In 2015, I graduated with my BS in Biochemistry from the University of California, Riverside. After college, I have been working as a researcher at the UCLA Center for Inflammatory Bowel Disease where I can integrate my passion for both the bench and the bedside. Aside from my academic endeavors, I find myself passing time on the weekdays by cooking, gardening or gaming. On the weekends, you can find me surfing or snowboarding. My love for tutoring began when I was a junior in high school, and I have been actively involved in peer tutoring ever since. From algebra to biology and speech, I tutored my peers to success. In college, I once again found myself attracted to tutoring by helping students master the concepts behind biology, organic chemistry, and biochemistry. For four summers, I have worked as a camp counselor at the Painted Turtle supervising children, teens, and young adults. These summers at camp have refined my abilities to be an effective leader, listener, and communicator. I easily build strong, personal relationships which allow my students, and campers alike, to feel comfortable with learning. I engage my students and peers with infectious enthusiasm and love for learning; no matter how abstract or foreign the subject is, I can use my interdisciplinary knowledge to excite and enthrall students of all ages and abilities. I find that my most attractive quality is how I can easily incorporate personal connections to the student's interests. I feel that I can truly personalize the learning experience to make the content feel both real and relevant. I constantly adapt my methods to match the needs of the student, and their feedback about my lessons, methods, and approaches is paramount to me. I believe it is important to not only build upon what they have learned in class, but to establish a firm foundation of study and homework habits that they will carry with them beyond our sessions and into their classes.

I have a Bachelor's of Science in Electrical Engineering from the University of California, Riverside, and am currently working on my Master's in engineering from George Mason University. I work full-time as a software engineer, and have been tutoring in my spare time for about 4 years. Most of the students I work with are in high school or college, with math subjects being the most common topics I teach. I have experience teaching Algebra, Trigonometry, Geometry, and Calculus, along with computer science and physics. As result, STEM classes are my strong suit, and my engineering background and career support my teaching. Usually when I tutor, I incorporate collaboration into problem solving, and have students involved in working through problems. For instance, if I was teaching a physics problem, I would have the student set up the problem on their own before stepping in to teach. This helps students understand topics on a conceptual level, instead of just being given the answer.
I love Math and I always have. I've used it to write programs to control radar systems and to launch communication satellites. I've used it to teach Math students in Middle School, High School and College. I'm newly retired now and I still love Math. I can help you understand (and maybe love) Math too.
I hold a BA in History from the University of California Riverside (graduating in 2 years) and a Masters in Public Health from the University of Southern California specializing in health education. I just completed 2 years of a 6-year BS/MD program with Cleveland State University and Northeast Ohio Medical School with a 3.95 GPA. I am a dedicated student who enjoy teaching fellow classmates along with volunteering in the community.Prior to moving to Ohio, I participated in the highly-selective program known as Teach for America. Teach for America sends the brightest young college students to some of the lowest performing schools in the country with a minimum commitment of two years. I stayed a total of four years at my placement school. During that time I made tremendous gains with my students, focusing on AP exams, the ACT exam, and college entry programs. I had the highest pass rate in both the AP Calculus and AP Statistics exams in the school's history along with an average of a 4 point increase among the students that took his after school ACT Prep program.I firmly believes that if given the opportunity and the right environment students can learn anything.I look forward to working with families and students to strive for the best in themselves and in doing so, hopes to help them realize their dreams and ultimately their full potentials.
Second year medical student looking to continue tutoring services that I used to provide before I started school. Always working to tailor a plan that works best for individual students. Been tutoring for 5-6 years, looking to continue the trend.
I received my Bachelor of Arts degree in English from the University of California, Riverside and a dual Master of Arts in English and Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing from Chapman University in Orange, California. In between studies, I began my experience as a tutor for the "No Child Left Behind" program tutoring students K-8 in Reading and Language Arts in order to help them improve study habits and standardized test scores in a one-on-one setting.Upon entering graduate school at Chapman University, I began working as an English tutor for the writing center on campus. I worked one-on-one with undergraduates and graduate students of various majors in order to ensure their writing assignments (short and long papers, theses, resumes, and personal statements) were following the given prompts.I tutor any category related to the field of EnglishReading, Writing (both academic and creative), Literature, and Language Arts. My favorite subject to tutor is writing because my belief, from personal experience, is that fostering a strong and confident authorial voice is of the utmost importance for a student and it becomes applicable to all career choices one might make. In my spare time, my hobbies tend to include things that continue to foster my own authorial voice and those around me writing music and poetry, publishing a literary zine, reading leisurely, and watching films.
