Dear Parents and Students,

Please choose me as your math or science tutor. If you are struggling in math or science or just want to get a jump on the competition in studying for the ACT, SAT or GRE, I can help. Math and science are meant to be fun. The more you know, the more you can do.

I have a year of experience in tutoring high school math, and I served one semester as a teaching assistant for college Physics II: Electricity and Magnetism. In addition, I have real world experience in solar thermal research, materials science research, electrical design and installation, construction, and plumbing which can help you bridge the gap between your studies and your everyday life.

I look forward to working with you. Money spent on a quality tutor is money well spent.

Sincerely,

Tara B.

Biology

Biology is the study of life. The K-12 curriculum in California requires students to the understand cell biology, genetics, evolution, earth and life history (earth sciences), structure and function in living systems, physical principles in living systems (physical science), ecology, and physiology, with topics and degree of difficulty varying with age level.

Physics

What is physics? Serway and Beichner say it best when they say, "Physics, the most fundamental physical science, is concerned with the basic principles of the Universe. It is the foundation upon which the other sciences--astronomy, biology, chemistry, and geology--are based. The beauty of physics in lies in the simplicity of the fundamental physical theories and in the manner in which just a small number of fundamental concepts, equations, and assumptions can alter and expand our view of the world...

Elementary Math

Elementary math begins with learning how numbers represent quantities (counting beans) in kindergarten and goes through multiplying fractions in fifth grade. In kindergarten, students memorize the days of the week and learn about the idea of time. By fifth grade they must be able to explain their own mathematical reasoning with words, numbers, graphs, etc.

So many important topics are covered in elementary school. Any gaps in math education can create problems in the future since math... Read More

C++

I learned C/C++ as a student at University of Wisconsin-River Falls. The class was called Scientific Programming, and 100% of the learning was done in the computer lab. First, we learned a new command by watching the professor type it on the overhead projector. Then we typed it into our own compilers and ran it. After that we received an assignment, wrote an algorithm, and coded and ran it independently. I would teach it in much the same way.
