I enjoy teaching and this is a passion that is a very big part of my life and something that I am good at. I hold a Master's Degree in Operations Research, so in short I am very good at all math applications and optimization. I have tutored since I was in high school and my students were successful in not simply solving equation but understanding the principles and extending the knowledge to unknown and never before seen problems. My teaching style is structured and I prefer to have a pl... Read more

I love to tutor and have done so for many years. My favorite subject is English and Creative Writing. I especially love helping my students write essays or prepare for interviews and/or college exams. Recently I was a reading teacher to fourth graders and took a special interest in each and every student. My goal was to help them improve their reading and spelling skills to prepare them for the next grade, as they were falling behind. Happily, they all successfully completed the program and...

During a late, Spring morning on the De Anza Community College, I distinctly remember walking across a nondescript tan building with a flyer posted on a bulletin nailed to its wall: ESL Tutors wanted!  For some reason, I don’t remember why, I assumed it was a volunteer position, and at that time I thought, “Why not? It sounds like a fun experience.† Little did I know that opening the door to that nondescript tan building and speaking with the supervisor would culminate in a change of maj... Read more

Scott
Expert Physics Tutor
- $250 / h
- San Jose , California ( 95117 )
- 10 miles
I teach freshmen (high school) physics students at a highly selective private school in the South Bay. While tutoring I employ a Socratic method which asks students to explain how they know what they know and emphasizes deep conceptual understanding. This is profoundly effective since you cannot explain what you do not understand. As an expert physics teacher, I know where students encounter physics pitfalls and then purposely ask questions designed to guide students through them. Finally, I ... Read more

Background I’ve always had a passion for teaching and working with young people, and I want to share my love for math and science with others.

Zeina
Psychologically-Oriented--ADHD and Learning Disabilities
- $198 / h
- 61 ratings
- San Jose , California ( 95128 )
- 20 miles
I offer a very high-level of tutoring that is far more comprehensive than what most tutors offer. In addition to my English degree from U.C. Berkeley, I am also close to completing my master's degree in Psychology from Santa Clara University. Most tutors only address, what I call "content"--meaning the content in the textbook or the content the teacher covers in the classroom. What is severely lacking in the approach of most tutors and tutoring companies is a focus on the internal "process... Read more
