Hello!
I have six years of tutoring experience--specializing in writing, art, spanish and
the humanities--as well as several years' training in writing, tutoring, and
homework coaching. I love working with students who need encouragement in
finding their own voices and what matters most to them. I currently intern for a
literary arts non-profit in San Francisco and have experience working with
students as young as 7 up through high schoolers. I have a ton of project ideas
for engaging your kids in their work and helping them to develop a deep sense
of self-worth.
I have excellent references and work on a sliding scale. Please do not hesitate to
contact me if you have any questions.

Now taking reservations for the summer - spots fill up very
quickly!!
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!

My name is Alexander Momirov, I teach Writing, Critical Reading, and
Analytical Thinking to students K-12 all over the Bay Area. I approach
teaching in the humanistic tradition, which emphasizes interdisciplinary
thinking. Being concerned primarily with the Essay, I am able to teach these
skills in the context of any of the humanities. I hold a degree from NYU in
Writing & Comparative Mythology, cum laude.
I have a very easy time relating to my students, because I was a Bay Area kid
myself, and attended various private schools in the city. As much as possible,
I treat my students like peers, because it teaches them to be confident in their
ideas. When things go as they should, I am as changed by my students as they
are by me. This mutual evolution is indispensable to a fruitful working
relationship.

I am a Ph.D. candidate in History at UC Berkeley. I have taught many courses,
graded hundreds of student essays, served as a graduate mentor to senior
honors students, and taught freshman reading and composition. As a private
tutor I have helped dozens of high school and college students develop clear
and compelling writing with good structure, logic, and organization. I also
have extensive experience working with students for whom English is a
second language.
Good writing is as much about developing confidence as it is about learning
proper vocabulary and rules of grammar. I specialize in helping budding
writers identify the demands of a given task--argumentative essay, research
project, personal narrative--and then develop a strategy for completing the
task quickly and effectively.
Rates: Sliding scale based on hours per week/month. Please inquire.
Locations: Depending on the project, we can meet in home and/or
electronically.

I'm a graduate of Biology from UCSC. I can tutor in both
long term sessions or short term test prep. I can tutor
pupils of any age on a variety of subjects: math from
arithmetic to calculus, biology, chemistry, physics, and
English writing and reading. I've studied all these subjects
at the university level. In addition to learning the raw
material, I always focus on deep, conceptual learning rather
than memorization, as well as developing academic skills.
I've been tutoring for seven years, and my methods are very
successful. I had a high school student who spent the summer
working with me learning geometry so that he could skip the
class in the following year. He received the highest
proficiency test grade that year.
My typical rate is $25/hr. I will meet you for no charge to
discuss the student's needs, and establish rates, times, and
locations. For those interested in long-term tutoring I
offer 2 hours of free tutoring. I look forward to hearing
from you.

life skills for students with ADHD or atypical learning
styles. A little bit about me:
I'm twenty seven, currently taking my pre-requisites for
medical school at UC Berkeley's post-bac program. I received
my bachelors in social anthropology from Harvard, with a
minor in film. Growing up I was diagnosed with classic ADHD
and minor cognitive learning disabilities. I have lots of
personal experience with techniques and strategies to make
my frenetic mind an advantage instead of a hindrance. I have
mentored teens for years-- I used to work as an outdoor
education instructor on multi-week wilderness backpacking
trips with middle and high school students (Outward
Bound/NOLS style trips).
I prefer to work closely with one family, about 3 hours per
week over the weekend. I can come to you in the East Bay or

Hi; I'm a recent Baccalaueate of Biology, and a tutor with 6
years of experience working with students of all ages and
diverse backgrounds. As a tutor, I focus strongly on the
academic development of the students I work with,
collaboratively designing custom educational plans to meet
their specific academic needs and aspirations.
I've worked with students in math, biology, chemistry,
physics, english, and history, as well as developing
academic skills such as test taking and organization. The
students I've worked with have replaced failing grades with
strong ones, gone from struggling to excelling, and
succeeded at independently learning advanced material.
Sadly, it's nature of our educational system that the vast
majority of students perform below their potential. It's my
goal to provide an extra-educational space for students to
build the critical thought, academic ability, and knowledge
to excel. I offer flexible rates and hours, and hope to hear
from you soon!

