I have always tutored my siblings and my friends, but in 2012 I began tutoring professionally. My teaching style includes using lots of visual aids to make the concept easier to grasp and ensures that all my students understand the concept instead of memorizing the subject. My expertise lies in teac...

Chi-Sun

AAI - Accredited Adviser in Insurance Tutor • +85 Subjects

My main goal when teaching math is for the students to truly understand the concepts and reasoning behind math, and not just learn how to apply formulas and do well on tests. Although they may get good grades, this will be useless later in life. In my teaching experience, when students actually learn the concepts and logic, not only does their math vastly improve, but they also learn to enjoy math, which is the ultimate goal. My qualifications include excelling at all high school math competitions including finishing second at the 1989 Colorado Math Olympiad. I also graduated from MIT at 19 years old.

I like to focus on exam skills. I also like to build special study methods to help students improve study efficiency.

Lizzy

Algebra Tutor • +17 Subjects

I am a motivated professional and passionate educator with over three years experience tutoring at the high school and college levels.I tutor primarily in upper-level maths, including Algebra, Geometry, Statistics, and Calculus. In addition, I tutor high school and college Spanish to non-native speakers from beginning to advanced. I also work with college students on research and essay writing in humanities subject areas (e.g. Political Science, History, Anthropology, etc). As an alumni counselor, I've also mentored students through the entire UC college application process, from personal statements to resume-building.My tutoring style combines positive reinforcement with honest assessment. By opening an intellectual dialogue between myself and my students, I seek to create a learning environment where trial, error, and success can occur readily, all with the intention of building confidence through familiarity with the material. I am constantly re-evaluating my methods to allow students to perform at personal-best levels. And while quantifiable test results are ultimately key, I take care to shape and reinforce positive study habits to equip my students with tools for long-term success and academic preparedness.In addition to my experience as a tutor and academic mentor, I have had the privilege of working with students in a number of capacities. As an elected student representative at UCLA, I treated every staff meeting as an opportunity for personal and collective growth as we identified and tackled campus issues that ranged from student loan debt to de-stigmatizing mental illness. In my most recent role as a community organizer, I developed a 3-month program to train low-wage working mothers on topics ranging from workplace rights and political lobbying to event planning and meeting facilitation. These roles required a high degree of accountability and loyalty and deeply shaped my approach to building collaborative work environments conducive to life-long learning and critical analysis.I am an avid reader, runner, and cat lover. I love to try new foods, meet new people, and explore different cultures. Learning languages and keeping up with current events are probably my biggest pastimes. I am also huge on community service and student leadership!!

Emily

College English Tutor • +7 Subjects

I am a high honors, Phi Beta Kappa graduate of University of California, Santa Barbara. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Comparative Literature with a minor in French. During my time there, I studied abroad for a semester in Paris at the Sorbonne and the Paris Center for Critical Studies. I received the Certificate of Undergraduate Excellence in French and the Distinction in the Major award for my honors undergraduate research thesis in Comparative Literature, which was on the dynamics and representations of female transgression in the "stepwomen" of folk and fairy tales. I worked as a Writing tutor at U.C.S.B., first tutoring English to ESL foreign exchange students at the university, and then went on to work on basic study skills, writing, and essay planning and writing with undergraduates from all majors and disciplines, while also advising a few PhD candidates on their thesis writing. Since graduation, I have held multiple writing and editing positions, including my positions as Deputy Fiction Editor at the Los Angeles Review of Books and Associate Editor at Phoneme Media, a Los Angeles-based world literature and translation publisher.I am a skilled academic writer and lover of literature, and I am most passionate about tutoring English, Literature, English study skills, and Essay Writing (for both academic papers and college entrance personal statements). Not only do I believe that every student has the ability to write an essay, I believe every student has the ability to write a great one. I work to open up the blocks between students and language, changing their relationship to English and writing for the better and for the long-term...so that perhaps a tutor won't be so necessary in the future!In my spare time, I am a vegetarian and vegan cook, a runner, a soccer player, a creative writer, and an addictive reader. I love music of all kinds, was trained in jazz vocals, and love to see the worlds of music, art, language, and academics intersect. Confidence in language and writing has the ability to open all kinds of doors to students both academically and professionally, and I hope to help unlock them.

In my spare time, I absolutely love watching movies, exercising, and writing creatively. I look forward to meeting you!

Daniel

Algebra Tutor • +22 Subjects

I graduated from the University of California Santa Barbara with a Bachelor of Science degree in Zoology. I am applying to medical school this year. I have tutored fellow classmates throughout college in a variety of subjects; I have tutored biology, physics, math, history, chemistry, and ecology. My teaching method is to make complex ideas more relative to simple concepts and everyday life. I believe that making connections to concepts while learning is the easiest way to grasp a subject. I enjoy all sports with an emphasis in basketball, baseball, football, soccer, and tennis. I played all of these sports in high school and at the intramural level in college. I also love reading, music, and movies.

I received my education from UC Berkeley, and graduated May 2015. I have attained my degree in integrative biology emphasizing on human biology and health sciences. I tutored multiple students ranging from elementary school kids to college students on various subjects mainly focused on math and sciences. My favorite subject is chemistry and biochemistry, because it is fascinating how myriads of reactions are constantly happening within our body. I am currently applying for pharmacy school, so chemistry is vital in this field. I love to play tennis, swim, and especially eat out around the bay area!
