Award-Winning Graduate Test Prep Tutors in La Mesa, CA

...subjects I tutor are math (geometry, algebra/trigonometry, calculus), chemistry, biology and astronomy, as well as test prep for the SAT, GRE and LSAT. I have some experience in college teaching, but most of what I have done is one-on-one instruction of college students and graduate students in a laboratory, as well as helping my 11-year old son with homework. I really prefer teaching people individually because many people do not learn well in a classroom...

I have more than five years of tutoring and teaching experience, from elementary school to high school to adult learners, having taught English, English as a Second Language, Geography, Social Studies, General Educational Development classes and SAT prep. I have experience working with students for whom English is not their first language or who have non-traditional educational backgrounds, as well as advanced students and students in the creative field.

I love the written and spoken word. The history and story, of the humanities has always been a fascination for me. I currently hold a Masters degree and will be applying for my PhD for 2018. When I'm not teaching or training, you will find me outside staying active and playing around with a deck of cards (I was a magician once upon a time).

...to coach the younger members. I would help them prepare for upcoming topics while working with them to develop their speaking, writing and research skills. I'm currently teaching two after-school classes, one in Pre-Calculus and the other in Biology.

...in MCAT preparation for all three sections. I enjoy teaching all subjects, but I am most passionate about topics relating to biology, chemistry, and biochemistry. As a tutor, I focus on making the material approachable and relatable for students--after all, I believe that the most important takeaway from any tutoring session is the desire to learn more! Balance is an important part of life and, for that reason, neuroscience, tennis, photography, reading and pets are...

...produced a small literary journal. My writing has been published in various nationwide magazines. I tutor writing and literature, as well as related subjects like grammar. I love helping students clarify their thoughts, find their unique voices and shape powerful essays and theses. My varied experience teaching has taught me that every student learns differently, and one of the things that separates an exceptional teacher from an average one is the commitment he brings to...

...approach to all of the subjects I teach can be described as fundamental: I like to work from the bottom up, building logical ties between concepts and learning how to compute results from them in favor of rote memorization of formulas, principles, and the like. This is perhaps part of a wider philosophy of mine, which results in such simple hobbies as hiking, sailing, and reading books. My voracious reading habit is also a symptom...

...I am well qualified to tutor in French, history, psychology, and a range of specific topics in English. All of these are subjects for which I have a great passion and enthusiasm myself, so helping students understand them, and perhaps even appreciate and come to enjoy them, is a real pleasure for me. I believe strongly that enjoyment and interest are among the greatest keys to learning, and also perhaps the most important thing any...

...math and, unlike many of my classmates, took a great pleasure in being introduced to new topics. I like to describe math as a sort of puzzle. Each piece builds off of something else, creating a more complete picture. It's therefore always important to have a solid grasp of the basics - to understand the previous steps - before learning each new topic. My approach to tutoring thus focuses less on memorizing formulas and more...
