Experiences Middle School and High School Math Tutor

Christian H.

I am a fourth year student at UC Santa Barbara with an associates degree from Chaffey college. I have been tutoring for about six years, (since I was a sophmore in high school). During that time I was a personal tutor and would go to clients houses to conduct tutoring sessions. I was also an AVID tutor at Los Osos High school working with AVID students of all ages.
The students I have worked with have been as young as fifth graders to as old as seniors in high school. I have worked with many students who struggle with ADHD or other learning disabilities. Struggling with ADHD myself, it has been easy for me to keep these kids on track and work with them. My past students have commented on enjoying how I try to show them other ways to solve problems, ways that might be easier that they were not taught. My main goal is to help them actually understand what they are doing, not just memorizing how to do it, but understanding why.
