Joshua P - Berkeley, CA 94703 (42.2 mi) - Civil Engineering Tutor - $58.50/hr.
Wanting to teach is the major reason I got my PhD. I've always had a love of learning, and want to be able to share that with students. It is important to understand that all students are different and no one approach will work for all students. In my experience teaching both as a lecturer and on an individual basis, when dealing with a student one-on-one, the student and the tutor need to be equal partners in the session. The focus needs to be on what the student is having trouble with and the tutor acting as a guide. As someone who has benefited from excellent teachers in my education, I try to use what I have learned from them in my teaching. The most important part of teaching is to make the student want to learn and feel engaged. I started my teaching experience as a hired math tutor for the University of Maryland while I was getting my BS in Civil Engineering. While pursuing

Den T - Oakland, CA 94606 (46 mi) - Civil Engineering Tutor - $48.00/hr.
During the ups and downs of my undergraduate career, I became self-aware of the challenges that a student faces, especially within subjects that are not his/her strong suits. I believe the best approach is one where self-motivation from within is encouraged, as any subject is difficult without the right motivation. To identify the right motivation, as a tutor back in 2001, I took time to discuss with the students their interests and goals. By understanding them on this personal level, I felt it was easier to connect with them and make them realize that their success was of great importance to me. As a graduate from a top-10 university and from graduate school, I know what it takes to get into a top program and succeed at a high level. In the past 5 year, I have been working as a consultant in the environmental industry, but want to take some time off now to explore other interest.

Ruby V - Alameda, CA 94501 (46.4 mi) - Civil Engineering Tutor - $49.50/hr.
I love working with children. I can easily build a rapport with kids, making them more comfortable because I believe that learning should also be fun and enjoyable. I believe that all children have the capacity to excel in anything they wish to pursue in the future, they just need the right amount of encouragement. I'd like to guide and help them learn new things and discover what they can do. I am an example that having the right guidance at an early age can really make a difference. I was accelerated from level 4 to 5 based on academic proficiency, and was granted a scholarship to the most prestigious math and science high school in the Philippines, which gave me a very good foundation in math and sciences, and that knowledge made my transition into university very easy. I was then admitted to the top performing university (UP) in the Philippines, and graduated with a Bachelor's Degre
