I am a math and science tutor offering in-home lessons for all levels and all learning abilities. I have been tutoring for more than 10 years, and I am a patient and clear communicator. I can help you or your child learn math and physics concepts in a way that makes them clear and simple to understand. I can help improve grades, increase self esteem, and help you learn the material. You can find more detailed information about me and my services on my website at http://www.galaxytutoring.net Kathryn McCarthy galaxytutoring[at]gmail.com 415-335-0350 ----------------------------------------------- Oct 01 2009 Free Initial Tutoring Session! Are you in need of a Free tutoring session for your middle or high school child who is struggling in math, chemistry or physics? I worked as a science/math tutor in NY for three years. I was also a Teacher's Assistant for Chemistry and Physics as well as a substitute teacher at the high school level in all subjects. I had developed a large network of clients through word of mouth in NY but do not have a similar situation here in California as I have yet to start tutoring. After the trial session, rates are $50/hr (Although there is some room for negotiation here depending on your situation. Reduced or free rates are available for those who are going through reduced hrs at work or layoffs). While knowledge of subject matter is important for a tutor, the ability to inspire interest, teach how to learn by oneself, and adjust approach depending on a student's needs are just as vital. Let's help your child meet her full potential.

Mar 10 2009 Hi! I'm a young, experienced tutor and PhD student in chemistry at UC-Berkeley. I have over 7 years of experience teaching and tutoring academically, with The Princeton Review, and being a private tutor. I know biology and chemistry better than I know my OWN MOTHER. And believe me, there are tricks to mastering the material more quickly. I know how busy students are, which is why I have made it my mission to get a student to UNDERSTAND, COMPREHEND, and REMEMBER the material better and faster than ANY tutor out there. What I Tutor: -Any level of high school biology or chemistry, including AP courses -Test preparation for SAT Bio, SAT Chem, and MCAT -Introductory college biology and chemistry courses Check out my website for more information on my background and rates, and feel free to call or email me with any questions! -Joe www.eastbaytutoring.com 510.717.2567 jsweeney@berkeley.edu Joe Sweeney jsweeney[at]berkeley.edu 510-717-2567 ----------------------------------------------- Nov 14 2008 Hi there! My name is Richard and I just graduated this May from UC Berkeley with a degree in Nutritional Science: Dietetics. I am currently working as a Nutrition Assistant at Alta Bates Summit Medical Center. I am available for tutoring in Biology and Nutrition, as well as private Nutrition consulting. My charge $25/hour and have a very flexible schedule. Thank you! Richard Lau richardcurtislau[at]gmail.com
Sep 15 2009 I have MS degrees in both Chemistry and Computer Science, and I've been a math and science tutor for more than five years. I also worked for two years as a high school and middle school substitute teacher. I live in El Cerrito, and I tutor students in my home. I charge $50/hour for high school and $40/hour for middle school. My aim in tutoring is to get students to think more, to improve their understanding so that they can solve more difficult problems on their own. I expect my students to accept the responsibility to come to sessions prepared to ask me questions and to be aware of what they need help with. While I am always willing to use homework as a tool to increase understanding, the student should not see the goal of each session as finishing a particular homework assignment. Students are expected to come to each scheduled session unless there is a serious reason and to make up cancelled sessions. Jim Scott eurekajim327[at]gmail.com 510-525-1759 ----------------------------------------------- Aug 28 2009 Chemistry tutoring available.

David highredshift[at]gmail.com 510-316-8390 ----------------------------------------------- Oct 03 2009 Hi, I got my Ph.D in Physics. I can tutor physics, math and related subjects, such as algebra, calculus. I am now pursuing my post-doctoral career at UC Berkeley. I have gained lots of teaching experience as teaching assistant for physics graduates when I was in graduate school. In my spare time, I have many experiences tutoring high school students. If you need, I can provide reference from my previous student's parents. I love teaching! I have solid background in Physics and math. I know the key of physics and math concepts. I know how to communicate them effectively with students who cannot grasp the concepts in a normal fast pacing class which is lack of personal attention. If you or your child need help, please contact me. I will try my best to help you. The charge is flexible, and absolutely reasonable. I let you determine the charge. I hope that we will have a pleasant experience. Thank you for your time to read this post! Best wishes!
