joshua b. - San Francisco, CA 94110 (1.3 mi) - Study Skills Tutor - $40.00/hr.
Through my educational studies and life experiences I have gained a firm grasp and appreciation for Mandarin Chinese and Chinese culture. Furthermore, I am a gifted teacher and wish to share my knowledge of China, as well as other subjects like music, history, and art, with others who may find some facets of these subjects to be challenging. Mandarin Chinese - I use Total Physical Response Teaching (TPRS) when teaching elementary aged novice learners, which teaches Chinese as well as American Sign Language.
History - I teach history using the many multi-media databases that I subscribe to each month.
Musical instruments - patience and hands on. I ask the student what song they want to learn and start learning the first lesson.

Christopher O. - San Francisco, CA 94105 (1.7 mi) - Study Skills Tutor - $50.00/hr.
Depending on the course and student, I vary my teaching style from the Socratic Method (with a lot of questions and answers between the student and me), as well as utilizing real world examples to reinforce concepts. Finally, I strive to move from the basics of a concept, to intermediate types of problems, and build to advanced level. By doing so, I focus on the student's increasing confidence to tackle tough problems. Extensive experience as both a college adjunct (at 6 different universities) as well as a tutor for various courses, with particular skill assisting students in overcoming exam-related stress and learning blocks. My experience includes teaching children (8 years old and above), as well as diverse college students, including student-athletes, and those with a learning disability/hearing disability. I hold three graduates degrees--it's fair to say that I am a life-long l

I've been helping people understand material for as long as I can remember! I am always more proud of myself for teaching material to others than I am learning it myself! I've been a teaching assistant for computer science for multiple semesters, volunteer at Girls Inc assisting with tech courses for middle schoolers, have done science demos to classrooms of elementary kids, and tutored for multiple computer science courses.
I am in iOS programmer looking to tutor intro Computer Science classes. I can teach more advanced ones depending on the language uses. I like to find out what my students are interested in - I will make the subject matter approachable by relating it to the student's interests!

Magda H. - Oakland, CA 94606 (8.5 mi) - Study Skills Tutor - $50.00/hr.
I work best one-on-one or in small groups, I can adjust my style to what a person needs after speaking with them for a while and understanding how they learn. I've found the best way to teach someone a new way of looking at something is to understand how they currently perceive it. I have worked in art and graphic design professionally for the past 6 years, however I have been freelancing and creating art for myself since 1998. I previously worked for the Hayward Area Historical Society, which included assisting in design for exhibits as well as some teaching to visiting school groups. I have also been asked to teach small groups of children about art, or help with general homework on numerous occasions.

Amy M. - Oakland, CA 94605 (11 mi) - Study Skills Tutor - $90.00/hr.
Learning HOW to study, how to memorize, how to find the most important information, and retain it, is my approach. I assess the student's level of mastery by listening to parents, communicating with the student (in whatever appropriate way needed) and then doing some basic testing. Once the student is assessed, I design a learning environment and activities that coincide with the student's specific strengths, while adding some elements of challenge. I tend to work in a very focused way for 10-15 minutes, and then add in tactile activities (like Bannana Grams for example) for 10 minutes or so, in order to maintain the student's attention. Children and youth who are struggling to read and write get patient assistance to learn the words correctly. My work will improve writing techniques (including essays and basic writing skills), reading comprehension, vocabulary development, and literary

Inna A. - Belmont, CA 94002 (16.5 mi) - Study Skills Tutor - $40.00/hr.
"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
