Current math teacher

I had a few bad experiences in middle school and believed the lie that I "wasn't a math person". I spent summers in summer school and working with tutors, and then grew in my self-confidence. My high school algebra 2 teacher completed the process of turning the lights on, and the rest is history. I've been helping out in math ever since. I've tutored for the past 8 years as a math teacher at The King's Academy, both inside of the school and with outside students. I love being able to help... Read more

Contract screenwriter. Published author. Graphic novelist. Forensics instructor. Enough about me. This is about YOU. And, yes, I really do care. Creativity isn't a vague concept too abstract to understand. Writing is about finding, developing and sharing your "voice". Bold and atypical -- but justified -- choices win. Impactful teachers demystify the process. Our sessions are like coffee talk with a friend: loose and flexible to understand individual needs yet highly effective. One ... Read more

I started to work as a part time math tutor ten years ago, when I was in college. I love teaching math, especially work one-on-one with students, which is more efficient and personalized. My solid background in math makes me eligible to teach all levels of math subjects (pre-algebra, algebra 1, algebra 2, geometry, trigonometry, precalculus). I also help the students prepare for the math tests, such as SAT and ACT. All my students show great improvements after 2 or 3 sections with me. I w... Read more

I am coding most of the time and love to share my experience with other. I have been teaching Java at a high school in California. As I interact with students on a regular basis, I feel they are more comfortable understanding the concepts first than jumping on to practice coding directly. I mainly focus on the basic concepts as well as on the lab work. Besides this, I am a strong believer of encouraging girls to learn more about Computer Science. If you look at any computer science class, ... Read more
