LeAnn R. - Menlo Park, CA 94025 (8.7 mi) - PSAT Tutor - $30.00/hr.
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 potential. 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

Candi J. - Fremont, CA 94536 (12 mi) - PSAT Tutor - $40.00/hr.
I present concepts in a variety of ways, such as: "hands on," visually, problem-solving, and inquiry-based. I reinforce the concepts each time we have a session. I tutor with a style that is accepting, positive, and where my student's feel comfortable enough to ask questions and become actively involved. All my students are successful learners who have fun learning! My passion in life is teaching, where I can tutor students on a 1:1 basis!

Inna A. - Belmont, CA 94002 (14.9 mi) - PSAT 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

lynn z. - Berkeley, CA 94705 (31 mi) - PSAT Tutor - $40.00/hr.
I have spent many years helping people prepare for the Verbal SATs ... I am an English major and teacher of the language ( critical thinking and reading, composition, grammar and word studies etc.). I believe learning should always be engaging and meaningful. It is critical to address individual student learning modalities and needs so the student can experience great success. I have always been a teacher of best practices, meaning incorporating those strategies and methodologies which are the most effective. They work because they promote high student investment and engagement. I have been a dynamic, successful elementary, middle and high school teacher as well as college instructor of Art, English, French and History for many years. I also taught in a two way language immersion school ( English and Spanish) for six years so I can teach Beginning and Intermediate levels of Spanish. Whil

I am a patient, kind and skilled teacher. I believe that students learn the best when they are able to ease the stress surrounding their challenging subjects. I approach tutoring by meeting students wherever they are in their understanding, and help build their confidence and self trust in the subject. I am skilled at presenting difficult topics from a variety of perspectives.

My tutoring style is described as follows:
1) I encourage learning by doing
2) I encourage learning by thinking: By interpreting ideas, sythesizing and analysing them and by critical revision of those ideas

Leah B - Sunnyvale, CA 94087 (0.9 mi) - PSAT Tutor - $46.00/hr.
I was featured in an article in the San Jose Mercury News because of the hands-on approach I take to addressing my students' learning needs. I customize my teaching materials to each individual and use a wide variety of techniques to address different learning styles. I keep instruction varied and lively, using visual aids, music and interactive activities to involved students in the learning process. When students master skills and knowledge, it empowers them and opens their horizons to new challenges. That is what I love most about teaching. I have tutored a wide variety of students for 14 years, ranging from high-level executives and business professionals to students from the elementary to community college level. The reason my students have nominated me for a teaching award is because of the fun, inspiring learning environment I create to build each individual's confidence with le

David L - Santa Clara, CA 95054 (4.4 mi) - PSAT Tutor - $49.00/hr.
I know of few things that compare to the moment a concept or idea clicks in a student's head. Regardless if it registers with a knowing nod or is the result of a difficult grinding process, the feeling for me is the same. I firmly believe that no two children think in exactly the same way, and so often no two children learn in exactly the same way. Differences in persepective, experience, environment, etc. mean paths to discovery may differ for each child. My job as an educator is to find that path through patience, compassion and creativity, all while creating an enjoyable learning environment. Since high school I have always been in a postion as a mentor and tutor. One of my first experiences was as a camp counselor for inner-city youth. Since then my affinity for teaching has grown while serving as a Bible study teacher and private tutor, to the position I now have as Assistant Direct

Douglas S - Santa Clara, CA 95050 (4.8 mi) - PSAT Tutor - $45.50/hr.
I believe that each student should learn to be in charge of their own education. My goal is to help them achieve that goal. I am not quick to jump in with the answer but can wait patiently for them to work through the problem. Since I learned by a very different method than my teachers tried to teach, I look for a students learning style. If he is not getting the concept, I'll try another or even invent one on the spot. It is such a joy to see the light come on in a student's eyes. I love working with students. One on one is even better than teaching groups of thirty in my book. I also worked ten years as a Physical Chemist where I had to know Math and Physics as much as Chemistry. I have taught Math, Physics, Biology in addition to Chemistry, and tutored in all these areas. I also graded essays for the state of Georgia and so I could sharpen any students essay skills. I have

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 various parts of the Bay Area.

Teresa G - San Jose, CA 95125 (7.2 mi) - PSAT Tutor - $46.50/hr.
I have lived in Spain in college and visited in high school. I've traveled to Mexico, Aruba, Spain, and el caribe. I have taught Spanish, technology and beginning French for more than 10 years. My MA is in Spanish and Learning Styles, and recently I finished my cultural linguistic certificate from Stanford University. 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
