Caring Teacher Available to Tutor

I have taught grades K-9 in regular and special education, and for an independent study program. I began as a substitute teacher in Pasadena. Then I moved to the San Fernando valley where I taught English at a private school and Special ed. students at Los Angeles Unified School District. After that, I taught for an independent study charter school and now I'm substitute teaching.
I always find out what the student needs are and then plan instruction to meet them. I break down goals into smaller objectives and make sure that the student/s know what they are. I give a lot of feedback so that the students know how they are doing and how they can improve. I am very patient, caring, and dedicated to the success of my students.

A Little Bit About Me...

Hello, I'm Varvara and I have 3 years of experience with helping students from elementary to intro college courses succeed in STEM subjects. Since I was a little kid I've loved solving math problems and fiddling around with tech, but even more enjoyable than that was seeing my friends succeed in the subjects I was passionate about. So if you're struggling: let's work together to excel ;)

My comments on tutoring Study Skills : I struggled initially as a student and had to come up with study skills to overcome my handicaps. Since then, I have helped numerous students to improve their skills.

I am Socratic and like to make students think. My education is a classical Old World one and I focus on drilling down to assumptions.
I have lectured in universities around the world from Harvard and MIT to University of Delhi and IIT. I studied Philosophy, Politics and Economics at Oxford on the Radhakrishnan British Chevening Scholarship. I qualified as a lawyer in London and worked for a firm that represents the Queen and the Bank of England. In the US, I did an MBA from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. Currently, I teach a class on Political Economy at the University of California, Berkeley.

Former Elementary Teacher

As a graduate of Cal State University, Long Beach Multiple Subject Teacher Credential program, I was very eager to use what I learned in the program and put my experiences and knowledge obtained through the program into a K-5 classroom setting, home school environment, or tutoring program.I hold a Liberal Studies BA, which has prepared me to teach all core subjects at the elementary level, including print and cursive. During the last seven years I have tutored students from beginning readers to adults, with my speciality being beginning reading/phonics, substitute taught elementary grades, and have taught both Kindergarten and Fourth grades and student taught Second grade.
I teach because I want to help students not only learn but understand what he/she is being taught. It is important as the teacher/tutor to figure out what the students' learning style is. With this knowledge, I ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Besides being a baby sitter for more than a decade (born to a big family with 3 younger siblings), I've tutored children of families in the Inglewood/LA area for more than a year. I also held several tutoring sessions and study groups in for classmates in engineering physic and mathematics. Overall, I have a great grip of aiding students in grasping the topics in a useful and practical manner.
I prefer to give the student room to develop his/her style by addressing topic/subject in a manner that connects with student most effectively.

A Little Bit About Me...

I go by Matt. I have been tutoring for the past 10 years and have had the opportunity to work with a diverse group of students having different skills and skill sets. After years of tutoring it has become clear that the best way to help improve a student's understanding in a subject area is by being able to give them the individualized attention and guidance that they may need. Because I am able to communicate with a diverse array of people and because of my proficiency in teaching the subject matter I intend to teach, I am able to reach out to my students and help them think critically while getting them to become more self-reliant in problem solving. This is partly due to my versatile teaching style as well as my ability to help my students think outside the box, especially as this applies to understanding complex mathematical concepts as well as being able to solve multi-ste ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I prefer one on one tutoring so I can adjust how I tutor to each students needs, but I have also done group tutoring before. All in all, I personally want to work in whatever environment will help the student learn most effectively.
Tutored many students during high school and I am currently a 1st year Chemical Engineering student at University of California, Berkeley. In high school, I tutored AP Chemistry, many levels of math, and many other science courses often. I also worked with younger students in middle school on many of the general subjects.

I enjoy tutoring, both with children and adults. I enjoy being able to take something that people deem as difficult and explain it in a way that they can understand it and apply it like they never did before. I am very patient and friendly and can relate to my students. I am also good at having them relate to the subject, thereby showing them the importance of what they are learning as it pertains to them. I enjoy watching their faces light up as they not only start to understand the material, but gain confidence that they can do more. All of my students have commented that they wish their teachers could have explained concepts the way I have and that they enjoyed my sessions.
Graduating from engineering at Penn State exposed me to a lot of math. It also exposed me to many tutoring opportunities. I tutored many of my fellow students. I was also tutored in other subjects, thus I als ... read more

UCLA English grad; experience teaching both English and Math

Mine is a creative and lively, interactive teaching style, focusing on playing off of children's interests and strengths. I make it a point to get to know the students I work with -- background, education, hobbies and lifestyle.
I majored in English Literature and Writing at UCLA, with a focus on British Pre-Reformation Classics, as well as Shakespeare's 1st and 2nd portfolios. I also won 1st Place in the university's Westwind Writing Competition, taking home top prize for Non-Fiction entry. I have experience working on the school newspaper, The Daily Bruin, and extensive journalism experience. Finally, I co-founded The Writers' Den, a school-based organization dedicated to teaching English and Writing to inner-city students (Compton, Inglewood especially).
