Find a Local Tutor Who Gets It

I'd be a great tutor because not only do I have the experience in dealing with kids of varying ages, different backgrounds but I also have the patience and assertiveness necessary to help kids understand that we are here for them, to help them. I am accustomed to working with the kids so it doesn't feel like we are there doing "homework", as they like calling it, but rather shift the focus to potential they have in making their parents and themselves proud, as well as an ego boost when they see results.My latest tutoring experience is with the Hunting Learning Center which focuses in tutoring bilingual students from low to mid income families, many of the students ranging from the third to the sixth grades were still learning english.

My Philosophy of EducationAs a teacher, I plan to build a classroom centered on imagination, curiosity, creativity, and cooperation with one another. I want to provide my studnets with support where I can help them achieve academically and personally. I want to create an atmosphere that promotes tolerance and teamwork where each child understands how special they are. I want to teach students the skills they need to verbalize and share their ideas. In order to teach to different learning modalities, I want to incorporate technology and hands on creative activities that enable students to relate what they learn to real life experiences. As a teacher I want to be an advocate for their students. I will have my students' best interest in mind, seeking out opportunities to shine light on student achievement. That special moment of recognition could change a student’s life. As teacher, I believe it is important to develop a personal relationship with each student, where the time is taken to understand each student’s unique goals and personalities. As a teacher it is important for me to help my students accomplish their aspirations. I believe it is our job as teachers to be patient, empathetic, stern, passionate, dependable and hardworking. Furthermore, I see an ideal teacher as someone who leads an upstanding life by being involved with their school, family, and community. I believe that a classroom should be a safe environment that is organized and structured. It should provide many resources that further educate students with different learning behaviors and students that may have a disability. An elementary school should be a well-balanced program that teaches to a variety of disciplines like art, music, science, English, math, and health. This balance ensures a quality education for everyone. We all must work together with our students as our main focus, helping to create positive social interactions and intellectual students that will be prepared to succeed in their future endeavors.I have a degree in Elementary Education and an area or concentration in creative arts.

I have a strong background in special education and have always had a passion for helping children succeed. I had challenges as a student and found that I could succeed if I use my strengths and abilities. I have used this philosophy when tutoring children. I also try to find the student's particular style of learning and catered to that process of learning. I am organized and a person that is always prepared and ready to go on time. I am a professional and work well with people.

I would be a great tutor for Grade Potential because I am very patient with those whom I work. I understand the difficulties and frustrations experienced when something doesn't come naturally right away, and I am confident in my ways of explaining said challenges. My tutoring style breaks down the larger picture into smaller, more digestible steps, and I've found that individuals who I've worked with have really learned from my teachings.I have previously worked as an after-school program attendant/coordinator at a YMCA in the greater Los Angeles area. There, I informally tutored K-6 children.

I believe that I would be a great tutor with Grade Potential because not only am I knowledgeable in the subjects but I am very enthusiastic about them and love to teach students. In addition to a true passion for my subjects, I love teaching students in very dynamic and hands on ways, such as learning new Spanish vocabulary through popular songs and fun tricks to remember formulas of verbs and music theory.I have tutored both Spanish and clarinet to high school students only, though I have run study sessions for music theory in a university setting and have been the leader in many groups of clarinet players (where I have had to instruct).

I would be a great tutor because I understand that learning takes place in a comfortable setting where the learning of subjects is done with the students being respected, and made to feel that they are capable learners. My previous experience with tutoring elementary age children brings experience I can implement with new students. My background in Early Childhood Studies gives me knowledge on how to get a variety of children to learn subject matter in a developmentally appropriate manner.Worked tutoring elementary age children through the Ventura Unified School District after school program.

Ever since I was young man I have had a great passion for teaching and coaching. It has always been a life goal of mine to assist people who presently struggle with a subject or concept to learn and master the concept. Nothing is more rewarding and thrilling. Although I did not choose this as my career, I would still like to achieve this goal of assisting young people as well as achieving my other goals in life such as career and family. I believe tutoring is a great way to do this.I bring many other skills to tutoring besides my knowledge of the listed subjects. I am extremely patient, supportive, motivated and a outside the box thinker. My goal in life is to consistently encourage people to strive for excellence and through hard work and dedication, achieve their goals. I also attempt to teach people new and more productive ways of doing things. I am a firm believer that if a current strategy is not working to make a calculated change to a new strategy that will achieve the desired results. These additional skills will allow me to not only teach the material to the student but allow for maximum comprehension and retention as well.
