Richard L. - Vallejo, CA 94589 (5.5 mi) - Entrance Exams Tutor - $50.00/hr.
I have been successfully tutoring for over 10 years. I have helped students transform their grades from F's to A's. It has been a very rewarding experience, since my students get to understand the subject a lot better as well as improve their grades. I love working with students of all ages and teaching the many subjects I know. My specialties are math, science, and standardized testing. I am very patient and friendly. I am also able to explain an idea in many different ways. Many students tell me that I can explain concepts better than their teachers. Please check out my many positive reviews at https://www.wyzant.com/Tutors/Richard.
I graduated with honors at UCLA with a BS in Chemical Engineering. I can definitely tailor the tutoring session to your specific needs. Please check out the extensive list of the subjects that I am certified to tutor. My ultimate goal is to provide a

Julianna F - Pleasant Hill, CA 94523 (8.2 mi) - Entrance Exams Tutor - $42.50/hr.
It is my goal to provide support for all students striving to learn the academic, social, and emotional skills needed to become lifelong learners. I believe that the teacher and the curriculum must inspire the passion and power to make positive choices throughout life; education is the one and only key to reaching these goals and I consider it my job to make sure each student is prepared not just to meet them, but to exceed them. I have spent over ten years in the classroom teaching English Comprehension, Literature, Writing and Spelling to students in middle school. I have also worked extensively with struggling readers grades 4-12, and with English Language Learners. I have supervised summer school programs, led peer-tutoring groups, and run a school newspaper. I currently volunteer as a liaison between my school district and my city, sit on the board of a local parenting group with o

Terra W - Pleasant Hill, CA 94523 (9.7 mi) - Entrance Exams Tutor - $49.00/hr.
I have enjoyed teaching and tutoring a wide range of students in a vast array of different settings. Most recently, I have tutored reading to 4th graders at an elementary school, taught ESL and GED subjects to adults through an adult education center, and taught creative writing to 5th-8th graders at a summer camp. I have also tutored Japanese-speaking businessmen in English as well as American culture, and tutored a family from Hong-Kong in English communication, writing, and college preparation. I am also a former professional clown and have over 13 years experience working closely with children. Indeed, I also have my own thriving 9 and 12 year old children who lovingly call me "English Teacher" when they want help with their Language Arts and Social Studies homework. My "teaching style" changes depending on the needs of my students. In all cases, an initial assessment of both th

Nahrain A - Berkeley, CA 94704 (11.1 mi) - Entrance Exams Tutor - $47.50/hr.
I honestly believe that creativity is the guiding means of teaching techniques, resources, and assignments. All students require different things and creativity allows for an agility and flexibility that works with different students and keeps the teaching dialogue sustainable. This creativity is of course contingent on lesson plans, subject knowledge, and an array of resources. I am working toward teaching at the university level and have, of course in the process, taught students at the university level in literature and Arabic. But I enjoy tutoring and teaching students at a variety of levels because the different levels require different creativity and different techniques that create an ability to think on one's toes that feeds the classroom energy and enthusiasm.

Benedikte P - Walnut Creek, CA 94598 (12.5 mi) - Entrance Exams Tutor - $44.00/hr.
Whether the lesson is necessary for academic requirements or for leisure, I have always enjoyed passing my knowledge of the French language and culture to others, adapting my lessons to the level required by the student(s). Not everybody can flourish at the same pace; therefore my patience is an added bonus. I place emphasis on areas that most meet the student need, be it speaking, writing or grammar, and in some cases, culture. I have taught French at exam level as well as casual conversational level. An important part of any first lesson is to assess student need. I am French born and educated, with an MA in English from the Institut Catholique de Paris. Married to an Englishman, with two grown-up daughters, I have lived in California for the past 13 years, prior to which we lived in the UK. My experience includes work for the language department of Cricklade College, Andover, UK. I al

Timothy P - Oakland, CA 94611 (13.6 mi) - Entrance Exams Tutor - $47.50/hr.
I have spent 6 years teaching university-level German language courses and reading comprehension & writing courses. Before this, I spent 2 years as a volunteer instructor of bi-weekly English language classes in Romania and Moldova. In both contexts, I have taught interactive courses for students of various ages, educational levels, and cultural backgrounds. From my background in Linguistics, I understand how language 'works'. I have a quiver full of tools to use in explaining the linguistic nuances, which I use to explain the relationship between thought and language. Additionally, I have been involved in various research projects on language usage, language change, and language learning. I approach instruction from the view that “teach[ing] a man to fish, will feed him for a lifetime”. I am committed to building on what my students bring with them, using this as a fulcrum on which to h

Marlon R - Fairfield, CA 94533 (13.9 mi) - Entrance Exams Tutor - $50.00/hr.
I have been a substitute teacher for about 10 years specializing in math & physics. I have a BS in Mechanical Engineering plus 20+ years of maintenance/engineering experience. I incorporate practical examples in teaching to give students in depth knowledge in a practical sense. I gather my examples from my varied career experiences from the Military, Aircraft, Engineering, Manufacturing/Maintenance & Computer fields. I sporadically tutors students in my specialty. I use the Active Participation strategy because it engages the learner not only in understanding but in contributing as well. This active learning process combined with introduction of practical uses/examples of the the subject matter provides a deeper meaning. But most of all the Objective,Purpose,and what their interests are, must be known so that these can be incorporated in the learning process.

