Mihir K. - Santa Clara, CA 95050 (14.9 mi) - PSAT Tutor - $92.50/hr.
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

LeAnn R. - Menlo Park, CA 94025 (17.8 mi) - PSAT Tutor - $30.00/hr.
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 go

Erin T - Los Gatos, CA 95032 (10.4 mi) - PSAT Tutor - $44.00/hr.
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 has equipped me with a thorough understanding of many different areas of math. Furthermore, I have played the clarinet for fourteen years, and taken private lessons and played in the university Wind Ensemble throughout college. I have tutored many students from elementary school through college for five years, in subjects from private clarinet lessons to Algebra to Statistics. Every student went away with positive results: higher grades, admittance into a higher band, or understanding of a subject. 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 b

Leah B - Sunnyvale, CA 94087 (12.9 mi) - PSAT Tutor - $46.00/hr.
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. I customize my teaching materials to each individual and use a wide variety of techniques to address different learning styles. I keep instruction varied and lively, using visual aids, music and interactive activities to involved students in the learning process. When students master skills and knowledge, it empowers them and opens their horizons to new challenges. That is what I love most about teaching. 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 le

Teresa G - San Jose, CA 95125 (13.6 mi) - PSAT Tutor - $46.50/hr.
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 more than 10 years. My MA is in Spanish and Learning Styles, and recently I finished my cultural linguistic certificate from Stanford University. Currently I teach teachers technology when I am not helping students with their spanish or english homework. 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 underst

Renu M - Sunnyvale, CA 94086 (13.7 mi) - PSAT Tutor - $48.50/hr.
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,

Douglas S - Santa Clara, CA 95050 (15 mi) - PSAT Tutor - $45.50/hr.
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

Shannon E - Palo Alto, CA 94306 (15.7 mi) - PSAT Tutor - $44.00/hr.
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 various parts of the Bay Area. I am particularly skilled at teaching students to construct persuasive, expository, and analytical essays, and at teaching students the fundamentals of grammar, mechanics, and usage. I am also available to assist in preparing for standardized tests such as the CAHSEE and the SAT. 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

David L - Santa Clara, CA 95054 (16.8 mi) - PSAT Tutor - $49.00/hr.
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

Nancy R - San Jose, CA 95119 (17.7 mi) - PSAT Tutor - $52.00/hr.
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 students get past their stumbling blocks, leading to increased confidence and much-improved grades. 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 success
