Find a Local Tutor Who Gets It

I love to meet new people and if I am tiutoring them. I am relable and respectful and I always have fun with my students and i love when my student finally understands the topic. I love tutoring and it is alot of fun. If i cant make a class i give atleast a days notice so my student doesnt have to make different plans. I always call them on a day to day basis.I am currently tutoring aduts through the literacy council here in Santa Maria Ca. I love tutoring and I am not getting paid for this tutoring. But I can see myself tutoring kids and adults. I am a never nice person and this is my passion and i would like to get paid for it.

I have had the opportunity to return to my High school and give lectures in their 3D Animation class. I have had this opportunity three times now, one time as a stand in teacher for the entire class period. I conduct myself as a professional, keeping appointments and if I cannot attend due to other obligations I am sure to inform them I cannot show up ahead of time.During my time at Expression College I would often go out of my way to help others. I did not get paid as a tutor; but I did get the experience to help others who struggled in understanding the lecture. This was rewarding to myself because it also furthered my understanding of the subject.

I am a very dependable, ethical person. I actually originally studied in college to be a Spanish professor before changing my degree. I have been tutoring my peers since middle-school through college. I understand very well that everyone has a different learning style and I am very good at accommodating those different styles to help people learn. I have even tutored friends' parents while I was in high school and they were studying at Adult School. I am very patient and kind. I enjoy tutoring because it is a very fulfilling job. I understand the negative impacts that can be caused by not understanding concepts and I enjoy helping build someone's confidence and self-esteem through learning. I am also a firm believer in tools like flash cards which is something someone can take home and work on by themselves.

I believe that I would be a great tutor at Grade Potential, I love math and would love the opportunity to teach others to understand it. I am currently in a class, Math for Elementary Students, and have learned many tips to teach and tutor all types of students. I was a high school soccer coach also, so I have a good way of communicating with students and believe I have good communication skills to help them understand the subject. Being reliable is very important to me, having someone that you can trust is very important and I believe I am a very trustworthy and reliable person. When someone tells me where to go and when, I will be there and most likely be there early.

I believe I will be a good tutor because of my interest in learning; I love to learn new things, and helping other people to learn is a satisfying feeling. I believe that for a tutor to be affective in getting the student to grasp onto the material is he/she must have both passion and patience. I am a reliable person because I hate the feeling of being late or people not showing up for an appointment, and I simply do not do that to other people. Of course there are unknown factors in the world, but showing up timely and ready to go is an important part to a healthy tutor-student relationship.

I think that I am a good candidate for becoming a Grade Potential tutor for a variety of reasons. First, I feel very confident that I can teach math to students that are having difficulty. Also, I have had experience in a classroom helping individual students. Because of this, I have practiced the skills that are necessary for tutoring. In terms of reliability, I am a person who takes commitments seriously. This means that I will always show up. I have also always valued begin on time. Personally, being late is stressful for me and comes of very unprofessional. Because of this, I make sure that I am always on time. For these reasons, I believe that I am a good candidate for becoming a Grade Potential tutor.

I am an excellent teacher, and have been supporting myself through my own teaching business for 13 years. I convey concepts in a very clear way, and am encouraging. I have to be reliable to maintain my own business, plus I work at a performing arts school. I have great references.I am currently a music teacher, and have been for 13 years. I also was a tutor for Math and English in 2008-09, for the "No Child Left Behind" program. Was a tutor for public school children from K-6 for 4 years. This was for a variety of subjects--whatever came up in their classrooms that they needed help with.

My high school tutoring experience was a very rewarding because I liked sharing my knowledge to help others and in the process I reinforced my knowledge. In college i tended to host study groups an in those study groups we would teach each other what we knew best so my tutoring skills were put to practice. When I am teaching someone I tend to be patient and ask questions as to how much was understood and if it is not sinking in I always change my approach. As for reliability, I try my best to be ten minutes early to any meeting or appointment and I don't make commitments if there is a remote chance that I might change my mind.
