I originate from the beautiful San Francisco Bay Area and have recently moved to New York with my fiancée. While I miss the steady, temperate climate of the Bay Area (seriously, it’s either kinda warm or kinda cool year ‘round), I am looking forward to the adventure of living on the East Coast and experiencing legitimate seasons for the first time!Prior my move, I tutored AP US, AP European, and AP World History, AP Government, and taught SAT and ACT prep classes for a Bay Area based College Prep Academy. I also wrote several historical and literary articles for a startup educational software developer, and worked alongside my best friend on a successful political campaign for a local city councilman. In a nutshell, I am abundantly passionate about anything history related and/or political in nature.I earned a Bachelor’s Degree in History from San Jose State University in 2010 and capped it off with a Master’s Degree in Military History from Norwich University in 2013. In my downtime, I used to constantly tinker on my Ford Mustang. Unfortunately, the ‘stang could not make the trip back east, and is currently being store with my family in California. To occupy my free time, I binge watch hot rodding shows on the Velocity channel, read fantasy novels, play video games, or simply jam out to some epic Power Metal.

I am a highly motivated tutor. I take pride in "seeing" my students accomplish the goals we set out to achieve. I have many years of tutoring experience and have assisted in their studies. My students have fun while learning a difficult new language. Because of my very own experience in learning English when I came to America, I am able to relate to my students' struggle in learning Chinese Mandarin.I am unique and a great tutor because I CARE!

I am a mama of three. I enjoy fresh air, nice scenery, spending time with my family and reading to my kids.Helping students reach their full potential and succeed is why I chose teaching as a profession and why I enjoy tutoring. I have taught primary grade students for five years. Through working with students, I have learned a lot about my own strengths and weaknesses. It is empowering for students to know that they educate me as much as I educate them. Each individual has his or her own unique set of understanding, personality, learning style and skills. As and educator, I strive to tailor my lessons to address my students' needs in order optimize their learning experience.

I LOVE helping students feel confident and excited about learning. It's so rewarding to see students overcome their anxieties and discover the joy in education. My goal is to create a supportive environment where students can not only master the material but also have fun doing it. I earned my B.A. in English and my K-8 teaching credential in California, which gave me a solid foundation in teaching and understanding students' unique needs. I've had the pleasure of working with students across a wide range of subjects, including ESL/ELL, elementary and middle school English, math, science, social studies, reading, and writing. This diverse experience allows me to really connect with students at different levels and help them grow in a way that makes sense for them. Math is definitely my favorite subject to tutor. There's something so exciting about helping students realize they're "math people" after all. I love watching them go from feeling frustrated to confident as they start to understand the concepts and see how math can be fun and logical. It's incredibly satisfying to help students break through that barrier. My teaching approach is all about balancing big-picture ideas with practical, hands-on practice. I want students to understand the "why" behind what they're learning and then give them plenty of opportunities to put that knowledge into practice. Whenever I can, I connect lessons to the real world to show students how what they're learning can actually be useful. I also make a point to tailor my approach to each student's background and strengths, building on what they already know and helping them feel more confident as they move forward.

I hold teaching licenses in both New Mexico and California. I have 20 years of teaching experience in both the classroom and tutoring environments. My teaching and tutoring assignments have been varied, ranging from working in a combination 4-6 classroom, high school classrooms involving multiple subjects, and adults studying ESL. I have also been guiding students in preparing for the GED exam since it's new format in January 2014. By working with such a varied age population in various subjects, I have learned to work with students with different and unique learning styles and processing skills. This allows me to target the specific areas of need with each of my students in order to find the most effective way to present material so they will be successful in meeting their challenges. After only six months in my previous teaching job, I was awarded "Employee of the Month" as a result of my hard work and dedication to my students. I am skilled in making a personal connection with all of my students and together we always find a way to work as a team to meet each one's individual goals. I really look forward to helping guide your student on a path to future successes.

