**UPDATE: Accepting new students for remote tutoring only as of January 2024** Hi! Thanks for taking the time to look at my profile. Let me tell you a little bit about myself to help you decide whether or not I'm the right tutor for you. I taught high school English in Campbell for seventeen years before taking a sabbatical this year. I've taught primarily 10th and 11th grade literature, but I have also taught 9th grade and ELD (a.k.a. ESL). My two greatest passions as a teacher are hel... Read more

Premium Math Tutor with Applied Experience

I have been tutoring all levels of math for over 7 years now. I really enjoy math as a subject, and try to impart the fundamental concepts of math rather than trying to just teach the algorithms. Math really should be about understanding the logic behind it and less about route processes (we have computers for that). A bit about me. I currently do tutoring and statistical consulting full time. I worked at a Fortune 500 tech company for almost 2 years (doing math and statistics) but really e... Read more

I am a 52 year old woman looking for part time work. I have had a lot of transition in my professional life which is to say I have experience in multiple professions. I started working in the "Garment District" in NYC in a fashion showroom. I did that until I moved to Atlanta, GA with my husband for his job, where I obtained a B.S. in Computer Information Systems. I had a successful career in Information Technology until 2003 but departed from that career in 2007 to try a career in Real Esta... Read more

I have 6 years of experience teaching math at inner city schools across the country. I started as a middle school math teacher in Oakland, CA before bouncing out to Boston, MA where I taught GED Math at the county house of corrections. I then returned to middle school math in Washington, DC while garnering experience working for a public charter school. Teachers often say that they learn just as much (if not more) from their students than how much their students learn from them. And while i... Read more

As a student and teacher of chemistry, I often encounter both students and peers alike who struggle with understanding the fundamental concepts of chemistry. This can be a result of how one approaches the subject. Students today are so involved with the high-speed world of technology that they sometimes forget the basic approaches to solving a problem. Many students are so used to searching for a solution through the internet that they sometimes forget to use deductive reasoning, which is... Read more
