Find a Local Tutor Who Gets It

I believe my experiences throughout elementary school and high school up until the present day as a college student has lent me the crucial skills to be an effective tutor. As a young child with learning disabilities, I learned to teach myself to be successful as a student. I know now that everyone has the ability to overcome difficult subjects if guided properly. Sometimes, both children and adults just need to either spend a little more time practicing or look at things a different way. I have experience in teaching both children and adults essential swim skills by paying attention to their own learning styles. This skill is transferable and necessary in tutoring. (I also get a kick out of explaining things to people!)I have always treated my responsibilities in a serious and professional manner. I will have no problem being at an appointment on time as I have my own car as a means of transportation.

I have been working with children and adults of all backgrounds and ability levels for over 12 years as a professional in the US and abroad and have a solid foundation for what it takes to education people. An effective instructor has to lower the affective learning filter and make a learner comfortable in order for them to learn effectively. The other tactic is to make connections with the content and the learners life experiences. My combination of teaching philosophy enables me to work with all learners. Teaching is ultimately about trust and personal relationships and bringing the content to life. Enjoying the process of learning is what makes education so fascinating.I've tutored since age 16 giving lessons to middle school kids in the area of music. I taught private music lessons to supplement my income while attaining my teaching credentials. I've given English lessons to people of all ages learning English as a second language. I have also tutored my middle school students in history and writing in accordance with the CA state curriculum content standards.

I am extremely outgoing and confident. I understand building a connection through engagement and gaining trust through being fair and consistent, and I really enjoy explaining things to others. I understand that people have different "open pathways" of learning new concepts (visual, auditory, participatory) and am comfortable with many different approaches to impart information.With a long track record of holding professional positions, I am extremely reliable regarding time commitments. I would also take personal responsibility for the success of any student entrusted to my care.

I can say that I'm a fantastic chemistry tutor. I'm not only knowlagable in chemistry, but I have a very strong skills in teaching and tutoring. The reason why people like me as a tutor because I can manage a lesson or a review session very well. I can arrange my teaching skills very well. Not boring at all, but on the other hand, I'm strict on teaching and tutoring. As a person, I'm very responsible for my students and I'm the person who born to teach. I'm a totally reliable person that every one who know me will not say anything bad about me as a person.

I love helping people learn. One of the kids I tutored in the past had a learning disability, and I loved finding ways to make learning more fun for him. I'm very personable, and enjoy a good sense of humor, but I also have high (yet attainable, of course!) expectations for myself and my students. I know how to make the process of doing homework and studying more enjoyable, while ensuring that we still maintain a productive learning environment. I feel that my education has made me figure out the best studying methods for myself, and I have seen them help others similarly. I am absurdly organized, and generally have my day planned out by the hour. If organization is an issue for my students, I will be sure to teach them how organization will allow them to get the most out of the study materials their teachers provide them. I am very comfortable with English, particularly outlining and editing essays, and have always helped friends and family members with their writing. I am currently writing a book for photographer Mark Tuschman, and would be happy to provide writing samples. I also studied multiple sciences, Spanish, and global issues extensively. In my past experience tutoring, as well as my other work experiences, I have demonstrated my strong work ethic and accountability. I will not make a commitment that I cannot maintain. Since I am not currently a student, I will have very little other than tutoring on my schedule, and will be able to fully commit to those responsibilities.

Besides my confidence in my knowledge of the subjects of math and english, I present a very professional and likable demeanor. I am polite, respectful, and unbiased. I have very reliable transportation and have a habit of showing up on time.I know how to teach a subject while maintaining interest and focus from my pupils. I have a knack for realizing the information that is lacking from an individual's understanding.During my last two years of high school I tutored younger students in Algebra and Geometry. During my senior year I was a teacher's assistant for one period of Algebra every day.My parents are both elementary school teachers and I have spent a limited amount of time helping out in their classrooms. However, I would be more comfortable tutoring individual students at a higher level.

I am a very social and caring person. I love to help and I thought it would be wonderful to help people not only understand and master the French language, but also give them a basic insight on the culture. I also believe I would be a good fit for a French tutor as it is my first language, and lived in a European-like culture for 14 years of my life. As for reliability, I plan on doing what is expected of me; I am not only helping a student, but also myself in a way. I take pride in my culture and language, and so I will do my best to help others appreciate French as much as I do.

I absolutely LOVE working with kids no matter the age, and I LOVE math and science. Tutoring is the offspring of both of those two things combined. I would have taken the path to become a teacher, but I've always been a one-on-one kind of person. One-on-one tutoring allows you not only to bond with your students, but you have the time and ability to observe what specifically works for them and what doesn't, and you get to witness first-hand as they make progress, and that is the best feeling in the world. One might say I "know my stuff" by looking at my high marks on my transcripts, but more importantly I "know my stuff" because I love the material itself, and that's why I have tutored it in the past, and want to tutor it now. You can rely on me because I have never missed a tutoring appointment and I have good work ethic. I have been a nanny for 2 years (3 kids in each family) so you can trust me with the child of any parent. When I tutor I am there for the student, not for the money. Their learning is first priority.
