Jan 24 2013 I have an engineering Ph.D. from Brown University and a B.A. in physics. I was a physics Tutor and computer science Teaching Assistant (TA) in college and started tutoring again last year. I have taught 7th grade engineering and programming courses at a summer enrichment program and re-vamped a 3rd-6th grade public school literacy curriculum. I love to teach and tutoring is my favorite type of teaching! My tutoring areas are: ? Math ? Science (Physics, Biology, Chemistry) ? Electrical Engineering ? Computer Science ? Test Preparation & Study Skills I am interested in tutoring K-12 and college students. I can do homework help, exam prep and study skills. My rates are flexible and I can come to the student?s home or meet at libraries/cafes/etc. I love explaining things in different ways and using creative analogies and visuals to help people really understand the material. Thanks and have a great day, Laura Mehrmanesh, Ph.D. LMehrman[at]gmail.com (510) 575-9441 ----------------------------------------------- Jan 22 2013 I am currently a fourth-year medical student at the University of California, Irvine School of Medicine.

Maya Debbaneh maya.debbaneh[at]ucsf.edu ----------------------------------------------- Dec 17 2012 Hello all, I tutor students in a broad range of subjects but primarily focusing on chemistry, biology and psychology. I am applying for doctoral programs in clinical psychology at the moment after 4 years working in the pharmaceutical industry. I did my undergraduate thesis in microbiology on a specific type of microbial fuel cells. I've been tutoring for about 2 years now working with undergrads, high school, middle school and grade school age students. My times are very flexible and I have a car. I charge $25/hr. If you have any questions please let me know! Regards, Tom Hirst Tom Hirst thirst84[at]gmail.com 5106040449 ----------------------------------------------- Oct 08 2012 Cal graduate student with a strong passion for science/math education available for tutoring. Can tutor all levels (including AP), as well as exam prep (ACT, SAT, AP, etc.). Tutoring affords your child the extra edge and one-on-one attention that can make all the difference in classes and on exams. My tutoring style emphasizes problem solving skills and conceptualization, rather than focusing on just doing homework problems. We have a good time! I am a recipient of several teaching awards from Cal, and references from parents of current and graduated BHS students available upon request. I have M.A.s in physics and mathematics (from UC Berkeley and Cambridge, respectively). Available most evenings and weekends. Rates depend on travel but are on average ~$65/hour. We can also meet on or near UC Berkeley campus. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have questions. E-mail: mathandphysicsarephun@gmail.com . -Aaron Aaron mathandphysicsarephun[at]gmail.com ----------------------------------------------- Oct 03 2012 Graduated in the top 10% of my class in Biology Pr-med, and have since kept up with pleasure reading on health and nutrition. Physics and Chemistry are integral parts. I am excellent at making analogies which allow students to comprehend at a deep level, and enjoy learning, hopefully sparking life-long curiosity...as opposed to just memorizing the information for the exam. Free no-risk 1-hour trial, to verify a ''fit'' with your son or daughter. $50 for 90 min session at your home afterwards.

Mar 07 2013 I've recently moved to the bay area for school at UC Berkeley, where I am studying Geography, after over five years of teaching in both public and independent schools in New York City- including Elisabeth Irwin (HS to Little Red Schoolhouse), Packer Collegiate, and Horace Mann. I've taught math from 6th grade up to 12th, as well as 9th grade through 12th grade physics, and have extensive tutoring experience as well (including SAT I, and SAT II subject tests). I have worked very hard throughout my teaching career to balance succes on tests with support of the broader intellectual growth of my students, and as a tutor, can work with you and your child in determining how to best meet the short-term, and long-term, goals that you have. Please contact me with any further questions.

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.''
