I like to get to know my students so that we can focus only exactly what you need to improve as quickly as possible.

Benjamin J - Napa, CA 94558 (12.3 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $41.50/hr.
I try to foster independent learners. If the pupil is perpetually dependent on the teacher, then nothing is gained- money and efforts are wasted. My techniques push students to acquire the skills and tools they need on their own. Everyone can aspire to this level of sucess if they try. I look forward to making a difference in your life, with your help. I have a diverse field of experience. I received a dual B.A. in Linguistics and Anthropology in 2006. This allows me to understand language tutoring at a deeper level than most tutors. This foundation has been augmented by 5 years of teaching experience in ESOL, History, Academic Writing, and Professional interview training which I have conducted all over the world. In 2009, I received my MA in applied linguistics. This degree worked as a capstone to perfect my teaching style in regards to ESL.

Dave K - San Rafeal, CA 94903 (14.6 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $47.00/hr.
"No one will care what you know until they know that you care." I have great enthusiasm and passion for teaching and I make great connections with students. I know all people are capable of change and growth. I strive to help create life-long learners who are motivated to grow. My instruction and coaching techniques are very user friendly, and have been very successful for high academic achievers as well as students who struggle with academics and are very resistant to anything that has to do with school. As a high school teacher for 13 years, I have had a profound impact on the academic and personal success of a great majority of my students. I have won many "inspirational teacher awards" and have been identified by many of my students as the teacher most responsible for their success. They have said that I have made learning interesting, fun, and rewarding for them because I have

Karen R - El Sobrante, CA 94803 (22.3 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $45.50/hr.
My doctoral dissertation examined college-level remedial reading and writing students in an effort to determine if adding online instruction to traditional instruction would improve student performance. My dissertation explored five hypotheses, and I found statistical significance in all five; thereby supporting the notion that adding online instruction to traditional instruction can improve student learning. While I was a doctoral student, I was also a Merit Scholar. In addition to my teaching, I have also tutored elementary, high school, and college students in reading, writing, and the understanding of Literature. I have also worked a great deal with ESL students. My love of teaching is stimulated most when working with students who require the most assistance. Through my study in Educational Psychology, I have learned that all students have their own learning styles; I am able to qui

Steven D - Richmond, CA 94805 (23.2 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $62.50/hr.
As a ski instructor, I've worked with children aged 3 - 12. Parents frequently praised my patience and ability to remain a calm, controlled and enthusiastic teacher. I believe in maintaining open lines of communication and that a good teacher must always remain receptive to his student's needs and interests. Students should have an interest in the subject and learning should follow from their character. Often times, we are overwhelmed by the expectations put upon us and we need only see our accomplishments within a perspective that incorporates our progress since we've begun. Throughout my education at UCLA, I took an avid and broad interest in all subjects, and finally chose to complement a degree in International Development with a smattering of engineering physics and multi-variable calculus. My work and extra-curricular experience has been broad and challenging. I've researched crime

Nahrain A - Berkeley, CA 94704 (28 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $47.50/hr.
I am working toward teaching at the university level and have, of course in the process, taught students at the university level in literature and Arabic. But I enjoy tutoring and teaching students at a variety of levels because the different levels require different creativity and different techniques that create an ability to think on one's toes that feeds the classroom energy and enthusiasm. I honestly believe that creativity is the guiding means of teaching techniques, resources, and assignments. All students require different things and creativity allows for an agility and flexibility that works with different students and keeps the teaching dialogue sustainable. This creativity is of course contingent on lesson plans, subject knowledge, and an array of resources.

Douglas W - San Francisco, CA 94115 (28.9 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $44.00/hr.
I left the business world in 1999 to make good on my goal of completing my degree and teaching. I wanted the strongest foundation possible, so I chose General Studies, sometimes known as "Humanities." Since getting my first credential in 2002, I have taught in a wide variety of classroom settings, including having my own classroom for both Elementary and Middle School. I have taught as a substitute and permanent teacher in Special Education classrooms. I have taught Math, Science and Language Arts. I like teaching. I like teaching individuals. I enjoy the challenge of adapting my style and my information to the unique set of skills and experiences that each individual brings along with them. No two people are alike. So I try not to teach each student as if she is just like the last guy. What is called the "Affective Filter" is what I deal with most: that is the part of each student that

Malcolm R - San Francisco, CA 94122 (29.4 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $41.50/hr.
My first tutoring experience actually began when I was a high school senior and tutored ESL students at South High School. Since then I have worked in a summer program tutoring elementary ESL students, gone on to graduate with degrees in English and Environmental Studies, and most recently, worked as an Americorps member at Andersen Elementary and Open in Minneapolis. My primary role at Andersen was tutoring elementary students (mostly 5th grade) in math and reading. I also have some experience in teaching ecology at a couple of environmental learning centers. Although my degrees are in English and Environmental Studies, I am also quite comfortable with math up through the 8th grade level. I think one of my greatest strengths as a tutor is my patience with students. I am very attentive to the frustrations that students sometimes undergo and I continue to work with students until they und

Young P - Orinda, CA 94563 (29.8 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $48.00/hr.
I earned my BS in computer science from Washington University. I have prepared three high school students for the SAT. They ended up at Cornell, American, and UCSD. I have also prepared two middle school students for the SSAT. I have taught JAVA and English to high school students as well. I possess strong writing skills. I recognize good writing. I can improve a student's writing style and grammar. As everyone else touts, I can also relate to young adults. My method is simple and effective. I solve problems with my students. As I solve problems I explain the underlying concept/strategy/trick behind the problem. After explaining all the concepts my students and I go through as many problems as possible. I tweak their approach, and if necessary explain again the necessary concept. There is a lot of drilling involved. I assign very small homework assignments so that we do not

Lynda V - Vacaville, CA 95688 (30.7 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $41.50/hr.
As a goal oriented educator, I demonstrate to my students my enthusiasm for the subject matter. I am a commanding, authoritative presence, but never dictatorial. I use lots of energy and display a good sense of humor. I am respectful and never employ the use of negativity or sarcasm. I have been complimented many times by parents, teachers, and administrators on my method of establishing a rapport with my students. I maintain high expectations and aspirations for each of my students. I expect them to be engaged and active participants in the learning process. I possess a Bachelor of Arts degree and have been employed as a private tutor and as a substitute teacher. I am able to work with a wide variety of students. I have been employed with the Travis, Fairfield-Suisun, and Vacaville Unified School Districts. I have assisted students who were experiencing difficulty at the elemen
