Mihir K. - Santa Clara, CA 95050 (12.7 mi) - ACT Tutor - $92.50/hr.
I really pride myself in personalizing my tutoring. I try to never have more than 6-7 students at a time so that I can provide the best possible personalization of teaching to each student. Additionally, being at a similar age to many of my students helps me relate to them a lot better than some older tutors may be able to; I have more recent experience with taking the same courses/tests as them or applying to colleges like them, and this helps a lot in my tutoring personalization.
In terms of my teaching style, I love being able to connect with students beyond the structured environment of most classrooms and tutoring/prep academies. I try to provide my students with just enough structure so that they know how to study, how to test, etc., but enough autonomy so that they can learn how to succeed on their own.
Helping students navigate this fine line is really meaningful, as many

Jessica G. - Mountain View, CA 94041 (18.6 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.

Rajashree S. - Fremont, CA 94539 (21.2 mi) - ACT Tutor - $60.00/hr.
According to me, the most efficient way a student can learn is by focused preparation and constant practice. I reinforce the concepts learnt at the end of each session & give lots of practice problems. Periodic quizzes & assessment tests will be there to make sure the student is comfortable & confident on the topics taught before moving on. "Timed" practice tests for SAT & ACT students, to mimic the actual tests. I'm an experienced tutor specializing in Chemistry and Mathematics at the high school and college levels. I earned my PhD in Chemistry from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Chennai. I was a postdoctoral fellow at Clemson University, SC, and have several year's experience in the pharmaceutical industry as a Scientist and continue to help students in learning concepts in chemistry.

LeAnn R. - Menlo Park, CA 94025 (25.4 mi) - ACT 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

Janae K. - Salinas, CA 93901 (33.3 mi) - ACT Tutor - $45.00/hr.
I have worked as a tutor for 10 years in all subjects, especially focusing on ESL learners. Recently, I have worked in an ESL school (FLS International) with university age students seeking to matriculate into American Universities. Before that, I worked in South Korea teaching English. While employed at these schools, I also work part-time as a tutor- mostly for middle and high school age students. Many of my students struggle with time management, and this is a main focus in my tutoring sessions. I hate lecturing! I do! This is why my tutoring style is very interactive. I don't like talking AT a person, I prefer to have a conversation. My goal as a tutor is to make subjects interesting, and also to make sure they stick- so you can do well on exams. I also teach study skills in every session, so ideally you won't have to rely on me forever. I try to give students tools that the

I have tutored students in their preparation of the more Verbal parts of this exam. I believe learning should always be engaging and meaningful.

Padraig M - Santa Clara, CA 95050 (12.3 mi) - ACT Tutor - $46.00/hr.
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

Rachel H - Santa Clara, CA 95050 (12.3 mi) - ACT Tutor - $47.50/hr.
I am a recent graduate from Santa Clara University with a double degree in Economics and Finance. I worked for three years at Stanford University with the Foundation for Education (F4ED) tutoring advanced elementary students in applied mathematical concepts. I am currently working as a research analyst for the Aspen Network of Development Entrepreneurs (A.N.D.E.) as well as co-writing a paper on applied financial concepts with a professor from Santa Clara University. I enjoy teaching students of all ages. I believe the best way for students to learn is by asking questions. I encourage students to think outside the box and ask as many questions during each session. In addition I feel that students learn best when they are able to apply a recently learned concept to a more challenging or different problem. I believe that every student can surpass expectations and reach their full pot

Matthew M - Gilroy, CA 95020 (14.5 mi) - ACT 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.

Travis B - Fremont, CA 94538 (22.2 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

Christina C - Livermore, CA 94551 (28.5 mi) - ACT Tutor - $56.00/hr.
When you meet me in person you will immediately feel that I am someone who relates well with children and teens. I get to know students on a personal level and find out their learning style and modes of learning. I also assess their current skill level and knowledge of the subject so that I know where from where to start. There are often "holes" of information that are missing from students that can cause increasing problems as lessons build upon knowledge previously learned. Tutoring helps to fill those holes and to help kids find success! I am exceedingly patient, flexible and am very professional. I truly care about each success and frustration in my students and I believe in kids when everyone else has given up on them. I am an educator who has experience in a variety of teaching environments with a range of student ability, needs, ages and cultures.
