High school math

May 2008

We have recently discovered an excellent math tutor in Pleasant Hill, who has taught at our local high school. She knows the format of teaching for the current California texts and has adapted very well to teaching from our daughter's home schooling text, using the Saxon method. She has made a positive difference for our child, who is learning Algebra 1. She charges $60 per hour, and her name is Kellie Paredero. Her phone number is (925) 787-8747 , and her email is: kellieparedero@comcast.net Vicki vichabra[at]yahoo.com

Nov 2007

Can anyone recommend a good calculus tutor for a high school student. We live in the Oakland Hills near Berkeley. Thanks Doris


If you are looking for a great tutor, you should give Paul Osborne, Paul the Tutor, a call. He is expensive but excellent. He also has many contacts, so if he is not the right tutor for you, Paul can usually find the tutor who is. His number is (510) 301-5302.

Julia Clements is a wonderful tutor. You can call her at 655.2570. Best of Luck. Michelle

Math tutor for 9 year old girl

Nov 2007

I am looking for an experienced tutor for my 9 year old daughter. Primarily math but possibly language arts also. We are in Alameda and would prefer someone local who has experience with elementary school children. Also prefer someone who is a good listener and motivator -- my daughter has low self-esteem and does not think of herself as a good learner. Concerned Alameda parent


Sounds like my neighbor would be a perfect fit for your daughter! She is an experienced, credentialed teacher who has worked primarily with 4th and 5th graders. She's wonderful, great with kids, really talks their language and kids really seem to respond to her. She isn't teaching right now, because she has a baby so she tutors. She is also located in Alameda. Her contact info is: Phone # 510 847 0444. Email kelley.seltzer[at]gmail.com Kerri
My good friend, Kelley Seltzer, lives in Alameda and has taught 4th and 5th graders for 7 years. She is currently staying home with her daughter and is tutoring students from home (she also tutored when she was teaching full time). I know all of her students love her and she does more than just go over homework with her students - she makes her sessions interesting and accommodates different learning styles. You can contact her at kelley.seltzer[at]gmail.com or at 510-847-0444. Brooke
Call Suzie McLean, a recently retired 3rd-grade teacher, and Educational Therapist with lots of Making Math Real training. She's great: warm, experienced, and creative. 501-4159

Pre-Calculus tutor for 12th grader

Nov 2007

I'm looking for a 12th-grade Pre-Calculus tutor for my daughter. She'll need at least two hours a week from January through April/May, possibly more as she prepares for tests. I'd like the tutor to come to our home in Oakland (Lakeshore Area).


Paul Gee helped my daughter with Pre-Calc math tremendously. My daughter felt that she understood the math concepts much better once Paul explained it to her. Paul can be reached at 510-502-8465. Good luck. JS
I would also recommend math and science tutor Debra Gipsman at 510-710-4781 ks

Math tutor in Alamo for 5th grader

Oct 2007

Hello...We are looking for a tutor for our 11 year old (5th grade) son. Although a bright child, he seems to lack some motivation and confidence in his abilities. We, and his teacher, are concerned that he won't be ready academically for what is to come once he enters middle school next year. We would like referrals for a math and reading comprehension tutor who would come to our home. We think a male tutor would be a better fit for him; one who is sincere and warm, knows how to motivate a child (who might think he knows more than he does!), and possesses a sense of humor. Thanks in advance.


Check out The University of Learning in Walnut Creek: www.LearnAtTheU.com. Active learning through hands-on activities. Small, personalized classes. Private tutoring available. Mariessa
Paul Osborne is a great, motivational tutor with quite the sense of humor. He is in Berkeley but does make home visits throughout the Bay area. He can be reached at 510-301-5302. onika

Math Tutor Needed- Elementary school

Oct 2007

I am in need of finding a math tutor for my son. He is in elementary school and needs a lot of remedial assistance with number sense, basic concepts, and key operations. He has learning disabilities so the tutor needs to have a foundation in educational therapy or neuropsychology. We have tried the making math real route and at this juncture think a different approach may be more appropriate for him. Someone in or close to Berkeley is optimal, but more important is the right person who can connec with him yet be firm and disciplined. I know of some people, but interested in knowing who else is out there. Any suggestions? Anonymous


