Hello! My name is Mihir Kumar, and I recently graduated from USC under the full-tuition Trustee Scholarship with dual degrees in Human Biology and Economics, and a minor in Mathematical Finance.

Many of my students have improved their SAT and ACT scores by 250-350+ points and 5-8+ points, respectively, too. Having experience with the internal workings of the USC admissions process, I also provide college admissions assistance and have assisted many students in earning adm ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I was featured in an article in the San Jose Mercury News because of the hands-on approach I take to addressing my students' learning needs. I customize my teaching materials to each individual and use a wide variety of techniques to address different learning styles. I keep instruction varied and lively, using visual aids, music and interactive activities to involved students in the learning process. When students master skills and knowledge, it empowers them and opens their horizons to new challenges. That is what I love most about teaching.
I have tutored a wide variety of students for 14 years, ranging from high-level executives and business professionals to students from the elementary to community college level. The reason my students have nominated me for a teaching award is because of the fun, inspiring learning environment I create to build each individual's confidence w ... read more

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 potential if they are learning in an appropriate atmosphere. It is important that students learn and master specific concepts before they can advance in their studies. I believe that educators are an integral part of every students' development process and can make a positive impact in each particular student's education.
I am a recent graduate from Santa Clara University with a double degree in Economics and Finance. I worked for three years at Stanford Universit ... read more

I have a MA degree in Spanish and Learning Styles so I just love teaching. My style is relaxed, as I teach a foreign language. I think feeling comfortable is most important when trying to understand a new lang. I also bring various techniques that include technology, short grammar videos, games, short cult'l videos, songs the STUDENT likes, texts from topics that STUDENTS like, and I customize each training session to get my student up to speed and able to understand the given concepts, no matter if it is spanish 1 or 5. I've been proud of my 100% retention of all students that I've tutored because I am helpful, easy going and effective. Looking fwd to taking the fear out learning a language for you one day soon.

For me, it's always been about WHO I work with vs. WHAT I work on. I love building new relationships, having conversations, and watching people grow. The people in my life would say I am one of the most positive, respecting, motivating, & patient individuals they know. I do not believe in condescending or "lecture-style" tutoring. Instead, I put my listening ears on and adjust my approach based on the students' learning needs & methods. I have worked with such a diverse group of people throughout my life (i.e. different ages, backgrounds, styles, etc.) My goal is to help you / your child find success and for the both of us to draw inspiration from learning and accomplishing the tasks at-hand.
We are all lifelong learners. This belief helps me excel at whatever I put my mind to. Growing up, I was a straight-A student, inspired by English, math, & science. In H.S., I received gold ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My style is a creative one with results.I have watched students start coming to school with confidence,prepared to meet teacher expectations instead of arriving fearful,knowing they didn't understand what to do,didn't have the materials to do it,or forgot or lost it.Demystification,respect,and rigor are what I offer my students.Responsibility,respect,and rigor are what I expect.I teach organization and empowerment techniques that give tutoring long-lasting effects, not just short-term results like a passing grade on next week's test. As a businesswoman for over 20 years, I believe in prudent use of resources and measurable results. My students and I will have a plan and will assess and course correct repeatedly on the path to success.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a parent to a four year old and a twenty year old stepson, so my teaching and parenting is one filled with patience, toughness but fairness, and lots of humor. I believe that children should talk respectfully, grammatically correct [Student: “Can I go to the bathroom?” Myself: “Well, I don’t know. Do you know how to?’ Student: “I mean, may I go to the bathroom?” Myself: “Yes, of course you may go the bathroom”], and should treat each other with respect too. It’s not easy, and it’s more of a battle some days than others. I have students who feel that they can do whatever they want to, on their own time. I teach that with the privileges comes the work, there is no easy way around it [I work with high 6th graders and 7th graders].
I have worked for over five years with elementary and middle school-aged students; I have also worked with People with Disabilities. I love working wit ... read more

Through my many years as a student, I have developed numerous, “Student Skills”. These are skills which enable me to get the best possible results for my efforts. I have three children of my own and two of them consistently make honor roll – the third is going to be a “Star” (hey, what are you going to do?) I tell them that the difference between an “A” student and a “C” student has nothing to do with intelligence. Anyone can be an “A” student with motivation and a mastery of student skills. I teach by example. Having been a nurse for many years, I have developed the ability to remain calm under stress. I am VERY patient. I will give as long as is necessary until the student “gets it”.
I recently graduated, Summa cum Laude, with a BS in Biomedical Engineering Technology, having earned a 4.0 GPA. I also hold an AS in Nursing. I love to learn and as such, I have attained mastery in ... read more
