, research, and flow of the particular subject of the composition. I received high recognition in many of my history classes and consistently scored the highest grades in many of my history classes. In regards to helping high school and junior high I typically reviewed the material with people and adjusted my tutoring in order to better help the student on how they learn and how the professor/teacher tested thei ... read more

homer_azizgolshani@yahoo.com                                                          (818)424-7014 To whom may concern   I have six years of experience in working with children of various ages (from infancy to the age of seventeen).

More About This Tutor...

Graduating from engineering at Penn State exposed me to a lot of math. It also exposed me to many tutoring opportunities. I tutored many of my fellow students. I was also tutored in other subjects, thus I also became aware of how to tutor from both sides. After obtaining a job, I volunteered for the math tutoring program at my company. By the next year I ran the program. I have successfully tutored children and adults to their goals in math (and also science, history, and other subjects).
I enjoy tutoring, both with children and adults. I enjoy being able to take something that people deem as difficult and explain it in a way that they can understand it and apply it like they never did before. I am very patient and friendly and can relate to my students. I am also good at having them relate to the subject, thereby showing them the importance of what they are learning as it perta ... read more

More About This Tutor...

My passion is my teaching. I have used my BS in Chemistry to work in the technical, sales and EH & S fields in industry. I have spent the last fifteen years training engineers and technicians in the industrial world. After my children graduated from college in the summer of 2008, I went back to school and earned my teaching credential in Secondary Education-Science. My enthusiasm for teaching applied science and mathematics to young students has given me high marks in my Graduate program. While going to school at night, I have been substitute teaching during the days. I have been a registered tutor out of the Ventura Unified School District for Algebra, Geometry, Chemistry and Physics.
I love to share my "hands-on" experiences of the physical world with the students I teach. No matter their age, students can be captivated by the physical world around them. Science doesn' ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I feel that I’m extremely qualified to teach and help any student that is struggling in school. Most of my life and career have been spent studying and learning a multitude of subjects. My years of experience in engineering and land surveying will directly translate into creating a confident and successful student. As an assistant land surveyor/engineer, I have over a decade of experience working on private and public sector development projects in the Southern California area. In addition, I have a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering which concentrated heavily in mathematics and design.
Every student has a different style of learning, and it is the tutors job to tailor a learning plan that will help the student succeed in school. As a tutor, it is my goal to help build skills and confidence that the student lacks in a certain subject. I will be patient, cooperative and hard w ... read more