I am a graduate of San Jose State University's graduate school of Mass Communications, and I have been a professional published magazine writer and editor for over 30 years, and a high school and college level tutor for six years. I own and operate a communications consulting company, and have been an adjunct college professor in Northern California for 12 years, teaching beginning and advanced writing, critical thinking, film analysis and humanities courses.Improving writing skills requires hands-on practice. As a writing tutor, my approach is to quantify specific concept areas that require improvement and then focusing each tutoring session with practical exercises that help students hone their skills, while at the same time recognizing personal growth and achievement to master specific goals.In my spare time I enjoy vegetable gardening, hiking, live theatre, and watching sports.

Throughout my life I've always loved to learn. Whether it be a new technology that just came out or something to further expand my knowledge of the world-- I've dived head-first into it. I am passionate about Computer Science and the related fields, and love to spread my knowledge to others. I am currently attending San Jose State University to achieve my degree in Software Engineering with a focus on graphics programming and Machine Learning/AI. What I believe makes me such a great tutor in Computer Science areas is that I taught myself programming six years ago, so I understand all the struggles that someone who is trying to learn programming are going through. In my free time I'm often playing (or creating) video games, or researching the latest technology to see if I can work it into my life and experiment with it.

I attended college in California. When I started I definitely thought I would be an engineer. After 3 years, I decided that I was not really interested in pure engineering - it was too dry, boring, and impersonal for me. I finished with an entirely different degree - a Bachelors in Psychology. After I graduated, I found the ideal job - helping engineers design things that people can use safely and easily. The job is called Human Factors Engineering. Later I went back to school and finished my engineering with a Masters in Industrial and Systems Engineering.While I think working as a pure engineer would be boring - I do appreciate the logic and precision of science and mathematics. These are tools that allow us to predict and control the future! Phones, computers, cars, bridges, buildings, and the space station were all created with science and mathematics. Not only are these powerful tools, but learning math and science can help you become better thinkers. The logical process used to solve science and math problems can be used to solve all sorts of problems - from how to build a fence to how to make an important decision!I like to teach by using examples - it can help the student get another perspective on the concept, one that they are more familiar with. I also like to use drawings and graphic aids. And as a lesson concludes, I want to be certain they fully understand the topic. To make certain students understand a concept, I ask them to explain it to back to me - not using my words, but their own.For my own enjoyment, I like travel and exploration. A few years ago I had a chance to live in Europe for over 6 months. I also like construction - I once built my house, including plumbing and electrical work. And, although my license is not active now, I enjoy flying. I flew my own small Cessna from the west coast to nearly the east coast.

Teaching has always been my passion. Nothing excites me more than a student having an "a-ha!" moment with a topic they've been struggling with. I hope I can help you get the help you need!

I am a graduate of San Jose State University. I received my Bachelor of Science in Biology with an emphasis in Molecular Biology. I also have a minor in chemistry. In college, I worked as a tutor for the university for 2 years. I tutored in math, biology, chemistry and study skills. I also worked in a lab at school for almost 3years studying the effects of fetal alcohol syndrome. I have gone to many conferences and have presented my research in many states. Since graduation, I traveled and worked in both Biotech and the healthcare field. I have a deep passion for human health and wish to become an OBGYN or Internist soon. I have always been a mentor/tutor. I have a sister 11 years my junior and lots of younger cousins who always ask me for help when it comes to school. I have always loved science and learning how things work. Science and math are not easy subjects to learn but they are very necessary to understand in today's world. In my spare time I like to travel, be creative, hike and watch mindless reality tv shows.

Education is the passing on of knowledge to the next generation. I use an ever widening massive amount of skill, tools and technology to facilitate that.I have been doing this for 30 years in the classroom setting and online for 2 years since the lockdowns began.I got my Education Specialist degree through San Jose State University in California, but my real education came through my experiences in the classroom.I have my sights set on a Masters Degree in the future.

I believe learning is a life long journey. Every day is a chance to discover something new. I was fortunate enough to grow up with many teachers in my family, and I developed a passion for expanding my knowledge in early childhood. It is wonderful to be able to share this path of education as a tutor and offer support to students.I have a Bachelors of Arts degree in Psychology which I used to teach lower elementary classes upon college graduation. I also had the chance to be a substitute teacher for elementary and high school students.Recently, I have had the opportunity to travel through Europe while teaching ESL online to students of all ages. It was very interesting to hear how many ways that the English language is approached in other countries. I enjoyed helping my students with pronunciation and vocabulary words. It was terrific to watch their progress and grasp of another language.