My wife and I highly recommend Pam Marquardt at Grasshopper Tutoring in Berkeley (Cedar and Shattuck) as an elementary-through middle school tutor. Our daughter (now in 5th grade) is dyslexic and has struggled in school. She has made dramatic progress in both reading and math with Pam's help. Note from my daughter: Hi my name is annie and Pam helps me with math. I have dyslexia. I met pam and I learnd how to live with it. If you go on the web site you will see me! Her website is grasshoppertutoring.com NIck

Leba's focus on self-esteem building as well as the academic skills is very evident and has made a huge difference in our family.

In response to the request for a great middle school tutor, we have been working with Syretta Watkins. She graduated from Cal in December 2006 with a B.A. in Applied Mathematics and she is fantastic.

She is really reasonable, really sweet and very comforting. I really like her approach. My 8th gradeer loves working with her. You can email her: swatkins[at]berkeley.edu or phone: (408) 595-7865 Cindy M
Paul Osborne (Paul The Tutor) is a great tutor and works with lots of students from Piedmont. His office is actually on Piedmont Ave., though he does do some house calls as well. He is a great tutor. He charges $100/hr in his office and $125 to come to your house. He also has other tutors who work for him who are less expensive ($50-60/hr in the office and a bit more in your home) and whom he has trained. You can find out more or send him an email on his website www.paulthetutor.com or give him a cal at (510) 301-5302. I hope this helps, - - a Parent and a Teacher
Leba Morimoto is an outstanding math tutor - perceptive, positive, patient and a gifted teacher.

My daughter started tutoring when she went to Julia Morgan School for Girls. She is now a Freshman at Bishop O'Dowd; she primarily tutors middle and elementary school students. She works to help kids who are stuggling with Math to connect the dots... often times they are missing one important concept which makes going forward difficult. Some students find it helpful to work with someone else close to their own age. Call her if you are interested. Her fee is $15.00 per hour. Kate Drew (510 339-3787

Good tutor for BHS Math Analysis

March 2007

I would like to recommend Paul Gee as a math tutor. he has been tutoring my daughter for her junior year Math Analysis class at Berkeley High. He has helped her to understand and appreciate the work, but most importantly he has helped her with her self confidence through his encouragement of a student who has previously been very anxious and intimidated by math tests. As a result, her test scores have steadily increased. he has been a joy to work with. lj


Tutor for AP Statistics

March 2007

We are looking for a tutor for my son for AP Statistics, just until mid May(preferably in Berkeley). He has senioritis and this is the class jeopardizing his bright future! I see lots of Math teachers in the archives, but not all are comfortable with tutoring Stat.


My daughter had an excellent AP Stat tutor through Classroom Matters. Karen
Paul Osborne (Paul The Tutor) has a very wide range of subjects which he will tutor, including statistics along with all maths, sciences and some reading and writing work. His phone number is (510) 301-5302. There is more information up on his website (www.paulthetutor.com), and you can email him from there as well. teacher and parent

Geometry tutor for girl 14

Dec 2006

My daughter is a ''formerly'' very good math student taking Geometry in high school. She still likes math but is so disconnected from the teacher and her teaching style that she is just doing the minimum. She is open to tutoring - especially because she likes math and would like to have a better grasp and a more enjoyable experience. She prefers a youngish female tutor, our home or outside somewhere. Any recommendations?


Our son is currently taking geometry and had huge problems with the material early in the school year. His math teacher recommended a tutor named Michael Metzger who, I believe, is also a credentialed teacher. Our son started working with Michael in early October and we saw measurable improvements right away. Now, our son consistently scores in the mid 80's on tests and quizzes and is confident with the class and material. It is so nice to see our son happy again and confident in his abilities and capabilities. We highly recommend Michael. He can be reached at 510.499.5643 or metzgersf[at]yahoo.com. Good luck

Math Tutor Recommendation
PAUL GEE has a gift at unlocking the doors of knowledge. He tutored my 11th grade daughter in Math Analysis (Pre-Calculus) last year and helped her to get an A. My daughter saids ''Paul makes the math so easy to understand.'' I am very appreciative of his help and will certainly be using his services again this year. You can reach Paul at 502-8465. L.B.


