Are you tired of the homework battle?  

Is your child a whiz in one subject, but struggles in another?  

Does your child need concepts from the classroom taught in a
different way instead of more of the same thing?  

Or, maybe you want your child to be challenged beyond the
classroom work.

I'm an experienced teacher who can help!  I enjoy teaching
students of all ability levels, including students with
behavior issues and learning disabilities.   I use classroom
curriculum and my own materials.  I am trained to use a
variety of research-based teaching techniques, including
multi-sensory learning strategies.  

I teach (grades K-5):  
--READING
--WRITING
--SPELLING
--MATH
--LEARNING SKILLS (memorization, note-taking, and
organization strategies for school and home studying).  

Fall Special: $40/hour (homework help). Ask about other
services.

I am a recent graduate, majoring in Conservation Biology 
and I'm looking to be able to tutor multiple subjects as 
needed. I was on the Dean's and Honors list for all 
quarters as well as receiving scholarships from the 
Department of Science. I'm able and willing to also be a 
role model/ peer mentor for your child or just a big sis'. 
I am highly disciplined myself, but also believe in a lot 
of positive reinforcement, taking breaks to have some fun 
and also in making a subject easier by visual learning 
techniques. I can teach anything, from basic Spanish to 
English to Science. I'm a big fan of flash cards and will 
take the time out to help a child make them and also quiz 
them - this works great for vocab. words, foreign 
languages, and formulas.

If your child needs a tutor this summer, I'd like to 
recommend Barbara Little. She is a substitute working in 
the Alameda schools as well as an after school reading 
teacher. She is a sweet, loving person and a terrific 
teacher. Before she was a sub, she was a classroom teacher 
so she has a lot of experience. When she was my son's  
reading teacher she changed his attitude about reading 
from indifference to enthusiasm. He went from thinking he 
couldn't read to thinking he could. She is available for 
tutoring in her home (Alameda) for the very low price of 
$20/hr. She can teach up to jr. high level and while I 
think she is a terrific reading teacher, she loves 
teaching math. Contact Barbara Little at 814-9075.

Greetings!  I am a Ph.D student in History at UC Berkeley
and a former high school social studies teacher with a M.Ed.
in Secondary Social Studies Education.  I have experience
teaching and working with high school, middle school and
elementary age students in special education and bi-lingual
classes as well as ''mainstream'' classes.  Here at Cal I have
served as a Graduate Student Instuctor (Cal's version of a
T.A.) in the History Department.

I tutor in English, Spanish, social studies, geometry,
algebra, and biology as well as other subjects.  
I am fluent in Spanish so can conduct sessions in Spanish if
so desired.

I find that a serious approach combined with fun hands-on
activities and tailored to the individual child is the best
way to work with students. 

I am located in Berkeley and have a car so can travel to you
or tutor your child in my home in Elmwood.

Rate negotiable.

I look forward to hearing from you and working with your
child/children!

My name is Myles Gordon and I am offering my services for
this summer.  I am a Yale University graduate trained in SAT
Prep, but have been teaching and tutoring various subjects
(from Spanish to Algebra to English Writing) for the past
ten years.  I am a teacher at a local independent school and
I am currently looking for a few students who are interested
in private tutoring this summer.  We can catch up or spring
ahead.  I believe that students learn best when they have
rapport with their teacher and I have been very successful
in building strong relationships with even the most
challenging students so that they can learn and progress
with their coursework.  My rates are negotiable.  I can
provide references from local parents if necessary.  Please
contact me at mylesagordon@gmail.com if you are interested.
 Thank you and have a great day!

Greetings!  My name is Chat Hull, and I'm an astrophysics grad student at UC 
Berkeley.  I have three years of experience tutoring athletes at the University 
of Virginia, two years of high-school teaching experience, and a semester of 
college teaching.

I tutor high school- and college-level math, physics, and Spanish (see below).  

My rates hover around $60/hr., but of course I'm open to negotiation.  I don't 
have a car, so home visits would have to be in the North or downtown 
Berkeley areas.  I would also be happy to meet in my own house in North 
Berkeley, or in a location central to both parties (library, cafi, etc.).

I look forward to hearing from you.

Many thanks,
Chat Hull
