Get ready for finals!  
End the school year on a positive note.  I'm a
professionally trained math tutor with over 10 years
experience.  And I'm a Cal alum (go bears!) with a degree in
theoretical mathematics.  My philosophy is to teach by
example, so that my students can learn by doing.  I believe
in studying smarter and harder, but not in wasting time or
stressing out.

 I am a senior at UC Berkeley getting my degree in math this
May. I have an A.S. degree in math, physics, computer
science, and pre-engineering from community college. I am
applying to graduate school right now to receive a masters
in education. With about seven years experience with
tutoring kids, I have tutored a wide range of kids from
elementary school to high school students taking physics and
calculus. 
        With my experience tutoring, I find the key to doing
well in school is to discover what type of learner the student
is. Many of the kids who struggle with math have been gifted
with the ability to write or visualize, so I make a lesson
plan to incorporate these strengths into the lesson, making
learning math a lot easier, for every student.
        I charge $30 per hour and I am willing to meet any
student in the local area of Berkeley. Feel free to contact
me via
email or phone to ask any questions.

I am a professional teacher working part-time in Berkeley. 
I currently teach high school one-on-one or in small groups,
though I have taught all grades ranging from preschool to
college. Having taught math for about ten years, I have a
very good feel for the subject. I can help students
understand both simple and difficult concepts. I have taught
just about every class from third grade division to AP
Calculus. With my support, instead of trying out another
tutor, you get a professional teacher. I have great
enthusiasm for all subjects that I teach, and I truly
believe that all students can succeed. I am willing to take
extra time where needed, and will do whatever it takes to
reach set goals. My rates are 60 dollars per hour (for two
hours), or 80 dollars per hour (for one hour). Travel time
and weekly email correspondence with students are gratis, as
are any end of session rewards.

I am currently a Ph.D. Graduate Student at UC Berkeley in
Electrical Engineering. I have 3 years of experience
tutoring/teaching courses in a private setting and small groups.

The subjects I tutor are High School Algebra, Geometry,
Trigonometry, and Calculus AB/BC. I can provide preparation
for standardized exams in the aforementioned subjects
(AP/SAT/SAT II) and I myself have scored well on them (SAT
Math 790, SAT II Math 770, AP Calculus 5).

I can tutor at your home or in a public place within 20
miles from Berkeley. My rates are only $20-$30 hour. 

I emphasize intuition and practice. I teach students how to
visualize a never-before-seen-problem, form an analogy to
something simpler, break it down to several steps, and apply
the proper concepts to solve it successfully. I also show
students how to approach exams effectively and assign
problems that target their weak points.

I have been a math professor at UC Berkeley for many years, have teenagers of

There is no such thing as a stupid question. Only unanswered questions which 
lead to stupid results.  So we start right where an individual student is and move 
forward in a supportive atmosphere.   I enjoy tutoring algebra, math analysis, 
and calculus. My rate is $60 per hour.

I am a full-time tutor with over ten years experience.  
I emphasize pre-algebra through calculus BC, but work with 
students at all levels.  I provide all levels of 
PSAT/SAT/ACT and AP calculus preparation.  
    I have a good track record when it comes to turning 
math into a non-trauma for students (and parents).  
Examples:
    * Test questions often go beyond the homework and 
require quick thinking under pressure.  Over the years I've 
learned how to anticipate what the test questions might be 
for a given course.  
    * In many classes concepts are presented too abstractly 
or just too quickly.  Going over these concepts before they 
come up in the classroom allows students to better absorb 
them.   
    Rates:  $70/hour for one-on-one.  
    Location:  My Oakland home or Lafayette office, both 
with easy freeway access.
    Flexible hours, including evenings and weekends.

As a UC Berkeley graduate student, I have taught everything
from arithmetic to third semester calculus and have
experience tutoring even more advanced classes.  If your son
or daughter is preparing for a standardized test, I would be
happy to teach both the material and exam-specific strategies.

My pedagogy is based on that of JHU's Center for Talented
Youth; students are best served by proceeding through the
material at their own paces, with help only when necessary.
 If I work through a problem as an example, the student is
expected to be actively engaged.  I have found that this
approach helps students achieve their goals faster than an
inflexible syllabus.

I have worked with younger students as part of the CTY
program and I am cognizant of the differences between them
and the undergraduates I taught at Berkeley.

I charge $45 per hour with discounts for multiple scheduled
sessions.  My hours are flexible and I am not tied to any
particular location.

math and physics. I teach all levels of math from pre algebra up through 
Calculus. I teach physics as well. I have a car and can travel to your house to 

tutor, or meet you at a convenient place. 
I am no genious. Instead I work very hard to understand the 
material. Because of this, I can pinpoint a students 
confusion and explain material to him/her in a way that 
he/she will understand. I know what sorts of questions 
students will ask (I asked everyone of them when i was 
learning). Your child will not simply get better grades on 
homework because of me. They will have a fundermentally 
deeper understanding of the material.

