Bio

I have taught high school math, tutored elementary to high school math and elementary to middle school reading, ESL, vocabulary from classical roots, and basic writing. I aim to know my students, set practical goals, engage the students during instruction, have students practice in problem solving in math, and gauge student learning with informal assessments. Most students can achieve the goal they set if they truly put their minds to it. I will try to help you or your student arrive at...

I have taught high school math, tutored elementary to high school math and elementary to middle school reading, ESL, vocabulary from classical roots, and basic writing. I aim to know my students, set practical goals, engage the students during instruction, have students practice in problem solving in math, and gauge student learning with informal assessments. Most students can achieve the goal they set if they truly put their minds to it. I will try to help you or your student arrive at those goals if you/they will work with me regularly and be focused on the goals set for yourself/themselves.

I worked as a database application support specialist for years and before that a computer applications programmer. My enthusiasm for math came from my teachers in secondary schools and college despite the fact that I studied computer science as my major in college. I achieved my goals for college, a career in a popular field, and later of becoming a credentialed teacher/tutor in math and more recently in Reading and ESL with students fluent in Chinese (Mandarin). My ESL students often are impressed by me as a native speaker, fluent in both English and Mandarin. I am committed to helping you/your student achieve academic goals by improving their learning.

Approved Subjects

Algebra 1

Algebra 1

I have taught and tutored high school students as well as middle school students in algebra 1. For students to learn to solve real life problems using linear equations and graphs is interesting and challenging. Comprehension of the concepts are essential to success in subsequent subjects, namely, geometry, algebra 2, and advanced higher level math.
Algebra 2

Algebra 2

I assisted and guest taught Algebra 2 for the entire year at a south bay high school. Besides topics such as Matrices and Logarithm, graphing of polynomials and functions, solving for real and complex zeroes call for a tremendous amount of analysis. I can help the student master these skills with careful examination of the clues and signs.
Chinese

Chinese

Mandarin is my first language. I have been bilingual since college and am fluent in both English and Mandarin in speaking, reading and writing. I have taught adult ESL classes in a couple of Chinese churches and children's Bible classes to children of all ages with some of them speaking only Mandarin. Setting some practical language learning goals and achieving them while having fun can be exciting for both children and adults.
Common Core

Common Core

I have tutored students using common core math curriculum for 5+ years in the San Francisco Bay Area including Cupertino students using CMS curriculum; attended CMS training sessions for middle school math.
Elementary Math

Elementary Math

I have taught/tutored many students at the elementary level, both boys and girls. Students enjoy seeing pictures and drawing pictures while solving word problems and using math manipulative, charts, wrap-ups to build basic math skills.
ESL/ESOL

ESL/ESOL

As an ESL student in high school, I struggled with reading and writing. In college, however, the course in English composition helped me improve my writing skills by leaps and bounds. My teacher encouraged me to write. With her tirelessly grading my work and my correcting and rewriting, I developed new writing skills to handle the writing in college and throughout my career. I have recently completed 4 years of tutoring in reading and one summer on writing with a now 8th grader with good results. In the past, volunteer ESL teaching with adults was also my passion.
Geometry

Geometry

I have taught Geometry to students with different learning styles and needs. I would like to identify the student's learning style and use different learning strategies to generate a dialogue. Re-working the school lesson and finding the point of confusion allow the student to understand the concepts correctly and solve problems with simple guidance.
Prealgebra

Prealgebra

Learning Prealgebra is like the learning of the roles, functions, and rules of the game pieces of the game of Algebra. I would teach Prealgebra to make it fun and rewarding. The skills learned well in Prealgebra makes playing the Algebra game easier and a lot more interesting.
Reading

Reading

I have current experience working with elementary and middle school students in reading various types of material: fables, short stories, topical writings...etc. Teaching vocabulary at elementary and middle school levels is my new love. I can recommend reading material or use school recommended material.
Trigonometry

Trigonometry

Trig functions, laws, and identities can be tedious and hard to memorize. Memorization is not necessary if we learn the principles behind them. I want to help my students learn Trig with ease and without memorization.

Patient and Encouraging Tutor Who Goes Above and Beyond

We set up a weekly tutoring schedule with Huey-Ming to help my daughter with pre-algebra, especially since she has always struggled with understanding math concepts and word problems. Huey-Ming has been incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and encouraging throughout the entire process. She takes the time to explain concepts in a way that is simple and easy for my daughter to understand, and she never makes her feel rushed or discouraged. Huey-Ming also went above and beyond by providing extra math practice problems and breaking down difficult concepts step-by-step to build my daughter’s confidence. One thing we especially appreciated was how flexible she was in working around my daughter’s busy school and extracurricular schedule. Thanks to Huey-Ming's support and teaching style, my daughter feels much more confident in pre-algebra. We are so grateful for her dedication and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and effective math tutor.

Knowledgeable and amazing tutor!

My kid loves Huey- Ming. She is in a 7th grade accelerated math class and Huey-Ming makes sure she understands the topic and answers any questions she has. My kid always comes back home with good grades after having reviewed everything with her. Would 10/10 recommend taking tutoring classes!

Very Good and Knowledgeable Math Teacher

Huey-Ming is an outstanding math tutor, she had been tutoring my daughter of last 3 years (in her middle school). My daughter really enjoyed taking math lessons and looks forward to working with her. Huey-Ming is very diligent, detail oriented, and thorough in her classes. She always open for calls and give us suggestions on the progress and recommends ways to improve our daughter’s performance, she goes over and beyond, she is very patient and always keeps insisting on clear steps and fundamentals in her math teaching. We are very fortunate to have Huey-Ming as math tutor for our daughter and would recommend Huey-Ming to anyone who needs help with their math.

Great Teacher!!!

My daughter really enjoyed the lesson. They reviewed the rules for converting from mixed numbers to improper fractions and she made it very easy for my daughter to catch on quickly. My daughter is now more confident when it comes to fractions and looking forward to more lessons in the future.

Great tutor

Huey-Ming was very knowledgeable and patient tutor. She thought my daughter Geometry Honors. She made sure she had her materials before the meeting so that she could be prepared and the most efficient. We only had one lesson with her but my daughter said she was very good and she showed her short cuts, She scored %100 on her test next day.

Dedicated and extremely effective Algebra II Honors Tutor for High School Freshman at Top Private School!

Huey-Ming is an outstanding Algebra tutor. I first started using Huey-Ming to tutor my youngest son in Algebra when he was an eighth grader at Stratford Middle School in Sunnyvale. His overall grade went from a high-C to a high-B in this class at a very competitive middle school. He was able to score in the 99th percentile on the High School Placement Teat (HSPT) and get into Mitty. Now, she is tutoring him in Algebra II honors at Mitty and he is getting A’s again in his tests (up from B’s and C’s). She also keeps him motivated and focused. She just spent 2.5 hours last night tutoring him online for his final exam today, and requested photos from his math book chapter tests to prepare for the lesson. This shows her dedication to her students. The Wyzant online feature is fantastic, and makes it easier for everyone to get help. Thank you to Huey-Ming. I can see using her as a math tutor for my son’s entire high school career.

Caitlin, 11 lessons with Huey Ming

Knowledgeable and patient tutor.

Huey-Ming H has taught not only the Algebra 2 of usual content but also parts of Statistics included in the course work. She has worked through the material very well and the student has succeeded in the course. We appreciate her patience and persistence in working with the student.
