Feb 29 2012 Greetings! My name is Chat Hull, and I'm a graduate student in astrophysics grad student at UC Berkeley. I tutor high school- and college-level physics. I have 3 years of experience tutoring athletes at the University of Virginia, 2 years of high-school teaching experience in Virginia and Guatemala, and over 3 years of college teaching and private tutoring here in Berkeley. My rate is $70/hr. I am happy to meet at students' houses (in or near Berkeley is preferable), in my own house in North Berkeley, or in a location central to both parties (library, cafe, etc.). Reference available. I look forward to hearing from you. Chat chat[at]astro.berkeley.edu ----------------------------------------------- Feb 29 2012 My name is Mike Mishail. I'm working towards my masters of arts in education at Cal. I've tutored high school and middle school kids in chemistry and biology for five years now. I do my absolute best to meet your needs. Whether that mean personalized plans, on the fly appointments, regular weekly monthly or whatever appointments. It could even mean combined appointments with a friend at a reduced rate, or longer or shorter sessions at a reduced rate. I only have a bike, so ideally I could tutor somewhere within a two-ish mile radius of Cal campus... Anyway, I charge 50 for regular hour long sessions. If you wanna learn more, don't hesitate to call/text/email me at 5166551254 or michaelmishali@gmail.com or contact the parents of some of my former students for references. Mike Mishali michaelmishali[at]gmail.com 5166551254 ----------------------------------------------- Feb 26 2012 I'm a UC Berkeley graduate with a Bachelors in Molecular and Cell Biology. I'm currently working as a science teacher in Oakland. I have experience tutoring for high school and college level biology, chemistry and physics. I would be interested in tutoring/mentoring for anything related to my previous experience. I live in the East Bay and would love the opportunity to get to know a student and tutor on a regular basis, up to 6 hours a week (sometimes more if necessary). My rate is $50/hour, and may be negotiable depending on your needs and situation. I am available Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday 6 pm-10 pm, and anytime on Saturdays and Sundays. I am willing to meet anywhere within 20 miles of Berkeley.

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.

I charge twenty dollars an hour unless your child qualifies for the Collage Board Fee Waiver Program or a free or discounted school lunch. Resume, references, and high school transcript available upon request. Sean Li oaklandjob[at]hotmail.com ----------------------------------------------- Apr 19 2011 FINISH THE YEAR ON TOP! Is your child having difficulty with science? I am here to help. My approach differs as I start with what a student currently understands and how he/she prefers to learn. This is just as important as knowing your goal. Just as with giving driving directions, you need to have BOTH a starting point and a destination. I received an MA in Education from Stanford in 09, BS from UCLA in 08. From the masters program, I learned how to utilize learning styles as well as how to structure the material to obtain a deep understanding that you will retain beyond the chapter exam. My passion in the education field is working at the 1-on-1 level as I can listen to how a student sees the material and teach it through that lens. ''Using what you know to help you get where you want to be.'' Rate: $40/hr Location: My apartment (1 block from BHS) or your place (extra charge) References upon request Michael Miller mrmiller.science[at]gmail.com 818-648-6031 ----------------------------------------------- Feb 27 2011 I am an experienced science instructor with a graduate background in biology, and am pleased to offer my services as a tutor in science and math for high school and college students.

Peter pgwerner[at]sonic[dot]net ----------------------------------------------- Feb 21, 2011 Hi! Are you looking for someone who can connect well with middle and high school students? Are you looking for someone with previous experience as both a teacher and a tutor? Is your child looking for someone hip and fun to work with? If so, then you've met your gal. I actually enjoy subjects like Biology and can help make them fun and simple to learn. A recent grad with a B.S. in Biology who finished an extensive 3 month internship as a teacher - I can help in all subjects, though I love math and science the most. I have lots of patience and great references. If interested call me at (510) 206-5436 or email at jesssund@gmail.com.

Jan 24 2012 EXPERT PHYSICS AND MATHEMATICS 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.''
