Parent Recommendations for Multiple Subject Tutors

Mar 19 2013

Are you in need of a tutor who can help your child with all
their school needs - from improving grade scores to getting
more organized or prepared for tests? Would you like an
experienced teacher that has also tutored and enjoys even
the tough subjects? Then I may be your gal. I have B.S. in
Biology and enjoy learning and passing along my excitement
for both math and science. I'm animated and have a sense of
humor which helps kids have fun without even knowing it and
I connect easily on their level. And most importantly, can
build their self-confidence and ?can-do? attitude. I can
teach kids how to get good grades and instill self-
discipline. I'm equally well versed in other subjects as
well. If that sounds like something your family needs,
please contact me at JessSund@gmail.com

Hi parents and students,
For the better part of 11 years, I have been tutoring junior
high and high school students in multiple subjects and
preparing them for the most common entrance exams. I teach
all levels of math, science, English/writing, Spanish and
SAT/ACT/ISEE/SSAT/HSPT/GRE exams.

I work primarily with private students but have found small
group scenarios quite workable for students of similar
levels who are preparing for academic or standardized exams.

I style my test prep programs to the specific needs of my
students, so efficiency and score gains are maximized. And
while I don't de-emphasize the importance of the exams, I
try to impart a sense of perspective and humor into the
sessions.

Although I live in Berkeley, I work in many regions of the
northern Bay Area, San Francisco included.

Rates are negotiable but typically run about $80/hour.
Group sessions are much cheaper per student.

Thanks and good luck!

I have only one spot left for Jan 2013!

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!

email better than phone for contacting me.

Do you have a young student struggling with math or reading/writing? Are you exasperated due to the homework wars?

I taught k-3 for 13 years in Berkeley public schools.

I can help your young student with concepts that are often elusive. I
incorporate lots of play and make learning a fun and happy experience rather
than an onerous one.

My strength is my personality and ability to connect with young children,
making them feel comfortable and therefore more receptive and ready for
learning.

As a classroom teacher in Berkeley I am familiar with the curriculum,
standards and have developed fun ways of making concepts accessible. My
students were some of the happiest and most confident kids in school.

I work on a sliding scale and come to your home.

siblings) tutoring services from now to the end of
September. My goal is to help elementary school students
prepare for the upcoming school year and ease their academic

Based on my previous stints tutoring, I find that inductive
and deductive teaching methods are the most efficient,
especially when they are used jointly. I plan on using these
two methods of teaching to assist your child's learning.

I was the copy editor and a regular writer for the high

written and oral communication skills. Now at the
university, I am diligently working with mathematical
figures whilst exploring the science realm. I am open to
tutoring students in the Pinole, Hercules, El Sobrante and

I am currently working as a high school administrator at a private school in
San Francisco. Prior to my work in the private school environment I worked in
public schools. My teaching experience range from multiple subjects and
working with special education students, including students who have ADHD.

I have tutored privately on a regular basis in the Bay Area and I can provide
local references as requested.

Some examples of what I can tutor include: Essay preparation and writing,
History, English, College essay writing and application preparation, study and
organizational skills, SATII test preparation.

I am able to tutor student in grades 7-12.

I would like to have a long-term client because I enjoy the relationship that
can be build with the student. Yet, I am open to short-term, targeted
sessions.

Please contact me and we can talk about your child's specific needs.

Greetings,

I am prepared to tutor your student and share efficient study skills which will
improve their confidence, homework, and test performance. I will familiarize
them with study techniques utilizing energy-time management, visual aids (like
flash-cards), organization, motivation, and other strategies for efficient and
rewarding study sessions. I am ready to tutor in multiple subjects including:
Reading and Writing, History, Math, Sciences, English as a 2nd Language, test
preparation, and college admissions.

My accomplishments include a Bachelor's degree in English Literature from the
University of California, Berkeley. I was a member with MU ALPHA THETA's Two-
Year College Mathematics Honor Society. I have recently participated in the
Writer-Coach Program in Oakland for the 2011-2012 semesters and
volunteered in Berkeley for a Sophomore and Senior English Literature class at
Berkeley High School. Thank you for your consideration. I wish you the best!

Tutoring and Educational Consulting

Educational consulting includes the entire system in which a learner is
immersed; school, teachers, family, IEP, academic goals, and life goals. I
support the learner and his or her system of support.

Having experience as a teacher and an administrator, I am familiar with the
terrain. I bring knowledge of current systems and alternatives. My experience
ranges from public school, to a one-room schoolhouse, to a private school for
''gifted-underachivers''. We focused on building the student's skills and
helping each learn better coping skills to succeed.

A student may be missing a key piece of information or a step in the process.
Just as often there is an emotional component or learning strategy deficit. I
use Emotional Freedom Technique? and NLP? for test anxiety, learning
strategies, and self-concept as a learner.

Living and Learning Educational Services
From my two decades as an educator, I know that children learn effectively in
many different ways and in many different settings. Through Living and
Learning, I provide two areas of services to help students succeed in learning
and understanding. Tutoring for Living and Learning enables students to
work individually to further their understanding in specific academic content
areas, while developing strategies, habits, and skills for academic success in
various subject areas. Gardening for Living and Learning designs and
develops garden spaces and customized activities for kids to explore and
learn in the ?outdoor classroom.? Living and Learning is especially designed
for elementary and middle school students. Please check out my website at

learning to be an experience that children enjoy.
