Find a Local Tutor Who Gets It

I believe I would be a great tutor because I am good with kids and have plenty experience helping kids out with homework and questions about school ! I have patience when it comes to helping someone and know my stuff ! I myself love teaching and love helping others learn ! Also , it would give me a great opportunity to work as a tutor since I want to become an elementary teacher .

I would be an excellent tutor because I have true passion for the sciences in which I have involved myself, and I always enjoy getting to spread the knowledge that I've gained. I also consider it very important as a future scientist to do my part to help engage younger generations with chemistry and hopefully convince them that it actually IS interesting and immensely powerful. In this regard, I would be a great tutor because I believe in explaining chemistry in ways that are relevant to individual life, or that make dull concepts memorable. In addition, I do research in a lab with many teaching graduate students and often when they are out of their office I will help answer their student's questions. I have always been told I was very helpful with their questions and that is always a very proud moment for me. As a student myself I know how important it is for educators to be accountable to their students for the job they do, and to be there consistently to help with the material. Towards that end, my schedule is very open and I am generally able to meet with students anytime after 12PM any day of the week, and I have my own reliable transportation as well. I would not have been able to make it as far as I have as a student and researcher if I did not deal with my duties reliably, and I would consider teaching and tutoring to be of the utmost importance.

I myself experienced problems when taking courses during high school, especially in topics such as Math and Physics. I realized later on, after a talk with my Physics teacher, that I was going about studying in a wrong way, i.e I was not understanding or trying to understand the underlying concept of the topic. for example, when i took physics my sophomore year in high school, I had trouble understanding the subject because i never saw the laws or equations connected to each other, even enaminating from each other, and that all it took was to fully understand four laws to excel in mechanics. I therefore try to teach my students the underlying substance of the topic or concept they are trying to learn, because everything else sprouts from that understanding.

I am a music theory freak, I feel as if there is still more to understand, even with as much as we understand today, and it's a shame that most people these days are musically illiterate, I feel as if it's my duty to help re educate the world in music in an age where music theory knowledge is not at all required to make music (thanks to programs like guitar pro and fruity loops). I feel as if music theory is becoming more of a forgotten art form of sorts, and as someone who wants to go far beyond what we understand about music today, this really bothers me. I am more than willing to teach for free, not just for my own teaching experience, but so that more people in this world are musically educated. But of course if I could get paid for that, that's awesome too.As far as my communication skills are concerned, I have had many customer service jobs, I'm a very friendly (and quite silly to be honest) individual, I am an Eagle scout, and the admin of SBCMT (Facebook group for the metal musicians of Santa Barbara County). I am well known for my jolly attitude and serious music shred.

I've always been kind of the "go-to" guy if someone has a math problem, and what I've found is that everyone who wanted help processed information and figured things out in different ways. Math has always come naturally to me and I'd occasionally get into a situation where something would seem obvious to me, but it wasn't to them. I never really had any success trying to get them to think like me, so, the way I'd approach these situations was by figuring out how they saw the problem, and try to go through it in a way that made sense to them. Whether it was a word problem they needed help visualizing or a graph they needed an equation for, I tried to find a route that would get them pointed in the right direction. I think I'd be a good math tutor for you all because even though I don't have any professional experience, I have a implicit understanding of mathematics and will be able to help my students use their strengths in order to figure out what's giving them a hard time.As far as reliability goes, I don't really have any anecdotes, I will just say I hate being late and I don't miss commitments, and that, for me, there is no worse feeling than running behind schedule or having to apologize for those sorts of things. Therefore, I just try to always be as punctual as possible with my obligations.

I am a punctual person who respects other people's schedules. I am the owner of my own law firm, so my schedule is how I make it. No boss to answer to.I also respect the learning process. I learned how to study though hours of practice. I was successful in high school (graduated second in my class), college (graduated with a 3.8 GPA while double-majoring in History and Political Science), and law school.I passed the California Bar Exam on my first try and was approached to become a grader for future exams. I have real-world experience; I have worked for small and large law firms in San Francisco and now have my own practice in Santa Barbara.I have taken several courses along the way, including Kaplan and Princeton Review test prep and BAR/BRI bar review prep.

I would be a great tutor for Grade Potential because I am very knowledgeable in my areas of focus. I have great communications skills and find myself easy to relate to. I take pride in helping people and have a very strong passion for advancing the education of all. I have great leadership qualities, am very personable and friendly and can take a job seriously while still having fun.

I would be a good tutor, because I try to approach our learning process in a fun and creative way. I try to keep my lessons interesting so my students do not become easily bored or begin to lose focus. I make sure that my students feel comfortable so that they are not afraid of asking questions, as many do in a classroom setting. I am patient with my students and am willing to explain the material in a way that they will understand it.I worked last year for The Community College Foundation in Los Angeles, and worked with students with low standardized testing scores to help them improve. I followed the California state standards to form lessons for my students so I could target the area in which they needed the most help. I kept detailed documentation of the sessions to inform my supervisor and their parents of their progress.
