California Tutors

My educational philosophy is to view each student’s learning ability as individualistic based on the child’s physical learning capabilities, existing academic foundation, determination to learn, and community/cultural/religious influence. I feel a good teach exercises patience and balances rigidity with fun.
I’ve found the application approach best helps students understand. Mathematics is a tool but when taught only as such, it becomes daunting and confusing. When students are taught how to use said tool, they grasp the topics more easily.
No matter what material it is I am teaching, I try to be very patient and leave a lot of room for questions to be asked. I believe that in teaching, the instructor must have a truly genuine interest in her student’s success. The idea of success, for me, also extends beyond the curriculum; I want to instill good study habits and learning methods for future success as well. Overall, I would describe myself as a helpful tutor. I am just here to help.

Chalk Talk: What Comes After College/University?

As students, most of us get carried away with our busy schedules and miss out on the important steps on planning our lives. While there are many who would rather let life lead them, it is a good idea to get a basic understanding of what your options just in case you need a back up plan. Here are some tips to get started:

Do Your Research
The first step in deciding where your life is headed must be done by doing research. By completing your research online or in-person, it allows you to understand all the different paths you can take and the steps required to achieve it. You can start making decisions necessary to achieve those goals in the specific pathway you choose to go.

Attend Job Fairs
Job Fairs provide many opportunities for students in different fields. Usually there will be a location where multiple employers will set up information about their companies and students can hand out their resumes and talk to them to build their network. Some schools also hold information sessions throughout the school year that lasts for about one to two hours. Students can also bring in their resumes here while getting a better idea of how the company works. Since these settings are more casual than interview settings, students and employers can keep a level of professionalism while exchanging interests about one another to increase their likelihood of obtaining a position there. Figure out on your school web page when and where the events will occur and be ready to socialize!