I am a graduate of San Jose State University, and I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area. I have been tutoring for five years with LAUSD, the No Child Left Behind program,and private students. I’ve tutored people in Language Arts who are in Kindergarten through the 12th grade, and in math, through the 4th grade. I enjoy working with all age groups. I love to get to know each student and their particular needs. Tutoring takes patience and perseverance. These are two important character traits I used while managing my one woman property management business for fourteen years. The self discipline I have learned over my lifetime is another gift I love to share with my students. Among others, I have used the philosophy of John Wooden when working with them. He said, “Success is peace of mind which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you made the effort to become the best of which you are capable.” That’s all any of us can do, and it is an honor to help students develop their gifts and talents!

I am a recent Computer Science, B.S. graduate of San Jose State University. I have most of my experience tutoring Pre-Calculus and am able teach other areas of math such as Middle School Math, Algebra I, II, III/IV, and Calculus I and II as well as Computer Science. My favorite subject to tutor is Pre-Calculus because I know that involves a diverse mixed bag of math subjects that students really appreciate the help with.My hobbies are programming, game development and gaming. If you like either of those, I like giving examples of how math is applied there.

I have a BFA from the school of the Art Institute of Chicago and my MLIS from San Jose state. I have worked as a librarian for the past 6 years. I specialize in worthing with kids who have learning disabilities and reluctant readers. Previous to becoming a librarian I gave private art lessons and did art parties for children for a number of years. I enjoy working with people and helping them find their inner creativity. It's about the love of art, then the skills will get there. I am always learning new things. For me it is so important for kids to learn how to LOVE reading rather than focus on what they are reading.

San Jose State graduate with a BS in Biology, Systems Physiology (Minor in Chemistry). I moved here from San Francisco, CA. to pursue Clinical Laboratory Science here in Phoenix, AZ.I have tutored since I was in high school. I began coaching chess in various elementary schools in the area. During the summer I coach students to enter into competitive math competitions and prepare middle school students for the SATs. I entered a program for No Child Left Behind and mentored at-risk students in various grades, mostly focused in a high school setting. My main focus is to build on independent learning and mentor students to become proactive members of the community. I founded a nonprofit organization in college called SeriousFun and that laid the foundation to be positive and active members in the community. I believe strongly that any student of mine can be a leader and become accountable, optimistic, and confident.

As a passionate educator with a Master's degree in Molecular and Micro Biology from San Jose State University, I have over 2 years of experience teaching a diverse range of subjects, including General Biology, Genetics, and Middle School Science. My teaching philosophy centers on fostering a supportive and engaging learning environment where students feel empowered to explore complex concepts. I strive to connect with each student by tailoring my approach to their individual learning styles, ensuring they grasp the material and develop a genuine interest in the sciences. I am dedicated to helping students achieve academic success and build confidence in their abilities, which drives my commitment to tutoring. In my free time, I enjoy arts and crafts, nature walks and watching TV.

Learning should be an exciting joyful experience. If we start with what we know and seek new knowledge that connects from there, learning will be easy. The average person needs 10 times to master any new knowledge. It is totally normal to forget and need to review previous knowledge. Each time we relearn material it is easier and is more likely to be permanent. Vygotsy's theory of the "zone of proximal development" or ZPD states that a person will learn best within the range of their current development. If it's boring, it is to low. If it is confusing, it is to high. Adjusting materials (scaffolding) or providing support are two ways to provide optimal learning. See you online.

I love helping students because I enjoy teaching. My core values are goodness, kindness, and patience, and I believe that it's important to use my gift of teaching to help children. They will grow up to be adults who will shape the world, and if they're going to be successful, they need to be taught. I have a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Science and Public Health from California State University. I tutor all core subjects in elementary, middle, and high school, with a focus on biology. I'm working towards becoming an elementary school teacher. Outside of academia, I enjoy baking.
