Very experienced Math tutor for middle school (grades 6-8),
high school (grades 9-12), and college. UC Berkeley PhD. I
have tutored individually and taught groups, and I enjoy
teaching and the accomplishment that comes from having
students understand concepts that are explained clearly and
patiently. San Francisco East Bay, especially Albany,
Berkeley, El Cerrito.

Teaching is my passion, I love when students develop confidence in and love for
what they are learning. I taught several levels of math and physics, mostly at
Berkeley High, until losing my hearing, and have been tutoring students from
various high schools since then (now with a cochlear implant). We meet in my
house in north Berkeley. $40 - 50/hour All math classes

When you hire me, you won't be hiring a college or high
school student, but a secondary math teacher with over 10
years teaching experience in Pre-Algebra through Algebra 2
(no statistics). I am patient, yet thorough, and specialize
in working with students who feel a bit insecure or anxious
about math. I will not merely sit with your student while
s/he does homework. I will pre-teach material before the
teacher presents it, and re-teach skills if necessary. My
rates are much lower than other teachers who tutor, but not
because of my ability or my results. I am sensitive to
economic strain of raising children, and want to be able to
support any student who wants to learn math. My regular rate
is $60, but I have cut my prices to $30 per session (or $20
each for groups of 2). All sessions take place in
Emeryville near Trader Joe's. (510) 206-5265

I am an awesome math tutor! I love my subject and love
working with students.
For the last 5 years I have taught high school mathematics
in Oakland. This makes me well aware of the CA standards
and curriculum of middle and high school mathematics.
One of my strengths is using different methods to approach
the same subject, and have had great success helping
struggling students become successful in their math class.
I have all the materials we may need, and can work either in
conjunction with or without the guidance of your students'
teacher.
I only take a few students a year -- no more than 3 weekly
or 4 bi-weekly students. After we established that your
student and I will work well together, I would like a
semester-long commitment.
My rate is $55 an hour. I am happy to work at your home or
a local library or cafe -- wherever your student is most
comfortable.
I am also happy to provide references.

I'm a professional writer and former middle school math teacher, and am
available to tutor students in lower, middle and upper middle school math.
From my experience in the classroom I know that the most effective way to
help students is to break down concepts into terms they can relate to, and to
draw connections between what they're learning and their actual life. My goal
when working with students is to make our sessions not just useful, but
actually fun.
I'm based out of Oakland (Lake Merritt area) and work with students in
nearby libraries and coffee shops. Depending on location, I can also travel to
your home.
Please email me to inquire about rates and availability.

I am an experienced and credentialed teacher, who have
taught (and tutored) all High School Math subjects, up to
and including Calculus. That means Algebra1, Algebra2,
Geometry, Math Analysis, PreCalculus and Calculus.
I have also worked successfully with students who vary from
being struggling students, or average students, to being
bright students, and even had a boy with an IQ of 180(!) once.
Please give me a call (rather than an email) so that we can
discuss this.

I have MS degrees in both Chemistry and Computer Science,
and I?ve been a math and science tutor for more than five
years. I also worked for two years as a high school and
middle school substitute teacher.
I live in El Cerrito, and I tutor students in my home. I
charge $50/hour for high school and $40/hour for middle
school.
My aim in tutoring is to get students to think more, to
improve their understanding so that they can solve more
difficult problems on their own. I expect my students to
accept the responsibility to come to sessions prepared to
ask me questions and to be aware of what they need help
with. While I am always willing to use homework as a tool
to increase understanding, the student should not see the
goal of each session as finishing a particular homework
assignment. Students are expected to come to each
scheduled session unless there is a serious reason and to
make up cancelled sessions.

