Hi, my name is Zach and I just moved to Campbell, CA, from the Boston area. I am the oldest of three brothers and graduated from Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut with a degree in psychology. I began my teaching career as a substitute teacher before becoming a full-time instructor leading a transition kindergarten class. I also spent several summers as a camp counselor, teaching basketball and other recreational activities, while acting as a role model for children ages 7-16.

Over the past several years I have worked with a wide range of subjects and challenges both in learning centers and as a private tutor. I have built long standing relationships with families and students, whom I continue to help both in and out of the classroom. I have experience helping younger children with basic learning skills, among them reading, writing, and math. I have also coached children who needed social behavioral help, including those with Attention Deficit Disorder and other developmental disorders. I am also certified in ESL.

My approach is one of listening and patience, allowing me to form a rapport with students of all ages. I am friendly and outgoing and have found that a sense of humor often will diffuse anxiety caused by difficult subjects. But I also believe each individual is unique and will work with parents on what is a mutually beneficial way to best help their child.

Additionally, I have written for several websites over the past six years, including my own blog. I have worked with high school students on college submissions and find that creative format a wonderful tool for finding one's identity. I have tutored many college students and have substantial experience working with grammar, vocabulary, test preparation, book reports, and the five-paragraph essay outline so often requested by teachers. Over the past year I supplemented my online writing work with private coaching and as a math tutor for a popular learning center where I worked with up to three children at a time. I also ran their early learning curriculum.

However, I am most partial to working with students in a one-on-one setting, as it allows the most interaction and opportunity to give an individual the attention he or she needs. I also offer flexible hours and will always do my very best to accommodate any special requests.

Thank you so much for your consideration and I look forward to working with you.

Sincerely,

Zach

Elementary (K-6th)

Elementary school is a primary period of growth for any child. It's the time when they begin to seriously explore their likes and dislikes, forge lifelong friendships, and develop educational skills that will last forever. They will quickly learn whether their favorite class is English, math, social studies, history, music, art, or gym. And it's up to the adults in their lives to help foster these interests and encourage participation and enthusiasm. This responsibility is shared by parents, teachers,... Read More

Study Skills

I have worked as an educator, kid coach, and private tutor for nearly a decade. Developing effective study habits has been a focus of my one-on-one work for many years. Every child is unique and brings a different set of behaviors and challenges when it comes to studying, whether it's for a final exam or merely a nightly homework assignment. I will help address these concerns in a manner that most benefits the student.

Basketball

Basketball is the greatest recreational sport in the world and a wonderful game to learn. You can find a pick up game on any court at almost any time, and it's tremendous exercise. I grew up playing basketball with my siblings before competing in town organizations. I played in middle school, high school, and competitive intramurals in college.

I've also coached basketball in middle school, local leagues, and at summer camp for years, working with children ages 5-18. I have taught... Read More

Baseball

"Field of Dreams" had it right. Twenty-three years later, baseball remains America's true pastime. More than any other, it's the game that is passed from one generation to the next. Most of us grow up playing catch with our fathers and decades later return the favor to our own children.

Above all else, baseball is a wonderful game to learn. It teaches patience and concentration. It demands discipline. But it also introduces people to a special camaraderie that is unique to the sport... Read More

Chess

I learned chess with my grandfather at an early age and have played the game ever since. Great patience is required to become good at it and to teach it. But it's a wonderful activity that demands careful thinking and rewards smart decision making. I can educate those new to the game on strategy, as well as basics such as the names of the pieces and how they move. For those more familiar, I'd be happy to discuss the game and play as often as you like, as the more you practice the faster you'll... Read More

Poker

Poker is a mental game rooted in psychology and math. To be successful you must understand the tendencies of your opponent, differentiate strength from weakness, and know when to take calculated risks. It's a game of smarts and bankroll management, and in the long run the more prepared player will almost always come out ahead.

I have been a successful poker player for ten years now and it would be my pleasure to help you become the same. Whether you are a new player learning the basics... Read More

College Counseling

College counseling is an ever growing resource for millions of high school students every year. The application process, and in particular the numerous essays often required for college submissions, can be a daunting task. That's why it's so important to reach out for additional help from experienced professionals who are familiar with the process.

Hi, my name is Zach. I live in Campbell and have been a private kid coach for almost a decade. While certified in a wide variety of subjects,... Read More
