Ambitious and yet Capable, Courageous but still Realistic.Many might define my goals in life to be quixotic and visionary but the inspiring phrase "Nothing is impossible" clings closely to my every decision. I am passionate about living life to the fullest and making a difference in the lives of others.

I recently moved from San Francisco to Atlanta to study pediatric nursing and public health at Emory University. I am thrilled to be in this beautiful city and feel so fortunate to be embarking upon my graduate education. I have always been passionate about learning and enjoy helping others reach their personal and academic goals. As a dedicated facilitator, mentor, tutor and coach, I look forward to working with you to build upon your strengths as a student. Whatever your interests, challenges, and ambitions might be, I will support and guide you in realizing your potential.

A graduate student in economics with 14+ years of executive experience in international trade and research and administrative experiences with University of California Davis and University of California Berkeley.

I studied mathematics during undergrad and fell in love with using logic and numbers to sift through the world.I then went on to obtain two masters degrees in economics. I love economics because it is a smart combination of statistical rigor and humanity.I also was an economics Ph.D. student in University of California, Davis studying theoretical microeconomics and econometrics for 3 years before I dropped out in 2019.I realized that what I love the most is applying knowledge to solve real world problems and help other people understand things.I still love economics but I am much more into applying statistics, econometrics, and programming to solve real problems.I fell in love with teaching during my Ph.D. years. I love to see how students can really understand things if they find the right way -- the right people or the right recourses -- to learn from. I want to be students' right kind of way to learn!I strive to try my best to use what I know to help students solve problems and understand things with more clarity.I firmly believe that seeing things from different perspectives is the fastest way to gain real understanding.

I am a recent graduate from CSU Long Beach where I obtained my Master's degree in physics. Before my time in Long Beach, I was a student at UC Davis, where I obtained my BS in physics. I am currently looking to pursue my Ph.D. in physics once accepted to a university. Since my graduation in December, 2013 I have been in the teaching work force. I am currently teaching part-time at both Santa Ana College and Cypress college, where I am an instructor pf physics and astronomy. I also am teaching at local academies as an AP physics instructor for the summer. In addition to this experience, I was teaching for three years during my graduate program teaching lab courses in physics cover topics such as mechanics, electronics, magnetism, and Optics. I enjoying teaching these topics very much, and I love to hear students becoming more fluent in the language and application of the topics. It is truly the greatest reward as an instructor. My teaching style focus around a bottom-up approach. Since I am convinced memorization in physics/astronomy is not useful, I stress learning the most basic form of problems and modifying them based on the question being asked. It may be more difficult for some students, but I believe it leads to a mastery and will make students much more versatile to different questions/topics. When I am not tutoring, I am usually acting in a show or auditioning for film/commercials. I love to hike, run, and play video games in my downtime. I like to think of myself as a highly functioning, active nerd. I look forward to meeting any prospective students interested in learning these amazing topics in the world of physics and astronomy.

I believe that the role of a teacher goes beyond the sharing of academic knowledge; it extends to providing mental guidance for students as well. Jim Henson once said, "[kids] don't remember what you try to teach them. They remember what you are." With the belief in mind, I try my very best to be a role model and inspire my students to act and speak with integrity at all times.I graduated from University of California, Davis with a B.S. in Mathematics and a minor in Economics in 2008 and have been teaching ever since. In the past seven years, I've come in contact with about a thousand students at various ages. I learned to design, scaffold, and explain concepts using different methods according to students' best interests. I also worked closely with learning specialists to modify lessons and assignments for students with different needs. I've created common core aligned assessments that targeted students' ability to understand and explain core concepts. I've always been looking for ways to better my teaching because It is truly satisfying for me when i can make a difference in a child's life!As an experienced teacher, I believe that while teaching can be tough, it is one of the most rewarding jobs! I teach with a passion and I believe every child is capable of learning and achieving any goal they have in mind. My previous background in classroom environment has afforded me the skills to become a great tutor and I can't wait to meet my students!

My Name is Ryan Joseph and I have over a decade of 1-on-1 tutoring experience with an emphasis on both the AP Language and composition and AP Literature and composition exams. I specialize in creating personalized learning plans and tailoring instruction to students individual abilities, interests and goals.

With a Bachelor's degree in Japanese from the University of California, Davis, N2 level achievement of the Japanese-Language Proficiency Test, and a decade of experience living and working in Japan, I look forward to help you with foundations and nuances of Japanese and be a partner on your language learning journey. My teaching philosophy centers on creating a supportive learning environment where students feel empowered to take risks and engage deeply with the material. I strive to connect with my students on a personal level, tailoring my approach to meet their unique needs and learning styles. I am dedicated to helping all students succeed, fostering their confidence and Japanese skills.

As a graduate of the UC Davis Linguistics department, I can empathize with the harsh demands of academia. For students of any age level, I believe striving for the best is a huge indicator of future success. Having an academic guide can truly be the key to the future, and I would love to help you and your family in the pursuit of the best education!

My first summer job out of college changed my career path from medicine to biology research--I cloned and characterized one of the first K+ channels in mammals. I also worked with Roy Britten, the discoverer of "junk DNA," on retrotransposons in marine invertebrates and published a paper with him. Since then I have completed my PhD from New York University and contributed to the field of neuroscience with a long history of high-impact publications in ion channels and neurotransmitter receptors, as well as genomics and structural biology. My interest in teaching grew when I got a position lecturing in physiology, neuroscience and cell biology at the medical school level, in the Caribbean, because the experience gave me a broader understanding of biology, and the medical relevance of my research, in contrast to very specific "projects" I had embarked on in research.

I am friendly and ongoing teacher who loves to share my love of learning with students. Additionally, I have the gift of being able to understand where a student's misunderstanding lies and from there, I'm able to explain it from their level of understanding. I'm excited for the chance to work with you.

I started off as a professional Geneticist working in the field of human genetics and then later in wildlife genetics for 22 years, as well as having spent 17 years as an AP Biology and 9th grade Biology teacher at a local high school in Anchorage, AK. I have a passion for Biology and the fields within that disciple (e.g. Zoology, Ecology, Genetics, etc.). I also enjoy bringing real-life examples into my lessons to help students grasp various biological concepts.