I am a graduate of University of California Riverside with a Bachelor of Science in biology. I am currently working in a Microbiology laboratory and I am also looking to attend graduate school in the future.All throughout my academic career, I have been very interested in math and sciences. My interest eventually led me to pursue a degree in biology. Biology, along with subjects such as math and physics are the areas of study which I am fluent in. I have often led study groups during my time as a student and these experiences showed me that I can be very helpful in explaining difficult problems which the group faces. My ability to put difficult problems into comprehensible, simple terms is my greatest asset as a tutor.I would work best with high school and college students looking for help in the above mentioned subject matters or standardized testing.
As your tutor, I aim to create thoughtful, innovative and exciting lessons, which support my students as individuals. I am very motivated, hardworking and dependable, and I get a real sense of purpose from helping my students to achieve the best possible grades.
My approach to tutoring is very-much centered around personalization: I'm interested to know what your hobbies are, what kind of music you listen to, and what kinds of television shows and movies you enjoy. I strongly believe that engagement with any topic, even if a student is not keen on it to begin with, can be made interesting by relating it to their interests outside of academia. For example, the relationship between popular culture today and 19th century literature might not be immediately apparent, but so many things--from serialized television to pop music to superheroes and superhero movies--continue to feel the influences of earlier periods and forms (like the novel, poetry, nonfiction, and even literary celebrity of the 19th C). Additionally, I am familiar with numerous approaches to teaching composition and would be able to customize tutoring sessions to fit a wide range of student ability.I hold a PhD in English with a Graduate Certificate in Gender Studies from the University of Southern California. My dissertation was on the topic of slackers in popular film, television, and literature from the 1980s to the present, and traces the contemporary slacker's origins to 19th century literature and literary figures (such as Herman Melville's "Bartleby" and Oscar Wilde). While I was at USC I taught "Writing and Critical Reasoning," an introductory college composition course, for their Writing Program for seven and a half years. The course's themes ranged from "Black Social Movements in the U.S.," "Race, Gender, Sexuality and Popular Culture," and "Exploring Ethnicity Through Film" to "Environmental Ethics," "Contemporary Moral Issues," and "Education and Intellectual Development." I have extensive experience working with non-humanities majors (Business, Communications, Engineering, etc.) as well as non-native English speakers.I also have experience teaching English (grades 9-12) at Immaculate Heart High School, an all girls' Catholic private school, in Los Angeles, CA. During my time there I taught English I (9th Grade), American Literature (10th Grade), and Monster's in Literature (12th Grade).
I am a recent graduate from the University of California, Riverside where I received my Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience and graduated in the top 4% of my class.My senior year at UCR I worked as a tutor in the subjects of Biology, Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Statistics, and Neuroscience.My passion for tutoring lies in my desire to reveal students' potential and build their confidence in the field of STEM. I am here to show students that they are capable and give them opportunities to utilize unique methods and techniques to approaching problems/concepts that may endure beyond one's schooling years.My tutoring approach consists of utilizing a bottom up approach to engage students by building complex concepts beginning from a fundamental level. I like to use a variety of techniques to accommodate to the needs of the students as many can be placed into the categories of: Auditory, Visual, Kinesthetic, and/or Read/Write learners.
I am currently a MPH student at the lovely GWU, and I graduated from the sunny University of California-Riverside after obtaining my bachelor's degree in Biology. I have taken a wide range of courses and am here to pass down my knowledge! I tutor a variety of Life Sciences (such as Biology, Genetics, Biochemistry, Evolution, Ecology, and Organic Chemistry), and in the past have worked as a tutor for both high school and college students.I know what it is to be a student, and can therefore understand the frustrations that sometimes arise when learning these subjects. These subjects can be quite difficult, and sometimes you need that one-on-one help to fully grasp the concepts. My approach is not only to reiterate the material you have learned in class but also to make sure you can apply this material in different ways relating to your course. By first targeting weaknesses, you'll be able to come out of sessions feeling like a pro, and ready to ace your exams! I use various teaching methods, all of which can be adjusted to the student's needs. I have a very strong work and study ethic, and truly believe learning is a key to life. I want the passion I have for science to transfer over to the student--or to at the least make science more bearable! I look forward to our time together!When I'm not immersed in the sciences, I enjoy exploring the outdoors or doing some yoga!
Buenos Dias a Todos!I am here to tailor my teaching to your Spanish needs! I have experience in teaching all ages and all ability levels, from kindergarteners all the way through college students, as well as native Speakers who may need to touch up on spelling or grammar. I was born into a Mexican family, so the dialect that I am familiar with is Mexican Spanish, but I also studied abroad in Spain for a year while working on my bachelor's degree and am therefore also familiar with the proper Castillian Spanish from Spain. I got my bachelor's degree in Foreign Languages, Literatures, and Linguistics from the University of California, Riverside and my master's degree in International Relations from Webster University in Washington D.C. Whether you need to prepare for a test, brush up on your conversational skills, read Spanish literature, or distinguish between the different accents, I am here to help you with your Spanish language learning needs!
