Matthew M - Gilroy, CA 95020 (13.8 mi) - Entrance Exams Tutor - $46.50/hr.
Over my years of experience providing supplemental instruction to a diverse range of students, I have found that I possess a breadth of knowledge and interpersonal skill-sets that make me an effective teacher. I teach from the understanding that every student has a unique educational experience and that there is no one way to effectively get your point across. Utilizing patience, compassion, as well as a heightened sense of cultural literacy, I am able to help students grasp lessons and objectives that had been previously intangible. I believe that educators hold a great responsibility to their students, and take pride in the accomplishments realized by my students. Throughout the course of my education, I have had the opportunity to work with many great instructors and professors; learning the qualities and characteristics of what comprises an effective teacher. I currently possess two

Brian P - Marina, CA 93933 (18.7 mi) - Entrance Exams 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 (20.7 mi) - Entrance Exams 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

J Percival B. - Sunnyvale, CA 94087 (21.9 mi) - Entrance Exams Tutor - $49.50/hr.
I pursued a a high level of excellence in education. My BS degree in Biology/Mathematics and an MBA degree in Human Resources/Marketing contributed much to my extensive grammatical skills; writing research papers, laboratory reports, along with writing and editing essays in many various areas of study. During the last ten years I have tutored students in English, Spanish, Pilipino, mathematics, sciences, and business management. I love teaching and working with all children. I believe all children can learn and achieve excellence in whatever they put their hearts into. I can help your child achieve academic success and pursue any field he decided to attain.

Alexandra K - San Jose, CA 95131 (22.8 mi) - Entrance Exams Tutor - $44.50/hr.
I am a parent to a four year old and a twenty year old stepson, so my teaching and parenting is one filled with patience, toughness but fairness, and lots of humor. I believe that children should talk respectfully, grammatically correct [Student: “Can I go to the bathroom?” Myself: “Well, I don’t know. Do you know how to?’ Student: “I mean, may I go to the bathroom?” Myself: “Yes, of course you may go the bathroom”], and should treat each other with respect too. It’s not easy, and it’s more of a battle some days than others. I have students who feel that they can do whatever they want to, on their own time. I teach that with the privileges comes the work, there is no easy way around it [I work with high 6th graders and 7th graders]. I have worked for over five years with elementary and middle school-aged students; I have also worked with People with Disabilities. I love working with chil

Chelsea P - Monterey, CA 95940 (25.1 mi) - Entrance Exams Tutor - $48.50/hr.
In High School I discovered that not only was I skilled in math and science, but that I was effective in tutoring other students in these subjects. I started professionally tutoring students younger than me when I was a junior and continued until I graduated college. I successfully tutored students in Algebra, Geometry/Trig, Algebra 2, Pre-Calc, Chemistry, Physics, Biology, and SAT Prep.
I have taught swimming and been a lifeguard through American Red Cross since I was 16, and in 2007 decided to take the next step and become an instructor for them. I now teach CPR/First Aid, and Lifeguard Training for different facilities in the area. I feel that my largest teaching strength is the ability to identify where students are having problems and address those issues first. If students don't understand the fundamentals, it is impossible to teach them advanced concepts. In addition to this

Kelly S - Carmel, CA 93923 (26.2 mi) - Entrance Exams 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

Shannon E - Palo Alto, CA 94306 (28.1 mi) - Entrance Exams 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

Webster L - East Palo Alto, CA 94303 (30.5 mi) - Entrance Exams Tutor - $48.50/hr.
The one thing I love about tutoring is helping someone, who is struggling, succeed. I've worked with students from diverse backgrounds ranging from middle school students, college athletes and graduate students. I'm am patient and considerate. As far as my tutoring style, I like to guided my students and teach through experience. For example, having the student work through problems step by step make sure they know how to solve problems and also understand the overall concepts. In addition, I promote good study habits and show students how to prepare for exams within a particular subject. I'm very good at simplifying complex concepts. I earned my Bachelors of Science in Psychology with minors in Chemistry and Biological Science at San Jose State University. As an undergraduate, I was an honors student. I'm a Psi Chi, the international honor society in Psychology, inductee, regional resea

Michael S - Foster City, CA 94404 (37.7 mi) - Entrance Exams Tutor - $47.00/hr.
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. 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.

Kelly A - Livermore, CA 94550 (39.9 mi) - Entrance Exams Tutor - $44.50/hr.
Most recently, I was engaged in research and writing of my dissertation. I worked at a local High school for three years teaching inner-city Hispanic youth. I was the primary special education teacher for all students grades 9-12. During this time I was also a graduate assistant, co-teaching with professors and supervising graduate students during their internships in local schools. For the past two years I have been working with Riverside Publishing. With Riverside Publishing I normed the WJC IV Test of Achievement. In order to account for individual learning styles and engage learners appropriately, my lessons include tasks that incorporated visual, audio, and kinesthetic learning styles. Visual tasks were presented using the whiteboard, computer or manipulatives to list the essential points of a lecture, and students were provided with an outline to follow along with during instructi
