Find a Local Tutor Who Gets It

I have worked in elemntary classrooms my enitre life, helping my mom with her class (she is an elemntary school teacher). I'm studying at Cal Poly to become a teacher myself, and I love helpings others to understand curriculum they hadn't previously understood.

I enjoy helping students academically and seeing steady improvement. I love the feeling when I've helped someone and they finally understand a concept they've been struggling with. I have the ability to put things in a different way or better explain difficult concepts to students.

I would make a great tutor because I have a passion for learning and helping students excel. I became a teacher and continued my education to be the best at helping those struggling that I could be. I love to learn and top read and enjoy passing that passion on to those that I work with.I have ran the extended day reading program in two different schools and worked with struggling readers in small group as well as individual settings. I was also commonly tutoring students before school in other subjects that they were struggling with. During college I was asked to help my peers in classes that I had already taken.

I would be a good tutor for Grade Potential because I have a firm belief that all students can learn, maybe not all at the same rate, but a slower rate does not mean "let's give up". Between knowledge of different teaching methods and theories of multiple intelligences a student needs someone who will offer the information in a way they can understand so they they are owners of their knowledge and are not renting (memorizing) information.

I have experience working with children and I also am a firm believer that students can benefit from one on one instruction. Through my experience, I have seen first hand the gains that a student can achieve through tutoring.I have taught elementary school for nine years and during this time I have tutored students in all subjects during my lunch hour and after school.

I can make learning fun and easy, not boring. I am friendly and can make anyone laugh. I am respectful at people's homes and almost always on time.I have tutored students K-8th grade before in reading in order to improve their reading level scores. I have also been asked to proofread their English papers. I have also tutored adults before in Spanish.

I enjoy working with others and am extremely comfortable in an academic setting. I am passionate about the subjects I tutor, especially literature, writing, and the life sciences. I work well with others, and am comfortable working the parents as well as their children.

I have experience teaching and working with children and young adults and I enjoy meeting new people. I like to be creative with my lesson plans in order to make learning as fun as possible!I spent a year teaching ESL to children and teenagers in a public school in Thailand. Where I taught over 30 courses at all levels ranging from basic Listening and Speaking to advanced Composition and Literature. I also led weekend English camps and teacher training seminars and was granted an Award of Excellently from the Thai Ministry of Education after training a student to win a national language competition. .
