Award-Winning ACT Tutors in Oakland, CA

...Physics, Chemistry, and Algebra. Although Math and Science are traditionally viewed as difficult subjects, I believe that once students realize that such subjects are not something to be afraid of, they excel very quickly. Seemingly daunting word problems can be broken down into manageable bits and solved very easily. I believe having this ability to dissect a problem into smaller portions is important not just for academics but for everyday tasks as well, and it...

...the two because of the seemingly boundless nature of the natural world. As an experienced teacher and tutor, I have seen many students in and outside the classroom at various stages of their scientific and mathematics learning. As a result I have learned how to explain and teach subjects from beginning to end—to use metaphors, different study materials, or to regroup and attack a problem from a different angle. Having written a lot of essays...

...not help my friends out? It started with friends going from failing their math class to getting A's. After I realized I could help my friends, I decided to help others as well. I learned how much I love helping others with math. Not only do I get to help others, I also gain more knowledge on the subject by tutoring it. Whether it's algebra or calculus, I always learn with my tutee.... There is never a bad student who is not smart. There is only a bad teacher who doesn't understand how to share their knowledge correctly. If the teacher can understand the student and how they learn, the student will have no trouble.

...During this time I have acquired great experience in tutoring and teaching. I have a total of 8 years of experience tutoring mathematics, particularly calculus. I also have 5 years of experience tutoring in the sciences, such as biology, chemistry, and physics. My experience has come in the form of private, one-on-one tutoring with students ranging in ages from 7th grade through adult learners, college-level review courses, and even teaching SAT prep courses. My students...

...mentor teacher during that time. For the last year and a half I have worked with the teenage girls at church. I teach biweekly Sunday School lessons and help plan weekly activities. Currently I stay at home with our two little boys while my husband works on a PhD at Stanford and I love it, but I miss teaching and working with students. I tutor a wide range of subjects including history, writing, and math....

...and oral response. I tutor a range of subjects with a focus on language arts – for example: • Reading: both elementary skills and critical reading for high school or college students; reading strategies for dense texts and complex assignments. • Writing: grammar and punctuation, including for ACT/SAT; introduction to essay writing (thesis statement, hypotheses, supporting claims, concrete details); advanced essay writing; college application statements; editing. • French: reading, writing and speaking in the French...

As a UC Berkeley graduate with medical school aspirations, tutoring and teaching is a natural transition. I have experience with all age groups (elementary to post-college) and enjoy the process of creating true understanding along with building strong relationships with my students. If I can share even a fraction of my love of science, math and other subjects with students I know progress will be made!... Using guided questions and creating a strong knowledge foundation to help every individual learn the best way possible for them!

I have over ten years of experience tutoring and I love working with my students. It is my priority to meet each student's unique learning needs, and I enjoy making seemingly complex concepts easy to understand. Many of my former students/clients refer friends or ask to work with me when new needs arise. I also love to help students with essays and college/grad school applications.

...a Harvard Law School graduate - and elite Harvard professors, I've amassed an invaluable registrar of the most positive and passionate didactic paragons from whom to glean my very own multidimensional repertoire of teaching methods, including but not limited to: auditory, audiovisual, visual, verbal, kinesthetic, didactic, Socratic, heuristic, lecture, discussion, demonstration, buzz groups, brainstorming, role plays, etc. Quintessentially, if you have a pulse, I can nimbly adapt to teach you in the exact manner by...

...Algebra, as well as Physics and Chemistry. Math and science have always been my favorite subjects to study and teach, because they are built on evidence and proof. My teaching philosophy is based on this- that if you know how something works, rather than just that it works, you will remember it better and be much more confident applying it. Additionally, I understand from experience that individual students learn in different ways, and that adapting...
