...pre-K through adults in reading comprehension, elementary school math, writing, grammar and state test preparation. I enjoy teaching writing and helping students who are having difficulty in reading comprehension.

Since I have extensive experience in tutoring, it will be my...

This time I applied to teach at two local colleges, Tidewater Community College and ECPI-MCI. I have the pleasure to teach General Biology Lab and Lecture at TCC and Microbiology Lecture and Lab at ECPI-MCI. As you can tell, I...

...rather than just drilling them. Sometimes this is a matter of the student's learning style, in which case I adapt my teaching style to that and help them develop studying habits suited to their way of learning. Sometimes it's a matter of having trouble with a particular concept, in which case I'll work with the student to rethink and re-articulate the problem in terms that will make more sense to them. In my free time,...

With regards to learning, I believe there are 3 keys: practice, practice and more practice! In other words, my message to you is be not afraid. Any seemingly complex knowledge can be learned with sufficient understanding and review. I am here to guide you every step of the...

...approaching various problems. Often I let my students teach me what they have learned to gage their understanding, but if they don't understand a particular topic or problem, I like to solve the problem from various angels and approaches until I find a way that is clearly understood by my student. Outside of academia, I absolutely love music. I play piano, guitar, but my main passion is singing. I also have a passion for Pokemon,...

...sparks the curiosity of the student. I firmly believe in a holistic approach whilst tutoring students. That is, figuring out what tactics work for them, managing their timing skills in test settings, and working on analytical styles during problem solving. Watching students advance through grades is only part of the big picture. My approach is to identify the weaknesses of the student, present them with various methods of approaching problems, and provide them with sufficient...

...and an MA in Education from Cal State Dominguez Hills. I am currently a teacher in the LAUSD at a high school in the Harbor area. I teach Algebra I and a creative writing/journalism course. While my original degree is in math, I feel comfortable tutoring history, sciences, and helping edit English papers. I tutored math throughout high school and college as a side job. As a teacher, I'm choosing to tutor because I feel...

...favorite subjects to teach. As the daughter of a third grade teacher, I place great importance on education. I have witnessed the positive impact that increased one-on-one attention can provide for students. I tutor every subject with enthusiasm, striving to make every session informative and fun. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, cooking, and hiking. I also love to travel and have visited over ten countries, in addition to living in India and France.

I just finished 5 years in the Navy, and I'm headed back to Rice University this fall. I graduated from Rice in 2007 and I'll be earning a master's degree in teaching. I love math, but physics and government/history are interesting too! I love teaching in a way that's fun as well as effective - that's the great thing about tutoring; it's as individual as the student!
