Palo Alto Tutors

I love working with families and providing the additional support needed to make life a little easier. I have been a Learning Strategist and Academic Tutor for the past 6 years. Prior to moving to Palo Alto I had my own tutoring business in Los Angeles and continue to work with many of my students online. A little about myself... I majored in Child and Adolescent Development and Psychology. As a Learning Strategist I specialize in working with students who have diverse learning needs. My background in Child Development has resulted in my unique tutoring techniques. My philosophy and curriculum focuses on the person. When children form a bond with their educators, learning is optimized. Children are like sponges and if the learning material is presented appropriately they will soak it all in! In my free time I love to make a mess in my kitchen! Some of my other pastimes include hiking and painting.

I have some past experience tutoring a 5th grade girl in English and math, and I made good grades in school, so I'm confident I can help with whatever assignments your child has.

I have violin performance bachelor degree in China and a Certified teacher in China since 2009. I teach violin for a state university preparatory school from 2013 and also teach private lesson. I tutor and teach people Chinese and have great experiences and effective teaching ways.

I am a credentialed teacher with special education and get ed experience. I can see so many of my students missing basic skills and struggling. Teachers do not have the time to spend with individual students and it is an unfortunate reality. I am fantastic at individualizing concepts especially in math. I enjoy tutoring and seeing my students really grasp new things and see their confidence grow.

I have been an ESL teacher in the Czech Republic for the past year. I have taught English to students of all ages and levels; including Pre-intermediate, intermediate, and Upper-intermediate in groups and individual classes. Taught CAE First Test preparation, Business English, and General English.

I have over 10 years of teaching at the preschool to K level.

My teaching style provides children with a safe nurturing environment which enhanced their confidence to tackle problems and take on new challenges.

I LOVE kids and they love me! I form a strong bond with children. I love and protect them as if they are my own. I have 12 years experience with children ages 0-17yrs, twins, multiple . I have experience getting infants on a schedule, feeding, changing diapers and potty training. I keep children engaged and happy. I am very loving, but maintain strict boundaries when it comes to discipline. I am great at establishing a schedule and keep children on it. I have found that when children are on a schedule/routine, it brings them stability. I have picked up children from school and driven them to activities. I prepare snacks and light meals and help with homework. I play games and do various crafts, baking and other activities the children enjoy. I have experience as a mothers helper, house manager and scheduling various appointments, travel, play dates and running errands. I am Infant/Child/Adult CPR/First Aid certified. All of my vaccinations are current and I have excellent references.

I've been a babysitter/nanny for a little over 3-4 years now. On my free time I enjoy, reading, taking walks with my dogs, and volunteering. I've been a volunteer at the Boys And Girls Club for 2 years now. I love volunteering, especially because it involves children. In the past, I've been able to work with different families with kids ranging ages from newborns up to teenagers. I've worked with families with many different backgrounds and needs and I believe every experience has made me a better babysitter/nanny. Some of my many responsibilities are: being in-charge of pick-ups and drop-offs, managing schedules, getting kids to start their homework, grocery shopping, scheduling play dates, taking kids to activities, and preparing afternoon snacks, these are just to name a few. Also in being a nanny, I like to make it fun for the kids. I like to be able to bond with them, and learn more about their likes and dislikes are. In that, I like to take kids to get ice cream or some kind of treat when their schedules permit also taking kids to the park or the library. In some occasions, I've been able to take the kids to the zoo, movies, or other places that are enjoyable for the kids. I would consider myself to be a very hardworking person, responsible, honest, and reliable person. I not only try to make it a fun environment for the children, but a safe one as well. I always want to make sure the family is comfortable and knows their kids will be taken care of at all times. I have amazing references from past families I've worked for that know first hand what it is like having me work for them, and who are willing to speak to you if needed. Please make sure to check out my reviews! Looking forward to speaking with you soon.

I am a 20-year-old college student looking for a part-time position that would give me the opportunity to continue to learn and gain experience as a mentor, educator, and care giver. I have a lifetime of experience looking after children, animals, and older people. Professionally, I have worked as a tutor for the past 6 years, and I have approximately 1 year of experience working as an assistant teacher to youth ages 5-14. My hobbies and interests include photography, creative writing, reading, and spending time with family and friends. In working with kids, I value patience and understanding, and I believe that it is important to maintain mutual respect. I want to help create a society in which we move away from viewing children as objects that need to be obedient, towards a more humanistic approach that acknowledges children as whole and autonomous beings. In short, I will support, educate, empower, and respect your children. I look forward to speaking and maybe working with you
