I love teaching and I am passionate about education. But, this was not always the case. I can certainly understand anyone who is struggling in any subject. I am a lifelong learner myself.

I graduated on the honors list from UC Berkeley with a bachelors degree in English in 2000. After working as a tutor for the past several years, I realized that I want to become a public school teacher. I was recently accepted to graduate school at CSU Long Beach in both the multiple subject and single subject credential programs. While I am completing my coursework, I have decided to continue tutoring.

If you or someone you love is having difficulty with any of the subjects listed, I would be delighted to help. For the past three years, I have primarily worked with students K-12 in English Language Arts, Reading, and Math with great success. Although I believe there are many subjects I could teach, I have only listed those that I have experience teaching and/or received solid 'A's in at the university level.

The majority of students I tutor do amazingly well.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Algebra 1

Algebra 1 is the study of elementary algebra. It is the next step, after pre-algebra, in the development of higher level mathematics skills. Algebra 1 emphasizes equation problem solving and graphing. The student's knowledge and confidence of equation work will expand as they learn topics such as: rational expressions, factoring, polynomials, radical expressions, and quadratics. The pace of the material covered will depend on the students' comfort level and understanding.

Algebra 2

Algebra 2 builds on concepts introduced in Algebra 1 and Geometry. It develops advanced algebra skills such as systems of equations, advanced polynomials, imaginary and complex numbers, quadratics, and includes the study of trigonometric functions. It also introduces matrices and their properties. Knowledge of Algebra 2 is important for success on both the ACT and college mathematics entrance exams.

American History

American history is one of the few subjects that American students are expected to study throughout most their educational careers. I have studied it more or less continuously, starting in elementary school and on through the completion of my general education requirements as an undergraduate. Last year I passed the multiple subject CSET exam which tests knowledge of American history from the early European explorations to the impact of 9/11.

Students of American history acquire basic... Read More

Prealgebra

In the typical sequence of mathematics courses, Prealgebra occurs after several years of basic math and precedes Algebra 1. The objective of Prealgebra is to explore mathematical concepts that are foundational for success in Algebra 1 including algebraic expressions, integers, equations, decimals, fractions, ratios, proportions, percents, area, volume, and probability.

When tutoring any mathematics subject my aim is to encourage and enable students to: appreciate the usefulness, power... Read More

Writing

My objective as a writing tutor is to enable students to communicate effectively and confidently in their classes and later in their professional and personal lives. For this reason, I emphasize analytical writing which forms the basis of academic and professional communication, as well as personal and reflective writing which fosters the ability to write about any subject in any context.

English

As mentioned in my profile, I graduated from UC Berkeley with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English in 2000.

English as a subject is usually comprised of three parts: language, literature, and composition. Most English courses are designed to help students become skilled readers of prose written in a variety of contexts and to become skilled writers who compose for a variety of purposes. Both their writing and their reading should make students aware of the interactions among a writer's... Read More

GED

The GED consists of a series of tests designed to measure the knowledge and skills expected of a high school graduate. Most U.S. colleges and universities accept a GED credential in lieu of a high school diploma. Nearly all employers accept a GED credential as well. For example, I took the GED when I was 17 years old. Taking this test allowed me to leave high school and work full-time while I formulated my professional and educational goals. I went from taking the GED, to attending Santa Monica... Read More

Elementary Math

Elementary mathematics is essential for all children and provides them with the opportunity to choose among the full range of future career paths. In elementary math children learn the basic concepts of arithmetic, problem solving, number theory, geometry, and the underlying principles of algebra. My goal as a math tutor is for students to:

• Develop fluency in basic computational skills.
• Develop an understanding of mathematical concepts.
• Learn to recognize and solve... Read More

Elementary (K-6th)

For the past three years, I have provided one-on-one tutoring to elementary school students who qualify for supplemental services under the No Child Left Behind law. I also regularly work on a volunteer basis as a pre-service teacher in a second grade classroom at Adams Elementary in Torrance.

I am currently enrolled in the multiple subject credential program at California State University, Long Beach. This credential will license me to teach students in elementary and middle school... Read More

Study Skills

Study skills are an important part of achieving academic excellence. Effective study skills are generally associated with critical success in school, acquiring good grades, and are useful for learning throughout one's life. For students that are having difficulty in a subject, learning how to apply effective study skills can often make a crucial difference in their grade.

There is a vast array of study skills and a wide variety of schools of thought on the subject as well. I teach evidence-based... Read More

Art History

The goal of art history is the discerning appreciation and enjoyment of art. Originally I studied art history in college through a course that began with the Renaissance and covered the Baroque, the Rococo, Romanticism, Realism, Impressionism, Expressionism, Futurism, Cubism, and Surrealism as well as other periods. Later, through my studies of literature I became further acquainted with these artistic movements, as well as earlier periods (Classical, Byzantine, Gothic) and more recent developments... Read More

CBEST

On 6/12/10 I passed the CBEST with a cumulative status of "Highest Results."

I graduated with a degree in English from Berkeley with a 3.74 GPA. I was trained for four years to perform critical analysis and evaluation, as well as develop comprehension and research skills. This is what the Reading Section of the CBEST entails.

I also have strong writing skills and could teach others to write essays that would exceed the minimum standards for the CBEST. There are two types... Read More
