I am currently working towards a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics, with a focus on probability and statistics, at the University of California, San Diego. I've tutored mathematics when I was in high school for a year, have informally tutored friends and family, and am currently tutoring a student taking Algebra 2 in community college. I tutor math up to Calculus 2, SAT II Math, and SAT test prep. My favorite subject to tutor is math because I love problem solving and the precise logical 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 rather than depending on rote memorization. Outside of academia, I enjoy playing music (guitar and drums), and although I listen to all kinds of music, I primarily enjoy playing blues, jazz, and rock. I also like to read (I was definitely a bookworm as a child) both fiction and non-fiction. My favorite fiction author is by far Proust, and my interests in non-fiction include math, music, and politics.

I received my Bachelors Degree in 2012 from Thomas Aquinas College, double majoring in philosophy and theology, with a minor in math. I then went on to receive my Master's of Science in Business Analysis in 2013 from Catholic University of America. Since graduation, I have worked for environmental non-profits, helping plant trees across the world, and for consulting firms, helping to mitigate risk in user processes and IT risk analysis. While I tutor in a broad range of subjects, my personal favorites are history, literature, algebra, and philosophy.My approach is focused on two things: perspective and passion. I genuinely believe that learning is one of the greatest gifts society can give us today, and one of the best things we can pursue for ourselves. All knowledge is connected, and rather than approaching a subject as simply that subject by itself, everything we learn opens new doors for our minds, and into subjects we sometimes never knew 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 my spare time, I love expanding my knowledge of different artists in many different genres, always looking for my new favorite. I also enjoy spending time with friends and family, recreational reading, playing board games and video games, and watching NFL games with my dad.

I am a graduate of California State Polytechnic University in Pomona. I love science so much, I earned a Bachelor's of Science in Microbiology and another Bachelor's of Science in Biotechnology. As a graduate student at Cal Poly Pomona, I have taught undergraduate courses to students and, in doing so, have developed strategies and solutions for overcoming the obstacles students face. I have a great deal of experience in biology, chemistry, and physics. I consider myself a solutions finder for difficult problems.In tutoring, I am patient and offer my students an open environment where they can reveal the areas they're struggling in and discuss any misunderstandings of the textbook material. I hope to provide an understanding into the often hard to grasp natural world.I am also a lover of fine arts and can often be found spending my free time at a local art or natural history museum. I am currently a graduate student and am also a scientist at the City of Hope where I hope to earn a PhD while working towards medical advances to fight cancer.

I have been a teacher all my life, it seems. When I was in college, I tutored disadvantaged students in the community. As an Army officer, I was responsible for 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.I have taught in very rich and successful schools; I have taught at schools in poverty where every student received free meals.The thing is, I love to learn. The more I learn, the more I can teach. If your child is having a bear of a time at school, I can help. You see, for the same reason I love to learn, I also love to teach.

A graduate of University of California, Berkeley, with a B.S. in Chemistry and a B.A. in Biology, I have a strong foundation in math and science. Since graduating from college, I have spent my time traveling to France, working a an academic tutor for middle and high school students, volunteering in the Emergency Department of a local hospital, and (most recently) applying to medical school. My favorite part about tutoring is working to engage students to feel as excited and interested as I do towards the material that I teach and hearing my students tell me that they learn more with me in an hour than they do in an entire week of school! When I teach, I strive to let my students know that they are in a safe place where no question is too insignificant to ask while simultaneously encouraging them to be active participants in the sessions so that they can better retain the material we cover and better analyze problems or questions for improved success! Some of my favorite activities outside of work include breaking out some tunes on my violin or guitar, experimenting in the kitchen with cooking various cuisines, staying active outdoors, and playing with my friends' and family's cats.

I have been a math teacher for 10 years; I love math and I love teaching!I totally get it: for most people, the end-goal of studying math isn't to become a mathematician or to fall deeply in love with division and derivatives.For most people, math is just a tool that they need to use (or study) to achieve a goal (becoming a doctor) or to accomplish a task (figuring out how much paint you need to paint that funny shaped room).So, I don't expect my students to love math because of its inherent beauty. They might, who knows? I just want to help them use math to achieve their own goals.

I graduated with honors from the University of California, Riverside with a Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematics - Applied Mathematics/Economics and a minor in Statistics. I love math and want to use what I have learned to help others succeed in math classes. As part of my experience in college, I was a supplemental instruction leader and involved in math reader programs, which developed my teaching skills in different levels of mathematics. Even after I graduated, I still continued to do small group teaching in a private education institute and some one-on-one tutoring. When I see my students are struggling with math, I am always patient and use different approaches to make sure they understand the material before moving on. I can also teach Mandarin Chinese and Cantonese too. If you are also interested in learning Chinese, that's a bonus! I enjoy tutoring, and with my experience, I believe I can be a great help!

I have a BA with Honors in English Literature (University of Lancaster) and a MA in English (SFSU). I specialize in helping students become better essay writers by teaching them simple and useful tricks to make their English or Composition class less intimidating. I also am passionate about Literature (my area of academic study focused on Epistolary Literature of the 18th century) and I am comfortable teaching it through the undergraduate, AP, and high school level.I believe that learning should be fun for every student-- and if it isn't, you're not doing it right! It's my ambition to help a student become excited about what's in front of them (yes! Of Mice and Men IS exciting and so is literary theory, too!) and really begin to understand the broader implications of the text, as well as how to articulate that successfully in academic writing.Professionally, I work in the corporate communications within San Diego's biomedical industry. I have a great job that utilizes my degrees, but tutoring is something I do because I want to continue to share my passion and knowledge with others.I hope to hear from you soon!

I graduated from USC with a B.S. in Neuroscience and a minor degree in Spanish. My degree provided me with a strong foundation in chemistry and biology; my courses emphasized the brain's biological and chemical processes and how these processes relate to human behavior. As a board member of a student organization, I prepared a unique lesson to present to thirty peers on a weekly basis. Two years of experience in this leadership role provided me with strong communication skills, expertise in various instruction strategies, and the ability to excite students about learning. I'm particularly passionate about chemistry, and am excited to share my enthusiasm for science with others. With the life sciences, I emphasize overall understanding in place of rote memorization. With math, I stress practice to best develop critical thinking and problem solving techniques. These are general strategies that can be adapted to meet the unique learning style of each student.While not tutoring, I love to dance! Jazz and ballet are my main passions, but I enjoy all dance styles. I also enjoy spending time outdoors hiking and playing with my dogs. I also appreciate a good science fiction novel when I have time.

As a UC Berkeley graduate and community college Instructional Assistant, I have developed a passion for education and personal tutoring. Years of experience writing creatively, academically, and professionally have provided me with the skills necessary to assist students of all ages with their essays and homework. Whether the student is just getting started with brainstorming and idea development or putting the final touches on a paper and in need of help revising and editing, I am here to assist and encourage in any way possible. I believe in developing a student's skills over a period of time, rather than simply providing the short term answers simply to achieve an immediate grade. Writing is a skill we develop over the course of our lives, always learning and improving, and it is a skill we will always need, whether we're writing high school essays or cover letters for promising careers. I look forward to helping every student develop and refine their written skills on an individual basis, paced for the student's needs. Thank you.
