Find a Local Tutor Who Gets It

With my 2+ years of tutoring experience, starting from high school, I've worked with students from a variety of different ages and on several different subjects. From starting my own tutoring club in high school, I saw the value in that time a student spends with their tutor and I've gained patience and learned the best ways in which to approach any problem a student may have. I also feel that my experience in tutoring coupled with my customer service experience makes me a perfect candidate for your team.

Being a student myself and walking the stage this year at UCSDs commencement, this is finally the time for me to hone in on what I've learned. I have been a nanny for many years now and have a lot of experience with children. I helped them read and took them to the library and tried my best to create a positive learning environment. I want to be a speech pathologist or a kindergarten/elementary school teacher. No matter which way I go, I want to educate young children and help them succeed in their path of knowledge. I have so much motivation in being more skilled in this field and to make a difference. I know that whatever experience I am lacking I can learn here and I am extremely passionate about this field.

I am very energetic and I have a passion for helping others. I do not have any tutoring experience but I am currently taking classes to become a teacher. I am learning more with each class and hope to put the book skills that I am learning to use in real situations. I am available on M,W,F all day and T,TH before 3pm. I am very dependable and I have great work ethic. I truly enjoy being around students and helping them gain confidence in their schoolwork and self esteem.

I worked at a summer school for two summers and am very comfortable working with kids and giving instructions. I love to teach and and I am very confident in breaking down difficult concepts into more manageable fragments. Furthermore, I get immense enjoyment out of watching individuals begin to grasp ideas that were previously difficult to understand.

Ever since I was an elementary student, I was actively involved in humanitarian work with my missionary parents. I was born in Brazil and lived in multiple Spanish speaking countries in South America. I was always involved with tutoring orphans and disabled children my entire childhood. At age eighteen, I moved to Africa for 3 years where I volunteered as a teacher in elementary schools, amongst other humanitarian projects such as, natural disaster aid relief, rehabilitation programs in war torn countries and public speaking.I am outgoing, work well with all ages and cultures. I like working with people and I especially enjoy teaching children. I am a mother of three children, all of which I taught to read before their first birthday. I am a strong advocate of early learning and know that with proper attention and consistency children will learn anything.English is my first and best language. I also speak spanish and portuguese. I am currently studying studio arts at SWC. I have a GPA of 4.0 and have received an A in all of the classes I had taken so far, including math, spanish bilingual and english. Currently, my studies are on pause as I am dedicating some time and attention to my art career. I started an online store for my paintings and am working on another reclaimed signature furniture start up.I am ambitious, reliable and upbeat.

During the course of my academic career (San Diego State University, 3.7 GPA, B.A. in English Honors), I worked for three years with Poetic youth, an organization dedicated to providing creative writing workshops to communities in San Diego. I have worked with middle and high school age students for extended weekly sessions and one-time events. I thoroughly enjoy forming positive relationships with students and guiding them to what they want to achieve. Most recently I've had the privilege or working in the Fulbright U.S. Student Program as an English Teaching Assistant in Indonesia. As a cultural ambassador, I worked in the classroom and community in Balige, North Sumatra, where I learned valuable interpersonal, intercultural, and classroom management skills. My experience in the Indonesian classroom has prepared me to be a flexible and quick-thinking educator, able to reliably engage with students on a daily basis. In both my academic and professional life, I have been consistently praised as hard-working and genuine by my professors and peers. I plan to bring this same sincerity and tenacity to your program. After reviewing my resume, I hope you will agree that I am the candidate you're looking for. I look forward to elaborating on how my specific skills and experiences will benefit your organization.

I am patient and I can easily come up with different ways to teach something. I am an empathetic person who can understand the student's struggle and I try to help them as much as I can. I've taught dance to children with autism, to children in middle school and to children in elementary schools from all across the SD county. I am pretty funny and get along really well with children.

I have always had a passion for teaching other people subjects I understand. I've always debated between Higher Education and Computer Science for my career. For a long time, I wanted to be a teacher and will still like to do some tutoring because I know I will enjoy it. Also, I do have experience tutoring Music Theory and teaching people to play instruments such as piano, violin, and trumpet. I love being organized and have taken leadership roles both a church and at my current job at Chick-fil-a.
