Knowledgeable, patient and caring Spanish teacher
- $50 / h
- 56 ratings
- Menlo Park , California ( 94025 )
- 10 miles
My interest in becoming a Spanish teacher is driving my passion for helping Spanish learners to be successful, and I would like to assist them with all the tools and knowledge I have. Many students do not know how important and effective learning a second language is, and my job is to share this important information with my students. When I was in high school, I was convinced by the organization and motivation of one of my English teachers, and this is one of the reasons I decided to become ... Read more

I'm enthusiastic about tutoring -- I've been teaching and tutoring, as time permitted, starting when I was a graduate student. My BA is in Maths and Computer Science, my PhD is in Physics, I did postdoctoral work in Biophysics, I was on the Physiology faculty at a university in Canada, and now I work in the Biotech field here in the Bay Area. My approach when tutoring is to find a way to bring the student to that "aha" moment when things become clear. Not just to become clear for its own sa... Read more

- San Mateo , California ( 94402 )

I am a former K-8 teacher who is highly skilled in the teaching of all elementary-school subject matter. My tutoring is oriented around first discovering the place where the student's understanding is temporarily blocked, and then finding creative ways to break through that blockage so that the student truly understands the subject and his/her natural abilities are revealed and promoted. I have accomplished my objective as a tutor only when the student no longer needs me to succeed in the are... Read more
