Find a Local Tutor Who Gets It

I have tutored Deaf children for over 10 years, worked on the job training Deaf adults. In addition, I have mentored my accounting staff for over 15 years with great success. I am compassionate and patient, I follow up with students to understand where they are behind and constantly provide positive feedback as well as point out areas where improvement can be made. I work hard to understand others learning styles and accommodate their needs to help them to be successful in learning a subject.

Throughout my college experience I had a lot of experience working with students as a tutor and teaching assistant. My sophomore year I tutored refugees at the International Rescue Committee who had very little education and reading or writing experience. This helped me learn how to communicate with students in a clear and helpful way. My senior year at San Diego State, I was a Teaching Assistant for Rhetoric and Writing Studies 100, a freshman writing class. I was responsible for holding office hours, attending class, answering emails, and grading smaller assignments. In addition, I have a very flexible schedule because I work at a cafe in Sorrento Valley only part-time. I also have reliable transportation.

I am a good tutor because I have a lot of patience. I grew up tutoring a younger brother that has a learning disability and my dad works in special education so I've seen the importance of patience and communication when it comes to teaching and tutoring. I've worked with kids as an umpire and referee before and believe that I learned a lot of good communication skills with them. I learned the importance of listening to them and explaining to them in detail as well.

I am a good tutor because I have many years of experience working one on one with children. I also received my degree in psychology which has helped me learn different teaching techniques and all of the unique ways children learn. I am experienced in making education fun for kids, and I have a passion for watching them grow and succeed.I have worked for the San Diego City School District for over two years now as a Special Education assistant. There I learned how to work one on one with kids who needed special attention. This was very good training for the job I am at now. I work at Sycuan on the reservation tutoring children one on one. My experience in special education has given me patience and teaching skills that I apply at my job. I was also tutored when I was young and I use the same techniques now to teach children.

I have previous teaching and tutoring experience. I love working with kids; I am very patient, and I find the work to be fulfilling and rewarding.I taught English for a year to French high school students and I've previously worked as the manager and primary English/language arts tutor at the Cambridge Learning Center in San Diego, CA.

Throughout college, I have always found myself in positions acting as a peer mentor. From being a big brother in my fraternity to being an RA for two years on campus, I have always enjoyed being a good influence and role models for my peers around me. With these experiences, I have fostered my growth as a mentor. I have also been a tutor numerous times, mostly in high school, for peers and family friends. The subjects I tutored for varied from Math and Science to English and History. I have learned how important it is to be patient with students and frame things in a simpler perspective to help them derive and obtain knowledge in the subject they are trying to improve in.

I enjoy working with others to see them succeed. I have learned over the years that not everyone learns the same. It might take changing word choice or visual versus verbal. I have worked with many different types of people in a supervisory role so I have had to teach others almost every day.

I love people that are learning, I get super excited and inspired to see where it will take them. I love learning myself, always reading, problem solving, and developing new understandings. I am constantly putting myself around people to learn from and would love to give that back.
