I am passionate about Science Education and making science accessible to people of all backgrounds. I have taught seven semesters worth of science classes at California State University, Long Beach. I coached the science section of academic decathlon at Pacifica High School in Garden Grove for two years. I am currently running an after school engineering program at Pacifica High School in collaboration with the University of California, Irvine chapter of Engineers Without Borders.

I am an MFA graduate from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. I write short stories, plays and poetry in the absurdist, humorist, surrealist and fantastic traditions. As an educator I have worked with adults with learning disabilities. I have taught science, english, and history courses for K-8. I was a teaching assistant for Drawing for Animation at the college level. And I've homeschooled an 8 year old in the subjects of science, history, sorcery, and storytelling. I'm passionate about art and expression. I take time to ensure my students grasp the material. I'm tutoring English, Science, Literature, Art, Creative Writing, Drawing, Comedy, Improv, Theatre, Filmmaking, Reading Comprehension, and Animation.
I enjoy the one-on-one tutoring sessions because it provides a safe environment to learn. I break the sessions into small learning increments to motivate and engage the student. I believe this teaching strategy encourages independent learning and students want to come back to the next session.
I left high school and entered into college full-time when I was only 14, and transferred to a UC campus as a junior by the time I was 17. I received my Bachelor's degree in Biological Sciences at UC Merced, and my Masters in Public Administration at Cal State Long Beach. My academic path has been quite unconventional, but it gave me the opportunity familiarize myself with a wide range of subjects. I am currently continuing my education in the medical sector, and volunteer at a local hospital with some of my spare time. I'm very confident in my ability to tutor all subjects, but I am most experienced in tutoring students in math and science. Based on my experience, students tend to learn best when they're taught to understand concepts, rather than being asked to memorize. During my study breaks, I enjoy swimming, bike riding, cooking and, more importantly, eating.
I hold a bachelor's and master's degree in Statistics, and I have worked in a variety of roles at big companies as a data analyst, and statistician. My goal is to provide students with top quality tutoring by being attentive to their needs, and working as a team towards finding solutions. My teaching philosophy is to identify and strengthen areas of weakness, and encourage dedication to learning math because I firmly believe anyone can learn math! My hobbies are running, writing short stories, maintaining my blog and reading.

I am a Microbiology Master's candidate at California State University, Long Beach (CSULB) with an expected graduation date of May 2018. I have extensive teaching experience at the college level by working as a Teaching Associate for a Microbiology Lab Course for Health Professional Majors at (CSULB). At this position, I am responsible for instruction and oversight of up to 24 students. As this is an introductory class for non-science major students, I make sure that complex scientific theory is explained in a way that is easy for students to understand.

