LeAnn R. - Menlo Park, CA 94025 (7.6 mi) - PSAT Tutor - $30.00/hr.
Not all students are successful and the trick is to identify the reasons behind the lack of success. The issues that students have with school are diverse; procrastination, lack of organization, failure to plan, lack of awareness, ineffective habits, learning disabilities, and differences are all possible explanations for school failure. I work with students one on one to help them pinpoint where things break down for them and then work with them to find strategies to help them manage the skills and material they are asked to learn and master. I am there to guide, not just instruct. I have been in education for 16 years. I specialize in working with students with ADD/ADHD, specific learning disabilities as well as students who underachieve. I have a Master's Degree in Special Education and have successfully worked with students all over the Bay Area to help them realize their full p

"A teacher is one who makes himself progressively unnecessary"
I think that this quote about teaching, in a way, reflects my idea on what teaching is all about. One can be a good teacher, whose characteristics encompass good knowledge of the subject matter, understanding the needs of your students, and the ability to apply this knowledge to students' needs. However, an effective teacher does not only pass knowledge on to her students, but makes herself gradually unnecessary: her learners become independent learners as they progress through a course. As a teacher, I always try to be effective in this sense - I foster independence in my students. At the same time, I strive for excellence which will eventually make me a better teacher. This endeavor caused me to reflect on how an excellent teacher is different from a good teacher. The conclusion I have come to is that a gap between a g

lynn z. - Berkeley, CA 94705 (21.6 mi) - PSAT Tutor - $40.00/hr.
I have spent many years helping people prepare for the Verbal SATs ... I am an English major and teacher of the language ( critical thinking and reading, composition, grammar and word studies etc.). I believe learning should always be engaging and meaningful. It is critical to address individual student learning modalities and needs so the student can experience great success. I have always been a teacher of best practices, meaning incorporating those strategies and methodologies which are the most effective. They work because they promote high student investment and engagement. I have been a dynamic, successful elementary, middle and high school teacher as well as college instructor of Art, English, French and History for many years. I also taught in a two way language immersion school ( English and Spanish) for six years so I can teach Beginning and Intermediate levels of Spanish. Whil

I have been successfully tutoring for over 10 years. I have helped students transform their grades from F's to A's.

Hannah B - Fremont, CA 94538 (4.6 mi) - PSAT Tutor - $44.50/hr.
My passion is helping students achieve their highest individual potential in school. I believe if every student were given and Individualized Education Program, our students would accomplish much more in school. I believe when learning is fun, students accomplish more. I spend a little more time on the front end finding out what a student enjoys outside of the classroom to make learning relevant and FUN! I believe every student can learn and every student deserves a chance. As an entrepreneur and lover of the arts, I am passionate about helping students learn using their natural gifts and talents. My background in Special Education has equipped me to work with every student to find and utilize their own individual strengths. Combining my training in Psychology and Special Education, I equip students with the self-efficacy skills needed to be successful both in and out of the classroom. I

Shannon E - Palo Alto, CA 94306 (7.5 mi) - PSAT Tutor - $44.00/hr.
I believe that every student has a unique learning style and that it is my job as a teacher or tutor to discover which instructional methods work best for each particular student. I have a naturally patient and supportive demeanor and work hard to build rapport with students so that they will feel comfortable engaging in the risk-taking that is necessary for learning to take place. I emphasize the teaching of reading and writing strategies that students can take with them and use in future assignments, which helps to increase students' feelings of confidence as readers and writers. After graduating cum laude from the University of Oregon with a B.A. in English, I earned an M.A. in the Teaching of English from Stanford University along with a Single Subject Credential in English/Language Arts. I have taught English at the middle and high school level at high-achieving public schools in va

Regina W - Milpitas, CA 95035 (8.2 mi) - PSAT Tutor - $49.50/hr.
My years of experience teaching my younger brother who has mild ADHD has shown me that every student has their own unique way of learning. Hence, I will strive to find the best method that suites your child. Having the experience of tutoring at UC Berkeley, I'm trained to be able to break down challenging concepts into ones more understandable to the general audience. I am an extremely approachable and friendly person who aims to make mathematics more fun and understandable for younger students. As a recent UC Berkeley graduate who double majored in both Statistics and Applied Mathematics, I have a strong background in both these subjects. In addition, I have had quite a bit of teaching experience during my college years. For 2 semesters I served as an undergraduate student instructor for a statistics course at UC Berkeley. For another 2 semesters I taught a student-run course aimed at p

Michael S - Foster City, CA 94404 (9.5 mi) - PSAT 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.

David L - Santa Clara, CA 95054 (10 mi) - PSAT Tutor - $49.00/hr.
I know of few things that compare to the moment a concept or idea clicks in a student's head. Regardless if it registers with a knowing nod or is the result of a difficult grinding process, the feeling for me is the same. I firmly believe that no two children think in exactly the same way, and so often no two children learn in exactly the same way. Differences in persepective, experience, environment, etc. mean paths to discovery may differ for each child. My job as an educator is to find that path through patience, compassion and creativity, all while creating an enjoyable learning environment. Since high school I have always been in a postion as a mentor and tutor. One of my first experiences was as a camp counselor for inner-city youth. Since then my affinity for teaching has grown while serving as a Bible study teacher and private tutor, to the position I now have as Assistant Direct
