Award-Winning ISEE Tutors in Fremont, CA

...Mills College. I have been tutoring and teaching since 2009. From 2009 to 2011 I tutored mostly Math freelance and from 2011 to 2012 I taught French part-time at Bay Languages Academy, an after school program in Alameda. I started working with Varsity Tutors in 2013. I have always loved getting to know all of my students. Every single one has taught me so many things about learning and teaching, and I believe in return...

...from elementary school through high school. Before I begin teaching, I like to find out what my student already knows and how he or she learns best. Then I can find the best way to teach. My goal is that my students enjoy learning, build confidence, and learn a lot. Although I believe it is important to learn facts and procedures, it's most important to learn how to learn and develop an understanding of the...

...to essay writing, but it is also what standardized tests—whether ISEE or SAT—are looking for. They try to get the test taker to think flexibly, to solve weird and improbable problems using their intuition and creativity just as much as their skill or knowledge. However, I still recognize the importance of that knowledge base, and will work hard with any student on concrete test-taking skills. I’m thankful for this opportunity to learn from you as...

...and learn arithmetic; I also enjoy teaching middle school students with math and seeing their progress. I had a great time in my Anatomy class at UCLA and look forward to passing on the tricks I learned in school to my own students. Through my experiences as a tutor, I have developed a guiding style of teaching that allows students to form their own methods of learning. By allowing students to process information in their...

...I am currently assisting a group of Aim High 8th graders with their independent high school application essays. I am especially passionate about preparing students for standardized tests and editing personal statement essays. Many students experience test anxiety and are unsure of how to present themselves in personal statements, making the application process stressful. For this reason, I enjoy helping students put their best foot forward in their personal statements and learn test-taking strategies so...

...I still try my best daily to set the example for not only my own children, but for all children. I believe that an education is incredibly important and I strive to help children see their potential and reach for it. I enjoy seeing children learn new things and finally have that 'ah-ha!' moment when they finally figure something out that they have been struggling with. It is my goal to be part of the...

...a new problem. For this reason, I first ensure that the student grasps the basic concepts, and I then illustrate the concepts with a variety of examples. Learning in this way leads to a more thorough understanding of the subject and gives the student the confidence necessary to excel on exams. In my free time I enjoy playing basketball and drumming with my friends. I also love to read, watch movies, and listen to music....

...Math and SAT preparation. I particularly enjoy working with students on standardized tests as they provide the most common avenue for me to work on reading and writing with students. Additionally, I tutor Economics when I can. 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. When I am not...

...that time. I found that I was really successful in my courses. I recently applied to law school in the U.S, for which I had to take the LSAT, and I scored in the 97th percentile. I have experience teaching the SAT and the ACT (Science and Reading/Writing). I would love to help you with your writing, or with a particular school subject. I put effort into planning lessons and adapting to your needs, and...

...Ecuador and Peru, so I also speak Spanish. I have worked with students of all ages, from elementary school students just learning to read to Masters' students trying to perfect their theses. I am interested in a broad variety of topics (I completed two majors and two minors in college), and I am great at explaining complicated concepts in ways that are easy to understand. I also know a lot of great test-taking strategies, so...