As a detail-oriented person, I ensure the highest level of quality and accuracy in my work performance.
I'm an affable chemistry-loving person whose joy come from delivering knowledge :D
Since I was 5 years old, I knew I wanted to be in the field of education. While earning my BA in English Education and Single Subject Credential in English, I took every opportunity I had to tutor students in need. I have been tutoring children and adults for more than 10 years now, and I have been working as a private language instructor and cultural trainer for almost 4 years. I have experience teaching first grade and high school, so I have a lot of experience working with all ages. I currently tutor and teach private classes in the following subjects: reading, writing, listening, speaking, ESL, literature, vocabulary, spelling, grammar, essay writing, study skills, and test prep.I am a people-person, and I love helping people succeed in all discourses--academic, social, and professional. I like to make learning fun and interesting by finding topics people can relate to, and I think hands-on and interactive lessons are key to student success. For English Learners, it is important to incorporate a person's first language and culture into lessons as a way of assimilating and adapting new practices. Learning a new language doesn't mean forgetting our first language, so we want to embrace it and use it as a learning tool for success.
I am a graduate of California State University Long Beach. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Studio Art with a focus on Graphic Design. Since graduation, I have been a substitute teacher in two different school districts in Southern California. I have worked with students ranging from Pre-K to 8th grade, and from general education classrooms to special education and RSP settings. During this time I discovered my affinity for teaching and instruction. Of the different subjects I am qualified to tutor in, I am most passionate about the arts and sciences! I am proficient in Adobe Photoshop and have experience with both Adobe Illustrator and Adobe InDesign. Creative writing is a passion of mine, and I love showing people just how creative they can be. I am extremely patient and understanding. I believe everyone has the capacity to learn, even things as daunting as drawing or painting with no prior experience!
I am a Kinesiology graduate student at Cal State Long Beach and I received my B.A. in Sociology at UC Irvine. I have tutored elementary students for almost a year and enjoy teaching study skills techniques. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, my favorite subjects to tutor are reading and writing because I enjoy doing both. I have always enjoyed school and feel that education is one of the most important things we can obtain in life. I hope to be able to share my appreciation for education with my students so that they may know from a young age how important it is. In my spare time I enjoy reading, watching Netflix, running and going to sporting events with friends.
Hello students! I am an Education college student in my final year to earn my teaching credential for Adolescent and Young Adult education in Language Arts. I specialize in assistance with reading, writing, spelling, grammar, and critical analysis of a text.In addition to my training to become a language arts teacher, I have a Bachelor of Arts in English with an emphasis in Creative Writing. I worked as a professional writer for several years before changing my career to pursue education.I believe that every student has the ability to learn course content. Often, the missing elements in successful learning are the "how" and "why" of content. I find out how students learn best by asking questions and creating learning methods based on student aptitudes. I also believe that students learn much more efficiently when they understand why something is critical or important, and how it can apply to their future goals.*PLEASE NOTE: My tutoring schedule may be subject to change during the fall semester due to upcoming on-site student teaching for my credential program during the morning and afternoon hours. If this becomes the case, I will notify you ASAP.
I am a soon to be graduate of California State University, Long Beach where I study and will receive a Bachelor's of Science in Electrical Engineering. During my time studying, I have worked at East Los Angeles College for 4 years teaching a wide range of Mathematics to the students there. I would work with students in private sessions and, on occasion, lead a study group for students enrolled in the same class. I believe the private sessions were more effective because they focused on each student's individual issue, and all students have their own way of learning. I enjoy working with all types of math problems, but the subject I have the most fun with is Trigonometry, as it pushes the student to think creatively in solving the problem. Outside of academics, I like listening to Alternative Rock or Electric Dance Music. I also enjoy playing random sports, hiking, video games, and playing with my cat.
I am passionate about teaching, tutoring and helping students maximize their educational journey. I have been tutoring various areas in education ranging from the math and sciences to music and Spanish. I have been tutoring now for five years and have been very successful in my mission of helping students succeed! I have had the opportunity to teach in the school district I am in for about five years as well and I have seen many of my students go on to graduate and achieve high success.My biggest goal is to change the mindset of students I tutor from "This is too hard" to "I have this down now" and that is just through through work and an encouraging and positive learning environment.
I was previously employed at California State University, Long Beach as a Graduate Teaching Assistant for General Microbiology lecture and laboratory courses. My master's thesis research in Peter Ramirez's Lab focused on HIV-1 accessory protein interactions with human intrinsic restriction factors and how these factors may also contribute to SARS-CoV-2 virus-like particle infectivity. Currently, I am working towards obtaining a doctorate degree in biomedical science within the Virology and Gene Therapy track at Mayo Clinic Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences. With the associated experience and knowledge that comes from earning my Ph.D., I aim to conduct research on emerging viral pathogens and/or antiviral/vaccine development.
Writing and critical thinking are essential to academic success and participation in our cultural experience. Life is richer with a clearer understanding of how and why cultural production and the arts work. My goal is to demystify the writing process and nurture critical analysis to not only increase academic success but create more meaningful life experiences. I firmly believe that the humanities and a liberal education serve to create a rich and more enjoyable life, regardless of what field of work one ends up working in.I earned my Bachelors degree in Comparative Literature from Long Beach State University and a Masters in English from Portland State University while working full time. This blue collar outlook benefitted me by seeing how a liberal arts education dovetailed into situations that were not strictly academic in nature. The critical thinking skills that were fostered in the classroom would translate out into the living world allow me to converse and engage with various members of the community in meaningful ways.My passion is allow students to see this fluidity between the classroom and real world and help them realize the meaningful nature of the humanities. Once this understanding is achieved problems with the writing process and critical analysis become less daunting, since we must simply learn a new way to communicate the ideas we are already engaged with.I enjoy attending all sorts of cultural events, especially those that offer unique and differing opinions from my own. From the country flea market to the civic opera, watching blockbuster films to the independent arthouse offerings, I like to engage with all of the cultural productions that are available to me. It is in that spirit of 'Carpe Diem' that I enjoy being a part of the creative, living world around us.

Math and science can be frustrating and intimidating to many people, and my objective is to help you overcome any hurdles your may have in these subjects in order to achieve your academic and career goals.Having received my Bachelors of Science in Physics from California State University, Long Beach, I have a passion for science and math which I love to transmit to other people, whether they be curious laymen, fellow students, or tutees. While earning my degree I had the opportunity of taking part in undergrad research at my university, and the privilege of participating in a student internship program at Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena. This experience has given me some perspective in appreciating the scope and possibilities in science.But while doing so I have also practiced my other passion--instruction and education in this field and related subjects by working as a tutor for high school students in the subjects of math, science, and in test preparation. I also have experience in a job after graduation as a tutor of university students in college level courses, from remedial math and science classes to more advanced second and third year physics courses.After several years working as a laboratory technician at a fuel cell research and design company, I am returning to this latter passion as I pursue a teaching credential program at the University of Dominguez Hills. In my view, the best approach to teaching is not one that just instructs you in procedures by rote memorization and repetition (although these may be necessary and useful in achieving success), but also one that guides you to acquire the needed tools and critical thinking skills to not only learn the procedures needed for math, science, or standardized tests, but to also hopefully understand the subject sufficiently to develop your own techniques in many different situations, or to possibly apply them in your area your interest.This is achieved by identifying your level of understanding, making sure you know or learn any needed background information, and to also sometimes explain and give you an insight into the motivation for the formulas, techniques or procedures pertaining to the subject at hand, and relating them to different examples and applications in real life in order to make them less abstract. In whichever approach I may take, in the end my aim is to demystify and make these subjects less intimidating to you, since I more than likely have gone through similar frustrations in my education.
I have been in academics just about all of my life and I greatly enjoy the pursuit of knowledge and collaboration with others. May the learning never end!
