I enjoy teaching and this is a passion that is a very big part of my life and something that I am good at. I hold a Master's Degree in Operations Research, so in short I am very good at all math applications and optimization.

I am a former elementary school teacher. Later, I became a professor of American History at a university. I have taught many different grade levels and subjects. I have also tutored many children over the years. I enjoy one-on-one tutoring since it is a good way for students to learn their lessons. If a student is feeling confused or uncertain about an assignment, the tutor can offer structure and guidance as to how to proceed. Sometimes a student has a question that did not get answere...

During a late, Spring morning on the De Anza Community College, I distinctly remember walking across a nondescript tan building with a flyer posted on a bulletin nailed to its wall: ESL Tutors wanted!  For some reason, I don’t remember why, I assumed it was a volunteer position, and at that time I thought, “Why not? It sounds like a fun experience.† Little did I know that opening the door to that nondescript tan building and speaking with the supervisor would culminate in a change of maj... Read more

I love to tutor and have done so for many years. My favorite subject is English and Creative Writing. I especially love helping my students write essays or prepare for interviews and/or college exams. Recently I was a reading teacher to fourth graders and took a special interest in each and every student. My goal was to help them improve their reading and spelling skills to prepare them for the next grade, as they were falling behind. Happily, they all successfully completed the program and...

Scott
Expert Physics Tutor
- $250 / h
- San Jose , California ( 95117 )

I teach freshmen (high school) physics students at a highly selective private school in the South Bay. While tutoring I employ a Socratic method which asks students to explain how they know what they know and emphasizes deep conceptual understanding. This is profoundly effective since you cannot explain what you do not understand. As an expert physics teacher, I know where students encounter physics pitfalls and then purposely ask questions designed to guide students through them. Finally, I ... Read more
