LeAnn R. - Menlo Park, CA 94025 (0.2 mi) - ACT Tutor - $30.00/hr.
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 instruct. 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 p

Rajashree S. - Fremont, CA 94539 (12.6 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. I consider myself an expert problem solver, and can help my students to improve their prob

Mihir K. - Santa Clara, CA 95050 (12.8 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

Michael S - Foster City, CA 94404 (6.7 mi) - ACT Tutor - $47.00/hr.
I have an undergraduate degree in Aerospace Engineering. I have a Masters in Systems Engineering. I have tutored one person in statistics, algebra, analytical geometry and elementary functions for one year. She has maintained an “A” average during that time. I take a look at what the existing instruction materials are attempting to convey and I add to that or expound on that. I use Google extensively to look for similar examples to the problems the student might be having. I believe that it is best to solve any given problem in at least two different ways if you really want to get some insight. It also helps in either verifying your answer or checking if you are in the ballpark.

Ron B - Half Moon Bay, CA 94019 (11.9 mi) - ACT Tutor - $48.00/hr.
I started Bucknell as an Education Major, and then switched to English Literature. I spent one semester as a teaching assistant, and worked as a student literary journal editor. I won two poetry prizes, one given by my student peers, and one by the English faculty. Post-college I entered law school at Tulane. I practiced law for 20 some years. In those years I taught CLE classes for attorneys, as well as in-house sessions for employees of a firm for whom I was General Counsel. After Katrina my legal career was greatly attenuated, and I supplemented my income by tutoring LSAT preparation, and by writing and editing for an SEO company. I am adept at standardized test taking, scoring in the 98th percentile on the LSAT. Due to the economic climate in New Orleans, I moved to California in December of 2008, and am currently working as a substitute teacher. Having been fortunate enough

Padraig M - Santa Clara, CA 95050 (13.1 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
