Experienced Math Tutor with 5+ Years of Helping Students Excel

Kyle A.

I am an experienced Math and Science tutor with over five years of dedicated tutoring experience, helping students from diverse backgrounds excel in their studies. My educational background includes an AS in Biology and an AA in Liberal Arts from College of the Desert, a BS in Cellular, Molecular, and Developmental Biology from the University of California, Riverside, and I am currently pursuing a PhD in Environmental Toxicology at the same institution. Additionally, I hold a Level 1 CRLA Tutor Certificate, which underscores my commitment to effective teaching and student success.

My tutoring journey began in 2015 at College of the Desert TASC, TRiO, TRiO DSPS, and My Learning Studio. During this time, I developed a robust understanding of how to convey complex concepts in math, chemistry, biology, and physics to students of varying ages and educational levels. I have worked one-on-one and in classroom settings, tailoring my approach to meet individual learning needs. This includes working with students with mental disabilities, where patience and adaptive teaching strategies are crucial.

In my tutoring sessions, I employ a student-centered approach that focuses on fostering a deep understanding of the subject matter. I believe in creating an interactive learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and expressing difficulties. My experience as an undergraduate research assistant and later as a research technician in Dr. Dillman’s lab has honed my ability to break down intricate scientific concepts into manageable lessons, making them accessible and engaging. This blend of academic and practical experience ensures that my students not only master their coursework but also develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills that are essential for their academic and professional futures.
