Experience
Previous Tutoring Experience: 1. Three years of one-on-one tutoring in Math, Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, Calculus, Spanish, ESL, and test preparation such as SAT, GRE, and FE/EIT. See my existing Wyzant approved profile at http://www.wyzant.com/Tutors/WA/Seattle/7917861/ 2. One year of on-demand online tutoring in Algebra, Trigonometry, and Calculus for www.tutor.com. 3. One year as a volunteer instructor for two weekly adult ESL classes at the South Everett Neighborhood Center. Why tutor? Being a tutor is one of the most amazing ways of connecting with students in one-on-one settings that allow for lessons tailored the student's learning style, experience, and background. The interaction between tutor and student is unique and learning really takes place both ways. My experience with the subjects I tutors stems mainly from my career in engineering and my deep interest in all that math and languages have to offer. I continue to sharpen my skills through self-paced courses, review, and tutoring. Regarding educational approaches, my graduate work has afforded me great opportunities to work in actual high school classrooms and keep up to date on theories of learning that I find invaluable for tutoring. A few of my favorite teaching accomplishments include: 1. An intense Algebra II summer tutoring experience for a 10th grade student who wanted to advanced directly from Algebra I to Pre-calculus. Preparing lessons that aligned with what would have been the Algebra II classroom curriculum was both challenging and highly educative. 2. Teaching two weekly adult ESL classes as a volunteer for a year at the South Everett Neighborhood Center. Managing meaningful lessons for adult students with very specific language goals was rewarding and one of the greatest experiences in my evolving teaching career.
