...I switched from a career in engineering to one in education because I just love working with kids, teenagers, and young adults. For me, coaching a teenager to improve his jumpshot beats educating a client about a new product; and helping students prepare for the SAT trumps preparing for a design-team meeting. Having taken a year away from teaching to pursue a Master's in Counseling, I look forward to mentoring and sharing life with students...

...joy I feel when my students reach their academic goals. I believe that education is the key to success and I want to do my part to help others achieve their ambitions. As a tutor, I am very patient, prepared, and explain concepts in simple terms. When teaching, I show students how to do a problem, ask them to do one, and then have them teach it to me so that the concepts are reinforced....

...As far as classroom management goes, my usual practice is to use preventive and supportive behavior strategies more than corrective. I achieve this by engaging lessons and clear expectations. Students interested and engaged in learning do not as a rule choose to be disruptive. If there is a need to correct student behavior, after the correction I give the student a fresh start and treat them as I do other students. Finally, I find creative...

...a surfeit of subjects, I am most passionate about Computer Science, Math, and Biology. I have been a tutor for elementary and university students alike, and it is always my goal to help my students reach a level of self sufficiency that will allow them to succeed in their endeavors. I believe that learning can be accelerated by the presence of a tutor, but at the onus ultimately lies in the student's hands to put...

...social activities including trips to the South African Embassy in Washington DC to facilitate student participation and retention of key Model U.N. concepts.

...subject to tutor is Trigonometry. I like tutoring this best because there are a lot of new functions and identities students have never seen before, and I want to help them through it. In my style of teaching, I believe it is important to go through every step of a problem. I am very detail oriented and like to walk through step by step so that the problem is easier to understand. In math, practice...

...also currently pursuing at the conservatory level. My tutoring style is very student-based, where I pay close attention to what concepts they are most struggling with and break down complex ideas into more manageable chunks. Also, I believe the SAT tests more critical reading than any other skill, and I encourage students to be very detail-oriented about what the question is actually asking. Through tutoring at Chapman, I am used to students coming to me...
