I teach math to children in grades 2-5. I rely primarily on
Making Math Real-based methods, using a systematic,
multi-sensory approach that helps children learn math facts
and transition from concrete to abstract levels of problem
solving. Lessons are fun, incorporating games, stories, and
manipulatives, all in a warm, supportive environment. My
goal is to build students' confidence as they improve their
math skills.
I have a teaching credential and over 5 years of experience
teaching math as a private tutor. I have taken all of the
lower grade level Making Math Real courses.
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.''

Now taking reservations for the summer - spots fill up very
quickly!!
I love the kids who need the most help. I am an
experienced, credentialed teacher, taking a break from the
classroom. I have succeeded with children where often others
have not been able to, and have successfully reached the
''difficult'' children, or the children who have different
learning styles, as well as the children who do well in
academic settings. I have helped children and teenagers who
absolutely hate school! I can provide testimonials from
other parents.
I'm happy to email you my resume and a description of my
services if you'd like. I will say up front that I charge
more than some tutors but I am a trained, credentialed
teacher and can be more helpful in less time than many. The
best compliment I have ever gotten from a parent was that
the change in her son was ''miraculous.'' That's why I do it!

Subjects tutored: MS & HS Math, SAT/ACT prep
*Experienced, relatable tutor*
I have 90 hours worth of experience as a student-teacher in BHS Alg II and
Geometry classrooms, as well as one-on-one tutoring for 7th graders.
For two semesters, I have taught SAT Math classes to the BHS Football team

I am a Cognitive Science major, with a minor in Education. I am looking for a
student to tutor that has his family's support to make the big changes-not
just homework help but also study skills and mental math.
I tutor because it is the most effective way to turn around a student's
academic performance. Former students have called me the 'hyphiest' teacher
they've met-I get excited about math!!
$10 for the first hour-long session, $25 otherwise. Special rates available for

Hi, my name is Jessica. I'm 25, but don't let my young age
fool you - I am a great tutor!
Let me tell you about two of my recent students, both of
whom were taking Algebra2/Trig (a very difficult class when
compared to Algebra 1 and Geometry). One went from being
shaky on tests and a C grade to an A- on the final and an A+
in the class in about eight weeks and the other from an F
(33%) to a C- (70%) in about five weeks right at the end of
the semester! References from these or other parents
available on request.
I have tutored ages 10 to 50, from basic fundamental skills
through single variable calculus. No matter whether you have
a current C, D, or F, or even if you have an A or B, I can
help you achieve your goals and even exceed them!

EXPERT MATHEMATICS AND PHYSICS TEACHER
I have tutored for 20 years and taught Math and Physics at
two private high schools in the East Bay. I use clear
explanations and teach with patience, enthusiasm, and humor,
with a strong emphasis on not fearing mistakes.
My classroom is in downtown Berkeley near BART and a parking
garage.
I can work with individuals or small groups, children or
adults. I am also available for SAT or GRE preparation.
From a parent:
''Daniel is always positive and has an amazing way of
keeping a student on task without stressing or frustrating
them. Our daughter avoided math in the past and saw herself
as incapable of succeeding in this domain. Daniel has really
allowed her to overcome her negativity and anxiety. She has
done exceptionally well throughout High School in each level
of math, and we attribute this to Daniel's skill and support.''

--by Credentialed Math Teacher--
Hi everyone! With so many math tutors listed on BPN, why
should you call me?--
I am known for my gentle, patient yet thorough approach.
Students get questions answered and missing concepts
explained. We'll do homework AFTER we review the
material,and then we'll preview the upcoming section. I
taught math in Berkeley Unified and have 10 years' math
classroom experience besides. My specialties are working
with students in grades 6-10, and with bright students who
are discouraged (including adults).--
To keep tutoring accessible to all students, I offer a
sliding scale between $60 - $30. We'll meet in a public
library/coffee shop (high school students only), or I will
come to your home. For reduced fee, come to MY home in
Emeryville.(An adult must supervise at least the 1st visit).--
Invest in a few sessions now to prevent tears of frustration
or apathy later on. Let me help your child (or you) be more
successful in math.

