Find a Local Tutor Who Gets It

I am highly experienced in tutoring. I worked all of last year as a private tutor with all ages from children to adults. I am very patient and understanding that each individual has his/her own special way of learning. I like to arrive early to my tutoring classes to further review the material and make sure there are no "bumps" during the lesson. I understand that the time the student is giving is valuable, and it is essential to utilize each minute to the learning of the student. I can control younger students very well after experience working with autistic students as well as unruly children. I am extremely reliable as I never arrive late to my job and I wouldn't not sit down with a student without preparing first.

Yes. I am very good with students and I have been told I am a good teacher. I have patience and I enjoy helping students with their studies. I can motivate students to do their best work by helping them reach their own conclusions. I am reliable. If I say I will do something or be somewhere I will be there.I tutored kids ranging from first to sixth grade during the Summer and Winter in my community center. One of the kids had a learning disability and required a lot of patience. I worked with him on and off throughout Winter. I was also a mentor for younger students for three years, while in high school. I helped students when they asked for help with their school work and homework. I am also currently the mentor of a freshmen in high school.

I believe I would be an excellent tutor because I work constructively to create scenarios and situations to help people "relate" to the material they are attempting to learn. I am the mother of a 3 year old boy and have learned patience and repetition are the keys to teaching. I love working to help others understand the fundamentals, and think I have a solid understanding of how individuals learn- thus creating a differing teaching method for each person, that works for them.

I feel that I have had a great deal of experience working with students from the ages of 5-18. I have worked in general education classrooms as well as in special education classrooms. I feel very confident working with K-12 students.I have worked for a grant funded program that provided tutoring services in various academic subjects for students between the ages of 14-18 for two years. The academic areas that I tutored in were Pre- Algebra, Algebra I. I also tutored in Spanish I-III. Within the last year and a half I was an Instructional Aid for a Special Education classroom where I assisted the Instructor with multiple subjects with in math. During that year we focused on fractions, multiplication, long division, and some Pre-Algebra concepts. The age group for which I was an Instructional Assistant for were between the ages of 10-13. This past summer I was a camp counselor for children with emotional and learning disabilities with the Young Men's Christian Association, that age group varied from 5- 18 years of age.

I would be a good tutor because I am patient and strategic in my approach. I am articulate with my explanation and have had many years of academic experience. I am good at simplifying concepts and I have also worked tutoring my younger brother, having been successful helping him to strengthen his scholastic ability.

I have experience tutoring and working with diverse groups of people, from the very young to the elderly to the developmentally disabled. I am extremely patient and kind and helping and watching people succeed elicits true joy in me.Consistently keeping promises is a value that is paramount to me, and one that truly lets people know that I care about not only their goals, but about them as people. Words do not mean much, but living up to commitments and promises is one of the easiest and most sure-fire to actually show and not just tell about one's reliability.

I would be a great tutor for Grade Potential because I genuinely love helping people make achievements educationally because I think it motivates and encourages them to be happier and to achieve more. I am currently in the Honors Program at UC Santa Barbara and I graduated as a co-valedictorian from high school. Everything I listed I would feel extremely comfortable tutoring with. As for reliability, I believe being on time and keeping my commitments are very important because they reflect my character.

I started tutoring because my goal at the time was to become a professor in mathematics and although that is no longer my plan, I still enjoy tutoring very much and feel passionate about it. I have the qualities needed in a tutor such as patience and thoroughness. When I would tutor, it was satisfying to know that I helped someone understand a subject they found difficult and were struggling in. Also, I get along with people very well as I am kind and friendly whether it be children or adults and they could feel at ease with me. In addition, I am a mature and responsible person. I am good at keeping track of my responsibilities as I am an organized person and know how to be punctual.
