Experience
I was a volunteer online computer science tutor for Saddleback College where I helped students with their labs and assignments. I was also an in class Trigonometry tutor at Irvine Valley College (IVC) where I aided students in the class with their worksheets. Currently at IVC, I work in the math center where I help students with varying levels of math prepare for exams and conceptually understand their assignments. Off campus, I privately tutor two siblings in algebra and geometry. They have seen a whole letter grade increase from one semester to the next.
Teaching Methodology
I like to see what level of understanding a student has. If it is at level 0, I start with a concept I know they understand and build on the concept they understand until their confusion slowly disappears.
I like to have them complete a problem on their own before I begin helping them. If they get stuck I might give a hint just so they reach the finish line. Once they complete a problem, I have them explain their steps if I notice a mistake. This usually results in them seeing their own mistake before I mention it.
If I ask them a conceptual question and they answer it wrong I have them explain their logic and try to correct it. To me, a conceptual misunderstanding is the most serious kind of misunderstanding so I have to reach the core of their misunderstanding.
