Grass Valley Math Tutors

College educated tutor (BA in Liberal Studies Elementary Education) with hands on classroom experience. Positive attitude, encouraging, motivating, and fun! Experience in all subjects including math and Spanish language. Skilled and knowledgeable in online learning platforms.

I have both volunteer and paid experience as a private tutor for both middle school and high school students. I have experience in English reading comprehension and composition, Math through geometry and algebra, biology, geography, social studies, Spanish as a second language, and SAT prep. Additionally, I have been a nanny for home school students (age 4-10) and am prepared to help students adjust to distance learning. I have a BA in English Literature from University of California, Santa Cruz. I gradated magna cum laude and with honors in the major.

I'm a retired computer engineer and teacher with two adult children and three grandchildren. I love to teach and I've found that I can explain complex subjects in easily understood terms. My specialties are math, physics, and computer software. For me teaching is not work, it's fun.

My current experience is primarily TK and Kindergarten. I also work with First through Third Grade children. I have programmed activities in a variety of settings from special education to early head start. Now, I work for a public elementary school district in Grass Valley. I will be laid off on August 18th, so I will need work after then. I am currently pursuing an online program for a Masters of Art in Teacher Elementary Education ending in teaching credential. Last year I completed a dimensional analysis math class and my last administrative early childhood education class at Sierra College. I am part of the Early Quality Matters professional development registry on continuing early childhood education for professionals in the field. My favorite avenue of learning is the arts and art exploration.

I have over 7 years tutoring kids ranging from preschool through college-aged students in every type of academic course. In Math I range from elementary through Calculus. English, Reading Writing, Science, Social Studies. College Prep. I myself graduated with the highest GPA in 72 years at William Jessup University. I was also voted as The faculty Choice Scholar for academic Excellence. I take kids from D's and F's to A's and B's.

I have tutored from basic level math to advanced classes in high school. I mainly tutored in English, Algebra, Geometry, and Physics, but I am able to tutor for other subjects as well. The most important thing about tutoring is guiding the child to be able to teach themselves.

It has come to my attention that care. com is somewhat of a scam. Lots of negative reviews showing that if you cancel your subscription they will keep charging you. I don't want to be a part of this site. During my time at Humboldt State University (HSU) I enjoyed a part time job as a math tutor for students with learning disabilities. I feel my greatest strength is my ability to empathize with those who struggle with math. At HSU I enjoyed helping students feel confident in math by working patiently with them and explaining concepts in a way that makes sense to them. If they didn't understand a certain concept I was explaining then I would find a new way to explain it that better fit their learning needs. I often use analogies and pictures to explain certain concepts to make them easier to understand.

I have taught middle school, multiple subjects, with a particular love of math! I taught Algebra, Geometry and 7th grade math. Differentiation in instruction and the ability to really break down the methods to get to an answer are my specialties. I love how there is more than one way to get to the answer! My other love in middle school was teaching science. I taught 6-8th grade curriculum. Eighth grade science (physics, elementary chemistry) was a particular favorite because it relates to everything we do and see! I have also taught Kindergarten and 1st grade. My love of teaching reading was sparked by this grade level.

I have tutored my children and grandchildren in English and Math. I have taught music to K-3 in a public school in Mountain View, CA. My grandchildren are 7 and 11 and attend a Charter School in Truckee. I am familiar with current trends in their education. While emphasizing the acquisition of basic English and Math skills, I am pleased to see that the school is also nurturing a love of learning and the building of confidence in the pursuit of goals. I am a retired Medical Laboratory Technologist and Medical Laboratory Instructor. I enjoy the opportunity to help children and adults strive towards and achieve their full potential.

Since 2011 I have been tutoring fellow students and neighbor's children. Most of the subjects I covered were math and science, however I was always very proficient in English as well. I have tutored children from ages 6-18 and can work a flexible schedule.
