Jessica G. - Mountain View, CA 94041 (4.7 mi) - ACT Tutor - $42.50/hr.
I tend to have a hands-on approach to all of my tutoring methods, regardless of the subject. I want to make learning fun and take the stress out of tackling a challenging subject. I attempt to make any subject relatable to the student I am tutoring, and to provide multiple examples that are easy to understand. I break down seemingly complicated processes into simple and easy to remember steps. My name is Jessica Grilli and I am currently a student of the University of California at Davis. I am majoring in English and minoring in Sociology and Education, as my future goal is to become a high school English teacher. I have seven years of experience tutoring students of all ages from elementary school to college level. I am great with kids, having grown up with seven brothers and sisters, and I have a passion for education. My areas of expertise are tutoring in critical reading and writing

Rajashree S. - Fremont, CA 94539 (13.6 mi) - ACT Tutor - $60.00/hr.
According to me, the most efficient way a student can learn is by focused preparation and constant practice. I reinforce the concepts learnt at the end of each session & give lots of practice problems. Periodic quizzes & assessment tests will be there to make sure the student is comfortable & confident on the topics taught before moving on. "Timed" practice tests for SAT & ACT students, to mimic the actual tests. I'm an experienced tutor specializing in Chemistry and Mathematics at the high school and college levels. I earned my PhD in Chemistry from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Chennai. I was a postdoctoral fellow at Clemson University, SC, and have several year's experience in the pharmaceutical industry as a Scientist and continue to help students in learning concepts in chemistry. I consider myself an expert problem solver, and can help my students to improve their prob

I have worked with students in Math and Science for the past 18 years. I love to make difficult concepts come alive to the student. I like to work from concrete examples towards abstract concepts.

Janae K. - Salinas, CA 93901 (43.4 mi) - ACT Tutor - $45.00/hr.
I hate lecturing! I do! This is why my tutoring style is very interactive. I don't like talking AT a person, I prefer to have a conversation. My goal as a tutor is to make subjects interesting, and also to make sure they stick- so you can do well on exams. I also teach study skills in every session, so ideally you won't have to rely on me forever. I try to give students tools that they can use to teach them how to teach themselves- something they'll have to do if they're considering college. I have worked as a tutor for 10 years in all subjects, especially focusing on ESL learners. Recently, I have worked in an ESL school (FLS International) with university age students seeking to matriculate into American Universities. Before that, I worked in South Korea teaching English. While employed at these schools, I also work part-time as a tutor- mostly for middle and high school age st

Padraig M - Santa Clara, CA 95050 (4.1 mi) - ACT Tutor - $46.00/hr.
As a graduate student at UC Berkeley, I was a TA for twelve semesters in a range of physics classes. In 2002 I won the UC Berkeley Outstanding Graduate Student Instructor award. After graduating I was a lecturer for 2 years at 50% time. This was at California College of the Arts in San Francisco. There I developed and taught new coursed in math, physics and programming that were fine tuned for the needs of the architecture students. I can make complete sets of student evaluations available to you on request --- they are very favorable. I spent many office hours working one-on-one with the weaker students, and so I have considerable tutoring experience. As a classroom instructor, I am conscious that one needs to constantly engage with and interact with the class. I always taught in a tutorial style, where after I've introduced the material the students must solve a puzzle or problem based

Rachel H - Santa Clara, CA 95050 (4.9 mi) - ACT Tutor - $47.50/hr.
I am a recent graduate from Santa Clara University with a double degree in Economics and Finance. I worked for three years at Stanford University with the Foundation for Education (F4ED) tutoring advanced elementary students in applied mathematical concepts. I am currently working as a research analyst for the Aspen Network of Development Entrepreneurs (A.N.D.E.) as well as co-writing a paper on applied financial concepts with a professor from Santa Clara University. I enjoy teaching students of all ages. I believe the best way for students to learn is by asking questions. I encourage students to think outside the box and ask as many questions during each session. In addition I feel that students learn best when they are able to apply a recently learned concept to a more challenging or different problem. I believe that every student can surpass expectations and reach their full pot

Travis B - Fremont, CA 94538 (13.1 mi) - ACT Tutor - $50.00/hr.
I've aided ESL students, native Japanese students, K-12 students, as well as college students. Even when I tutor groups, I mold my questions and instructions to each student to try and tailor instruction to his or her personal learning style. I offer a broad background of teaching experience and a strong understanding of science and mathematics. I try to maintain a fun environment, encouraging student participation while ensuring that the main concepts our understood. As a tutor I try to complement the instructions of the teacher by offering a broader understanding of the topic or new methods to approach the same answers. Tutoring and helping others has always been a big part of who I am, and recently I have not been able to fulfil that part of my life. I'm a graduate with a BS in Mechanical Engineering, but I spent a significant portion of time earning the equivalent of a minor in

Michael S - Foster City, CA 94404 (17.8 mi) - ACT Tutor - $47.00/hr.
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. 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.
