one on one. Concepts building for the student. Multiple views of the same problem. Focus on fundamentals and application. Teaching one on one with high focus on student's perception of subject.

I Provide multiple views of the same problem. I get the student to solve the same problem with different views. I mix multiple concepts in a question and train the student to get through the chaos.

My teaching style is different than other teachers. I always make sure kids get involved while studying and they do enough practice. I am having 13 years of experience to teach kids from grade 1 to grade 6 and college accounting students. I always make sure that student understand logic behind doing any task.

Problem solving is the best way to learn a technical skill. For instance, in mathematics homework usually consists of a set of problems that the student must solve. By watching how students approach and solve these problems, I can both assess the student's understanding of the material and help them make the logical connections needed to better understand the material. Additionally, I encourage students to adopt the mentality that science and math can actually be fun and a worthwhile use of time. Throughout high school I tutored students aged 9-14 in a variety of subjects ranging from math to music. I have also tutored informally as a college student, mostly helping coach peers through lower-division physics or math series. In addition, I volunteered for 5 years as a teachers assistent in an elementary and middle school setting, so I understand the dynamics of working with (sometimes lar

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

I am a recent graduate of Santa Clara University. I have a lot of experience in tutoring students in math of all different ages. Being a math major, a lot of my friends in college would come to me for math help when they weren't comfortable with getting a random tutor. I was a TA for several different math courses over the course of my 4 years at Santa Clara in which my responsibilities were to grade daily homework assignments and quizzes. From participating in that I have gained experience finding mistakes in students work and making suggestions on how to approach a problem better. In one of the most recent classes I graded for (a college level pre-calculus class) I held private tutoring and study sessions at my own free will to help them work through problems and to help prepare for exams and quizzes.

I have tutored for over three years in the east Bay Area, and I absolutely love doing it. I teach mostly mathematics, and I have taught pretty much everything from third grade math to Calculus II. Teaching is truly a passion of mine, and any one of my references (available upon request) would be able to tell you that. I adapt my teaching style to fit the particular student. Some students learn visually, so I draw everything out to show them how to approach a certain problem. For some students, repetition is what helps them understand. For others, they require "hands-on" material to learn, so I come up with a strategy that will best fit your students needs, through one on one instruction.
