Thank you for your patience as I sort my new schedule out!

*************************************************************************

Hi! My name is Lydia, and I graduated from California Lutheran University in May 2011 with my B.S. in Mathematics with University Honors, cum laude. I have four semesters' experience tutoring in a college setting (our Math Lab) from intermediate algebra to calculus II, along with some private tutoring on the side before starting my work through WyzAnt. I am currently attending California State University San Bernardino to earn my teaching credential for secondary mathematics, and am student teaching for two Algebra Readiness classes at Terrace Hills Middle School.

I was told by many of my students in the Math Lab that I should become a teacher before they realized that is exactly what I want to do with my life. I also held the position of Math Lab Coordinator for one year my senior year. I would love to meet you and would value the opportunity to tutor you or your child(ren) - both for my personal experience (I find that the more students I tutor, the more ideas I get for when I am a teacher as opposed to just a tutor) and for you.

I hear from so many students something along the lines of "I was good at math [or I loved math, or I could pass math], but then I had this one terrible teacher, and it was all downhill from there." I want to be a teacher that is the opposite. I want to inspire my students to appreciate the beauty I see in mathematics, and if I can't manage that, then I want them to be competent enough to pass any test they might need to take so that they never have to see it again. (Well, as blatantly as you see it in school - you can't get away from it forever!) I can't wait to hear from you!

Calculus

I tutored one student for the AP Calculus exam over the course of her second semester of her senior year as she was in the class. She passed with a 4. I also tutored this material for two years as an undergraduate earning my B.S. in Mathematics.

Geometry

I taught two sections of geometry in CA as a student teacher. I have a solid understanding of not only the material, but what concepts students struggle with and how to help them "get it."

Bible Studies

I attended Christian private schools for my entire K-12 education. I studied the Bible and religion in general every year in school. I was also raised Christian and am a regular church attendee, and I went to Sunday school practically every Sunday through the end of middle school. I feel I have an excellent working knowledge of the Bible and its teachings, and could tutor those wishing to learn more or deepen their understanding through about a high school level.

Discrete Math

"Discrete" means individually separate and distinct - pretty much things you can count. You won't see the continuous functions you see in calculus, where there are infinitely many points between any two points on a given curve. This branch of mathematics includes logic, set theory, combinatorics, number theory, probability, graph theory, game theory, and much, much more. A course on discrete math is often required for computer science majors. I earned an A in this course when I took it as an undergraduate... Read More

Logic

Logic is the fundamental language of mathematics. I have a B.S. in Mathematics - I spent four years studying this language. I believe I am highly equipped to tutor this subject because of that.

As far as my specific preparation to tutor a logic course, I received an A in both my discrete math course and my first computer programming course. These two classes specifically require a deep understanding of logic for success.
