Ward
Writing & Reading Coach
- $100 / h
- 23 ratings
- Berkeley , California ( 94702 )
- 20 miles
For two years as a Stanford Hollyhock Fellow I studied how to help students write better. Through feedback that is both technical (the X's and O's of writing) and power-affirming (asking writers to think deeply about their effect on the reader), I have helped dozens of students get into colleges. In particular, I excel at coaching for the Personal Insight Question (PIQ), a college essay form unique to the UC system, and have led workshops on how to understand and use this type of essay. My...

- Berkeley , California ( 94702 )

I grew up in Berkeley, went to undergrad at Humboldt State University and recently received my master's degree at the University of Dundee in Scotland. I like to teach in a way that makes the most sense to you by using mnemonics and other sometimes odd ways to remember material, I thrive to make anatomy fun and easy to understand. If you don't understand the way the teacher is presenting the material, or the way I am trying to convey it, I will change my tactic until you understand it. I ... Read more

I graduated in Physics from UC Berkeley in 2015. I am interested in all disciplines of Science, and like to bring this enthusiasm to my tutoring sessions. Apart from helping students understand the subject material, I enjoy sharing new ideas and advances in Science. I owe my interest in Physics to the professors who made the subject interesting and comprehensible. I enjoyed those courses more where instructors were welcoming and accessible even after classroom hours. Therefore, I understan... Read more

Math and Science Tutor - Dan S.

My philosophy to tutoring and teaching is to emphasize problem-solving skills over rote memorization. I believe that teaching and reasoning through problems enables students to develop critical thinking skills that extend beyond the classroom. By learning multiple approaches to problems, one gains the knowledge base to master a particular subject, alongside creative and abstract reasoning skills that are essential to personal and intellectual growth. I'm a recent graduate of Columbia Univer... Read more

Hi. I believe in the "organic" method of tutoring. That means I start out LEARNING FROM YOU THE STUDENT, about what you already know, how you talk about it, and what type of learning process works for you. From there, I create an approach to expressing MY understandings by starting with what you know and speak and expanding on that. Now, there are times when this doesn't work so well, and I need to introduce you to something that is quite unfamiliar at first glance. But even then, I seek comm... Read more
