Award-Winning Test Prep Tutors serving Glendale, CA

...confidence in themselves through patience and support is the best way not only to improve academic performance, but also transform them into lifelong learners. I try to share not only my passion for knowledge with students, but also my love of sports (football, baseball, and softball), action films, and global affairs. Seeing students not only improve academically but also show improved confidence and happiness is the most rewarding part of my job.

...to make complicated topics understandable. My favorite area is standardized testing. I love the look on a student's face when they realize that they don't have to be nervous about an exam - that it can actually be really fun if the questions are viewed as the simple patterns they really are. In my free time, I love watching movies, reading, swimming, and exploring the city. I also play in a weekly ice hockey league...

...Writing, and Research. Few things are as rewarding to me as helping others to achieve their goals in and out of academia. I find that passing on healthy work and study skills provides the highest long-term success rate for my students, so they can continue being confident learners even when I am not aiding them. Anyone studying hard deserves to play hard, and in my spare time I love to hike, travel, read, and craft.

...Life & Physical Sciences. I have a broad range of subjects that I am comfortable tutoring in, ranging from English and essay editing to Algebra and middle school math. But I am most passionate (and get most geeked out about) teaching science, especially topics in Biology and Life Science, because I love learning about how our living world works! My teaching philosophy revolves around students harnessing their strengths to become independent learners, and my job...

...was a hands-on affair, in which I led students through the preparation of animal specimens for preservation in a museum. Through my experiences, I have discovered that the best way to learn and teach a subject is to tackle it with a variety of approaches. For example, students intimidated by the technical jargon of math often find problems easier to understand when symbols are replaced with words. Through such strategies, I aim to make dense...

...Education from UCLA. I received my teacher's credentials from UCLA's Teacher Education Program and completed my research inquiry in teaching mathematics. My best subject is math. I find math and science to be my favorite subjects and they have been since I was in elementary school. I found they came most naturally when I was a student. Some qualities that best describe me are: patient, open-minded, respectful, trustworthy, and honest. I work well with students,...

...it turned out, that didn't happen. I got side-tracked and, enjoying math so much, I stuck around UVA for another two years and earned a MS in Math. I then got drafted by the NSA and did cyptopgraphy for a few years. Now I'm back on (the education) track. I've been teaching math and statistics at ITT-Tech for a few years and, so far, I've taught two sections of college algebra at El Camino Community...

...connect with them as a near-peer. My goal is to help each and every student I work with find the academic subject that sparks their passion for learning. Being a visual learner myself, I have always had to create tools, draw pictures, or make games for myself in order to learn, and I bring that to my tutoring style. I truly believe that any student has the capacity to learn and excel in academics--it's up...

...prep center. Although I customarily tutor school subjects, SAT, and SAT subject tests, my strongest skills are in Math and Science. My experiences with students have taught me that a students education depends on a teachers ability to convey the subject clearly. As a result, my goal is to cater to a students needs, whether it is through visual, audio, or repetitious learning. I have been fortunate enough continue my passion of tutoring and aiding...

...tutoring all levels and ages of Spanish, ESL/ELL, Microeconomics, Business Studies and Public Speaking as well as Psychology - I am getting ready to start my Masters in Psychological Studies and have been a psychology buff for more than 2 decades. Writing is another subject that I tutor, specializing in essay writing and creative writing. Assisting students in getting their ideas across while following specific instructions - or just no instructions at all except for...

...most important skill any tutor and cultivate in a student is critical thinking. When a student finally comes to understand material, it is important that he or she is able to execute those concepts in different contexts and in different scenarios. When a student asks questions, I often times like to respond with questions myself that help them guide them to the correct deductions and conclusions themselves. This will also help ensure their ability to...

...manner of developing sciences and technologies as well as current events and the history behind them. When it comes to tutoring, I try to understand how a student is thinking about a problem before deciding on a specific course of action. My job isn't to be a second lecturer, and the reason that I'm there is often that simple lecture isn't sufficient, so going for an approach that is personalized for the student is essential.

...of all ages and backgrounds from elementary education to adults improving business writing or learning Spanish from scratch. I have a passion for language and enjoy sharing that passion with others. My favorite subject to tutor is Spanish because I know that learning a new language can be daunting, and I like helping students overcome that feeling. I hold my students to high standards and ensure that I work to give them the support and...

...sitting down with a student of mine, pinpointing their problems, and then addressing them in an efficient but exciting manner. I also enjoy deconstructing tests with students; figuring out what the test is asking for and how to give the testing service what it wants. Students do best on these standardized forms of assessment when they know specifically what is being asked of them, and I am more than happy to help them figure it...

I have been tutoring students in science and math for over 6 years and enjoy every moment of it! I am fully aware that no two students are the same and that various teaching modalities should be employed to ensure a strong foundation for every student, regardless of their baseline level of understanding of the subject matter. ... I am fully aware that no two students are the same, and that various teaching modalities should be...

...extremely patient and will make sure the student I'm working with truly understands what we're working on. The great thing about tutoring one on one is being able to go at each student's pace and work with their unique learning styles. I'm personally very visual and need to draw a picture to figure out a problem. I enjoy learning about the student's interests and incorporating them into the lesson to make it more fun and...

...has only refined my understanding of what students need and have the most trouble with. Although I enjoy and have experience teaching a vast array of subjects (especially during my time at a graduation lab at Irving High School), I am especially drawn to the sciences, math and English. The love for the former two stems from years of education and interest in the sciences, and the latter harks even further back to my addiction...

...the student's own material. As a tutor, it's not always necessary to supplement the student's schoolwork with additional material, but if appropriate I feel very comfortable creating targeted lesson plans. As for high school students I've mainly tutored Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Geometry, Trigonometry, SAT math prep, Chemistry, and Statistics. I have much experience tutoring high schoolers; in fact the majority of my previous students have been at the high school level. Not being too...

...tutored both high school and college level students. I tutored mainly biology and chemistry (CP, honors, AP and SAT II), as well as college level chemistry and biology. Being a student myself, I believe that each student has the potential to excel academically as long as he/she works hard. My teaching philosophy is that a student must fully understand the material, not just learn how to apply it, such that he/she would be successful in...

...pick between the humanities and the sciences, I studied both Anthropology and Sustainable Development at Columbia University. I have experience tutoring most subjects, but my strengths are test prep, studying and time management skills, and reading, writing, and critical thinking skills at any level. I love helping students find the way that works best for them to approach problem solving and learning. I am very interested in education and have experience working with both children...