Dave K - San Rafeal, CA 94903 (14.5 mi) - Entrance Exams Tutor - $47.00/hr.
As a high school teacher for 13 years, I have had a profound impact on the academic and personal success of a great majority of my students. I have won many "inspirational teacher awards" and have been identified by many of my students as the teacher most responsible for their success. They have said that I have made learning interesting, fun, and rewarding for them because I have a unique way of helping students make meaningful connections between academics and their lives. I have taught world history, U.S. history, geography, psychology, study skills, health and core English. I have traveled to 53 countries, been a professional singer, a collegiate national champion in crew, and a triathelete. I have taken a one year leave of absence from my high school and moved to Lighthouse point in order to write a book. I look forward to helping inspire students to achieve great things. "No on

Douglas W - San Francisco, CA 94115 (18.7 mi) - Entrance Exams Tutor - $44.00/hr.
I like teaching. I like teaching individuals. I enjoy the challenge of adapting my style and my information to the unique set of skills and experiences that each individual brings along with them. No two people are alike. So I try not to teach each student as if she is just like the last guy. What is called the "Affective Filter" is what I deal with most: that is the part of each student that is unwilling to try. Many people are uncomfortable with anything having to do with Math, for instance. So, I try to make the session as comfortable as possible. I guess you could say that I try to figure out what your comfort zone is, and what your goals are, and then push you just a little bit out of one and towards the other. I left the business world in 1999 to make good on my goal of completing my degree and teaching. I wanted the strongest foundation possible, so I chose General Studies, someti

Lynda V - Vacaville, CA 95688 (21.2 mi) - Entrance Exams Tutor - $41.50/hr.
As a goal oriented educator, I demonstrate to my students my enthusiasm for the subject matter. I am a commanding, authoritative presence, but never dictatorial. I use lots of energy and display a good sense of humor. I am respectful and never employ the use of negativity or sarcasm. I have been complimented many times by parents, teachers, and administrators on my method of establishing a rapport with my students. I maintain high expectations and aspirations for each of my students. I expect them to be engaged and active participants in the learning process. I possess a Bachelor of Arts degree and have been employed as a private tutor and as a substitute teacher. I am able to work with a wide variety of students. I have been employed with the Travis, Fairfield-Suisun, and Vacaville Unified School Districts. I have assisted students who were experiencing difficulty at the elemen

GERALD O - Castro Valley, CA 94546 (22 mi) - Entrance Exams Tutor - $50.50/hr.
My teaching style varies depending on the number of students taught and the personality of the students. Also, teaching style is also influenced by the subject taught. For example, Mathematics is a subject that can very easily be taught by incorporating games which catch the attention and interest of students and at the same time impart the desired knowledge in the students without the students even realizing it.
When this teaching style is successfully implemented, students are not only engaged in the activity but are also actually eager to keep learning and look forward to experiencing the subject even more. I have worked as a tutor for about 6 years and worked full time as the designated class room teacher, as a High School Math teacher for 2 years. Occasionally, I work as a substitute teacher. Over time, I have acquired a wealth of teaching experience. The areas I have taught/tut

I have discovered over the past year of substituting that I absolutely love teaching. Students are very comfortable with me as I am a very positive, friendly person who smiles a lot. As the parent of a college student, I was a tutor for 12 years. I know how to make learning fun and rewarding. I have a BS in Business and have worked in Mortgage and Banking for many years. This industry requires excellent written communication skills as well as practical math skills. I have been a substitute teacher for grades K - 12 for the past year in all subjects and have C-Best Certification. I am very familiar with the curriculum and I have an excellent rapport with students.

Michael S - Foster City, CA 94404 (29.8 mi) - Entrance Exams Tutor - $47.00/hr.
I have an undergraduate degree in Aerospace Engineering. I have a Masters in Systems Engineering. I have tutored one person in statistics, algebra, analytical geometry and elementary functions for one year. She has maintained an “A” average during that time. I take a look at what the existing instruction materials are attempting to convey and I add to that or expound on that. I use Google extensively to look for similar examples to the problems the student might be having. I believe that it is best to solve any given problem in at least two different ways if you really want to get some insight. It also helps in either verifying your answer or checking if you are in the ballpark.
