I recently began hiring other tutors to assist me with tutoring. I’ve trained them all in my tutoring methods, and implement the same low rates as before. We make sure we work proactively with both students and parents to optimize learning and retention.The tutors and I provide tutoring services that allow students to achieve good understanding of the material while becoming more confident in themselves. We work on strategic study skills that help them learn to be organized and self sufficient. With these methods, I have found that students become more motivated, more efficient with their time, and believe in their ability to reach goals with hard work. While most tutoring companies in the area charge $90 – $100 for an hour of tutoring, we charge less than half of that. We believe that more students should have access to personalized academic assistance. Please do not hesitate to contact me for more information:Email: Dana@thrivetutors.comPhone: (408) 634-2436 History Established in 2009. I’ve worked for many different tutoring companies both in the bay area and in San Diego County. I realized that most companies charged close to 100$ an hour, while paying their tutors something around 20$ (at the most). Those are incredible margins that don’t seem completely fair for the parents (paying 100$ for a service worth 20$?). I thought to myself, if only the parents contacted me personally, they would save so much money! That is why I decided to start this business.For any parents out there thinking about giving their children tutoring lessons, I would highly suggest researching different companies before choosing one.
I hold a BA in Psychology and Chemistry from the University of California - San Diego.I have been tutoring Chemistry, Math, and English for the past 5 + years.I worked both as a teacher's assistant and chemistry workshop facilitator at UCSD for 2 years.My tutoring experience has shown me that simply providing students with homework help doesn't usually make that significant impact on their performance. Focusing on their study skills, organization, and motivation seems to be the key, and I make sure to incorporate these elements into every lesson. Practice makes perfect!
