Award-Winning ACT Tutors in San Mateo, CA

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.

...value in me as a tutor is teaching students how to solve problems on their own, instead of just relying on me to give them the answers. I can teach students the importance of not giving up, ease the pressure they get from academics, and help them to comprehend the learning material more easily. I am able to put myself in their shoes and help them guide through each problem, essay, and assignment.... Someone who teaches should be in the same standpoint as the student.

...and spending time with family and friends. In high school and freshmen year of college, I was on the Speech Team. Getting to know the speech and debate community has been truly amazing, and I know my passions shine through with everything I do. I also enjoy listening to country music, playing badminton, and writing poems.

...as well as relevant applications. I tutor a wide range of subjects including Physics, Math, Biology, English Reading and Writing, and more. While I have a background in many subjects, my favorite subjects to tutor are Biology and English.

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.

Using guided questions and creating a strong knowledge foundation to help every individual learn the best way possible for them!

...setting up routines, procedures, and daily practices to help students develop organizational skills and strong study habits. My favorite subjects are science and math. I find both subjects fascinating and I enjoy discovering new aspects of the world around me through studying these subjects. I love reading, spending time with my family and friends, being outdoors and being active. I am currently studying for the medical school admissions test (MCAT) and learning Spanish. I would...

I am also an outdoors person, therefore, I love to connect topics to nature and all that we see around us.

...Obispo and earned my B.S. in Biology with an emphasis in Human Anatomy & Physiology and a minor in Biotechnology.

...I mentored first-year students in their studying and organizational skills, while also gaining classroom teaching experience in public schools through fellowships and volunteer opportunities. Having recently transitioned into the life sciences, I know what it's like to be frustrated by difficult concepts. My tutoring approach focuses on providing students with the tools and strategies for thorough understanding of the material. I relish seeing students discover the "big picture" and gain confidence in solving problems. I...

...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 is a useful skill for everyone to possess. I am an avid traveler and self-proclaimed foodie. I...
