Experience
Software Developer at IBM As a tutor, my goal is to help struggling students conquer difficult material. I have tutored dozens of students, ranging from elementary school kids to college seniors. I have taught Algebra, Trigonometry, Biology, Chemistry, English, Reading, and Writing. I have also helped with editing essays, putting together big projects, cramming for finals, and studying for standardized tests, such as the SAT and ACT. In the past, I have helped students dump messy habits, become more organized, refine good study skills, and manage time better. My method of tutoring is to teach students to understand the material on their own, rather than just feed them answers. When I finish my session, I like to know that the student can complete the problem or task on their own, without any outside help. I am compassionate, understanding, and very patient. I am able to explain material in more than one way, until we come across something that works and makes sense to the student. I recently graduated from the University of the Pacific, with a degree in Computer Science and Chemistry-Biology. I have taken courses up to college level Calculus, Organic Chemistry, Biology, and English, Data Structures, Parallel Programming, etc. I have come across many difficult subjects during my academic path and I understand the frustrations of not being able to get the right answer. As your tutor, I hope I can help you become more confident with whatever subject you are studying.
