SAT - Math Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in San Jose, CA

Hello! My name is Mihir Kumar, and I recently graduated from USC under the full-tuition Trustee Scholarship with dual degrees in Human Biology and Economics, and a minor in Mathematical Finance. I’ve been tutoring since 2016 and am currently saving up for medical school, so I'm really looking forward to working with new students! Over the past few years, I have tutored over 75 K-12 students in standardized testing (primarily ACT/SAT/PSAT), math (from elementary operations through Calculus), the basic sciences, English, reading, writing, and more totaling over 2500 total hours (both online and in-person). Many of my students have improved their SAT and ACT scores by 250-350+ points and 5-8+ points, respectively, too. Having experience with the internal workings of the USC admissions process, I also provide college admissions assistance and have assisted many students in earning adm

For the last five years, I served as a biological speaker in a teenage association in the community center of my district in China. It was my responsibility to solve the problems that students brought and teach them to connect to the real world. Outside of school campus, I have not only been a group homework helper for some elementary school students, but also an in-person tutor of math, Chinese and visual art.

I present concepts in a variety of ways, such as: "hands on," visually, problem-solving, and inquiry-based. I reinforce the concepts each time we have a session. I tutor with a style that is accepting, positive, and where my student's feel comfortable enough to ask questions and become actively involved. All my students are successful learners who have fun learning! My passion in life is teaching, where I can tutor students on a 1:1 basis!

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

I am good with working with people and am able to accommodate individual levels of education with patience and caring. For students who need basic understanding of arithmetic, I connect complicated concepts with everyday life, and use repetition to form their basic skills. For those who need help in more advanced Mathematics, I introduce theoretical problem solving. For any level, I engage students in the process of solving a problem rather than showing a solution. One of my goals for my students is to give them confidence in solving a problem on their own. I believe that having confidence motivates them to learn more and succeed. I tutor Japanese with repetition and try to create an environment so that they can use Japanese more often. I have earned two bachelor degrees, BS in Applied Mathematics and BS in Biochemistry, and two master degrees, MA in Mathematics and MS in Applied Mathema

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

As a graduate student at UC Berkeley, I was a TA for twelve semesters in a range of physics classes. In 2002 I won the UC Berkeley Outstanding Graduate Student Instructor award. After graduating I was a lecturer for 2 years at 50% time. This was at California College of the Arts in San Francisco. There I developed and taught new coursed in math, physics and programming that were fine tuned for the needs of the architecture students. I can make complete sets of student evaluations available to you on request --- they are very favorable. I spent many office hours working one-on-one with the weaker students, and so I have considerable tutoring experience. As a classroom instructor, I am conscious that one needs to constantly engage with and interact with the class. I always taught in a tutorial style, where after I've introduced the material the students must solve a puzzle or problem based

Every person is unique and the style of instruction to be given to each student must be adequate to the level the student can sustain. I believe all students, children to adult level, are intelligent and will learn the material if the teacher is willing to put in the effort and express a teaching style in which is easy to be understood. With repetition, patience, and willingness to achieve success, a student and a teacher will achieve success. My goal is to stand by the side of every student who is willing to gain knowledge and succeed. As a graduate of the University of California, Merced with a BS in Biological Sciences, emphasis track in Microbiology & Immunology, I mastered the knowledge of how the human systems interact amongst each other at a cellular and organs level in addition to the structure of the body’s fighting mechanisms to defend itself against foreign pathogens.

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
