Carefully selected, highly-credentialed SSAT tutors in Rancho Santa Fe, CA
"I tutored my fellow students in Mandarin Chinese, French, and chemistry. After I graduated, I went to China and taught English both at a school and privately for three years. Right now I'm teaching English as a Second Language at a language school here in San Diego. I like private tutoring a lot more than teaching large classes because it's much more personalized and I can help the student learn exactly what they need."

"Upon finishing my degree I joined an organization called Teach For America which helps place teachers in our nation's lowest performing areas. Over the last two years I taught high school math and science in the Mississippi Delta. More specifically, I taught 12th grade Psychology/Sociology/English, 11th grade Chemistry, 9th grade Physical Science/Algebra 1, and AP Physics. Whether working with large groups or individuals, accelerated learners or students requiring extra support, being a part of the teaching and learning process is amazing! Outside of academics I really enjoy the wilderness, sports, and music." ...

"I tutor all subjects, but I mainly focus on math and sciences as those are my passion. Growing up my dad, an Electrical Engineer, used to do math with me for fun. It became ingrained in me and I thoroughly enjoy all levels of math. In my high school I began a Big Brother Big Sister program in which high school students paired up and tutored students from an adjacent elementary school."

"Higher levels of math and science are built based on their fundamental concepts. Therefore, a solid understanding of these basic concepts is very important as students move forward into more advance courses. Showing students steps to solve a problem is necessary; however, showing them why performing such steps is the key to successfully tackling more complex problems.."

"However, the bond I had with my original client remains strong to this day. After tutoring him for three years, whenever I return to Northern California, I visit the family to see how they are doing. I enjoy connecting with the clients on a personal level and maintaining a friendly environment. I pride myself in trying to take pressure of the student, which I believe helps them learn the material."

"I have had two years of training in tutoring and presenting material effectively. It is a common mistake of tutors to simply lecture rather than explain and interact. That is something you need not fear from me.
I am a big fan of individual one-on-one tutoring, since a student's individual needs can often be overlooked in a classroom setting. It is my goal to make up for any deficits that a student might experience from lack of teacher attention and to advance his or her knowledge beyond that of his or her peers."

"
My passion in teaching lies in reaching struggling students and giving them an "Ah Ha!" moment. While reading is my favorite subject to teach, I also enjoy math, science, writing, and Spanish.
I have taken several science course at SDSU including Anatomy, Physiology, and MIcrobiology. I received high scores in all courses and would be excited to tutor these subjects.
In addition, I am trained in ISEE/SSAT test prep, Seeing Stars and the LiPS program.."
