I graduated from UCLA in 2007 with a Bachelor's degree in Anthropology. Since graduation, I have worked in the field of social services assisting families and students to self sufficiency.I have experience working with various populations, including but not limited to at risk youth, disabled adults, students with IEP, and disrupted families. I have tutored grades K-12 in all subject areas as needed such as Math, English, and Writing. Currently, I am a case manager working with at risk youth in high school, encouraging them stay in school and get to graduation. I assist them by creating individualized goals and monitoring those goals throughout the school year.I am passionate about working youth and adolescents because I truly believe when students are provided with guidance and the necessary resources to succeed, we will see them excel beyond all expectations.In my spare time, I enjoy a night in with a movie or a good book, working out, and cooking.

I have a Master of Science degree from UCLA specializing in Chemistry, and I also have a Bachelor of Science degree with a major of Chemistry, and two minors: Physics and Spanish. I have tutored students since I myself was a student in Middle School, then tutored Chemistry in college and grad school for people earning their Bachelors degrees. I have been tutoring while also being an Upper School Science and Math teacher for over 19 years. I teach all levels of Chemistry (including AP), Physics (regular and honors), AP Environmental Science, Honors Precalculus, Trigonometry, Algebra 1 and 2, Earth Science, and Physical Science and have taught Chemistry and Physics at the college level as well. My favorite topics to tutor are Chemistry and Precalculus/Trigonometry.I am a patient teacher who can explain problems in many different ways according to how individual students learn best. I only ask that you know and explain to me what topics you do not know or get so far. I know that every student can learn a subject with a combination of practice and patience, but I insist upon consistent effort and sessions. As an educator I do not support last minute cramming as the primary learning method of content for students as it does not lead to retention of material, mastery of larger themes, or the ability to differentiate between subtle differences when problem-solving on tests and exams. I will help my clients when they need extra sessions before Final Exams and AP Exams, but those who have been working the hardest throughout the school year to regularly improve will get preference over those students who are panicked at the last minute, but have put off meeting with me.

I am a graduate of Nevada State College, where I received my Bachelors of Arts in English. Since graduation, I have been privately tutoring elementary students in subjects such as reading comprehension, writing, vocabulary, and language development.While I did graduate with a degree in English, I am also passionate about Literature, Poetry, History, and Women's Studies. Each of those disciplines are not only interconnected, but also bring forth different understandings of human conditions, social laws, and how language is understood.In my experience with tutoring, I have learned to meet students where they are at to enable them to achieve their academic goals. I encourage questions and honor new modalities of learning. Being a tutor means advocating for the tutees and showing them how to be more confident in where they struggle. We are on the same team, and the efforts they put forth are also a reflection of how much I pour into them.

Hello, My name is Aiko and I have two major passions; education and music. Coming from a background of educators, I understand the necessity of teaching and tutoring. Seeing the position of where the value of education has been placed on the spectrum, it is imperative for us to communally bring the joy of education back to the forefront. And I believe here at Varsity Tutors is the best way to bridge that gap.

I am a graduate of Wayne State University. My passions in my academic career included literature, phonetics and linguistics, and grammar in both the English and Spanish languages. I received my Bachelor of Arts in English and Spanish. During my time as a student, I volunteered as a tutor of ESL to adults in the 1st and 2nd levels. I was able to help my students grasp English more fully by approaching lessons with an understanding of how difficult it is to learn a new language. I would provide new examples or ways to memorize. For students struggling with pronunciation, I was able to help with my background in phonetics in both English and Spanish. I have also tutored ESL in an elementary school setting. I enjoyed finding fun stories to challenge my students, but in a subject they were interested in. I would try to find engaging forms of learning that focused on what they were learning in class. I believe in education, and believe that knowledge is power.In my spare time, I enjoy reading, photography, playing the piano, volleyball, board games, and trying to teach myself the guitar.

I am a semi-retired, well-rounded and seasoned entrepreneur with a proven track record of success.My specialty has been, and continues to be, the founding and growing of companies and the application of technology to business enterprises.From 1979 to present I was involved in numerous entrepreneurial ventures, both public and private, with responsibilities spanning the spectrum from executive administrative tasks to chairing Boards of Directors.I attended the University of Illinois where I earned a Bachelor's degree (in only 5 semesters) in Business Administration and graduated Summa Cum Laude (1978). During that time period I helped establish my first financial conglomerate, including a mutual fund, an NASD sales and investment advisory firm, and a transfer agent.In 1983, I earned a Master's in Business Administration from Illinois State University with a specialty in the field of Finance.

During my tenure, I held, among others, SEC Series Licenses 3, 4, 7, 15, 24, 27, 53, and 63. As the firm's primary SEC Licensed Principal, I grew this financial services conglomerate to $21 million in annual revenues, with over $700 million in customer assets under management, and employed approximately 300 licensed personnel. I coordinated and managed all functions of the holding company and its subsidiaries, which included a national brokerage firm, a commodity firm, an insurance firm, a market-making brokerage firm, and a facilities company.

I am currently teaching math at Chaparral high school. The subjects I taught for the past three years include Algebra I, Algebra II, Pre-Calculus and College preparatory math. Overall I have been working in academic areas for the last 10 years studying, teaching and tutoring. I know how to help students in their specific subject related problems as well as improving study skills.

I am open minded and easy to talk.