Hello: I recently retired from a career in scientific
research (geophysics), and am tutoring students in math and
science (grades 6-12).
I have a son in highschool and a daughter starting a UC
Berkeley, and am aware that students today are busy with
schoolwork, sports and/or other activities. Because kids
today are so busy, they often find it difficult to identify
the most important concepts taught in their classes.
My approach is to help the student gain confidence and
proficiency over their course material by guiding them
through their homework, and identifying and emphasizing the
fundamental aspects of the material in term they can relate to.
I tutor at my home on Lakeshore Ave in Oakland or at your
location. Rates and references available upon request. I am
registered with Care.com. My profile is posted at
www.linkedin.com/in/scblair

I teach math to children in grades K-6. I rely primarily on
Making Math Real-based methods, using a systematic,
multi-sensory approach that helps children learn the math
facts and transition from concrete to abstract levels of
problem solving. Lessons are fun, incorporating games,
stories, base-10 blocks and other manipulatives, and
opportunities for movement, all in a warm, supportive
environment. My goal is to build each student's confidence
level as they improve their math skills.
I have a teaching credential and over 4 years' experience
teaching math as a private tutor. I have taken all of the
Making Math Real courses except algebra. My tutoring space
is in Berkeley, near Ashby and Telegraph Aves.
A satisfied parent had this to say: ''Nancy is absolutely
fantastic. She is extremely well prepared and maximized
every tutoring minute. She is patient, kind and
compassionate. . . . Rest assured that your child will be
safe, loved, and expertly taught.''

Hi,
I am a 19 year old high-school graduate. I will be going to the University of
Chicago in mid september, but until then I will be in Berkeley and will be
available for math tutoring. I have been tutoring for the past 5 years, and at
this point have extensive experience in Pre-algebra, Algebra I and II,
Geometry and Trigonometry. I have also tutored Calculus I before, and would
have no problem with that either. I have taken Calculus II and Linear Algebra
but never tutored them before- if someone were interested in getting help at
that level, I would of course be willing to try it.
I can help prepare for the SAT, improve your grade and understanding in a
general math class, or any other area where you may need help.
I offer a free trial session, and after that I charge $25 an hour.
if you are interested, I can send recommendations upon request.
Many thanks, and hopefully until soon.

way they can best learn and retain math facts and concepts.
I successfully help students overcome difficulties with;
1) basic number sense and place values
2) addition and subtraction
3) developing automaticity with multiplication and division
math facts
4) multiple digit multiplication and long division
5) understanding fractions and performing the four math
operations with fractions
6) understanding the relationship of fractions, decimals
and percents
7) understanding algebraic concepts
8) understanding word problem strategies, including
algebraic word problems.
I have openings now and for the coming school year. Please
contact me if you would like to find out more about my
rates, approach and background.

I have taught high school math for the last five years with a focus on algebra,
geometry and precalculus. I have worked extensively with students one-on-
one and have a good idea of what does and doesn?t work. If you need a more
personalized approach to math, or someone who can make sense of it, then
give me a try. I can make difficult concepts clear, and I will work with
students until they can solve the problems on their own. Hopefully, I can
make the material feel less like work and more like a fun challenge. I will
tutor anything through first semester calculus. I am open for the summer,
and for the school year as I will be teaching part-time. My general approach
is to set short-term and long-term goals and then to focus on the work at
hand. My rates are $60 an hour, and I have stellar references. Please contact
me with any questions.

Ever since I was in high school I have loved helping kids to understand math.
For so many people this subject is either terrifying or duller than watching
paint dry, and usually this is either because of teachers who bully rather than
teach, or teachers who hate their job and don't teach it with any passion. You
don't have to be a genius or a nerd to do it, and I can help your child not only
pass the classes but maybe even learn that it's not such a bad subject after
all. I have taught grades 5-12 in all levels up to calculus with the patience
and enthusiasm it takes to undo all those math stigmas. Mathematics is
important because it is the building block for everything else from science to
music, and ANYONE CAN BE GOOD AT IT! Like everything else in life it just
takes practice. My rates are usually $50/hour, $30 per half hour, and $70 for
two hours - although we could also discuss things like monthly rates. Feel
free to email me with any questions. Thanks!

