Tutoring Especially For Home-Schoolers

Avg response < 7 hrs
(5)
I have been tutoring children since 1980. I love doing it and have had a lot of success teaching children. I enjoy teaching and I want my students to enjoy our lessons too. I have a great deal of respect for homeschooling and prefer tutoring those who are home-schooled. I am very good with shy or nervous children. I'm also good with children who have become discouraged and dislike doing schoolwork. I have 11 students I'm tutoring now, from my youngest student who is 4 years old, up to one who is 15 years old (I've been helping the 15-year-old since he was 10), and one adult guitar students. My after-school hours and weekends are quite full now, so I'd like to get homeschooling students or children I can work with during the day some other way.

Mr. Rick has been our children tutor for almost 1 year and I can't say enough how amazed we are by his patience, teaching style and empathy. Our 7 year old became a first grader that loves to read and write stories for fun. He was also a tremendous help with math and phonics. After a few months, our 4 years old was so excited by all the work her big brother was doing with Mr. Rick, that she he started to teach her a few minutes here and there and now she is a pre-K able to read K-1st grade books! It's not just about the academics, but the motivation and work ethics that Mr. Rick helped to instill in our children. I would strongly recommend him to any family looking for a private teacher. Kudos to Mr. Rick!

Ann has been tutoring my 15-yr old son in Math for almost 6 months now and she has truly been a blessing to our family. She's incredibly knowledgeable and does a great job of meeting my son where his current skills are, but also helping him to fill in knowledge gaps so that he can continue on to more advanced concepts. His attitude towards math went from negative to positive once he started working with her. I appreciate the encouragement she gives him each session and throughout the week as well as how she keeps me up to date on his progress. Ann's culture of accountability helps my son to own his learning process and use her as a resource, not a crutch. I could go on and on, but I'll wrap up by saying that my son and I have a great deal of respect and admiration for Ann and her approach to making math understandable and fun.

Math Tutor Available

(5)
I have a BS in Biological Sciences from Stanford University, and have always enjoyed learning and teaching math and science. I have tutored on and off informally and formally since I was in junior high myself, when I used to help my younger sister and my classmates with their math questions. I have tutored math and a variety of other subjects part-time professionally off and on, since 1992, working with elementary through high school, as well as some community college and adult students. I taught middle school math from '01-'09, middle school science from '03-'07, elementary science from '02-'05, and middle school ESL, from '01-'02. I am known for being very approachable, and for making math accessible to students who have difficulties. I enjoy breaking down concepts into understandable bites, and asking students questions that let them discover just how much they really do know (often they know a lot more than they realize), and helping them to fill in the gaps that are impeding their progress and/or enjoyment in math. I take every opportunity to get as much professional development and to find useful math and science teaching resources as possible.

I've taught students of all ages in a variety of subjects, including Math, English, and Computer skills. I enjoy helping others learn, and celebrating their successes. The key to a successful tutoring relationship is not just lecturing, but also listening and working with the student to find an approach that works. It takes patience, kindness, respect, and understanding, and I am dedicated to providing that to all of my students. I am willing to meet at my student's home, at a local library, or using an online communication tool, whichever works best for the student.

Experienced Math Tutor Up To College Level Math!

Avg response < 7 hrs

I've tutored high school students in everything from algebra to geometry to AP Calculus, and college students up to Calculus II and statistics. Math isn't work to me; I love it, and any time I get to explain it, it's super easy for me to get excited! I've found this really helps me in making the experience of tutoring the subject fun and engaging for my students. The challenge of explaining a concept in just the right way is a fascinating one, and I really live for the moments when I see that glimmer of understanding; it s the best! When I'm not tutoring, I'm studying! I'm a math major, but I'm also a competitive public speaker and debater, so I've got the linguistic skills to really help elucidate concepts! Looking forward to teaching you some math!

Before your first session with a new tutor, sit down and do a little preparation so you can get the most out of your tutoring experience.
