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!

Hi. My name is Sameer. I'm a UC Berkeley undergrad student
who is interested in tutoring. I live in Berkeley (about 5
min from Berkeley HS). I have privately tutored middle- and
high-school students for Honors/AP classes and SAT exams for
3 years. I can tutor PHYSICS, CHEMISTRY, and any level of
high school MATH (including Honors and AP):

Pre-Algebra
Algebra I & II
Geometry

I take tutoring very seriously. Parents spend their
hard-earned money to help their kids' test scores and
grades. I aim to keep tutoring sessions efficient and make
sure students understand the material before moving on. 

I typically charge 25$/hr, but I am willing to negotiate.

If you have any additional questions, please call, text, or
e-mail. Thanks.

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 
and the YMCA Y-Scholars through a student-led initiative at UC-Berkeley. 

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 am a former elementary school teacher (K-3 mostly). Are

confusing? Let me help.

I have 13 years of classroom experience and many more
working with children and children's programs in various
other capacities (I was once director of Camp Kee Tov here
in Berkeley!). I have a unique ability to connect with young
students through humor, games, and talking to kids with the
respect they deserve--as if they are people.

Please look at my website www.richardsugerman.com and see if
I might be able to help.

I work on a sliding scale. I charge by the hour and my hours
are 60 minutes long! I come to your home. I bill you
monthly. I will do small groups, too.

attending local K-12 and college for the past 9 years (Berkeley, Oakland, 
Albany, El Cerrito).  Having studied at UC Berkeley College of Chemistry (B.S. 
Chemical Biology), my expertise lies in the field of math (from Arithmetic to 
Multivariable Calculus, SAT Math, etc.) and science (biology, physics, computer 
science and, of course, chemistry!).  I've also taught some introductory Japanese 
as I am a native speaker of the language.  Currently I am accepting some more 
students until full.  Contact me with any questions or concerns through my 
email address shown here.  Thank you very much for looking at my ad!

I am a recent graduate from UC Berkeley with a B.A. in 
Physics.

I have over two hundred hours experience TAing classes at 
the EPGY Summer Institutes camp at Stanford University. 
Courses included Special Relativity, Cosmology, and Particle 
Physics. I have also worked for the Teaching Mad Science 
DECAL at UC Berkeley. Through that program I gave a 
thermodynamics demonstration using liquid nitrogen, 
explained torque using mobiles and arm wrestling, and 
created a board game to help middle school students 
understand cellular metabolism.

I pride myself on being exceptionally patient with new 
learners and on approaching new topics using concepts that 
my student is familiar with.

Subjects available for tutoring include Algebra, Geometry, 
AP Calculus, AP Physics, UC Berkeley courses in 
Calculus/Linear Algebra, as well as introductory and non-
major classes in Physics and Astronomy.

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.

I'm an enthusiastic, vivacious Credentialed Middle School 
Math Teacher with 10 years of teaching experience at both 
the middle and elementary levels in Silicon Valley. I'm a 
recent transplant to the East Bay and looking to build my 
tutoring practice closer to home. 

My expertise lies in 5th and 6th grade math, pre-algebra and 
algebra, AND I have a great deal of experience with lower 
elementary grades as well. 

I work on a sliding scale, and welcome working with two 
students at a time. I will work with a small group (3-5) on 
a different fee structure. In addition to tutoring students 
who are challenged by math, I also work with students 
wishing to be challenged and move toward more advanced 
levels of math.

Hello!

I am a fifth-year mathematics major from the University of California, 
Berkeley. I tutor high school and college/university level math, including 
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. 
UC Berkeley students who may be having financial difficulties should email 
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.
