Award-Winning ISEE Tutors in Berkeley, CA

...Every single one has taught me so many things about learning and teaching, and I believe in return many have grown from working with me.

I believe that figuring out what these are and molding the content around them is the key to good teaching. Helping students to see and to...

I think my tutoring style can best be described as Socratic; my main mission when I work with students is to help them develop a long term methodology for problem solving and self motivation.

...to meet students at their level if you want them to learn. Learning occurs beyond textbooks and worksheets. Kids need to and like to work with objects around them to demonstrate concepts. Taking this to heart, I use number and letter cutouts as well as a whiteboard for my younger students. The whiteboard emphasizes writing their letters and numbers as well as addition and subtraction. One of my kindergartners happily showed his mom the alphabet...