Jan 2007

Hi every one. I saw a lot of recommendation for Math tutors so I had to recommend my daughter's tutor. Her name is Melissa, very energetic and very smart. She has been tutoring my daughter since she was a freshman in high school. My daughter is a senior now. My daughter hated Math and now is loves it. Well Melissa knows all the math subjects and Statistic (the honor class) and it has been just great. I didnt have to look for a different tutor every year. If my daughter decides to go to a close by school I will still continue having Melissa tutoring her. Her rate is very reasonable and she is a UC Berkeley alumni. Her email is: radmelissa[at]yahoo.com

I want to recommend my son's math tutor, Paul Gee, for both math and science tutoring. Paul is patient and understands the needs of my rather distracted seventh grader. In addition to helping him understand algebra concepts, he has also provided him with techniques for staying focused during tests. My son looks forward to his visits and his test scores have definitely improved. Paul Gee: 502-8465

Hi, I am looking for a math tutor for my son who is currently at BHS in 11th grade. He struggles with math and is taking albegra 2B this semester.A college student or graduate in math with car would work best. once a week/hour. We live in north Berkeley. thanks for any recommedations you may have. mona


I would like to give an extremely enthusiastic recommendation for my daughter’s Algebra tutor, PAUL GEE. My daughter’s math grade has jumped from a B to an A with Paul’s help. She has had other tutors before, but said Paul is her favorite. “I feel very comfortable working with him. He always encourages me to try, but gives me good suggestions when I need it.” He is currently helping her with Algebra II as well as SAT preparations. Paul has a very good way with young people. He has a good balance between sensitivity to her feelings and keeping the session focused. Math is not on her list of favorite subjects, but her interest and confidence has grown a lot with his encouragement. He has also helped her with her science lessons at some of their meetings. I highly recommend Paul for students at all levels. You can reach Paul at 510-502-8465. Jessica
Crosby Burns, 949.584.4016. He is a very smart UCB student who helped my daughter. He will bike to your home. His rates are reasonable. Since my daughter just left for college we have not needed him this year. I hope he is still around. lyrinda
I highly recommend Paul Osborne, aka Paul the Tutor. He is tutoring my 10th grade son and also my 7th grade niece. He is great at connecting with kids, getting across the concepts so they really understand it, and even relating HS math to real life. You can check out his website at www.paulthetutor.com . My son thinks he's great! Lisa

I highly, highly recommend Erika Smith.  email: 
riceandsmith[at]earthlink.net

My daughter is at AHS and was having severe problems with 
Algebra II.  She has a moderate learning disability that 
affects her ability to read and take tests.  Too late in 
the game I found Erika.  After one quarter of tutoring, my 
daughter's grade went from a D to a B.  She began to enjoy 
math.  Erika not only knows math but is extremely patient 
and specializes in kids with learning disabilities

---- Jul 03 2006 My daughter has been extremely happy with her algebra tutor, AARON MAZEL-GEE. With Aarons help, she has dramatically improved her math comprehension, and raised her grade from a B- to a solid A. Aaron has tutored all levels of math from 6th grade arithmetic to college level calculus. His teaching experience ranges from being a summer camp counselor, a swimming instructor, as well as being a math specialist in a private school. He is fun and dynamic, with a flare for relating to young people. My Daughter said: I was hesitant to work with a tutor, but Aaron is really cool. He makes math come alive for me. He has helped my daughter with SAT preparation as well as preparing for next years math course. We could not recommend him more highly. Aaron can be reached at amazelgee[at]gmail.com or 510-486-1221.

