Award-Winning Calculus Tutors in Carlsbad, CA

...in no way a disciplinarian that enforces over-practicing. When I teach and when I learn I draw associations so concepts can be readily remembered - this is especially true when learning a language or when understanding math/science concepts. In my free time I enjoy being active! I like most sports and outdoor activities but recently Ive started to refine my rock climbing skills. When time permits Im also an avid traveler and foodie, I like...

...in which I want to inspire the students to see that learning can be fun rather than be a chore; to have great understanding in any subject requires hard work, but the reward is in knowing and having the confidence to say "I am an expert in this field." I believe in actively engaging the student while teaching, rather than just disseminating information. In my free time, I love to go hiking and camping, read,...

...subject specific tutoring, complete understanding of the material at hand is of paramount importance. My goal in tutoring is to provide student-oriented, clear, easy-to-understand breakdowns of difficult concepts and present them in a digestible manner in correlation with textbook-level rigor and proof. In doing so, I am confident in my abilities to completely remove any superficial points of understanding and replace them with the student’s own deeper understanding. Quality in each tutoring session is my...

...clarity of math. I also sometimes end up conceptualizing concepts in a different or more fundamental way than I did previously, which leads me to understand the subject more deeply even while I am tutoring it. I try to tutor in a way that involves asking the student questions and leading them to discover the answer/procedure for themselves, so that they understand why they are using certain methods and can apply them to novel situations...

...with students on subjects they have been struggling with is when we finally master the concepts. I believe education is absolutely necessary to improve and enrich one's quality of life In my spare time, so when my student's grasp a better understanding of their schoolwork, it's a success for both of us. In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, and watching Premier League Football on television.... I use the first session as an opportunity to assess where the student is in terms of the class/test he/she is preparing for. Depending on the class/test, I use this time to proctor a diagnostic assessment, and I talk to the student about what he/she is struggling with to understand what we need to work on.

...and I respect that, since each person has their own preferences in academic subjects. My focus is on helping you by explaining the math in a way that makes sense to you. I believe a personalized approach to learning and education works better than systems of the one-size-fits-all type. I have over 20 years of classroom teaching experience (mostly in college), as well as over 15 years of private tutoring experience. For ten of those...

...I have helped students (including medical students doing hospital rotations) succeed in academics. I have improved a lot in my teaching methods and make each session high energy and interactive. Most recently I did a pediatrics internship at UCSF-Fresno, but with my background in the biotechnology industry, I'd like to go back into research. I enjoy math almost as much as Biology/Medicine and am willing to teach most math topics through Calculus in addition to...

...in favor of rote memorization of formulas, principles, and the like. This is perhaps part of a wider philosophy of mine, which results in such simple hobbies as hiking, sailing, and reading books. My voracious reading habit is also a symptom of burning curiosity of how the world works, and how we might manipulate it. I leave you with a relevant quote from Dorothy Parker: "The cure for boredom is curiosity. There is no cure...

...and relate them to their own experience. I work with my students to develop problem solving skills. I believe that being independent learners helps individuals push successfully through most academic and work related situations. Therefore, I try helping students develop strategies and skills that better enables them to learn any subject on their own. In my free time, I enjoy reading (especially fantasy novels), painting/sketching, cooking, playing board games, and taking long walks.... As a teacher, my main goal is guiding students to develop learning skills and a profound understanding of any subject they are studying. Teaching is much more than sharing academic knowledge. In my teaching, I push them to become resourceful independent learners. To the best of my ability, I guide them to gain the skills and confidence to master their academic and professional goals.

...solidify their understanding. I wholeheartedly believe that with some organization, perseverance and passion (and a bit of fun) one can accomplish any goal they have in mind. These are some of the transferable skills that can be taken beyond academia and into daily life. Outside of tutoring, you can find me either a research lab or training for a race. Besides my ongoing engineering research project, I enjoy outdoor activities immensely and actively take part...
