Project Seed
yes they do have a summer program, though it is
primarily a school year program for educationally underserved
communities. Project SEED has been in existence for probably 30 years
or more, has projects throughout the country. In one who can get their
child into the summer program is fortunate, as it is excellent and is
for all children. I used to teach for them in Los Angeles many years
ago, and my child did the summer program here in Berkeley. At that time
their offices were located on San Pablo, and the program was at the
Berkeley elementary school which is located south of Ashby near the
Claremont hotel. Just try the white pages.

Pari Patten at The Seed Tutoring on Piedmont ave. is the most caring, patient
and nurturing tutor there is . . . perfect for teaching all kinds of kids.
I've seen her transform ''lost'' children into star pupils -- she instills dignity.
We like that.
Her number is 510-655-0934
or theseed@sbcglobal.net

Re: Seeking Several Tutors for College-Bound Teen
I think my best advice would be Study Smarter--it is based
in Piedmont, but they work all over the East Bay. What I
like about them is that they are professional career tutors,
not just a continual revolving door of grad students. I've
worked with many families who have had glowing things to
say. Contact Joel Kosakoff, the director,
or visit the website at
www.studysmarter.com. Good luck!

The Tutoring Center
To the parent looking for a math tutor. My daughter has gone to the
Tutoring Center (on Dwight Way) with Hamayoon as her tutor. She really
liked him and felt he was very helpful. He was pretty flexible in when
he could see her, more often as finals approached, etc. At first I was
dubious since he works with a few students simultaneously but he seems
to have it under control. My daughter likes the social atmosphere.
Good luck.

I highly recommend the Tutoring Center, 2107 Dwight Way (corner of
Shattuck) 849-2700, Homayoon Koushafar, Director. My daughter, who will
be a freshman at BHS this fall, started there last October for help with
Algebra and will be returning in a few weeks to get a head start on
Geometry. I paid $30.00 an hour when she was going twice a week and
$35.00 an hour for once a week.

An excellent grad student who has tutored my two boys in years past, is
Bijan Yashar. He's a Masters student in Education and Fine Arts, is calm
and precise, is on time, and is fairly reasonable with his fee.
His contact number: (510) 665 5994 in Berkeley.
