I always start with these querstions, with the parent present, and I tell them they must answer truthfully:

1.  Are you going to class?

2.  Are you staying awake?

3.  Do you ask questions in class?

4.  Are you doing your homework? (Doing does not mean copying another student's work.)

5.  Do you check your answers and ask questions when you get one wrong?

Beyond that, in a perfect world, a tutoring session should have the student's homeword already done. You're not paying for a homework babysitter! We can then address any questions relating to the homework then move on to the next section so the student is prepared for the next lecture in advance.

I have a full, clear CA teaching credential specializing in math.

I also have an MA in Secondary Education and a BS in Medical Microbiology with a minor in Chemistry.

My standard rate is $55 for an hour.  .

I'm licensed, incorporated and fully insured.

I worked for six years in an HIV rsearch lab at UCLA.  When my fuding from the National Institutes of Health ran out I turned to teaching.

I have worked with students as young as third grade and as old as being in college.

I have worked with students with ADD, ADHD, Autism, Depression, Diabetes, Amxiety Disorder, Adjustment Reaction and Alcoholism.

In general, my students are either performing poorly and want to do better or have a really high grade and don't want to see the grade drop.

I got almost $500 in gift cards from my students last Christmas!

Interview, check references then go with your gut.
