...working toward a Single Subject teaching credential and Master's degree in Mathematics. Throughout my education, I have learned ways to make the material accessible to students with various learning styles and needs. I also taught two years in a private school to students from 5th-12th grades for Algebra 1, Geometry, Precalculus and Calculus. There is nothing comparable to helping students reach an understanding of concepts they once found foreign. In my spare time, I enjoy...

...in a start-up orchestra in New York City as a grant writer. Writing is an indispensable life skill that is too often overlooked, and I feel that my background allows me to be of help in a variety of tutoring subjects involving writing, from test prep to grammar and mechanics. I was fortunate to do well enough on the PSAT to earn a full scholarship for my undergraduate studies, and I recognize the importance of...

...they are an inspiration, in and of itself. I am currently a software engineer, but I started as an educator early in life. I began teaching as a teacher's assistant at Eckerd College. At the time, I honestly thought I had the best job in the world. I realized I aspired to see other people have those "A-ha" moments. Many years later, I'm sure I wasn't wrong. I would later go on to teach English...

...graduate school in the future. All throughout my academic career, I have been very interested in math and sciences. My interest eventually led me to pursue a degree in biology. Biology, along with subjects such as math and physics are the areas of study which I am fluent in. I have often led study groups during my time as a student and these experiences showed me that I can be very helpful in explaining difficult...

...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...

...screenwriting to city planning. My passions may be disparate, but they allow me to draw up real-life examples for abstract questions, making them more accessible to students. 'But I'll never need to use this stuff in real life' is a refrain I'm not afraid to challenge. I hope to give students a new perspective on not just the importance, but the utility and beauty of math, no matter what field they plan to go into....

...showing soldiers how to most efficiently perform their duties in the service of their country. As a businessman, I trained my employees how to best serve our customers. As a teacher for the past twenty years, I have taught math, drama, and English in grades 7-12.

Everybody learns at a different pace, so I think it's important to be open and adaptable to best serve each student's unique needs. I encourage students to ask questions, and see wrong answers as an opportunity for constructive feedback. Ultimately, I want tutoring to be something exciting and engaging for students...

In my experience helping struggling students succeed in their classes, we always seem to have the lots of fun (with remarkable advancements) completing the homeworks and preparing for the upcoming exams. I am a optimistic and patient tutor, believing in each and every one...

...my students. Very patient when I tutor as I enjoy tutoring and find my joy when someone says "I got it". People always complain about Math because schools don't teach them how to connect it and apply it to their real life situations. There is so much fun and beauty behind Math only when it's taught in a right way! Recently, I achieved a new record for Math tutors at Santa Monica college by tutoring...

...possible, and that each lesson should be tailored to a student's particular learning styles and needs. Bottom line, I love working with people and helping them grasp intimidating concepts. Learning should be exhilarating, and I always try to facilitate that thrill.

I am a determined, responsible tutor that will help students succeed academically. As a student myself until not too long ago, I understand the importance of getting clear instructions and having supportive instructors.... I put myself in the student's shoes. I often ask myself, if I'm the student, what will be the most confusing part?... I ask the student what is bothering him and what he knows about the subject.... I teach the student the strategy...

...in order to make the problem personal. While I love tutoring all subjects, tutoring Math is definitely my favorite! Throughout my tutoring experiences I have tutored students from a wide variety of cultural and religious backgrounds, and I have enjoyed each and every experience! If your student is either struggling or exceling, but would like to delve deeper into Math, Science, English, or Test Preparation, then I would love to help your student meet his/her...

...was employed at SCC for over three years while attending ASU as a math tutor helping students with their homework, preparing for exams, and/or grasping the subject matter. My favorite subjects are trigonometry, geometry and calculus. I enjoy leading students rather than supplying the answers, to stimulate problem solving methods and promote independent thought. I really enjoy helping students reach that "ahh" moment where they get a handle on a difficult topic. I enjoy reading,...

...about or never believed to be as intertwined. For example: is it simply coincidence that the studies of astronomy and philosophy tend to happen at the same time for early cultures? Or that early arithmetical and geometrical proofs were found to exist in natural formations? I find that once connections and insights like the previous occur with the learner, passion begins to grow, and education no longer becomes a requirement, but a self-employed pursuit. In...
