Greetings! I am offering one-on-one tutoring in a variety of subjects to young learners in San Francisco. I am available throughout the year to aid elementary and high school students with math, science, English and social studies. I also offer lessons in French, statistics and research/composition skills-- plus test preparation for SAT, ACT, GED and GRE.I am an adaptable and communicative tutor, with a broad knowledge base and varied teaching experiences. After graduating magna cum laude from Georgetown University, I studied and worked on sustainable development issues in Washington, D.C. for several years. I am now pursuing a career in education. I have worked with students in a range of settings-- as a K-12 substitute teacher, an after-school program instructor, and a graduate teaching assistant in geography and economics. My time spent at the head of the classroom has granted me a great deal of patience for working with a range of learning styles, and a passion for creating positive learning experiences.Good luck, and keep studying!-- B.S.F.S. '06, Science, Technology & Int'l Affairs, Georgetown Univ., Washington D.C. GPA: 3.75-- 5 years professional experience in writing, research, analysis and translation.-- 2+ years experience as an educator, working with K-12 and undergraduates.

If you want an involved, patient, detail-oriented tutor, I'm your best choice :)Education is a gift that mostly goes unrecognized. People are praised for their talent and intelligence, but rarely is the opportunity to learn mentioned when people reach success. I'm thankful for the opportunities my education has brought me, and that's why I love to tutor!I hope to clarify the topics that are fuzzy and to create plans that will bring students a step farther in their study habits.~Ellie

I received my bachelor's degree from Connecticut College in New London (1980) and law degree from Suffolk University Law School in Boston (1985). In March 2006, I received a Master of Arts in "Security Studies (Homeland Defense and Security)" from the Naval Postgraduate School's Center for Homeland Defense and Security. I am admitted to practice law in California, Colorado, Massachusetts, New York, and the U.S. Virgin Islands and have worked in both the private and government sectors.Since 2006, I have been a writer, homeland security/emergency management consultant, and instructor. I teach homeland security, emergency management, and public health classes, and design homeland security classes. My favorite subjects to teach are government/political science and homeland security. The first helps me understand our amazing system of government, and the second is about protecting it.My teaching philosophy stems from theories about adult learning (andragogy). Rather than the teacher simply spewing facts (pedagogy), the teacher is a facilitator of learning to a motivated learner. Students need to know facts, but learning is more than that. It includes thinking about the material.

I graduated from Middlebury College in 2007 with a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature with a Creative Writing focus and a Studio Art minor. While at Middlebury, I was invited to join the peer writing tutor program at Middlebury's Center for Teaching, Learning, and Research. As a peer writing tutor, I helped students improve and revise their written assignments in all subjects, but worked more extensively with first-year students in writing-intensive courses. Currently, I work as a freelance writer and editor and have edited application essays for numerous graduate school applicants, several of whom were accepted to their top choice programs. I have also tutored undergraduate and graduate students who requested support throughout long-term written projects such as term papers and theses.I enjoy tutoring any subject that involves writing, and I have found great satisfaction in helping students organize their thoughts and learn to express themselves clearly and confidently. Many people are nervous and uncertain when tackling a written project, and it is always gratifying when they overcome this block and discover how surprisingly eloquent and articulate they can become.When I am not writing or reading, I like hiking through old-growth redwood groves and exploring the beautiful Northern California coast, as well as relaxing with my fianc and our two adorable rabbits.

I'm a class of 2015 Physics major from the College of William and Mary, in Williamsburg Virginia. Born and raised (and currently based!) in Northern Virginia, I have a penchant for American history in addition to the physical sciences and mathematics. I'm a voracious audio-book listener, and often drift to sleep with the words and stories of past philosophers, mathematicians, and world leaders. Beyond this, I thoroughly enjoy playing FIFA '16 on Xbox One, surfing the web, computer programming, and watching silly YouTube videos.More than anything, I'm eager to impart some of the math/physics/economics know-how, tricks, and tips I've learned over the years from taking dozens of courses from the high school level to the upper-most college level unto my students. Finally, having initially struggled with Physics and Math myself as a highschooler and college student, I'm in a unique position to empathize and guide students so they can develop the skills and understanding they need to succeed in their coursework.

