Jessica G. - Mountain View, CA 94041 (12.3 mi) - SAT - Verbal 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. I am great with kids, having grown up with seven brothers and sisters, and I have a passion for education. My areas of expertise are tutoring in critical reading and writing

"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

Mihir K. - Santa Clara, CA 95050 (16.1 mi) - SAT - Verbal 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

Janae K. - Salinas, CA 93901 (46.1 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $45.00/hr.
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 they can use to teach them how to teach themselves- something they'll have to do if they're considering college. 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 st

Shannon E - Palo Alto, CA 94306 (12.1 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $44.00/hr.
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 that they will feel comfortable engaging in the risk-taking that is necessary for learning to take place. I emphasize the teaching of reading and writing strategies that students can take with them and use in future assignments, which helps to increase students' feelings of confidence as readers and writers. 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 va

Raymond D - San jose, CA 95129 (12.4 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $47.00/hr.
My approach to teaching math and science is to thoroughly prepare a student by first emphasizing the fundamentals. Too many students get "lost" if advanced concepts are taught too soon. Then, once a student is ready, the studies should emphasize the students strengths and interests to the utmost possible. As an engineer and mathematician I have experience in all areas of Aerospace engineering,including management and mentoring of engineers over much of my 44 year career at Lockheed Martin. I have also tutored math, phyics, and other related subjects.