July 2006

Paul Osborne, Paul The Tutor, is doing his School Readiness classes again this August. I have seen these classes do a wonderful job of getting students ready for math and science classes. Courses last one week, and he does a different course for each math level from pre- algebra to algebra 2 and for chemistry. He should have information about these classes on his website www.paulthetutor.com You can also reach him by email at paulthetutor[at]paulthetutor.com or by phone at 510.301.5302

June 2006

Can anyone recommend a fun, dynamic and competent math tutor for a soon-to-be 4th grader? Our son needs work on math concepts and multiple-step math problems. He very much needs to be inspired, so the personality of the tutor is key. He loves young adults and high school students, but he also loves older adults who are fun and have an easy repoire with kids. We couldn't find many postings on BPN for tutors at the elementary-school level. We live in Albany. Thanks very much


Hi, I would like to recommend my friend David Freedman. He is a great person and really good with kids. He has been teaching elementary school-age kids for years. Here is his website: www.math4life.net. His phone number is (510) 549-3506 and email is derfree[at]lmi.net. Good luck! nadja
If you're willing to drive your son to Alameda, I can recommend a GREAT math tutor: Michelle Liotsakis (510)769-6842. A former classroom teacher, Michelle has been working with my soon-to-be 5th grader since last August and my daughter loves working with her. I don't think my daughter will ever be a math major, but she no longer defines herself as someone who ''can't do'' math. Michelle tutors individually or in shared tutoring sessions if the students are at the same level. Plus, this August she's having Power Math Camp. Give her a call. As my daughter told a friend, ''Math is fun with Michelle!''


Jan 30 2006

Hello fellow parent
I would like to recommend my daughter's tutor Melissa. She 
is very kind and understanding. She knows the subject 
well, and helped my daughter understands all the ''whys'' in 
Math. Now my daughter can solve math problems with very 
little difficulty. Melissa even spends time communicating 
with my daughter via email anytime she has a problem, 
which I think is super. Melissa lives in Albany and can 
meet you even on the weekends. Her email address is 
radmelissa[at]yahoo.com and her rate is $30 hr.

Jan 03 2006

I would like to enthusiastically recommend our math tutor, Leslie Bryan.

In eighth grade our kids were getting good grades in math but clearly did not understand math concepts. By teaching our kids to UNDERSTAND math concepts instead of just memorizing them, Leslie enabled one son to test into Geometry at one of the best high schools in the Bay Area and the other (already in High School) to be able to transfer math concepts to other subjects.

Leslie assesses learning styles, holds students to their highest standard, and is very helpful in coordinating with school teachers and helping us (the parents) assess what is working at school and what is not. She teaches study skills that apply to all subjects.

Her number at the Abelian Group Math School is 510 841- 0784

Dec 2005

Looking for a inspiring math tutor who can also help with general study skills and motivation for a bright, underachieving 16 y o boy.


Paul Osborne, Paul the Tutor, is a wonderfully inspiring tutor who specializes in students who need more than simple academic refreshing. He can connect with the most unmotivated and obstinate students, both as a hip young guy, and by teaching students how to approach school as a means for learning to think better. In the process Paul gives students a thorough understanding of their subject matter, and can turn around the most challenging student. As a teacher, I am privy to much of the work he does and successes he has. I recommend him to many parents, and hear similar praise from them. He has a website, www.paulthetutor.com You can reach him by phone at 510.301.5302. He specifically asked me not to post his e- mail address, but you can send him an e-mail from his website's contact page at www.paulthetutor.com/contact.php Good Luck, Marta
Nov 09 2005

Leslie at Abelian math has been tutoring my daughter for two years now, and it has been a wonderful and productive experience, literally zero to trig. My kid has gone from math phobic to thinking of herself as a math geek. (''Maybe I'll major in math.'') Leslie is very good at finding a child's strengths and going from there. She is very clear on what needs to be learned, and doesn't ask for busywork. I couldn't recommend her more highly. She has an office down by Strawberry Creek -- you can hang out and have a yummy Zeste Cafe snack while you wait. Her number is 841-0784. laura

If you need a math tutor, call Avi Shragai at 524-6454. He's an experienced and kind tutor, available for algebra, geometry, calculus and statistics. Avi is an advanced math student and senior at El Cerrito HS. $20/hour. Merry S.