Hi, my name is Alyssa and I am a math/reading/writing and organizational skills tutor for students from kindergarten to college. A little bit about me:In May 2015, I graduated summa cum laude from the Dominican University of California, where I earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Liberal Studies/Teacher Preparation, a minor in mathematics and Honors. While at Dominican, I had ample classroom and one-on-one experience with students. I worked as an assistant teacher in six different elementary school classrooms (ranging from kindergarten to fifth grade) throughout Marin County. In addition, I worked as one of the mathematics, statistics and liberal studies tutors at Dominican's Teaching Learning Center (TLC). In my one-on-one with undergraduates, I helped students who initially struggled with concepts to ultimately master the material. Further, I helped develop students' study, test-taking, organization, and problem-solving skills. My experience also includes tutoring high school students (algebra I, algebra II, geometry, trigonometry and functions) privately.In the fall of 2015 I lived in Portland where I was a tutor for elementary through college levels with Cornerstone Learning. From February 2016 to present, I have been a tutor with Tutor Corps in San Francisco. I have had experience tutoring fifteen students through Tutor Corps from kindergarten up to high school in multiple levels of mathematics as well as reading, writing and organizational skills.I also have a passion in working with students who struggle with learning differences. At the age of eight, I was diagnosed with ADD and throughout my years in education, I worked hard to gain the skills and strategies that would help me succeed and progress despite my learning differences. As a tutor and teacher, I have a strong understanding of the needs of students. I am passionate about helping every individual go above and beyond, no matter what his or her learning style is. One of my most gratifying teaching experiences was tutoring a first grader who struggled with ADHD. He had been held back for two years in a row, but after a semester of working one-on-one with him using visuals and skills/strategies that worked best for him, this student began acing all of his tests and moved onto second grade at the end of the semester.In addition to teaching math, I also enjoy teaching dance and choreographing. I am currently a company dancer with Peter & Co and perform/tour with the company. I am also a guest dancer for several other Bay Area dance companies and am a freelance choreographer. Furthermore, I am a faculty member of Marin Dance Theatre and Presidio Dance Theatre where I teach contemporary, ballet and private lessons (to students from elementary to high school) and choreograph contemporary works for the pre-professional division.

I'm a rising senior at Pomona College with a specialty in critical reading and writing skills.I have prior experience working at my school's writing center to assist first-year students with college-level essays. I have also captained an award-winning collegiate mock trial team for several years, which involves mentoring younger students in oral and written communication skills. In addition to my experience, standardized testing has always been a forte of mine. I am enthusiastic about sharing the skills and strategies that I have picked up along my way.If you are seeking a patient, energetic, and articulate tutor for your student, please reach out. I look forward to helping your student find their individual pathway to success!

I have been tutoring for the last five years, and I am grateful that so many students have trusted me to help them achieve their goals. I received my Bachelor of Arts in English Literature from Oberlin College. I am currently studying at San Francisco State University, pursuing my Master's of Science in Physics. Between my undergraduate and graduate studies, I served in the United States Peace Corps to teach English in rural Panama. In San Francisco, I have been enjoying helping my students improve their test scores on the SAT. I have a strong connection to all the subjects I tutor. Because I am studying science, I am most passionate about physics and math, but I excel in every subject I teach. Throughout my life, I have had many wonderful opportunities that resulted from my excellent education. It is important to me that my students receive an excellent education to improve their quality of life. In my free time, I enjoy playing guitar and bass, writing fiction, and improving my chess game.

I tutor French students at all levels and ages. I recently graduated from UC Santa Barbara as a French major and I have been all over the beautiful country of France. My interests include soccer, chess and reading books in both English and French. I can help students with their reading, writing, listening and speaking of the language as I am a fluent French speaker.I look forward to meeting you. Au revoir!

I have experience with Computer Science from a student, professional, and teaching perspective. I understand what it feels like when you are completely stuck on a problem or concept, so when teaching I use scaffolding to break concepts down into manageable parts. I have experience teaching Computer Science to a classroom of 20 high school students from different socioeconomic backgrounds. This included daily lectures, mentoring, and one on one tutoring/debugging, among other responsibilities. I also gained experience tutoring college students during my time as an undergraduate. I emphasize understanding the concepts behind a problem, not just getting the assignment working, and use real world examples to allow the student to understand through their own perspective!