I hold a Ph.D. and a B.S.in economics.I am interested in
tutoring high school students, mainly those taking AP
courses, in Algebra, Pre-Calculus, Calculus, Statistics,
macro/microeconomics, and French.
Over the past 15 years, I taught 40+ courses at UC Berkeley
and other colleges, most of them similar to AP courses
(e.g. Econ1 or Stat20 at UCB).I also tutored my students
during office hours.
Numerous student evaluations evidence my interactive
teaching style. my deep concern about their achievements,
my ability both to create an environment conducive to
learning and to explain concepts very clearly.
I offer one-on-one and small group (3-5) tutoring
(reasonable rates).
Please email me if you wish to schedule a (free)
preliminary appointment. I'll give you detailed information
on my teaching experience and we'll discuss your tutoring
needs, so that you can make an informed decision about
using my services.

Hello Parents,
I'm a recent grad from UC Berkeley with a degree in Economics and an
emphasis on math/stat/econometrics. I'm currently offering private tutoring
while I search for full time work. I tutor math (up through Calculus, Linear
Algebra and some statistics) at the Student Learning Center (SLC) at Cal.
Additionally, I tutored new admits to Cal over the summer as part of UC
Berkeley's Summer Bridge program.
I get along well with most everyone, enjoy helping students, and emphasize a
logic-based approach to learning math (vs. teaching to the test). I think math
is exciting!
Rates are negotiable.

Dear Parents, My name is Vignesh and I am currently a junior
at U.C. Berkeley majoring in Applied Mathematics. I am very
proficient in all levels of mathematics up to Calculus,
Linear Algebra and Differential Equations. I am confident in
my mathematical skills and teaching abilities to ensure that
not only your student succeeds, but he or she is able to
retain the knowledge for his or her lifetime. My background
in mathematics can be evaluated by my 2 years of tutoring
experience as a Math Lab tutor at Ohlone College, during
which time I had maintained 2-4 tutoring jobs outside, and
was able to achieve a 4.0 GPA and high 'A' grades in math
classes. I also graduated from both the Level I & II CRLA
class designed to teach methods to make tutoring more
effective. Lastly, I understand we are facing an economic
crisis so my rates are negotiable and are cheaper than other
private tutoring sources. I hope to talk to you soon! Thank
you, Vignesh

EXPERIENCED Tutor for Math and Science
I am an experienced tutor and have helped many East Bay
students master their math and science coursework. In
particular, I am effective at helping students gain
confidence and proficiency in their courses by guiding them
through the homework while emphasizing the fundamental
aspects of the material.
I am retired from a successful career in scientific research
(geophysics), and this background helps me to explain course
material in terms that students can easily grasp.
My students represent a variety of schools in the East Bay.
Moreover, I have a son in high school and a daughter in
college, so I am familiar with the demands placed on today's
students.
I offer tutoring at my home near Lake Merritt or at a
location of your choice. Please contact me for rate
information or to schedule an appointment.

My name is Dorit Perry and I recently completed my third year teaching
9th and 11th grade English at Berkeley High.
Although I taught English, I have always liked math, particularly
algebra 1 and 2. Before obtaining my teaching credential, I tutored
several students in algebra. I helped them transform their grades, and
more importantly, their understanding of the subject. Once students
understand the language of algebra, they feel confident and
empowered. I love helping them get to that point.
I work with pre-teens, teens, college students, and adults. Resume,
pricing sheet, and testimonials available upon request.
About me: I graduated from UCLA with a 4.00 GPA, earned an MA from the
California Institute of Integral Studies, and hold a CA teaching
credential. Over the past 15 years, I worked as an academic and life
coach for over 1,000 college students, tutored at Score Educational
Centers, and pursued acting in LA.

algebra, trigonometry, calculus, linear algebra, and basic logic and
algorithms. For high school students, this includes the Math AB and BC AP
tests and for UC Berkeley students, this includes math 96, 32, 1A, 1B, and 54.
I have worked as a private tutor for three years as a tutor with the Student
Learning Center at UC Berkeley for 4 years. I am very organized and typically
challenge students to get beyond the mentality of simply ''finishing homework
problems'' and instead learn how to understand the concepts behind the
problems.
My rate is $40/hour.

me.
Feel free to contact me with other questions and references can be provided
upon request.

I am a seasoned middle school math teacher who can help your child learn
Algebra in a way that is easy and fun. My references include letters from the
parents of my students. Math was challenging for me and so I have learned to
scaffold it, explaining it step by step to students. I love Algebra and my passion
for it is infectious. I use different learning modalities to enable my students to
learn the material and try to emphasize real-life applications of math. I've
taught trigonometry and pre-calculus for U.C. Berkeley's Upward Bound program
but prefer to focus on Algebra to enable students to pass the CAHSEE.
