Find a Local Tutor Who Gets It

Personal Statement I have earned my B.A. in Economics, and my M.S. in Mathematics and Education. I am energetic and upbeat! I encourage kids/people at whatever level of understanding that they may have. I am a good listener and have great people and analytical skills. Often, I am able to arrive at solutions that no one else could think of, because I have a uniquely creative mind. I really enjoy watching the joy and satisfaction of my students faces when they 'Get It!'.Tutoring Approach/Experience Two of my Graduate School Professors were absolutely THE BEST I have EVER seen. One, who worked with gifted students, would 'watch' how the brain of his student was working to solve the problem, and encourage that students own 'style', as it were. This gives a student a good feeling and one that makes him/her enjoy the learning process. Occasional 'nudges' in this direction or that are necessary, and 'watching' and 'studying' the student and his/her thinking process is vital. Next, my other Professor, was a "glass half full" kind of guy. He always gave credit for what was done right, rather than marking something completely wrong, for just an error in one step or another. I have combined BOTH of these techniques and they work wonderfully with children and adults alike ! :)

I would be a great tutor for Grade Potential because I am passionate about the subjects that I tutor in and I love to help others learn. I am extremely motivated to help others achieve their educational goals. My mother is a former teacher, so I understand the value of solid study habits.I am currently a tutor for the Ventura County Community College District. I am employed specifically by Ventura College and I tutor primarily in English and Psychology.

I have three years teaching experience at the college level. I am most familiar with British literature. I have taught in the Writing Department at UCSB, three quarters of Writing 2, which covers scientific review, social science, and the humanities. I have worked with students writing courses on literature, both poetry and prose and have a good grasp of literary language.

I have experience working with students with a wide range of learning styles, abilities and possible behavior issues. I have been successful in working with these students to make concepts or skills more attainable for the course work.I have tutored with the school where I taught both paid and volunteered. This was primarily with students who were struggling to pass and were in athletics.In addition to tutoring within the school setting, I worked for Pinnacle Learning and tutored in the home one to One. These sessions were with students who were delayed readers.

Hi my name is Chris Morales and I am excited and willing to help out other students. My strong subject is math but I can also speak spanish. I have never been a tutor but I am energetic and willing to learn. I have a lot of cousins who are all kids so I know how to converse with them and translate that so that they understand what I teach them. I am also very sociable so I can also tutor high school and college students.

I am a great tutor at Grade Potential, because i know the material I am qualified to teach thoroughly. I have an extensive amount of patients, and i relate well to a variety of people.

I am a certified tutor, and have worked with many students from various age groups. I am also patient and can cater to many different learning types.I tutored at santa barbara city college in the gateway center, as well as private tutoring for elementry, high school and college students.

I love working with students both as a classroom instructor and especially one-on-one as a tutor. The sympathetic joy that I feel when successfully helping a student learn is an emotional experience that is indescribable. Here are the comments of one of my students that were written on the instructor evaluation forms; these rmarks are authentic because they are anonymous:Mr. Mandras is great. I’ve been here for 2 years and he is one of the best teachers. He’s funny and doesn’t scare you about math. I took this class 4 times and failed because the teachers were so hardcore (military) and strict about doing overwhelming amounts of homework. They also present math so serious that it scared you to death of failure. Not Mr. M, he’s very relaxed, nice, soft spoken, clean shaven, and always speaks to us students about confidence in math and that we can do it. He has a good sense of humor. He says funny things to us to make us laugh. If he taught other subjects I would choose to take them with him. He’s a good man, a good person. I wish him well in life! I’ll always remember him.
