I graduated from UC Davis with my bachelors in Neurobiology, Physiology, and Behavior with a minor in Chicano Studies in 2016. I have been tutoring for 9 years. I cover all subjects up to 8th grade. I tutor: Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II, Trigonometry, Common Core - All levels, editing essays, Calc AB/BC (21A), 21B, 21C, Statistics, Biology, Biochemistry, Genetics, Chemistry, Physiology, and Physics. Most of my experience is one on one, but I have worked in classroom settings as well. The first was with first graders and helping the teacher with reading circles. I have also taught large groups of children from first grade to 5th grade of classroom sizes of 8 to 50. As for my one on one experiences, they range from elementary school students to adults re-entering school to pursue higher education! With each student I do my best to appropriately get to know them and make the material easy to understand. Every student is met with patience and understanding. I work on making an environment where they are comfortable, so they can understand and make mistakes! From the mistakes I can see what I need to educate them on, so that they have clarity. I also work with my students and their internal voice of "I CAN'T" to "I CAN" because the reality of life is we will consistently be met with obstacles. We first have to know how to help ourselves in how we feel, then take the steps to learn the information necessary to move forward. From there, we have to give ourselves grace to try it again and again until we succeed. This is in everything - school and outside school. We have to be able to know how to manage these situations as some things in life we will have information before it happens and many situations we don't. Additionally, I do my best in the session as long as there is time, to go over study and organization skills. A consistent goal with every student is that they know how to find information, self learn, and implement. Why? It is a necessary skill in or outside of formal education for someone to succeed.

Very helpful, patient tutor

Barbara help me with math, hypothesis, intervals, all of which were on tests. We worked on my basic understanding of statistics as the teacher I have online does ot give explanations or follow a set format.

Clear, Knowledgeable, and Patient

Barbara has been very helpful and patient with me as I'm re-learning calculus to take a final I missed. So if she can stick through that, then she can get anyone through a calculus class they are currently taking! Thanks again Barbara!

Sophia, 4 lessons with Barbara

Barbara was great!!

Barbara knew pre-calculus and didn’t need to spend time trying to figure out the problems. She went over the lesson with him until he understood it. He has had problems with the word problems but she was able to get him to understand how to tackle them. He was happy about that. She was even able to talk about college calculus and answer questions about that. I would recommend Barbara as a tutor!

Helpful and supportive

Barbara helped my brother to organize his homework and study schedule at the beginning of the semester by going through the syllabus with him. She also helped him find his books at the bookstore and online so that he could learn how to find his textbooks in more than one place. She has helped my brother get organized and be more on top of his school work which is so important as he begins college.

Great tutor

Barbara is a very patient and incredibly bright tutor. Lucky to have found her, I would of never have passed chemistry if it wasn't for her. I got super lost and left behind in class. You got me back up to speed.

Great Beginnings

Barbara did a great job in reviewing math topics with me and helping me with vocabulary. I am looking at the website she recommended at this time. Thanks Barbara!

Very competent tutor

Barbara used diagnostic tools to determine my daughter's baseline math skills and has the necessary tools to fill in math gaps. We are so appreciative!