I hope I have convinced you

Rate: 45$/hour

I look forward to tutoring your son or daughter

My name is Will d'Ambruoso, and I specialize in math
tutoring and SAT/ACT prep.  I taught high school math in
this area for a few years, and I've been tutoring for
several years now.  I am comfortable with all math subjects
through Calculus.  I've worked with all ages, but mostly
high school and middle school students.  My goal is to make
math less intimidating and more accessible.  I have
references from both colleagues and parents upon request.

My rates are flexible and I'm happy to travel.  Give me a
call or shoot me an email, we'll work something out:

I have been teaching and tutoring students in all levels of
mathematics for over 10 years, and I am looking for students
in K-12 and college who would like additional support in
their mathematics classes or SAT prep. I have tutored both
students who want to deepen their mastery of the subject, as
well as students who would like more time to increase their
confidence.

I have just earned a Masters in Education from UC Berkeley,
and I hold a Bachelors in Mathematics from Bates College. I
live in San Francisco but can tutor students in the East Bay
for a nominal fee. My rate is $50/hour for individual
students, and group rates are available.

References and resume are available upon request. Please
contact me with any questions. Im looking forward to
sharing my knowledge and excitement about learning
mathematics with you!

I recently earned my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology. While 
waiting to start a fellowship in 2008, I have decided to 
go back to one of my passions..teaching or tutoring.

I was an assistant professor in a university for 5 yrs 
teaching math and psychology. I have worked extensively 
with children and I am able to use motivation techniques 
to help a client in studying. I tutor on the following 
subjects: Math, English; including test preparation (e.g. 
GRE). I can tutor children and adults. My fee is 
negotiable but is $25 on the average.

I also consult for research (e.g. dissertation) including 
statistical data analyses, and theoretical framework 
formulation.

I live in San Francisco but I am willing to travel to the 
East Bay for in-home tutoring.

I would be happy to share with you my passion for learning 
and provide you ''Tailor-Fit'' service.

    I am a full-time tutor with over ten years experience.  
I emphasize pre-algebra through calculus BC, but work with 
students at all levels.  I provide all levels of 
PSAT/SAT/ACT and AP calculus preparation.  
    I have a good track record when it comes to turning 
math into a non-trauma for students (and parents).  
Examples:
    * Test questions often go beyond the homework and 
require quick thinking under pressure.  Over the years I've 
learned how to anticipate what the test questions might be 
for a given course.  
    * In many classes concepts are presented too abstractly 
or just too quickly.  Going over these concepts before they 
come up in the classroom allows students to better absorb 
them.   
    Rates:  $70/hour for one-on-one; group rates 
available.  References on request.
    Location:  My Oakland home or Lafayette office, both 
with easy freeway access.
    Hours:  Flexible, including evenings/weekends.

I've been tutoring math for ten years, I have a BA in math
from UC Berkeley, but my most important qualification is
that I love my job.  I got good grades, I aced my SATs and
I'm glad to help others do the same.  

My clientele includes both math lovers and those that
haven't yet come around, from first-year algebra to vector
calculus and beyond.  I believe in active learning, which
nurtures independence and curiosity.  

References and resume available upon request, feel free to
contact me with any questions you might have.

I tutor out of my house and am available most weeknights and
weekends and live in northern El Cerrito with my wife and
daughter. 

My hourly rate is $60 and I ask for no less than 1 hr (1.5
recommended) per session. If interested, please contact me

Multisensory math tutoring for students K to junior high by
certificated educational therapist/learning specialist - my
students truly enjoy the varied format and step-by-step
learning via Making Math Real, seeing manifest progress. I
never thought I'd enjoy using my educational skills on math,
of all things, but the Making Math Real teaching program
made me a convert. Tailored to the individual student's
particular needs, it makes a big difference for a lot of
students who currently struggle with math as it is presented
in class.

I love helping students build the confidence math and
science that the crowded classrooms sometimes fail to give
them. I have been tutoring highschool students for three
years now, and I know that busy high school students tend to
lack the initiative and sometimes the study skills they need
to keep up with their coursework. My job is to give students
a place to ask questions about homework, read papers, give a
review of new material, teach problem solving skills for
test-level problems, and teach them how to study effectively
on their own. These important things must come from someone
who not only knows the cirriculum, but someone who remembers
what it was like to learn it for the first time. I meet with
students on a weekly basis, at my home, which is a few
blocks from the UC Berkeley Campus. I can help with all
levels of Math, Science, Spanish and Writing. If you would
like to discuss rates, availability, or set up a meeting
please send me an email.
