I am a very amicable person, and truly think that I could have a successful tutoring relationship with virtually anyone. I am happy to speak with you more prior to a lesson should you have any questions regarding my qualifications and/or character. Thank you for your time and...

...who were struggling in their classes. Initially, I found this difficult; it was a challenge determining exactly where a student's understanding of a topic was faulty. Over time, however, I developed a keener sense for the hurdles that students sometimes face when learning, as well as the most efficient ways to overcome them. I also developed more patience and empathy through tutoring - I often remembered feeling the same confusion about a topic that my...

...for many students. My method of breaking down problems into their bare elements and working from there helps prevent students from shutting down because they have no idea what to do when they see a new problem. While I am here to help students do better in their classes I am also here as a mentor for schooling in general. I am always willing to help out with students who need more help outside of...

...Arizona. I graduated from the University of Arizona with a bachelor's degree in Astrophysics and a Master's degree in Teaching and Teacher Education. Before getting the master's degree in education I worked for NASA as an entry-level scientist/analyst, which essentially means I did A LOT of computer programming. I worked on the following projects: Galileo, Cassini, IRAF, UBV White-Dwarf Sky Survey, and NICMOS on the HST. However, while working on those projects I quickly discovered...

Being an engineer means that I'm a problem-solver, and that I need to be able to adapt to a variety of situations.

The most important thing I do is make sure each student understands what they're trying to learn,...

...It is also my hope that I can help students reduce the stress they may feel when preparing to take these tests. I believe that if you continue to learn throughout your life, you will always be growing. In my spare time I enjoy cooking, and just about anything to do with water - swimming, sailing and scuba diving. I am an avid scuba diver (PADI Certified Scuba Diving Instructor #68581). I have been diving in...

...20 years and love it! Teaching students to see math in everyday life and take away the fear that is associated with the subject is something I am very passionate about! I have obtained a BS degree in Mathematics from Biola University and a BS degree in Civil Engineering from UC Irvine and have tutored elementary math and Algebra, all the way up to Calculus 2, Statistics and Physics. I am very experienced at learning...

I am a former teacher and have a passion for Math and Science. I hope that I can help others in these areas so that they can see the joys in them that I do and be successful in their studies.

...can. I truly feel that anyone can assimilate nearly any subject as long as they put effort into it and I really try to ensure that they do. I spend a fair amount of time working in a Organic Chemistry Laboratory where I am the current Lab Manager in overseeing all current laboratory projects. Aside from school and work, I love to spend time reading, rooting for the Phoenix Suns, and watching movies. I love...

...goal in every course I teach is to make the complicated simple and easy to understand. I have taught a variety of subjects and age groups. I currently teach psychology and statistics at Glendale Community College and plan to teach other courses there in the future. I am very excited on the first day of every semester to meet my new students! It is my goal to make all the material relevant and interesting. I...