Hi,
I am a recent UC Berkeley graduate in Applied Math, looking
to tutor high school students.
I have developed a thorough knowledge of the subject, and
general strategies for working effectively with abstract
concepts. I have experience applying mathematical concepts
in practical areas, and an ability to lucidly convey them.
I am prepared to help with:
Algebra, Geometry, Precalculus, AP Calculus, AP Statistics,
anything else math-oriented at a high school level.
Three semesters of physics for science students have also
adequately prepared me to tutor physics through the AP level.
I have tutored before in math and programming while still a
high school student, but since I am just starting out after
a long gap, I'll be charging a very competitive rate of $25
an hour.
Please email me if you're interested. My schedule is
currently very flexible.
Thank you,

I am a parent of three children at the college, middle
school and elementary school levels, all excelling in math.
Though none of my children has been as passionate about
math as I am, with my help, each of them has excelled in
the subject in school. In addition to helping your child
become a better math student, I can help your child see how
easy, elegant and beautiful this subject can be.
I teach at my home in the Berkeley Hills. Teaching at your
home can be arranged. Please contact me at
eblanter@sbcglobal.net with any questions.
Thank you. Elena

ABOUT ME
My name is Kellen Freeman and I am a third year mathematics
major at UC Berkeley. I have future goals of becoming a
teacher or a professor (learning toward the latter) and am
constantly working to hone articulate and effective modes of
teaching so that students can understand that math isn't as
hard as it may seem.
EXPERIENCE
I have tutored undergraduate math (pre-calculus, calculus,
multivariable calculus, linear algebra and differential
equations) with the campus' Student Learning Center, along
with tutoring general high school mathematics such as
algebra, geometry and trigonometry with the Bridell Institute.
RATES AND OTHER
I currently charge $30/hr and I live on the southside of the
Berkeley campus. If you are near there (preferably within
biking distance) I can meet at your home or somewhere on the
UC Berkeley campus, however I am rather flexible.
Thanks,

Hi all,
I have just finished my first year at Columbia University
SEAS and I'm looking for some tutoring gigs this summer. I
will be declaring my applied mathematics major this fall
when I return to NYC. I graduated from Berkeley High School
last year, so I can help in any mathematics subject offered
there (except possibly AP stat since it has been three years
since I've taken that class). I'm also willing to tutor
multivariable calculus, ordinary differential equations, and
perhaps linear algebra. I've been tutoring since 8th grade,
and was an Algebra 2 TA in my sophomore year at Berkeley
High. I'll be around in Berkeley all summer, and will have
my own transportation. My rate in NYC was $30/hr, so I will
charge that here as well. Email me if you're interested.
My university email is gaz2103@columbia.edu if you want to
verify that I am a student there. Hope to hear from you soon!

Effective individual learning support in elementary and
middle school math preferably utilizing the Making Math Real
strategies I have found to be most enjoyable and efficient
in laying the conceptual foundations and reinforcing
required skills. As a certificated educational therapist I
can draw on rich experience with a range of learning
differences that can affect math performance, such as
dyslexia, visual, memory or attentional problems, ADHD,
NLD,or Autistic Spectrum Disorders such as Asperger's,
High-Functioning Autism or PDD-NOS. Students truly enjoy my
sessions and perform demonstrably better.

I am a Masters student at Mills College in Oakland, and have
just completed my BA from Oberlin College in Astrophysics
and Music Composition with a Mathematics minor.
Since high school, I have been involved in mathematics
tutoring, from Algebra I, to Calculus II and SAT prep. I
can tutor all ages from youngsters just beginning to learn
math to older students embarking on multivariable calculus
and beyond.
I am very patient and reliable. My greatest strength is
that I am good as seeing math problems from different angles
and thus can help a student understand the problem in the
way that makes the most sense to them. I believe that to
truly learn mathematics it is far more important to focus on
concepts than memorization, and knowing the ''why'' of
concepts is essential for building a strong mathematical
foundation.