Aaron Mazel Gee has tutored my son Pablo, a freshman at Berkeley High since September 2004.

The whole experience has been very pleasant. Once a week Aaron would call to reconfirm the time and place and make sure it worked for everyone. Then when he would get together with Pablo, he would explain the math and help Pablo with his homework. Pablo was always happy to go and liked the way Aaron worked with him. The result has been very satisfying. Pablo has good grades and seems to understand what math is all about.

I recommend Aaron wholeheartedly. He is patient, fun, accommodating and knows how to talk to younger kids. Needless to say, he has a very advanced understanding of math as well as good teaching skills.

Sincerely, Catherine


Jun 10 2005

I would like to recommend an excellent math tutor, Aaron Mazel-Gee. He has helped my son a great deal to catch up and cope with his high school math analysis class. I feel that my son feels as ease with him because they are so close in age and Aaron never talks down to his students; Aaron is young enough to easily connect with the high school students he works with. Aside from being a great role model, he is very conscientious and dedicated. He is prepared to assist with students in high school math, advanced math and SAT. Contact Aaron at aaronmazelgee AT yahoo.com.

May 2005 - I'd like to recommend a wonderful math and physics tutor, Ankur Rupani. My daughter is a junior at ECHS and was at her wit's end last semester with both pre- calculus and physics. Ankur started with her in November and by the end of January, both her grades and her confidence had significantly improved. She's continued to work with him this semester in preparation for the SAT and feels well prepared for the test next weekend. In addition to private tutoring, Ankur plans to offer SAT courses as well beginning this summer. He's very patient and gentle - wonderful for the math phobic!. See his website www.integraltutoring.org or email him at ankur_rupani2000 AT yahoo.com Good Luck! Lori


Dec 2004 I am inspired to recommend Nick Baughman (510-548-9322)as a math tutor. He has mastered the science of tutoring students enrolled in Berkeley High Math classes. He prefers to work with small groups of 2-3 students rather than with individuals which means his hour and a half sessions are more reasonably priced. My son's grade in math analysis with Mr. Henri has improved markedly, so he is doing something right! Virginia
Sept 2004

We would like to recommend our 13 year old son's wonderful math tutor, Aaron Mazel-Gee. Aaron is a senior at Berkeley High and takes advanced math classes at CAL. He is soft spoken, patient and able to explain math in terms of concepts - not just numbers. He is also a great role model - a thoroughly modern (read: very cool) teenager who excels academically and still finds time for friends and a wide variety of outside interests. He has even been a summer camp counselor! Contact Aaron at aaronmazelgee at yahoo.com and tell him Susan sent you.


Sept 2004

I would like to recommend Jennifer Dillon as a very competent Math tutor. She worked with my Berkeley High student last year in Geometry, and she will be working with her again this year in Algebra II. Jen is able to tutor in all areas of Math, at multiple levels. My daughter enjoys working with her, and is now understanding almost everything in her homework. Jennifer Dillon can be reached at 845-6348. She lives within walking distance of Berkeley High. shelley

I would like to update contact information for a fantastic math tutor. Brian has tutored my children in middle school Algebra and will be continuing to do so for Algebra in BHS. He is very engaging and manages to make math really cool. Brian Tucker has an MBA and has taught for a number of years, most recently teaching college level business and mathematics. He may be reached at 510-923-1078 and briantucker94612 AT yahoo.com Thank you. Karen


March 2004

If you are seeking a math tutor for your Middle School or High School student - look no further! Our son's wonderful tutor, Aaron Mazel-Gee is currently accepting new clients. Aaron, a Berkeley High School student (and former Camp Kee Tov counselor) who takes advanced math classes at CAL, has been tutoring our 7th grader for the past several months with great success - semester grade went from a C- to an A! To quote our son, ''He knows how to talk to kids and how to explain math concepts in ways that are, you know, not just numbers. Before I met him I was afraid that he would be this nerdy math guy, but he's not. He's a really cool guy and I like hanging out with him.'' Hey - can't get any better than that! You can contact Aaron at aaronmazelgee AT yahoo.com. Tell him Susan sent you! susan
