I have always been passionate about making the learning process an exciting, safe experience for students.

Hi, I'm Emilie and I was a certified French to English Translator for several years before tutoring for students of all ages. I was born and raised in France and since my middle school years I have attracted french learners from all over the world. This naturally led me to get a BA in Foreign Languages (English, Spanish and Italian, best way to understand a maximum of people!) from Rouen University. I also studied Management (and how to be organized) and got a MSc in Marketing from Bordeaux S... Read more

Is your math textbook written in hieroglyphics? I can help.
- $40 / h
- San Mateo , California ( 94404 )
- 20 miles
Hello, I'm Andrew. I'm a lifelong math-lover. I studied math at UC Santa Cruz and while I was there, I developed a knack for unsticking the stuck and knowing when it is necessary to set aside full rigor and explain by example and analogy. The areas of math I've tutored others in the most are calculus (single- or multi-variable), differential equations, linear algebra, and trig, therefore these are the areas of math I've signed up to tutor. If you are looking for help with more advanced to... Read more
Sandra
American Sign Language
- $65 / h
- San Mateo , California ( 94403 )
- 15 miles
I enjoy teaching. My specialty is being able to adapt the lesson to suit the needs of the student. I like the lesson to be enjoyable and challenging. I use as little voice as possible to encourage students to begin to develop reliance on their visual language reception. Students start using the language during the first lesson. I am Trustline Certified. When I was 17 years old I was introduced to sign language, I was a volunteer with people with special needs. While in college I studied sig... Read more
