Randy
Ph.D. Psychologist Offering TESOL - Student Centered Teaching Approach
- $50 / h
- 5 ratings
- Emeryville , California ( 94608 )
- 12 miles
I have been teaching students ranging in age from 15 years old to elders in their 80s. The way that I teach is what has been termed by educators as a student centered approach. By combining my professional work as a psychologist along with my teaching experiences, I believe I have gained the sensitivity of knowing where the student may be in their learning moment.

- Oakland , California ( 94611 )
- 10 miles
My name is Joseph; I was born and raised in the Bay Area and graduated from UC Berkeley with a Bachelor’s degree in English Literature. After a brief period teaching at a public high school, I realized that it wasn’t for me and so moved to the private sector; I got a job working for a company whose employees are almost exclusively non-English speaking Chinese.
