Janae K. - Salinas, CA 93901 (12 mi) - SAT - Verbal 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

Mihir K. - Santa Clara, CA 95050 (32.2 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

Jessica Q - Aromas, CA 95004 (7 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $49.00/hr.
I am very passionate about teaching. I want to do it for the rest of my life so it is something that I enjoy. I love working with children and teenagers. I want to be an inspiration to my students. I want to motivate them to love learning and to find subjects that interest them. I like to teach through discussion and interaction because I believe that the best way to learn something is to analyze it yourself. In this way children and teenagers can learn and can, possibly, find a deeper meaning in what they are doing and as a result enjoy it. I also try to motivate my students to take control of their own education, to think critically, and to feel better about themselves through learning. I am currently working towards my BA in Humanities at San Jose State University. After I complete my BA I will enroll in a program to get my teaching credential in language arts. I have written

Brian P - Marina, CA 93933 (8.3 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $45.00/hr.
I strongly believe that a successful tutor/teacher must know how to recognize students' individual learning styles and capitalize on their strengths. With all of my students, I make every effort to create a positive learning environment and to build their self-confidence. I have tutored many intelligent students who have developed mental blocks in relation to certain subjects as a result of receiving consistently negative feedback. By maintaining a learning environment that students finds agreeable, manageable, and challenging all at the same time, I am able to achieve success and make the learning experience rewarding for them. What interested me in a pursuing a teaching career was the tutoring experience I gained in high school and college. I started tutoring high school students in basic mathematics and science, and in college I was able to broaden my tutoring base to Spanish and Eng

Mary S - Salinas, CA 93906 (9.5 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $46.50/hr.
As a graduate, I've been very blessed to have received a degree in Business Communication. In college I learned how to become a better educator, and communicate with them on the highest level. Although, I tutor in all of the academic areas, I also enjoy helping my student appreciate the art of becoming a good writer, and thinkers. My students are also encouraged to read for relaxation, and entertainment. Making the education process fun is also an asset. The extensive course work, I received in college has enabled me to teach others to become academically proficient. Teaching can be a most wonderful adventure. I believe every child can learn. At times students or overwhelming with new concepts, and they need to be encouraged, and praise until they can accomplish the task at hand.

paul s - aptos, CA 95003 (11.3 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $47.00/hr.
I am comfortable lecturing on various subjects. However, I have seen the best results with repetition and continual reinforcement of the subject matter while weaving in larger ideas here and there. I am calm, patient, persistent, and supportive of everyone's particular abilities. In 2009, I completed a profession editing certificate to add to my degrees in English and rhetoric. Because of this experience, I am confident teaching and tutoring the humanities (English, history, philosophy, etc.) at high-school and college levels. For two years, I have taught all subjects as an aid in a fourth and fifth grade special day (SDC) class. This experience has taught me effective ways to teach difficult material to young learners with particular learning needs.

Matthew M - Gilroy, CA 95020 (13.4 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $46.50/hr.
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. I currently possess two degrees, a Bachelors of Arts in Social Science with an emphasis in Teaching Preparation and a Masters of Science in Environmental Management. While I consider myself highly competent and comfortable teaching anything within California’s kindergarten through twelth grade curriculum, my strengths lie within my background and education in science and mathematics. I have also garnered over two years of providing instruction in preparing for the SAT. 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.

Paul K - Pacific Grove, CA 93950 (14.8 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $50.00/hr.
I have devoted myself to teaching as a profession for the last fourteen years because I feel a sense of worth in what I do. I believe that my role is that of a facilitator. My job is to help students define their goals, explore the resources they have at hand to reach those goals, and facilitate the process of meeting those goals. My choice to teach also rests on a foundation of community. As a college instructor, my worth is tied to more than the success of individual students. I strive to help students become an integral part of the communities in which they live, and I celebrate the fact that I play an instrumental role in the economic, social, and educational edification of my community. I have more than 14 years of experience as a Literature, Language, Business Communications, Technical Writing, and Composition Instructor at the college level. I hold a Master of Arts degree in Engli

Chelsea P - Monterey, CA 95940 (16.3 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $48.50/hr.
I feel that my largest teaching strength is the ability to identify where students are having problems and address those issues first. If students don't understand the fundamentals, it is impossible to teach them advanced concepts. In addition to this, being able to identify the students learning style and teach to them personally is something I am skilled at. I tend to connect with my students and am proud to be involved with their success. In High School I discovered that not only was I skilled in math and science, but that I was effective in tutoring other students in these subjects. I started professionally tutoring students younger than me when I was a junior and continued until I graduated college. I successfully tutored students in Algebra, Geometry/Trig, Algebra 2, Pre-Calc, Chemistry, Physics, Biology, and SAT Prep.

Kelly S - Carmel, CA 93923 (17.6 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $47.00/hr.
After earning my BA and CA Teaching Credential in English, my love for the language and subject drove me to complete my MA in English and Comparative Literature in less than two years. Such an intense program demanded that I not only be highly organized, but that my analytical, writing, and verbal skills be immensely effective, as well. Consequently, I successfully translated these abilities to the many students I have taught and tutored over the past six years. Although I have instructed students in all the humanities (even basic French), my expertise is in English composition (essay writing) and the development of critical thinking skills regarding English literature. My former high school students used to tell me how much they appreciated my patience with them; modestly, I would have to agree with their assessment. I believe that individuals process information in different ways, and

Nancy R - San Jose, CA 95119 (24 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $52.00/hr.
I have an M.S. in Computer Engineering, an extensive background in Mathematics, and worked for many years as an engineer in Silicon Valley companies. I thoroughly enjoyed school and excelled at test-taking, which I know is an area of anxiety and difficulty for many students. I believe that students will have the best possible future lives if they have the best possible education. I help students get past their stumbling blocks, leading to increased confidence and much-improved grades. I work as a partner with the student and their parents, tailoring each tutoring program to the student's needs. I especially enjoy helping high school students excel in Math. One of my recent tutoring students went from receiving an F on Algebra2 exams to receiving a B, after only 2 weeks of tutoring! I'd love to help your student improve their results in Math class, and prepare themselves for a success

Currently I teach teachers technology when I am not helping students with their spanish or english homework. I have a MA degree in Spanish and Learning Styles so I just love teaching. My style is relaxed, as I teach a foreign language. I think feeling comfortable is most important when trying to understand a new lang. I also bring various techniques that include technology, short grammar videos, games, short cult'l videos, songs the STUDENT likes, texts from topics that STUDENTS like, and I customize each training session to get my student up to speed and able to underst
