...my opinion, the most important part of tutoring is understanding each individual's needs and learning methods. Everyone is different and to be a successful tutor, you cannot apply the same teaching methods to every student.

My tutors have been some of my greatest mentors, and I want to...

Certified Algebra Tutor in Berkeley, 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.

Berkeley Algebra Tutoring FAQ
Is your child currently a high school student? In that case, he or she is going to be required to complete an algebra course prior to graduation. To a student who isn't mathematically inclined, the abstract nature of algebra can be confusing and overwhelming. Because it builds upon concepts previously taught, missing a core component of a lesson could greatly inhibit your son or daughter's performance in algebra. Contact Varsity Tutors to find an algebra tutor in Berkeley, CA, to strive to ensure that none of the important concepts were missed, and to build upon the basics in understanding the subject.
Having a basic knowledge of algebraic concepts could help your child successfully get through senior high school and college level mathematics, as well as to think logically. Having a solid math background will take your child further in their future, as many high paying careers require a strong grasp of algebra. Some lengthy algebraic equations can be a bit overwhelming at times. An algebra tutor in Berkeley can help to break these equations down bit by bit, which may allow your child to discover that algebra isn't as frightening as they previously assumed.
