I started my tutoring career after many years of working as a chemist for companies such as Ciba-Corning Dianostics & Southern Californina Gas Co. I got trained & certified as a tutor by Applied Scholatics over a decade ago. It was through their training that I learned to teach kids K-8 how to recognize the barriers to learning & how to remedy them.
I teach my students how to master their basic tools (Phonics, Reading, Grammar, Writing, Comprehension, Math) & help them to use effectively what they learn.
My teaching & study methods emphasize the understanding & the practical application of what has been learned. My ultimate goal in tutoring is to help my students to become life long self-learner & independent thinker.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I usually like to start by interviewing both parents and student to find out what’s needed.Then I have the student to take series of assessments depending on the subject(s) he or she desires to improve. Finally, according to the results of the assessment(s) I prepare a tailored learning plan to accomplish the established goals.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Before getting trained & certified by Applied Schalostics Int. As a tutor I was a chemist for 15 years. By being a chemist I gained experience on the area of applied math & science. And through my training at APS Int. I learned how to teach my students not only the basic subjects but also the barriers to learning. Once my students learn how to recognize the barriers to learning & how to remedy them, they study effectively & can apply what they study to life.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
I usually charge $50/hour of tutoring session. If the distance is usually far I add $5 dollars for gas.