Hi Parents!
I'm currently a UCLA student majoring in math and minoring
in Social Thought. I graduated Berkeley High in 2007, so I'm
very familiar with the curriculum there. But I'm comfortable
with all high school math including Calculus and college
tests including SAT I, SAT II, ACT, and AP test material. I
have a flexible schedule and a car so I accommodate your
child's busy schedule. (It can get crazy, I know.) I have
tutored math for the past two summers, so I'm an experienced
tutor and I know what works. Email is preferable, but feel
free to call me.

I am a recent UCLA graduate in International studies on track to start law
school in the Bay Area this fall. I have a tremendous enthusiasm for
education and children and have spent many years tutoring kids K-12 in all
subject areas, but usually with an emphasis in math. During all four years of
my undergraduate study at UCLA I volunteered with two tutoring programs:
Watts Tutorial and Amigos de UCLA. Both programs are dedicated to
providing free tutoring and mentoring for at-risk and disadvantaged youth.
While I was not a math major in college, I received a perfect score on my
Advanced Placement Calculus test and feel comfortable tutoring basic math
skills through AP Calculus. Additionally, I have taken two years of college
level Spanish and could offer some Spanish grammar tutoring as well as
tutoring in chemistry, physics, history, english and some SAT prep. I have my
own car and a very flexible schedule. Please contact me via email if you're
interested.

There is still 8 weeks left of school, still time to turn
things around if we so wish!
As a high school math teacher, I have an understanding of
the mathematics, the curriculum, what comes before, and what
follows in your student's path through mathematics. This
means that if your child is lost, or needs direction on what
to work on, I will know what how to guide them, and what is
important.
I honestly like students, love my profession, and am really
curious about our mathematical thought processes. This
helps me develop a good rapport with students which is so
very important to their success.
Please email me for information about my rate and
availability (I only take on a few students a year). Thank
you and best of luck!

Hello: I recently retired from a career in scientific
research (geophysics), and am tutoring students in math
and science (grades 6-12).
I have 2 kids in highschool and am aware that students
today are busy with schoolwork, sports and/or other
activities. Because kids today are so busy, they often
find it difficult to identify the most important concepts
taught in their classes.
My approach is to help the student gain confidence and
proficiency over their course material by guiding them
through their homework, and identifying and emphasizing
the fundamental aspects of the material in term they can
relate to.
I tutor at my home on Lakeshore Ave in Oakland or at your
location. Rates and references available upon request. I
am registered with Care.com. My profile is posted at
www.linkedin.com/in/scblair
Thank you for your consideration.

I am Leif Meyer. I have been a private tutor in Berkeley for five years. My
approach is creative and metaphorical. I taylor my teaching style to the
individual goals and learning style of each student. I specialize in
Mathematics and Chemistry.
I graduated from Berkeley High School in 1998 and from Beloit College in
2002, Summa Cum Laude. I have always had a knack for teaching and for

Hi everyone,
I am currently a third year Mechanical Engineering fulltime
student at UC Berkeley, and I would like to use some of my
free time to tutor either math (from pre-algebra to
calculus, statistics) or physics for some extra cash to pay
for food. As you can see Im willing to charge a lot less
than most other private tutors.
Credentials:
-I have just finished tutoring a senior in high school
(also $20/hr) for AP Calculus, so feel free to ask me for
the reference.
-I have a 3.5 GPA in Mechanical Engineering at the end of
my Junior year.
-In high school, I scored a 5 on AP Calculus (BC), AP
Statistics, and AP Physics. Additionally, I scored an 800
on SAT II Math and SAT II Physics.
**** Since you probably want to test me out before you
start paying, the FIRST SESSION IS FREE, so you can see if
your son/daughter and I are a good fit.
Thanks!
