Find a Local Tutor Who Gets It

I am a very enthusiastic person by nature, especially when it comes to science, and Physics in particular. It is truly something I find completely satisfying to help others see the value in science, math, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, et cetera. I am not currently taking courses, but I hope to keep my understanding fresh by passing it on to others.I have a great amount of empathy for others, and I feel it helps with communication skills. So I know that while I may not be the perfect tutor at first, I will get better with practice and getting to know both the material and the student.

My academic record proves that I "know my stuff," but what my academic record won't tell you is that I am extremely passionate about teaching. I enjoy helping students understand the art of literature or learn proper grammar. I have also been extremely successful in my tutoring carrer. I watched as my pupils expanded their vocabularies and analytical skills and saw their grades increase drastically, which has been extremely rewarding. In addition, I am very reliable, because I take pride in my teaching and, also, as a freelance writer and researcher, I have very flexible hours.

I believe I would be a good tutor for Grade Potential because of my prior experience. I loved doing it and I think I have a little more knowledge because of the particularly students I worked with. I have always been punctual at all of my jobs, and if I cannot make it any appointments I will make sure to notify my supervisor and my student in advance.

As a counselor with a background working with youth for several decades I feel I can add a positive element to the academic learning environment for children. In particular address not only the subject matter but attend loss of ambition or self esteem that can accompany those who struggle with the learning process. I enjoy this work, and am passionate about it as you can see by reviewing my professional resume. I have learned the art of having patience, problem solve, and limit setting as well am familiar with the topics that often bring challenges to the elementary age students.

I feel I would be a good match for Grade Potential because I work well with children, I offer new ways of looking at subjects which often helps kids grasp material better. I have my own form of transportation and a fairly open school schedule in the upcoming semester at Cuesta.

I believe I would be a good tutor because I have the experience needed for the job. Along with that in my job tutoring with the Summer Algebra Academy I was trained on how to tutor students and taught that there are many different way you can explain the same thing if students do not understand one explanation. In addition I was taught to make students think and look over their notes and creating good habits of studying while I'm also there to tutor and guide them.

I have always been a very quick study and tend to hang on to bits of information way after most considered them pertinent. I was one of those students K-12 that would "ace" standardized tests and class material and would be looking for more to learn (the class was rarely fast enough for me). I approach challenges differently than many people and am willing to try different techniques as they seem to fit each person which gives me a larger arsenal for getting through to someone who learns differently than the average child/student.I have also always been someone who is not just punctual but early. For example, at Cal Poly I would show up ten minutes before the hour rather than just on the hour which would put me at ten minutes early for class whereas most people were known to adopt "Poly time" - where once you are out of school you can't manage to get anywhere on time for your idea of "3:00" is really "3:10". I also do my very best not to make commitments that I cannot keep and thrive on schedules.

I have learned multiple teaching tools that has helped me tutor students. In the past I have taken Kumon where I learned the importance of practice makes perfect, especially when it comes to mathematics. I have a niece and nephew and I enjoy teaching them how to read and write. At Cal Poly I have taken six workshops for Calculus, Chemistry, and Biology classes and have observed how my workshop leader teaches. When it comes to responsibility for a job or a class project, I always sacrifice my time to do the best job. I not only want to learn from my experiences but to create the best substance for my employer or team leader. I am very friendly, respectful, and I love to help people.
