David

Professional Tutor with over 47 years experience

Children's education is a parental responsibility. Most parents strive to gear their children so that they have the best chance for success in adulthood. This requires exposure of the student to numerous aspects of life including basic, core and elective education. Schools, teachers and tutors may be part of the solution, or they may be part of a problem. I am part of the solution. Teaching is a difficult and time-intensive profession. Teachers must not only understand the subject matt... Read more

Paul

Exceptional English Tutor Specializing in Writing and Test Prep

I've been teaching and tutoring for over fifteen years and to me the most important aspect of teaching is that the student learns how to think for him or herself. Without that, there is no real learning. This begins with the relationship between teacher and student. There must first and foremost be trust, so that the student feels comfortable learning with a particular person. This is also important for the teacher so they begin to understand how the student thinks, how the student learns and... Read more

Adary

Tailored learning for success from a top-10 US university tutor

My focus when I tutor is on tailoring the learning process to each of my students; my goal is to develop students' learning abilities and skill sets so that eventually they will not need to have a tutor in that particular subject. The goal is that students will learn to apply strategies they learn from me to all manner of problems and not just the one or two or three that is on their assignments. I try to provide detailed reasoning/proofs behind concepts that we cover, although in different s... Read more


Carlos

The Right Personal Connection Can Lead to the Right Brain Connections

Allow me to quickly describe my own educational history. I attended Santa Clara University directly out of high school because Dad, my adoptive father, thought I'd make a good engineer like himself; this was mostly because I had a superior aptitude for math and was pretty good at drawing and computer programming, at least for that time. I attended school there for a year and a term before I began experiencing health problems--since resolved--and tried to switch to performing arts, and my pa... Read more


Wendy

Providing Reading and Writing Support for all Ages

My teaching experience began in Seattle in 2005, where I worked with diverse groups of students in low-income neighborhoods to provide them with garden-based education in schools and after-school centers through a small non-profit, Cultivating Youth. I was pleased to instill in these students an interest in science and nature while they inspired me to take my teaching career abroad. Since then I have taught English in Southeast Asia, worked to assess grassroots education efforts with a large ... Read more
