Jessica G. - Mountain View, CA 94041 (7.3 mi) - ACT Tutor - $42.50/hr.
I tend to have a hands-on approach to all of my tutoring methods, regardless of the subject. I want to make learning fun and take the stress out of tackling a challenging subject. I attempt to make any subject relatable to the student I am tutoring, and to provide multiple examples that are easy to understand. I break down seemingly complicated processes into simple and easy to remember steps. My name is Jessica Grilli and I am currently a student of the University of California at Davis. I am majoring in English and minoring in Sociology and Education, as my future goal is to become a high school English teacher. I have seven years of experience tutoring students of all ages from elementary school to college level.

Michael S - Foster City, CA 94404 (6.7 mi) - ACT 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.

Ron B - Half Moon Bay, CA 94019 (10.9 mi) - ACT Tutor - $48.00/hr.
I started Bucknell as an Education Major, and then switched to English Literature. I spent one semester as a teaching assistant, and worked as a student literary journal editor. I won two poetry prizes, one given by my student peers, and one by the English faculty. Post-college I entered law school at Tulane. I practiced law for 20 some years. In those years I taught CLE classes for attorneys, as well as in-house sessions for employees of a firm for whom I was General Counsel. After Katrina my legal career was greatly attenuated, and I supplemented my income by tutoring LSAT preparation, and by writing and editing for an SEO company. I am adept at standardized test taking, scoring in the 98th percentile on the LSAT. Due to the economic climate in New Orleans, I moved to California in December of 2008, and am currently working as a substitute teacher. Having been fortunate enough

Travis B - Fremont, CA 94538 (11.6 mi) - ACT Tutor - $50.00/hr.
I've aided ESL students, native Japanese students, K-12 students, as well as college students. Even when I tutor groups, I mold my questions and instructions to each student to try and tailor instruction to his or her personal learning style. I offer a broad background of teaching experience and a strong understanding of science and mathematics. I try to maintain a fun environment, encouraging student participation while ensuring that the main concepts our understood. As a tutor I try to complement the instructions of the teacher by offering a broader understanding of the topic or new methods to approach the same answers. Tutoring and helping others has always been a big part of who I am, and recently I have not been able to fulfil that part of my life. I'm a graduate with a BS in Mechanical Engineering, but I spent a significant portion of time earning the equivalent of a minor in

Padraig M - Santa Clara, CA 95050 (13.8 mi) - ACT Tutor - $46.00/hr.
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 on it. I believe that to engage students there must be a discovery component to the class.
In a tutoring role, one can take the students strengths and build on those. Often a student has lost all confidence (and hope!) and doesn't realize how much he or she knows. By patiently building from simple problems this confidence can be restored. 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
