About Grace

I genuinely want my students to do well and I would like to find a method of learning that works for them. I used to be a Chemistry tutor during my senior year of high school, volunteering as a TA for my old chemistry teacher's class. I've also been working at Santa Monica College as a STEM program tutor for Pre-calc, Calc and the first class of chemistry for almost a year and a half now. I'm the president of our Engineering Club and my major is Environmental Engineering. I hope to inspire others to enjoy the wonderful world of STEM as well.

I got started teaching when I was in between jobs and originally, I assumed I wouldn't be the best, due to my own troubles learning in these rigorous STEM classes. I have suffered from chronic anxiety all my life and it became hard to focus in school. Once I got that job to tutor, I saw myself in these students and I was able to mentor them and just let them know that it was ok to not understand something, or to take longer than the average person to get it. What only mattered was them and the faith and determination within themselves to succeed.

I have worked for Santa Monica College's STEM program for about a year and a half, I am also PART of the STEM program as a student as well. I'm pursuing an Environmental Engineering degree, and through the classes I've taken, I've been able to gain experience in not only the academic field of STEM but the professional side as well.

About the lesson

The most important thing I do is try to understand their personality and try to engage with them accordingly. Depending on their personality, like if they feel more talkative or more reserved, I will try to match my personality with them to make them feel as comfortable as possible.

I have worked with many diverse students. Some might just needed quick explanations on certain topics and some needed multiple days of constant studying to prepare for their next exam. As far as personality, I've dealt with students who begin to understand easily and some who need more time to grasp certain concepts and both types of students are no less than the other.

The advice I would give to students is to understand that a teacher is still human. They still have the same emotions you do, and they are able to empathize with your situation as much as you are able to. Don't be afraid for not knowing something.

I once tutored a person for calculus and they had an extremely hard time understanding the material. We were able to work together for many days and I was worried that they might not be ready for the exam. However, they came to me after they got their grades back, and turns out that they actually got an A! I was so proud of them and myself, because that was when I was able to have the confidence in myself to help others.

A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
I believe students should think about the length of their question. If they are having trouble from just getting a problem started, gather those questions seperately from the shorter questions, that way, you can make full use of tutoring time.

Grace was really awesome. I felt super lost in my class and didn't understand anything, but she was really patient with me and helped me through it. She was easy to talk to and I would recommend her to any of my classmates that are also struggling.

I was sh***ing bricks since I struggle with calc so bad. I'm not that great with math at all, but I needed it so I came to Grace. She was very nice and had a lot of patience with me. I definitely learned a lot more from her than my professor.

Although I have not had that many sessions with Grace, I can honestly say that the few times she helped me were very useful. She has a customized way to explain single-variable Calculus to everybody. For instance, I am visual, I like seeing a lot of pictures, so Grace would do just that to help me understand better. I must admit that I am very slow with math so I don't really get things easily. However, Grace just kind of let me go at my own pace which is something I appreciated. 10/10 would tutor again.