As a content specialist I am uniquely qualified to help your
child, be it simple tutoring to catch up, observing and
assessing the educational environment in the classroom and
communicating with your child?s teacher about an IEP.
I am a credentialed teacher (in California and New Jersey)
and have taught elementary grades for twelve years.
If your child is receiving services, or you feel your child
qualifies for services but is being denied or under-served,
I may be able to help with your IEP or 504 plan. Often a
classroom visit by a Content Specialist will result in more
attention paid to the plan that is in place.
It is important to make sure you have support in your IEP
meeting; reports and observations from professionals,
family, teachers and counselors all must be considered in
any IEP or 504 plan. It is your right and obligation to be
fully prepared for the meetings, and you may bring others to
the meeting.

Hello,
I have experience tutoring children and adults in Spanish, reading and writing,
k-10 math, and history. I mainly focus on study skills and learning through
self- motivated interest instead of rote memorization. I am a student myself,
currently finishing up my BA at Goddard College, where I write my own
curriculum and take full responsibility for my own education. I encourage that
natural curiosity in my students as well. I have been a teachers aid for six
years grades 5-12, including special education. Please contact me if you
think I could be a match for your child! Thank you!

Creative Writer/ Teacher Seeking Tutoring Position: Reading, Writing, Spanish
Language, Research and Study Skills.
My name is Romy Feder and I am originally from New York City. I recently
graduated from Pitzer College, Claremont, Ca. with a B.A. in Creative Writing
and Media Studies. I have a great deal of experience working as an assistant
teacher (usually through college programs) with preschool, middle school and
high school students. I am a native Spanish speaker who continued to study
the subject on a university level. I am a writer who plans to get an MFA in
poetry and eventually teach, hopefully on the university level. As a result,
teaching reading and/or writing would be ideal. I can also teach
organizational, research, and study skills. In typical New York fashion, I do not
know how to drive, so I would have to be able to reach your home from
Berkeley using public transportation. Am available to start as early as
necessary.

I hold a Ph.D. and BS in economics. I am interested in
tutoring high school students, mainly those taking AP
courses, in Algebra, Precalculus, Calculus, Statistics,
Microeconomics, Macroeconomics and French.
Over the past 15 years, I taught 40+ courses at UC Berkeley

(e.g. Econ1 or Stat 20 at UCB). I also tutored my students
during office hours.
Numerous student evaluations evidence my interactive
teaching style, my deep concern about their achievements,
and my ability to create an environment conducive to
learning and to explain concepts very clearly.
I offer one-on-one and small group (3-5) tutoring.
Reasonable rates.

preliminary appointment. I'll give you detailed information

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!

Looking for a summer tutor?
I'm an experienced elementary school teacher and tutor living in North
Oakland. I have taught Kindergarten, 2nd, 4th, and 5th grade, and can tutor
all ages and subjects.
If you are looking for someone to make learning rich and meaningful for your
child, I'm the tutor to do it. My main goal as a teacher is to provide my
students with the materials and guidance necessary for them to create their
own understanding of a given subject. My students have always scored well
on standardized tests, but more importantly, they have deep understandings
of what they have learned and have developed a passion for learning that can
stay with them for life. Above all, I think learning can be fun, and I guarantee
your child will enjoy learning with me.
I can tutor anywhere in the East Bay.
My starting rate is $55/hour, but can be flexible depending on your financial
needs.
Thanks, and have a great day.

Fun Elementary-High School Math/English Tutor. I am a Bay
Area Resource Specialist who directs a small 3 person
Special Education department in a local Charter High School.
I have taught Elementary through High School. I affect
policy, co-teach, and consult throughout my school to
develop appropriate standard-based instruction. Equally
adept at Lang. Arts as in Alg and Geometry. Also, I also
have a large bag of tricks to help polish those pesky basic
skills like handling fractions and variables if your child
hasn?t quite mastered these. It is no lie when I say that
the bonds I develop with my students tend to last for years.
I really do have parents that have literally moved their
child to work with me specifically. My rate is $40 per hour.

A lot can happen in one summer, so if your looking for real progress, want to
maintain your child's development of skills over the summer, or would like to
get a head start on the grade to come....
I am a California credentialed teacher with 7 years of teaching experience in
Oakland. I hold a Masters of Education from Mills College. I taught 1st grade
for 6 years, but also have experience teaching K-8 through tutoring and
substitute teaching. I have a strong understanding of literacy, writing, and
math development in the elementary school grades. I have had a lot of
success with struggling students and have a wide variety of materials and

learning and once a teacher can tap into a particular child's way of learning,
so much growth and confidence can occur.
I can provide excellent references from both supervisors and parents.
$50/hour
