Seeking a Math Tutor and Mentor for a 9th Grade Girl (Santa Clara)

We are looking for a college student (or recent graduate) in math, physics, engineering, or computer science to tutor and mentor our daughter, a 9th grader taking Trigonometry/Precalculus Honors.

About her:

  • Quick learner with strong reasoning and visual-spatial abilities
  • Loves math, physics, engineering, programming, and robotics
  • Enjoys reading, volleyball, and other indoor and outdoor sports
  • Slow to warm up to new people

What we hope for:

  • Inquiry-based teaching that guides her to come up with her own approaches and solve problems herself, rather than being shown the answers
  • Filling gaps in her math foundation and offering challenges within her reach
  • Guiding her to discover the learning style and pace that work best for her
  • Sparking her curiosity and helping her explore future interests
  • A long-term relationship and a positive role model

Format: Weekly sessions over Zoom, plus occasional in-person meetings in the Santa Clara area.

Ideal candidate: Patient, curious, and passionate about STEM; asks good guiding questions and enjoys teaching through puzzles and real-world applications. Experience with neurodiverse students is a plus. We would especially welcome a female tutor who can serve as a role model in STEM.

Compensation: Competitive, depending on experience.

If interested, please send a short introduction about your background, your availability, and how long you plan to stay in the Bay Area.
