Mithu

Passionate about teaching Chemistry and Biology

During my school days I was fascinated by the world of chemistry, different colors of compounds, their constitution, and the principles behind so many chemical reactions which are in fact taking place within our body! My intense passion for chemistry inspired me to take a chemistry honors course (for my Bachelor's degree). It involved a lot of laboratory work in organic, physical and inorganic chemistry. Sometimes it was very tough, but it was fun, too. I passed my Bachelor's degree in Chemis... Read more

It was then I first discovered the joy of teaching Chinese. I then spent the next decade working as an engineer in Silicon Valley. Though teaching hasn’t been my full time job, I’ve always volunteered my nights and weekends to teaching kids in Chinese schools. In addition to oral and written Chines... Read more

Coming from the University of Minnesota, I developed a great dedication to the educational process. This has primarily involved the process of learning physics, as well as the potential difficulties along the way. My hope is to use this experience and my passion to continue helping people better understand physics and related subjects. Throughout the course of earning my PhD, I helped tutor many students in introductory physics courses. I was also a Teaching Assistant for a variety of l... Read more

Michele

Experienced, credentialed & love the work.

I began my teaching career when my oldest daughter's kindergarten teacher suggested I get a credential, since I worked in her classroom so successfully. It took me a couple of years to do, while caring for three children. My first job was a 6th grade position in a private school, where I worked for 4 years. An opportunity came to apply for a public school position, and I was hired as a 5th grade middle school teacher. After 4 years, I was transferred to 6th grade, to team-teach a group of... Read more

Michael

Everyone learns Spanish differently

The students who connect with my approach the most are those for whom foreign language does not come easy; that is how Spanish was for me. Spanish was by far my most difficult course when I returned to college. Math and science were easiest for me to understand, but my techniques for success in those were not helpful with Spanish. A professor told me the best way to learn something is to teach it. So I trained as a CRLA II certified tutor to learn techniques I could apply to succeed with ... Read more
