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

...with what is important in student applications to medical school and could serve as an invaluable resource in helping to evaluate personal statements and review other aspects of an applicant's credentials. As a Los Angeles native who has lived, studied, and worked here for almost my entire life, I enjoy spending time outdoors (swimming, playing tennis, hiking) or just relaxing in the ample sunshine and great weather that we are blessed with. I also enjoy...

...students from all over the Bay Area in all academic subjects. My expertise is in Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics (through Calculus), English language (writing and ESL), and foreign languages (Spanish and Italian). My goal is to help students see the bigger picture in what they are learning and to master the details they need in order to succeed in their schoolwork and exams. When I am not tutoring or volunteering, I enjoy playing piano and violin...

I am in my second year as an undergraduate at UC Berkeley. I am an intended physics major and pre-medical student, so I plan to go to medical school. I have a strong passion for physics, though I also thoroughly enjoy chemistry and math. I have experience tutoring elementary and high school students, and would be comfortable working with college students in subjects I am qualified to teach.... I believe that the best way to learn is by teaching others: in explaining a difficult concept, one may often discover where one is less comfortable with the material. I hope to use this strategy to ensure that my students have a deep and complete understanding of the material. I am excellent at encouraging and motivating my students. I hope my passion for teaching will translate into enthusiasm in my students.

...Studies from the University of California, San Diego in 2005 and my Juris Doctorate from Howard University School of Law in 2010. I have been licensed to practice law in California since 2011. As an undergraduate, I worked as a tutor and mentor for underserved communities in San Diego. I worked with students ranging from first to twelfth grade, as well as adults preparing for the GED. After finishing my bachelors degree, I worked as...

...solve problems. Over the course of my undergraduate years, I have tutored at Santa Rosa Junior College for math and science subjects and led a study group of five for Multivariable Calculus. At Berkeley, I worked as a lab assistant for an introductory circuits class, in which I helped students with the lab sections. I like tutoring in all the subjects, but I have a strong passion for math, physics, and chemistry. I love those...

...of your college career is that you find yourself not being able to ask the right questions to guide you to the answer, and I want to be here to help you learn that skill. I will help walk you through all the steps of the problem and clarify the theory along the way so that you can gain mastery of the material. I look forward to hearing from you and helping you master the...

...is always that fine line between teaching and telling, and I always strive to make sure that the student is truly learning and figuring things out for him or herself with just a small nudge in the right direction. Too often students become reliant on a tutor for the answers, and it is important that the student really learns how to think so that he or she can become a critically thinking, self-sufficient individual in...

...are the math and sciences (particularly biology), both of which I have a strong background in through both undergraduate and graduate training. When it comes to tutoring, I like to see what a student knows first before offering guidance. In medicine, we often use the Socratic method of teaching, asking first general questions that test a student's ability to know the motivations for learning a particular subject, and finishing with more focused questions to find...

I am passionate about helping students master their subjects.

...extensively. Most of my tutoring experience is with 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...
