College and High School Physics and Math

I have been tutoring unofficially since third grade. Now over thirty, I can say with confidence that it is the one job in which I am most successful and most myself.

Tutoring is an act of observation. It succeeds where normal instruction fails because it is geared toward a student’s particular strengths. My best experiences as a tutor have been with the students who needed me most, learning how they needed to learn.

Regarding my areas of expertise, as an undergraduate I was a teacher’s a…

Ray L. from Hayward, CA Francesca has been a great tutor for my niece. She has been very prompt friendly and courteous. As my niece is from China she has some special difficulties to overcome and Francesca has been right there for her and has helped her in Biology, Pre Calc, English and World History. Thank You Francesca!!!

Yolanda F. from Danville, CA Francesca, Thank you so much for helping me with my college math class. I really felt comfortable with you and was very impressed from the beginning with your knowledge and professionalism. You get what it takes to tutor a student. You were great at figuring out my thought process and explained things in a way that made sense to me. I just finished my class and got an A! Thank you!

Bob S. from Castro Valley, CA Francesca helped our son improve his confidence level and his grades, and I can't thank her enough. She is patient and creative, knows her subjects, and more importantly she is optimistic, even when working with a kid who seemingly didn't care about his academic success. Francesca is also very good at working with kids who have an ADD/ADHD diagnosis. She understands the challenges that these students can often bring (excuses, false assurances, lack of organization, and so on), and really works hard to show them that their energy would be better spent just doing the work. I can't thank her enough for all her help, and highly recommend her to other parents.

Kumi B. from San Leandro, CA She's rarely late, and when she is, she gives you a heads up. She really enjoys what she teaches and is overall a very nice person and great tutor.

Tom W. from Castro Valley, CA Francesca is an excellent tutor. She was able to get my son back on track in his physics class after falling behind. I can't thank her enough! She is able to explain complex subjects very clearly, and she is very patient. I will use her again when my other son takes physics.

Johanna H. from Castro Valley, CA I appreciate Francesca's thorough knowledge of Algebra and her ability to explain concepts in ways that are easy to understand.

Dianne M. from Hayward, CA I feel very fortunate to have Francesca tutor my grandson. She is the first tutor I've had that has taken the time to meet with my grandson's teacher to have a better understanding of what is being taught in the classroom. She also does spot checks, again going to the school to double check if he had homework or not.

Barbara G. from San Mateo, CA It's taken me awhile to write the review, but here it is. Francesca was incredibly helpful and her love of physics is quite contagious, so beware! I ended up with a B in my class though my goal was to earn a C. I was ecstatic with a B. I am a returning student and having to go back to school was a big shock to my system. I was getting so behind in Physics and Francesca gave me the motivation to keep going. This was the first time I have paid for a tutor, and having a tutor in general turned out to be a good idea because I had someone that I could be accountable to. I also looked forward to having her explain the chapters after I read them. My teacher wasn't that good at explaining in a way I could understand. Thank you for all your help, Francesca!!

Lupe S. from San Lorenzo, CA My daughter feels confident with Francesca. She explains everything in a way for her to understand the problems. I am so glad she told her to eat and rest well. I have been telling her these for the longest time. Maybe hearing it from someone else, she will start focusing more. Thanks, Francesca!

Aaron N. from Union City, CA Francesca was very knowledgeable when it came to helping me with Calculus. She provided me with various tips and strategies for solving word problems, which I had always had difficulty with. She is a very patient person and doesn't make you feel bad for not knowing stuff. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would recommend her to anyone needing help with math.
