Law Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in San Jose, CA

I have years of experience teaching and tutoring English as a second language, both in the U.S. and overseas. My students have included high school students, community college students, university and postgraduate students, and working professionals of all ages. I have taught speakers of Spanish, Portuguese, Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Thai, Arabic, Farsi and Turkish. I am also an experienced tutor in law, having taught both law and paralegal students in substantive law, legal writing, test taking skills, and LSAT preparation. I also work with business students who are taking business law and business ethics classes. I adapt my style to your individual needs. Some students prefer to use a textbook, but with others I will provide appropriate study materials. I like to get to know my students so that we can focus only exactly what you need to improve as quickly as possible.

Extensive experience as both a college adjunct (at 6 different universities) as well as a tutor for various courses, with particular skill assisting students in overcoming exam-related stress and learning blocks. My experience includes teaching children (8 years old and above), as well as diverse college students, including student-athletes, and those with a learning disability/hearing disability. I hold three graduates degrees--it's fair to say that I am a life-long learner, which I try to instill in others. Depending on the course and student, I vary my teaching style from the Socratic Method (with a lot of questions and answers between the student and me), as well as utilizing real world examples to reinforce concepts. Finally, I strive to move from the basics of a concept, to intermediate types of problems, and build to advanced level. By doing so, I focus on the student's increa

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

An accounting/ auditing professinal with nearly 9 years of combined accounting/auditing experience in India/USA,that really helped me to gain adequate knowledge in the above field of study by working for a public accounting firm/Industry.But I had always wanted to teach kids (as a mother of two kids) and feel that this opportunity would help me achieve what I had wanted to do.

Teaching 5-10 years of college level organic chemistry, physical chemistry, inorganic chemistry, biology, biochemistry, and intro chemistry. Also, I've served as a full time lab assistant. I've had extensive experience in both designing exams, lecturing, tutoring, and providing special assistance to students. As an attorney, I have always been driven to achieve high levels of excellence in my field. Over the last 20 years I have practiced as a patent attorney in the chemical and biotechnology legal areas. My training and experience uniquely combine both high level grammatical skills as well as skills in the sciences. Easy going, supportive, hard working, direct, open, and encouraging. My style is to find real world experiences to provide examples for learning. This approach stimulates students to actually enjoy chemistry instead of thinking of it as something difficult or unint

As a student at Sonoma State University I spent a semester being a teachers assistant and then was hired in the outreach office. For three years I worked as a college rep for the university. I went around and spoke to students at high schools and attended college fairs at both high schools and community college. When schools came to visit the university I assisted with giving them a tour of the campus as well as an admissiona and records presentation. I am very familar with the CSU system as a whole. My teaching style is to find how the students connect to the material and tie that into the material so that the student finds ways to remember the information in their own way. I also like to find fun ways to present the information so that it is not all lecturing but interaction between me and the student. I feel and believe that if you can teach the material to someone else than you know

I take the approach that guided problem solving provides the optimal learning experience, as most students learn best by doing with explanation provided all along the way. I tailor this approach to the learning style of the student, whether it is auditory, visual, or kinesthetic. I am very friendly and patient. I believe in adding value to the education through application of the learned skills to real world problems of interest to the student. This prevents boredom and allows them to be engaged in the process. More than 5 years experience tutoring High School and College students in quantitative reasoning and technical skills. Sound understanding of theoretical and applied mathematical and statistical models heavily used in commerce, industry, government, scientific, non-profit, and academic settings.

Having been fortunate enough to have a number of extremely high-caliber teachers, I have learned that in order to teach one must be willing to learn; to learn not just the curriculum to be taught, but to learn about, and from, the pupil. From the 5th grade level all the way up through degreed professionals, I have made it a point to be a student of my students; to engage them in a manner that shows that I understand and care about their needs, and to help them feel that they are an integral part of their own learning process, as well as mine. Each day there is an opportunity to impart knowledge, and to garner it. I also find that a strong sense of humor and humility goes a long way in making the process of education personal. The goal is never separate from the individual. I started Bucknell as an Education Major, and then switched to English Literature. I spent one semester as a te

I believe that education and learning are two of the most exciting and fulfilling elements of life and believe that helping others to learn is a way to give something back to this world. I have a Masters degree in Business. Not surprisingly, my math skills are quite good. Additionally, I possess strong communication skills (verbal and written) and am working on my first novel. In my professional life, I have managed staff and welcomed opportunities to teach and mentor. An intern from years ago recently contacted me and told me that he still fondly remembers us working on a white board to problem solve an issue. I believe that learning and problem solving should be fun, a puzzle that can be cracked if we just approach it the right way. I love the learning process. Few things in life are as rewarding as teaching and learning. Stylistically, I would consider myself to a patient and passio

I have worked for a software company training customers, clients and employees on the applications. I have also participated in Junior Achievement and have been very active in my son's school and the community. I am on 5 executive boards, ranging from PTA to a library foundation, and I also chair our annual Halloween festival at school. I have a degree in Accounting and Strategic Management with a minor in Economics, but have spent the last 2 years building websites for small businesses and local non-profits. I tend to work with the students to help them decipher the answer to a question, rather than give the answer directly. I believe that examples and samples of problems help students understand the problem. And I want to be a resource, not a crutch, to helping students achieve success.

Students learn best when they feel vested in the process of learning and excited about the journey; it is always my goal to convey my passion for the learning experience and my partnership with the student in that process. I am a firm believer in active learning and thus avoid rote memorization exercises and merely showing students how to do something. I help them to wrestle with the materials, to look at concepts from every possible angle, and to learn the importance of synthesizing information and determining what is wheat and what is chaff. I am patient and friendly with my students, but my focus is always on preparing them as learners. As a teacher and tutor for over 27 years, I have had the pleasure of helping students explore their potential, find their passion, and excel in their learning experiences.
