PSAT Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Ben Lomond, 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

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 potential. 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

"A teacher is one who makes himself progressively unnecessary" I think that this quote about teaching, in a way, reflects my idea on what teaching is all about. One can be a good teacher, whose characteristics encompass good knowledge of the subject matter, understanding the needs of your students, and the ability to apply this knowledge to students' needs. However, an effective teacher does not only pass knowledge on to her students, but makes herself gradually unnecessary: her learners become independent learners as they progress through a course. As a teacher, I always try to be effective in this sense - I foster independence in my students. At the same time, I strive for excellence which will eventually make me a better teacher. This endeavor caused me to reflect on how an excellent teacher is different from a good teacher. The conclusion I have come to is that a gap between a g

My passion in life is teaching, where I can tutor students on a 1:1 basis! My teaching / tutoring experience includes classroom high school teaching, where my specialties were Math, Science, and English. Also, I tutored middle-schoolers in ESL, Social Studies, and Literature. I enjoy tutoring adukt learners on English and Citizenship. And finally, I have taught private piano lessons and music reading. 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!

Math is an especially intimidating subject to many, but learning at an individual pace is often the only barrier to complete understanding. I am patient, and willing and able to explain the workings of different concepts that cannot be covered in a classroom setting, in as many different ways as the student needs. On the other hand, I am mindful of the individual’s learning style and understanding, and will adjust the pace, slower OR faster, to the student. I bring the same mindfulness and attention to the student to private music lessons. I am enthusiastic about both math and music, and about learning in general. I love to offer information and explain, but I most love watching students come to an understanding of their own. Because of the opportunities education provides, it has always been a high priority in my life. I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Applied Mathematics, which ha

I have a MA degree in Spanish and Learning Styles so I just love teaching. My style is relaxed, as I teach a foreign language. I think feeling comfortable is most important when trying to understand a new lang. I also bring various techniques that include technology, short grammar videos, games, short cult'l videos, songs the STUDENT likes, texts from topics that STUDENTS like, and I customize each training session to get my student up to speed and able to understand the given concepts, no matter if it is spanish 1 or 5. I've been proud of my 100% retention of all students that I've tutored because I am helpful, easy going and effective. Looking fwd to taking the fear out learning a language for you one day soon. I have lived in Spain in college and visited in high school. I've traveled to Mexico, Aruba, Spain, and el caribe. I have taught Spanish, technology and beginning French for

I have tutored a wide variety of students for 14 years, ranging from high-level executives and business professionals to students from the elementary to community college level. The reason my students have nominated me for a teaching award is because of the fun, inspiring learning environment I create to build each individual's confidence with learning. My BA degree in Spanish/French is from Santa Clara University and my MA in Teaching English as a Second Language is from San Francisco State University. I have been published in English and Spanish, and provided workplace communication training at Sun Microsystems, Boston Scientific, Affymax, the Gap and National Semiconductor. I was featured in an article in the San Jose Mercury News because of the hands-on approach I take to addressing my students' learning needs.

My tutoring style is described as follows: 1) I encourage learning by doing 2) I encourage learning by thinking: By interpreting ideas, sythesizing and analysing them and by critical revision of those ideas 3) I encourage students to reflect on their learning 4) I give precise instructions to my students: On what students should do, ways and methods for learning, resources they should use for learning. 5) I pack necessary knowledge and transfer it to students in most efficient ways: I prefer to use visual aids, demonstrate practical examples, write resources (summaries,extracts) for my students. To sum up, I would do whatever it takes a tutor to help students learn. Tutoring experience: I started tutoring when I was pursuing Bachelors in Science majoring in Math. I taught a variety of students of age group from 5 to 17. I taught Arithematic, Numbers theory, Pre- Algebra,

I work as a partner with the student and their parents, tailoring each tutoring program to the student's needs. I especially enjoy helping high school students excel in Math. One of my recent tutoring students went from receiving an F on Algebra2 exams to receiving a B, after only 2 weeks of tutoring! I'd love to help your student improve their results in Math class, and prepare themselves for a successful college career. I'm also available to tutor in SAT preparation, computer subjects and French. I have an M.S. in Computer Engineering, an extensive background in Mathematics, and worked for many years as an engineer in Silicon Valley companies. I thoroughly enjoyed school and excelled at test-taking, which I know is an area of anxiety and difficulty for many students. I believe that students will have the best possible future lives if they have the best possible education. I help st

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

I care about students and I love helping them develop skills that will benefit them in the future. I believe in recognizing that each child is an individual and that each child learns at his/her own pace. I am extremely patient, easy going, considerate, flexible, punctual, and organized. My role as an educator is very important, and I take it very seriously, because I want your child to succeed academically. I believe in creating a learning environment of respectful dialogue between the student, parents, and myself. I feel it is important for you to know that I also have experience working with exceptional children and I feel very comfortable doing so. My goal will always be secure that your child receives the best education possible. I’ve always been a very driven, committed, and passionate student to excel in education.

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 Director of our church's English Ministry. In addition to supervising the teaching staff I am the primary lecturer. I have experience tutoring children in grades 1 - 12 as well as college students in the areas of English and Mathematics. Currently I am finishing up my B.A in Applied Mathematics at U.C. Berkeley. 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
