Award-Winning GRE Tutors in Santa Ana, CA

...can occasionally be rather intimidating. I try to make myself as relaxed, fun, and seemingly approachable while I am teaching/tutoring as I can to lessen the intimidation factor of that crazy dead language we're learning. Although I grew up in Boston, I moved to Los Angeles in 2006 to enroll at USC and (in large part due to the weather) have never left. At the moment I spend most of my time as a full-time...

...am excited to explore and learn more. In my free time I like to read psychology books, practice yoga, and play volleyball. I love playing and watching all sports from football to soccer to basketball to ping-pong. And of course, I love teaching. Time goes quickly when I teach because I really enjoy it and rarely do I ever regard teaching as "work." I enjoy helping students and find it rewarding when a student learns...

...as well as internships serving the communities in which I have lived. I am passionate about a career in public service, and helping others succeed in pursuing their own dreams -academic or otherwise- is very fulfilling for me. I have experience with both formal and informal tutoring, and I tutor in essay writing, standardized essay writing, and study skills at all levels! I believe that anyone can write and communicate well, as long as they...

...level to really understand it. This is what my tutoring style targets. I spent the past 4 years teaching Math and Physics professionally. Before teaching, I spent 3 years tutoring at a university where I earned my BS in Biomedical Engineering. 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...

...of learning in my students, so they do not feel pressured in the process of advancing their knowledge in the subject area being taught. This helps both the student and the teacher to move forward with the process in a much smoother and enjoyable manner. My favorite subject has been - and is still is - math at all levels, followed by science. In my spare time I enjoy sports (cardio, running, biking), and reading.

...same way that my favorite teachers helped me to. I earned my BA in Environmental Biology from Columbia, and later my MFA in Film & TV Writing from USC, but I have always remained a math enthusiast (okay, nerd) at heart. I always found that my best math teachers taught me to be creative about breaking down hard problems into easier problems -- and not to simply try to memorize everything. This is the same...

...at different levels (from middle school to college) and with different learning styles. I want learning Latin or any subject to be as enjoyable as possible for the student, so I will experiment with different techniques and exercises until the student and I can find what's most fun and effective. I tailor my teaching to the student's personality and try to make studying the subject an intrinsic motivation (i.e., worth doing for its own sake)....

...of trying to connect academic subjects with the interests of my students (abstract mathematical principles are less likely to capture a young football fan's fancy, for example, than is trying to calculate a favorite quarterback's passer rating), and I have a particular passion for teaching grammar, as precise language is essential for clear and unambiguous communication of ideas. When not applying for college faculty positions, taking care of my toddler daughter, or tutoring, I enjoy...

...graduate student at California State University, Long Beach. After serving in the United States Marine Corps and teaching English overseas in Prague, Czech Republic and Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam, I returned to the United States to pursue my passion for History and teaching. I received my BA from Texas A&M in History with a minor in English. I enjoy tutoring History, English, and writing. By guiding students through critical thinking and problem solving, I believe...

...16, and have experience in a wide variety of subjects, especially French, English grammar, reading comprehension, and ACT prep (for which I am Kaplan-trained). I have also been a classroom teacher, teaching French, ESL, and AP English. I love to travel and have frequently integrated that into my career as an educator: I worked as an ESL teacher at a language magnet school in China, tutored English while spending the first year of my MA...
