Find a Local Tutor Who Gets It

I am a very personable and enthusiastic person. I have an extensive knowledge of the subject areas in which I am able to tutor and strongly believe I can improve any student's abilities in the subject area in question. After years of working in corporate America, I have decided to refocus my career with an intent on helping others and am looking to go into teaching. Having faced some academic challenges myself from time to time, I know how frustrating it can be to feel "lost" in a subject or class.Currently I am unemployed and available to get started as soon as needed. I am an extremely reliable, honest and dependable person. My schedule is relatively flexible and it assuming I have all the information, it will not be difficult for me to adhere to a set schedule. I also would be able to be flexible in the event sudden opportunities arise. I also very much like helping people and would welcome the opportunity to share the benefits of my knowledge and experience.

I have tutored students in the elementary level, specifically for English/Language Arts, focusing on fluency, vocabulary, comprehension, phonics, and word decoding strategies. I have also tutored students for pre algebra, statistics, graphing.I have tutored students in the middle school level for math (pre algebra, algebra) as well as study skills, organizational skills, and test preperation.I have tutored at the high school level for math (algebra, geometry), Science (biology, life sciences)

I would be an amazing tutor for Grade Potential because I have a past record of success, I connect well with students of all ages, I'm fun, I'm funny, and I do my job well. Having grown up taking care of small children, I have an insane amount of patience and I have no problem explaining a concept again or another way if a student does not understand. Also, I am inspired by my students' success, so seeing them do well in the subjects I tutor them in makes me feel awesome.In terms of punctuality and reliability, you all do not have to worry. I know how important keeping to a schedule is, so I would never leave a student hanging and not show up to an appointment. If for any reason I am unable to make a previously scheduled appointment, then I would notify the parent/guardian of the student as soon as possible to reschedule our tutoring date.

I would be a good tutor for any of these courses because I have previous tutoring experience, know how to help students apply concepts, can personally connect with them, and I did fairly well in these courses. I just graduated with my Bachelor's degree in December 2012, have recently taken a lot of these courses, and the concepts learned in them are still well understood. I have seen success in helping others learn the material that I tutored, and I have learned how to help the student personally improve in his/her disadvantages in the subject material. In the past, I have come up with learning activities to make the subject fun and tried to apply them, in appropriate ways, according to the student's type of learning. I am planning on going to graduate school in the future, but would love to have a tutoring job in the meantime to remember the concepts that I learned in my university education. I am very flexible, have reliable transportation, and I enjoy helping others learn the subject material that they are seeking to understand better. I have been in their shoes and know how influential a good tutor can be to them in their learning.

I feel I would make an excellent tutor for Grade Potential, because not only am I extremely knowledgeable in my subjects, but I enjoy discussing them and love teaching them to other people. For that reason I make a good tutor. I also have experience working with children at the elementary as well as high school levels: I was a camp counselor for two years in a row so not only do I know how to work in an academic setting with children but I can. I am reliable and am known to go out of my way to get the job done when it is required as my previous employers can testify to.

Accountancy is a very demanding major, we are required to understand the material. There is no such thing as memorization, we are required to know our "stuff" to the point that we can teach it. I always wanted to have to the opportunity to tutor other students but with such a busy schedule never had the opportunity. I have always been successful at meeting deadlines, in my internship's we were required to meet demanding deadlines. I believe that with my experience I will be a great tutor and will be an enjoyable experience that will not only benefit the students that I will be tutoring but also my development as a professional.

I have the availability after school and most weekends. I am great with students one on one and in small group settings. I tailor my teaching and tutoring to the student. I work on student's strengths so they feel confident in their subject while tackling what they are struggling on. I am punctual and patient. I think I would do well here. :)

I consider myself a very patient person, being the oldest in my family I have have gained an abundance of patience for my younger siblings and family members. I have a great attitude and my work experience is in childcare and nannying so my nurturing approach helps the kids and teens to feel like they have a shot at success with me. My commitment to being on time and my loyalty to reliability is something a lot of peers my age do not posess. I am always on time, sometimes even early and have never flaked on a family or plans unless I became seriously ill. Above all, I will make the students I tutor feel #1 in their learning enviroment with me and help them gain confidence they need for school and the outside world!
