Award-Winning ISEE Tutors in San Francisco-Bay Area, CA

...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 own way, they are able to absorb information more effectively and enjoyably. In my free time, I enjoy exploring different music, reading, baking, and sewing. As a fairly new resident of San Francisco, I also like to sightsee around the city and try as many different foods as...

...self-motivated learners. I've always seen it as a challenging job, but also as enriching, enlightening, and awesome (and I mean awesome in the strongest sense of the word)! I am so happy to be able to continue that work with Varsity. In terms of the subjects I am comfortable teaching, of course Math and French are what I have the most experience with. But I would love to be given the chance to tackle new...

...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.

...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. I...

As the daughter of a third grade teacher, I place great importance on education. I have witnessed the positive impact that increased one-on-one attention can provide for students. I tutor every subject with enthusiasm, striving to make every session informative and fun. In my...

...Arts to adults and children from numerous cultural and linguistic backgrounds. For me, teaching is a gift. Teaching gives my life a purpose and the opportunity to empower my students with knowledge. In addition to teaching I spend my time traveling the globe. I have visited various countries including Mexico, India, Germany, Italy, Singapore, Japan, Hong Kong, and the Netherlands. I also enjoy going on road trips in Northern California, hiking the mountains or coast,...

...with my help. My tutoring philosophy differs for each student. I like to assess and try different techniques with each of my students based on their needs, and I have even brought parents into the meetings before if a student seems to really be struggling. I see my job as a team effort with the student, parents or guardians, and myself. Outside of school, I love to hang out with my friends and family, be...

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 I'd...

...and SAT, and I thoroughly understand all of my subjects. Math is something Ive enjoyed for years: its logical, and makes sense. There is a correct answer. I feel accomplished when I understand a new concept, or when I solve a problem. Meanwhile, I feel very comfortable with standardized tests. I can teach students the essential concepts, and I also understand effective ways to approach and think about problems and use a limited amount of...

...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 tutoring...
