Mihir K. - Santa Clara, CA 95050 (32.2 mi) - PSAT Tutor - $92.50/hr.
I really pride myself in personalizing my tutoring. I try to never have more than 6-7 students at a time so that I can provide the best possible personalization of teaching to each student. Additionally, being at a similar age to many of my students helps me relate to them a lot better than some older tutors may be able to; I have more recent experience with taking the same courses/tests as them or applying to colleges like them, and this helps a lot in my tutoring personalization.
In terms of my teaching style, I love being able to connect with students beyond the structured environment of most classrooms and tutoring/prep academies. I try to provide my students with just enough structure so that they know how to study, how to test, etc., but enough autonomy so that they can learn how to succeed on their own.
Helping students navigate this fine line is really meaningful, as many

Maria V - Watsonville, CA 95076 (7.3 mi) - PSAT Tutor - $47.50/hr.
I’ve always been a very driven, committed, and passionate student to excel in education. At the University of California, Davis I have earned two bachelor degrees, BA in International Relations and BA in Spanish, with a minor in Chicana/o Studies which has enabled me to gain an understanding in many areas of social studies, cultural anthropology, and language. I have learned extensive grammatical skills due to writing research papers, along with essays in many various areas of study. During the last 2 years I have tutored students in English, the arts, Spanish, elementary math, and world cultures. I care about students and I love helping them develop skills that will benefit them in the future. I believe in recognizing that each child is an individual and that each child learns at his/her own pace. I am extremely patient, easy going, considerate, flexible, punctual, and organized. My r

Brian P - Marina, CA 93933 (8.3 mi) - PSAT Tutor - $45.00/hr.
I strongly believe that a successful tutor/teacher must know how to recognize students' individual learning styles and capitalize on their strengths. With all of my students, I make every effort to create a positive learning environment and to build their self-confidence. I have tutored many intelligent students who have developed mental blocks in relation to certain subjects as a result of receiving consistently negative feedback. By maintaining a learning environment that students finds agreeable, manageable, and challenging all at the same time, I am able to achieve success and make the learning experience rewarding for them. What interested me in a pursuing a teaching career was the tutoring experience I gained in high school and college. I started tutoring high school students in basic mathematics and science, and in college I was able to broaden my tutoring base to Spanish and Eng

Mary S - Salinas, CA 93906 (9.5 mi) - PSAT Tutor - $46.50/hr.
Teaching can be a most wonderful adventure. I believe every child can learn. At times students or overwhelming with new concepts, and they need to be encouraged, and praise until they can accomplish the task at hand. I enjoy seeing the appearence of awareness on a childs face, when they have accomplished a goal, or solved a problem they had difficulty solving. I believe tutoring a child can be a powerful tool, and it can also unleash a potential genius. As a graduate, I've been very blessed to have received a degree in Business Communication. In college I learned how to become a better educator, and communicate with them on the highest level. Although, I tutor in all of the academic areas, I also enjoy helping my student appreciate the art of becoming a good writer, and thinkers. My students are also encouraged to read for relaxation, and entertainment. Making the education process fun i

Kelly S - Carmel, CA 93923 (17.6 mi) - PSAT Tutor - $47.00/hr.
After earning my BA and CA Teaching Credential in English, my love for the language and subject drove me to complete my MA in English and Comparative Literature in less than two years. Such an intense program demanded that I not only be highly organized, but that my analytical, writing, and verbal skills be immensely effective, as well. Consequently, I successfully translated these abilities to the many students I have taught and tutored over the past six years. Although I have instructed students in all the humanities (even basic French), my expertise is in English composition (essay writing) and the development of critical thinking skills regarding English literature. My former high school students used to tell me how much they appreciated my patience with them; modestly, I would have to agree with their assessment. I believe that individuals process information in different ways, and

Nancy R - San Jose, CA 95119 (24 mi) - PSAT Tutor - $52.00/hr.
I work as a partner with the student and their parents, tailoring each tutoring program to the student's needs. I especially enjoy helping high school students excel in Math. One of my recent tutoring students went from receiving an F on Algebra2 exams to receiving a B, after only 2 weeks of tutoring! I'd love to help your student improve their results in Math class, and prepare themselves for a successful college career. I'm also available to tutor in SAT preparation, computer subjects and French. I have an M.S. in Computer Engineering, an extensive background in Mathematics, and worked for many years as an engineer in Silicon Valley companies. I thoroughly enjoyed school and excelled at test-taking, which I know is an area of anxiety and difficulty for many students. I believe that students will have the best possible future lives if they have the best possible education. I help st

Erin T - Los Gatos, CA 95032 (27.1 mi) - PSAT Tutor - $44.00/hr.
Because of the opportunities education provides, it has always been a high priority in my life. I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Applied Mathematics, which has equipped me with a thorough understanding of many different areas of math. Furthermore, I have played the clarinet for fourteen years, and taken private lessons and played in the university Wind Ensemble throughout college. I have tutored many students from elementary school through college for five years, in subjects from private clarinet lessons to Algebra to Statistics. Every student went away with positive results: higher grades, admittance into a higher band, or understanding of a subject. Math is an especially intimidating subject to many, but learning at an individual pace is often the only barrier to complete understanding. I am patient, and willing and able to explain the workings of different concepts that cannot b

Teresa G - San Jose, CA 95125 (28.6 mi) - PSAT Tutor - $46.50/hr.
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.

Douglas S - Santa Clara, CA 95050 (31.9 mi) - PSAT Tutor - $45.50/hr.
I believe that each student should learn to be in charge of their own education. My goal is to help them achieve that goal. I am not quick to jump in with the answer but can wait patiently for them to work through the problem. Since I learned by a very different method than my teachers tried to teach, I look for a students learning style. If he is not getting the concept, I'll try another or even invent one on the spot. It is such a joy to see the light come on in a student's eyes. I love working with students. One on one is even better than teaching groups of thirty in my book. I also worked ten years as a Physical Chemist where I had to know Math and Physics as much as Chemistry. I have taught Math, Physics, Biology in addition to Chemistry, and tutored in all these areas. I also graded essays for the state of Georgia and so I could sharpen any students essay skills. I have

Daniel K - san jose, CA 95132 (33.6 mi) - PSAT Tutor - $44.50/hr.
Initially depending on the subject I utilize my own constructed 'initiation exam' where I'm able to test various topics of either subject and find the student's weakeness. Once taken I construct my own style of tutoring using various books, personal references, and previous assignments I've done throughout my educational career to train the students to become more knowledgeable on the subjects required. I'm not very apt in using one book, and going through it but I feel the more prepared the teacher is for the session, the more the student will learn. I am offering English Tutoring Sessions and recently graduated from the University of California San Diego. I majored in Biochemistry and have tutored English for over 5 years. I have received an A in every English course since elementary school and was in GATE since I was 7 years old. I took English/AP honors throughout High School and rec

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 with learning.

I have been published in English and Spanish, and provided workplace communication training at Sun Microsystems, Boston Scientific, Affymax, the Gap and National Semiconductor.

I taught Arithematic, Numbers theory, Pre- Algebra, Algebra, Geometry, Pre-Calculus, Calculus, English, Hindi, and Gujarati. Through my teaching experience, I have become keenly aware of my strengths in teaching: motivating students using various methods, conveying my strong content knowledge, crafting instructional activities to best fit the needs of students, and accommodating for all students' individual differences. My tutoring style is described as follows:
1) I encourage learning by doing
2) I encourage learning by thinking: By interpreting ideas, sythesizing and analysing them and by critical revision of those ideas
3) I encourage students to reflect on their learning
4) I give precise instructions to my students:
