Leng D. - Olivehurst, CA 95961 (46.3 mi) - Algebra II Tutor - $35.00/hr.
I have worked with students of all ages. I have taught elementary all the way to college level students. I have taught basic math,algebra, trigonometry, pre-calculus, calculus and SAT math. I graduated from electrical engineering school. I understand what it takes to bring students up to speed. Over the years I have learned that students did not understand the subject because they did not master the basics. Math is like solving the puzzle, one has to master the previous course before moving on to the next.

Barbara B - Nevada City, CA 95959 (19.8 mi) - Algebra II Tutor - $44.00/hr.
My life experiences included a continued study of wine, currently earning a Certification status with the Court of Master Sommeliers. In pursuing this subject, I was able to execute varied instructive wine events, developing a following of customers at previous jobs.
Currently, I am studying for an Associates Degree in Biological Sciences, which required a retake of Intermediate Algebra, where I excelled as top student. My high school math was always at the "AA" or accellerated levels, having completed Trigonometry and pre-Calculus/Physics by my junior year. During those years, I was involved in tutoring Latin and English, in addition to math. I feel I am able to translate to the student a better understanding of material, so that they are able to grasp the essential meaning of the subject and work with it.
This was my motivation into entering the study of wine, both personally and

David S - Grass Valley, CA 95945 (23.2 mi) - Algebra II Tutor - $47.00/hr.
As a Cal Poly graduate with a BS in Computer Science, I have had to master most math and computer science course material. My experience is teaching math to mostly older teens and young adults.
In the professional world, I have trained all levels of employees on various computer systems (authoring, programming, operating systems, etc.). The training has taken the form of one-on-one, stand-up before a group, and creating online courses for "on your own" classes. I believe that most subjects are not difficult to master. Most problems come from "under learning" the subject. Repetition may work for some subjects, but with math the student needs to understand WHY a process works. Once this is learned, the rest comes rather easily.
When the student takes for granted a way to solve a problem, they are lost when the problem is presented in a different way. But, if the student unders

Peter H - Penn Valley, CA 95946 (29.3 mi) - Algebra II Tutor - $43.50/hr.
Knowledge and skills are most permanent when we discover and create for ourselves, so I like to be a guide that leads the student to their own conclusions, rather than take over and lecture. I will be there to direct and support the student; I like when the student works at the board or on the paper instead of me, so that they retain what is being taught.
I am very patient, and will work with the student on a subject until it is truly understood, and for more algorithmic tasks, until the student can quickly produce the correct answer. Tutoring my fellow classmates was an integral part of my college experience. At Yuba College, I tutored math and chemistry in the College Success Center for two school years. I was in demand, as even fellow tutors would seek my help. I was also requested by my physics professor to tutor physics in the Hard Math Cafe on campus.

David B - Browns Valley, CA 95918 (29.3 mi) - Algebra II Tutor - $46.50/hr.
As I come from a family of educators, I believe teaching is in my blood. I am a product of a “learn by doing” university education and naturally, use this philosophy when tutoring. However, I believe I also blend-in an appropriate amount of theory so an understanding of the concept being taught can be applied to similar problems. Using a relaxed and patient approach, I enjoy sharing my knowledge with my students and helping them reach their learning potential. What a great way to make a difference. Throughout my life, I have enjoyed and excelled at math and its applications. I graduated summa cum laude from an engineering program at Cal Poly successfully completing significant math coursework through advanced calculus. During the final two years of my undergraduate studies, I tutored university students in a variety of engineering classes, and more recently, I have been tutoring a

Emily E - Truckee, CA 96105 (29.9 mi) - Algebra II Tutor - $48.50/hr.
I am a chemical engineer and I currently work for a biofuels plant. I consider myself as having a good way of presenting the science behind biodiesel to the other employees who do not have a scientific background. As such, I often have to create spreadsheets and conduct training sessions to explain the mathematics behind the process in layman’s terms.
I have tutored students in chemistry, algebra, Latin and geometry. I tutored for underprivileged children in NYC for a few months in mathematics, and in college I tutored chemistry in my sorority and for other students upon request. I tutored a student from the Bronx area whose grades in algebra improved. One year ago I tutored Latin for a student for a couple of months. I like to break every concept and principle down into its most basic components. An artist breaks down a drawing into its basic shapes, and is able to create what

Michael C - Truckee, CA 96161 (32.6 mi) - Algebra II Tutor - $43.50/hr.
I begin a lesson by asking a student what he or she knows about the topic. If they have any familiarity with the topic I ask about it and confirm or correct their preconceptions. If the subject lends itself to a real-world example or demonstration, I would offer this for thought. Finally I teach the core concept, connecting it to other concepts already understood by the student.
There is usually more than one way to teach a concept. I take into account the learning style of the student. Written or diagrammatic methods might be more effective than verbal explanations. Pnemonics can be useful, but only if the underlying concepts are first taught. Upon matriculation at Colby, I enrolled in organic chemistry and decided to major in chemistry. I continued my studies in chemistry and additional areas of interest, including math, government, and economics. Before graduating I participated in

Amanda S - Auburn, CA 95602 (37.4 mi) - Algebra II Tutor - $49.00/hr.
For the past 10 years, I have worked in my community, helping to better the lives of children. At age 15, I began mentoring young girls and volunteering for a non-profit organization, counseling developmentally delayed children and at-risk youth. I later went on to become a Behavioral Therapist, educating children with autism. My love for children (and passion for education) was the determining factor in the course of my college career. I attained a B.S. in Psychology from the University of Utah in 2008 (graduating with a cumulative GPA of 3.8). In addition to my Psychology degree, I also hold a certificate in Human Factors Engineering and recently published research in this field. As an educator, it is my job to recognize each child’s individual learning-style and adapt my teaching-style accordingly. I will build upon each child’s abilities and strengths, and work to improve upon his/he

Kenneth B - Paradise, CA 95969 (39.2 mi) - Algebra II Tutor - $42.00/hr.
I remember my first tutor in junior high. He helped me gain an understanding beyond just the numbers and the formulas. From his example, I started tutoring friends as a sophomore in high school. I enjoy helping others see beyond the numbers, in understanding the basics, and seeing how everything fits together. I enjoy guiding the way and helping to enlighten children that have that innate curiosity.
How many can envision the one (or two) individuals that helped them to see and imagine? I do and have strived to be there for friends, family, and students alike. I have been a multi-disciplinary science and mathematics tutor for over 20 years. I have tutored jr high, high school, college, university, and graduate students in mathematics, biology, chemistry, and physics. I have tutored in a one-on-one, drop-in, and group tutoring capacity.

Kirk M - Paradise, CA 95969 (39.7 mi) - Algebra II Tutor - $43.50/hr.
I enjoy teaching individuals more than large groups. I enjoy getting to know the interests of those I teach and use that to find ways to motivate students. I am extremely patient and very enthusiastic about student learning. I give constant feedback to the learner and will be quick to praise the student when they are successful. I believe that everyone can learn and succeed if they are given the opportunity and a positive environment to enable them to meet their full potential. I feel that my positive approach and genuine care for each student can make a great difference in a student's learning experience. Since graduating from Eastern Oregon University, a college known for its education programs, I have dedicated most of my adult life to teaching.

Al H - Auburn, CA 95603 (39.7 mi) - Algebra II Tutor - $45.50/hr.
I started tutoring classmates in seventh grade and tutored friends in college in Trigonometry. I have earned two BS degrees in Landscape Architecture and Computer Science with a minor in Math. this diverse education allows me to tutor in Math and Science as well as design and art. I have tutored part-time since 2004, mostly in high school Math, but have also assisted in Chemistry, CBEST, SAT, and GRE prep. I have also developed coursework and taught at UCSC in the classroom setting, and trained employees. My first visit is just an assessment of where the student began to get lost regardless of the age or level. More often that not, they have to memorize their fractions to decimal to percentage conversion from 1/2 to 1/12. Given this underlying knowledge allows me to focus on the subject at hand.
