KLM Tutoring/Kelly Tutoring by Liz Kelly and Allie Kelly
We are two private tutors in our later 20's who specialize in K-8 grade tutoring. Although we typically work with students in K-8, we are also able to help high school students in English and History, Study Skills, Organization and Paper Editing. We both graduated with AA's and bachelor degrees and are now pursuing masters' degrees and teaching credentials in Education. We both currently work for the Davis School District in Special Education but have spent hours in every grade level classroom. We work with children that have anything from lack of study skills and organizational problems to students with learning disabilities like ADD, ADHD, Dyslexia. We typically work after school at the Yolo County Library in Davis. Both sisters grew up in Davis and went all the way from kindergarten to high school graduation so she understands the pressure put under Davis kids at any age. We offer a free consultation meeting with both the parents and the child to be tutored before tutoring even starts so you can decide if we are the right fit for you! We charge $20 for one session a week. Each session is 55 minutes and we use a system of communication notebooks between parents and tutor, prize reinforcement and constant and non judgemental communication between tutor and the student. We don't have a lot of spaces left so please contact us quickly as tutoring times tend to fill up! We start most of our sessions (which may already be taken, so ask for a particular time(s) available from 2:30 -6:00 at the Davis Public Library on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays (We start at 1:30) and Thursdays (Fridays/weekends/and evenings may also be available; just ask!). For more information, please e-mail Liz at ELKelly23@gmail.com and leave your phone number so we can call you back! We look forward to meeting you!

BarnabasTruman
Barnabas has six years of experience in the classroom teaching mathematicks at every level from arithmetic through precalculus, plus differential equations, so he knows all about how you were taught the wrong way in the first place and can help you put the puzzle in your brain back together. He also has a bachelor's degree in math, a master's degree in teaching math, and a teaching credential (all from UCD), and has taken many of the math courses that UCD offers. You might recognize him by his cape, beard, staff, wizard hat, abacus, wand, and contagious enthusiasm for mathematicks. If you see him on campus or in town, stop and ask him about different levels of infinity. He can be contacted at davis.mathematicks@gmail.com and enjoys writing about himself in the third person.

Christopher Bumgardner
Christopher received a PhD in mathematics from UC Davis in March of 2011. During his time as a graduate student, he was an instructor for a few math classes (21D, 22B, 16B) and a teaching assistant for numerous lower and upper division classes (all calculus upper and lower division, real and complex analysis, advanced algebra including linear algebra, topology, introduction to higher math, and more). Christopher also has been a private tutor for high school and college students since January of 2009. He has had a lot of success with helping students with anything from just getting through a math test to pinpointing weak areas in a student's mathematical knowledge. Christopher puts a very conscious focus on finding learning styles of a student and then adapting his teaching style to accommodate. A lot of the time, Christopher finds he ends up helping students learn math by helping relieve math anxiety, and then the student's mathematical abilities, whether past knowledge or present understanding of concepts, can thrive.
You can contact Christopher to set an appointment for a tutoring session by email (preferred): cjbumgardner(at)gmail(dot)com; or by phone: 530-848-0245.
Grant Acosta
I have over 14 years of math teaching experience, including 5 years at the high school level. For the last 9 years, I have worked at the Student Academic Success Center at UC Davis tutoring students in Algebra, Trig., Pre-Calc (Math 12) and Calculus (16ABC and 21ABCD). If you are a UCD student, I am very familiar with curriculum in these courses, and I also know the styles of many of the professors who teach them. I can help you maximize not only your understanding of the material, but also your grade!
If you are a Davis High or Middle School student, you probably already realize that the math curriculum in Davis schools moves fast and is very challenging. I taught 5 years of high school math in a very similar school district, so I can quickly recognize the important concepts that you should know, and I can explain them clearly. I have had great success tutoring DHS students!
