Award-Winning Elementary Math Tutors for Students in Vista, CA

...love science and math and, luckily, Bioengineering allows me to study everything from Cell Biology to Mechanics to Differential Equations. I regularly taught classical dance to a class of 15 young girls when I was in high school; breaking down dance steps for them really taught me how to deconstruct and convey ideas. I'm patient and logical and love to work with kids. Besides taking classes, I volunteer in a research lab and dance on...

...Over the years, I have learned that not everyone is as excited about school as I am, so I always try to connect the material to the students as much as possible. I am always willing to go that extra mile to reach my students in a way that they will understand the material and maybe even enjoy it! In my free time, I enjoy playing soccer, walking around the beach, exploring my new town,...

...emphasis on Education. During school I tutored junior high, high school, and college students in math. I was a teacher's assistant in a junior high math class as well as a high school math class. My passion is teaching students math. In the Fall I will be going to get my Master's in Education and my Teaching Credential to teach math at the junior high and high school levels. I also love sports! I played...

...Diego State University with a BS in Biology and National University with a BS in Math. I am a retired math teacher from San Diego Unified School District where I taught primarily 6th grade through 8th grade math. I tutor lower level math to Algebra. My favorite subject to teach/tutor is Pre-Algebra since it is the gateway to the upper level math classes. I try to show the students that there is math all around...

...members. I would help them prepare for upcoming topics while working with them to develop their speaking, writing and research skills. I'm currently teaching two after-school classes, one in Pre-Calculus and the other in Biology. I am very comfortable tutoring in Math (up to Pre-Calc), Science (Biology, Physics, Chemistry), Government, Economics, and Essay Composition. I also work with test prep students (ISEE, SAT, ACT, and LSAT). In my free time, I like playing basketbal, listening...

...Kelly Educational Services, I taught 6th grade social studies in the Colonial School District in Delaware, substituted in Escondido Union School District (language arts), and I am currently an active teacher at a charter school where I teach elementary classes as well as middle and high school social studies. Teaching is more than just instruction. It is about being passionate towards education and the future of our students. Fundamentally, all students are teachable. It is...

...and talking to them on different topics. One of the reasons my students love me, is because they can talk to me, more like a friend. For my hobbies, I can do anything and everything that can keep me busy during my spare time. I am an outgoing person and have been of immense help to my students so far. It is one of the things that I am really good at, and hence proud...

...in that material during my internship. Since it is such a departure from the type of mathematics students are used to before they get to that level, I really loved serving as their guide to open their minds to a new perspective with the help of my progressive graduate school training. I could not have asked for better students, and we even went out as a group to lunch and a local amusement park after...

...see the big picture and how science concepts fit into everyday life. In teaching any subject I like to first explain the concept or problem in depth and then have the student teach it to me. I believe that when you are able to teach a subject, you understand it best and will perform better when tested. In my free time I enjoy playing guitar and listening to music. I also enjoy surfing, skateboarding, and...

...While I did that, I completed training as an Emergency Medical Technician and took coursework in Wilderness Search and Rescue at the University of West Georgia. I started a dual degree in veterinary medicine and graduate school, earning a DVM/PhD. My doctoral work was with viral diseases in white-tailed deer. I have spent the last two years in a residency program with the veterinary medical teaching hospital at UC-Davis, and I am now completing my...

...The way I study is to understand what I am studying, so I can memorize it better. Therefore, my tutoring style would be to explain the subject and make it easier to understand, then it will be easier to memorize and apply to different questions. Also, I can manipulate the tutoring style with the need of the students. For example, I can provide diagrams and figures to explain a subject if the student will learn...

...and succeed. In my tutoring, I strive to get to know each student's individual learning style and then to adapt my lesson plans to the student's needs. I am determined to help each student unlock their potential and find their love of learning through a positive learning environment that is challenging but also supportive. I have also had a lot of experience with the SAT's, AP exams, and the college process, and I look forward...

...a student learn the most in the fastest amount of time possible for them. Be it more practice, or more in-depth explanation of the material, I try several different methods of tutoring to see what clicks with each individual student, and then continue with what works. I believe that it is essential to communicate well with a student, and the only way to understand what they don't understand is by discussing with them what confuses...

...children extensively as it coincided with information I was learning in college. This provided an excellent platform to practice my one on one techniques and abilities with students. I believe that many students have different learning styles, and it is the educators responsibility to capitalize on these learning styles to provide the learner with an optimal chance at success. When I am not actively involved in the education field, I enjoy eating healthy and exercising...

...allowing for personal connection to the material, and support the student through answering follow-up questions. I am the type of tutor that has patience, understanding, and a good sense of humor to the point that I want the student to enjoy learning the material more than it just being bearable. I promise that I will always try my hardest, be flexible, and change my approach to teaching to teach to the learner to ensure success!

...yoga teacher, I guess you could say teaching has always been a calling for me. I truly enjoy guiding, supporting, and helping to move people forward toward their goals; this type of work is infinitely rewarding. In addition to reading! and yoga! I also enjoy cooking (and eating!), spending time outdoors, traveling, and simply relaxing with family and friends. I look forward to helping you reach your goals in writing, reading, literature, school, and life!

...transition from engineering to teaching, I have felt more fulfilled than ever before. Using my real world experiences to help students make the "why do I need to learn this" connection is one of my strengths. Seeing the look on a student's face when they have that break through moment is one of the most rewarding experiences I have had in my time with teaching. The best compliment I've received from my students is that...

...in math. Since then, I have helped students (including medical students doing hospital rotations) succeed in academics. I have improved a lot in my teaching methods and make each session high energy and interactive. Most recently I did a pediatrics internship at UCSF-Fresno, but with my background in the biotechnology industry, I'd like to go back into research. I enjoy math almost as much as Biology/Medicine and am willing to teach most math topics through...

...of tutoring experience working with refugees in elementary school and tutoring Chemistry to college students. I graduated from UCSD in 2011 and am applying to graduate school to study Molecular Biology. In the meantime, I enjoy working in science and sharing my passion for science to budding students. I love helping students understand how to approach difficult math and science problems without being intimidated, and I hope to relate the importance of a solid education...

...I find these subjects fascinating both in and out of the classroom. My tutoring style involves breaking complex subjects down into smaller fractions and slowly building up to the whole concept, which is quite effective. Additionally, I try to relate the subjects to the real world so that the student can identify why it is important and fun to learn. Outside of the academic world, my hobbies include playing volleyball, football, or basketball, scuba diving,...
