Experience
Previous student tutoring experience includes volunteer work through the Learning Assistance Program at Saddleback College, as well as free-lance tutoring among local students in the Mission Viejo and Santa Cruz areas for over four years. I also worked for an academic prep center in Cupertino teaching the SAT II Math, Algebra/Trigonometry, and Chemistry summer courses. I have been working as a chemist in San Jose for the last year, but I've left my research jobs to pursue tutoring and teaching full-time. Currently, I tutor free-lance and work on everything from SAT/ACT prep to chemistry to conceptual physics. I enjoy tutoring because it is an excellent way for me to develop my teaching skills in the subjects that I hope to master and teach someday; no two students think exactly alike, and it is important to me to help others develop their OWN LEARNING METHODS. Finding the most efficient approach to UNDERSTANDING a subject is something I focus on with my students; grades will only get you so far if you merely seek to memorize or "get by".
