Award-Winning SAT Reading Tutors in Vacaville, CA

My favorite word is "why." And why is that, you may ask? Well, I am subject to a never-ending flow of knowledge because I perpetually wonder why. The search for answers to any question beginning with "why" has taught me everything I know -- and put me in a position to disseminate my knowledge to other people. Tutoring is the best possible way for me to do that.

...I have worked as a tutor for six years. During this time, I have had the most experience tutoring pre-algebra, algebra, advanced algebra, geometry, Spanish and college-level algebra. I think based on the amount I have tutored and my overall experience, my favorite subject to tutor is math because there is always one, and only one, right answer. Through effective communication and patience, the student is not only able to learn the mathematical process, but...

...get there. It is my job to patiently translate that jargon into understandable concepts that enable the student to better understand the subject. I love teaching all sciences, as well as Spanish and reading techniques. Outside of teaching, I love being outdoors, and you can often find me planning fishing and backpacking trips. I am also active in volunteering, including an annual trip to Mexico to build houses, and am a huge San Francisco Giants...

...in psychology. I spent three years as a high school math teacher and basketball coach in Washington D.C. Before that, I spent four years as a sportswriter and columnist in Los Angeles. I have worked with students of all ages from kindergarten to adulthood and am a staunch believer that it is never too late to fall in love with learning any subject (even math!). My approach to tutoring is the same way I approach...

...and trying to pinpoint exactly where they are having trouble in a subject. By finding these leverage points, I can help them develop good habits and new strategies to create success in their schoolwork. I believe that everyone can be successful in school, but it's a matter of finding a custom plan for each individual. In my years of working with students, I know that everyone is different and what works for one student may...

...variety of topics, I am most passionate about English. I am a highly skilled writer and editor who can provide valuable tutoring to any student struggling with the written word. Most importantly, my methods of teaching can help encourage students to regain the confidence in themselves needed to feel prepared and at ease in any academic setting. Next year, I plan to go back to school to get my Master's Degree in Publishing or Digital...

...a teaching and learning style that works best for them, and the key is finding a match. For myself, the most important attributes in my teaching ability are passion, patience, and perception. Bringing life to the material with creativity and insight kindles and a greater interest in the learner. Having the patience to follow the plan of execution helps the student feel at ease and puts them in a better mindset for success. Perception is...

...writer by habit. I have over three years of teaching experience at private tutoring companies, UC Berkeley, UC Berkeley's Summer Bridge Program, and as a freelance political science/calculus tutor (there's more overlap than you think). In 2014, my paper "Set Theory and Fuzzy Sets: Their Relationship to Natural Language" was published in the Newsletter of the American Political Science Association Organized Section for Qualitative and Multi-Method Research. I'm fond of good food and bad puns....

...I mean awesome in the strongest sense of the word)! I am so happy to be able to continue that work with Varsity. In terms of the subjects I am comfortable teaching, of course Math and French are what I have the most experience with. But I would love to be given the chance to tackle new things as well! For instance, I have an enduring love for literature and writing, and I am also...

...grant to organize a youth education and empowerment program for Syrian refugee and native youth in Jordan. There, I had to design ESL curriculum and conduct classes for youth in various ages, including teenagers at the middle school/high school level and younger students in the elementary level. Because I have tutored a diversity of people and in various contexts, I am prepared to tutor across ages and education levels. I can also provide mentorship in...

The only thing I love more than learning is helping other people to learn!

...with a French major and emphasis on Secondary Education. I home-schooled my children (now in college and beyond), and have been working as a tutor (SES and privately) for 8 years. I tutor most elementary subjects, but especially enjoy teaching math (through Algebra 2 and Geometry) as well as English/ Language arts (K-12), Spanish, and French. I enjoy helping others learn to ENJOY learning, as well as helping them reach their goals!

...taught me to identify and address weaknesses ranging from the big picture to the smallest comma. This "on-the-job" learning gave me the supplemental appreciation for the various building blocks of language. (This was also helped by my adventures in learning Latin, Greek, and Hebrew. Nothing helps more than learning another language!) Hence, I was able to learn the nitty-gritty material, which was reflected in my own writing, as well as how to teach it. Finally,...

...in Asian American Studies with a minor in Comparative Literature in 2016, and I will be matriculating into a Master of Arts program in English at NYU in 2018. I have extensive experience tutoring K12 reading, writing, and literature, as well as both SAT and GRE test preparation in the Critical Reading, Verbal, and Writing portions of the exams. I also have experience with the SAT Subject Test in Literature and the AP Art History...

The subjects I tutor are English, Spanish, History, Study Skills, Science,...

...I have ever done and I would love to continue doing it in the future! Outside of tutoring, I dance Bharatnatyam, sing in a choir, play violin, and read books. My interests vary with the seasons, but the two loves of my life are Biology and English. Science has always been my passion, and as such I work in two biology labs at UC Berkeley and volunteer for UCSF and the Hospice at Sutter Care...

I'm currently a student at UC Berkeley studying computer science and statistics. I'm experienced in math, computer science, and standardized testing.

My goal is to help students in college, high school, or middle school learn Math.

...students of all backgrounds and levels of ability. My unique approach to SAT and ACT test-prep focuses just as much on "learning the test" as it does learning the material, which gives students a sense of confidence and courage on test day. My expertise in "big test" prep translates to the regular school environment as well, whether it be building better study habits, better relationships to class material, or finding new ways to make material...
