Award-Winning Tutors in San Francisco-Bay Area, CA for Students in Special Education Programs

...and found that I really enjoyed the process. The most satisfying experience was tutoring my brother and sister and seeing them begin to develop confidence in school and finally make better grades. What makes me different from most tutors and educators is my strategic mindset. Most teachers recite their curriculums like clock work and take the key details for granted. For example, when solving for the length of the longest side of a right triangle...

...that, I spent four years as a sportswriter and columnist in Los Angeles. I have worked with students of all ages from kindergarten to adulthood and am a staunch believer that it is never too late to fall in love with learning any subject (even math!). My approach to tutoring is the same way I approach training for a sport. If you are willing to put in the effort, you will get better (and if...

...life. This is one of the reasons I am a pre-health student with an aim for a career as a Physician's Assistant. Tutoring students is directly related to my mantra and passion to educate. I am very eager to apply the lessons learned through high school and two years at Cal to help a student excel in any material. Because both of my parents are teachers (one high school-level and one university-level), I have both...

...and Relay for Life. Though I tutor in a wide variety of topics, I am most passionate about English. I am a highly skilled writer and editor who can provide valuable tutoring to any student struggling with the written word. Most importantly, my methods of teaching can help encourage students to regain the confidence in themselves needed to feel prepared and at ease in any academic setting. Next year, I plan to go back to...

...work with everyone from ESL students to students with multiple languages to elementary-aged students just learning to read and write for the first time. And although it may sound silly, I get really excited about reading, writing, researching, and editing, and even more so, I look forward to working with students! I'm available to help, instruct, and work collaboratively with anyone looking for the additional guidance, practice, or instruction needed to achieve their personal goals.

...across the country. I tutor a vast array of subjects from Algebra to Spanish, but my favorites are English, History, and organizational skills. In my observations, I have always found that giving students proper organizing skills as their foundation for success allows them to reach their full academic potential. I enjoy nothing more than witnessing the students I work with master and apply skills that they once found impossible. In my spare time I love...

Hello! My name is Naomi, and I am a recent college grad planning to attend med school. Although I majored in Chemistry and Psychology, I have taken upper level courses in subjects across the board. Most of my professional teaching experience has been with kids- particularly children with developmental and learning disabilities, but I am more than happy to work with students of any age!

...time working in a charter school, as a private English tutor in Madrid, and with both private and non-profit academic support and enrichment programs. Over the years I've taught just about every subject. I love helping students develop a positive, can-do attitude in relation to subjects that used to make them feel anxious and confused. (In my experience this is often math or standardized tests, but I also love to tutor writing and general study...

...prove to the world that we retained what we learned that year. But are we *actually* learning? My goal as a tutor is to make your studies enjoyable. I love to use visual and real world examples to help you grasp difficult concepts. At the end of our sessions, it is my mission to make sure that you can not only solve sample problems, but actually understand your coursework on a deeper level!

...from first grade to college-level. I tutor a broad range of subjects, but I am most passionate about Math, English, Literature, and Essay Writing. My favorite subject to tutor would be Math. I love seeing students have that "aha!" moment when a math problem finally makes sense. I also have experience with ACT Test Preparation. I have a love for learning, and I try to instill this passion in all of my students. In my...

...level. I also think it is important that learning is not just for one assignment or one test, but rather that it sticks with you to build a solid foundation of knowledge and confidence that you can carry forward. My favorite subjects to tutor include English, SAT test preparation, math, and psychology. My approach to tutoring is to meet the student where they're at and go from there. I find that this way we can...

...challenging skills. Central to my philosophy as an educator is the fact that all students are unique. These differences are not synamous with disadvantages. Different learning styles or varied personal interests are things to celebrate. By immediately identifying and leveraging an individual's strengths, I have helped students successfully overcome their weaknesses. With diverse strategies such as the use of mathematical models, pre-writing graphic organizers, and mnemonic self-monitoring reading strategies, my students have developed the ability...

...at Boston College, majoring in Computer Science and minoring in Marketing. I have tutored for two years through a small Tutoring volunteer program in the Twin Cities Metro area. I taught math, science, and ACT preparation for students eight to 15. This year I am a board member of the Women in STEM club at Boston College and row on BC's DI women's crew team. I enjoy teaching computer science, algebra, and calculus.

I am a diligent worker and consistently ensure that I am prepared to meet the student's needs. I am exceptionally patient and excellent at developing creative ways for learning when I see a student needs a new approach. Further, from years of experience taking standardized tests (including the...

...education degree, I spent three years tutoring college students with learning disabilities such as dyslexia or ADD. I predominantly tutored English courses, but I also helped them with college algebra, public speaking, history, and drama, and would review any paper they had to complete in any subject. I am a great tutor because I am a very patient person--if students are struggling, I do not get frustrated, I simply try a different approach. I understand...

...I especially enjoy helping people with their writing skills or ACT/SAT prep. I wholeheartedly believe that everybody deserves access to the most effective education and that learning is a lifelong experience, and I hope that my students grow to believe the same. By treating students with respect and attempting to truly make a connection with them, I get the privilege of seeing the enthusiasm light up in their eyes, which is a wonderful feeling. In...

...a Bachelor's degree in elementary education and special education with endorsements in reading and ESOL. I am currently pursuing my Master's degree in school counseling. I am a very organized and detailed tutor but I feel it is important and vital to get to know the student individually. I feel it is best to learn what works for the student so learning can be best facilitated and supported. Thank you for taking the time to...

...tutor, I try really hard to help students connect the material they are studying inside the classroom to their passions outside the classroom. Sometimes all that's needed to make the material "click" is seeing how it is relevant to their own lives. My personal interests include theatre (especially Shakespeare), reading and writing, arts and crafts, baking, and outdoor activities with my dog. My favorite subjects to tutor are English, writing, and SAT prep, and my...

...Bachelors, I moved to Boston and completed two Masters Degrees in Religion, Philosophy, and Ethics at Boston University. I have taught classes, tutored, been a Teachers Assistant and a Research Assistant at two different graduate Universities. I am primarily interested in Religious Studies and Philosophy, but I also love to tutor literature, writing, special education, and research methods. Whenever I tutor, I make sure it is a fun and enjoyable experience. After all, who wants...

...rewarding with the hard work it takes to make everything 'click'! When I am not working with students, you could find me: in the kitchen, cooking foods from around the world (with names I can hardly pronounce); in front of the computer, playing video games and listening to music; or outside, hiking/gardening/swimming/reading on a hammock (weather permitting!) I love learning new languages and studying new subjects. I am currently the Technical Program Manager for the...
