Find a Local Tutor Who Gets It

There are several reasons why I would be a great tutor for your company. First as a college student I've volunteered various times reading to children in multiple schools. Secondly I've shown I'm reliable and dependable by being employed in the same company for 3 years. Lastly I love to teach and instruct, I'm a natural leader.

I would be a good tutor because I am very patient, me being an Egyptian American meaning I was born in Egypt and raised here throughout early childhood i have been taught hands on, seen one on one tutors, and felt the accomplishment and success levels. I feel like I would like to share those same positive experiences with other people and I have also taught my family how to properly pronounce and annuciate a few of the more difficult words in the English language.

I am an experienced full time teacher who has taught multiple grade levels and learning levels. I am a punctual and prepared teacher who is not scared to put in the hard work or develop new instruction techniques. Working well with children has always been a strength of mine. I am outgoing and friendly as well as cooperative and accommodating. I will always do my best to make sure a child succeeds.

I can adjust my tutoring to all 3 major learning types: visual, auditory, and kinesthetic. I have always admired my teachers for passing on their knowledge to the next generation. I understand the frustration of not understanding a subject and the joy that then occurs when you improve and eventually master it. I know each child is unique, they all have different life circumstances and learning capabilities and experiences that have shaped them into who they are today. To get the maximum result when tutoring you have to adjust your tutoring to what fits the student, tutoring isn't about you the tutor passing on knowledge, it is about the student acquiring and applying knowledge in a way that makes sense to them.I am reliable as I strongly believe in punctuality and keeping one's word. No relationship can survive without trust and if I did not reliably meet my student's time and educational needs I could never expect for them to want to continue with me. I always make sure to give myself plenty of cushion when it comes to traveling to any appointment I go to, work-related or otherwise, to ensure I can account for things like traffic.

My education was based in Ireland as I have only recently moved to San Diego in California. However despite the distance from here to there, my passion for learning crosses all boundaries. My Honors Bachelor degree was in a multi-disciplinary course, where my major topics were Conservation, Biodiversity, Ecology and History. This broad range of subjects provided me with a great education in the natural sciences as well as the finer points of both world and European history, in addition to a plethora of other subjects, a full transcript of which can be attached or found on my linkedIn profile (https://www.linkedin.com/in/darren-joyce-irehist/). My strengths lie in English language, essay writing, reading, and subjects related to the conservation of earths natural resources, both flora and fauna. This is an area coming into increasing prominence in a rapidly changing world. It is my passion for the conservation and education of our world and the animals living on it that gained me my job at one of the best conservation institutes in the world ; The San Diego Zoo. Here I further this education by informing guests of the greater workings of the natural world and hope to continue to inspire young people to do the same. In addition, my second passion is History. While my specialty is in European history , I am confident in my knowledge of world history and classics as well and it has always been a personal interest of mine. In order to understand our future , understanding of the past is a very unappreciated resource, not alone due to the fact that history should be of great interest to anyone aware of the trials and tribulations of civilization, but also as a template to learn going forward. I am a determined and dedicated person and my training with TEFL has helped my develop an affinity for teaching and helping students understand and appreciate learning. For these reasons I would hope to be able to aid any students, young or old, who share an interest or require help in any of these areas! Please do not hesitate to contact me, as I know education systems can vary from country to country, however I ensure that the language of learning is universal.

I believe I would be a good tutor because I take into consideration how I would feel being introduced to a new subject and how I expect my tutor to fully explain the subject to me. I received a proficient score in both zoology and java programming and I am convinced I can explain it to more that are interested. I have already previously tutored in these subjects in my community college and I am excited for the opportunity to show these subjects (especially java) to younger kids in the hope that they are influenced to get a STEM field degree.

I'm patient and understanding when it comes to teaching a student a subject that is difficult for them to grasp. I have been tutoring my younger siblings and my relatives kids for a years and they have liked the way I explain to them. I explain in a way that is easy to understand.

I have a Bachelor's Degree in Social Science with an emphasis in teaching. This makes me an ideal candidate to work with older students in the fields of History, Economics, Geography, and Political Science. The degree I obtained involved over 20 units of classes aimed toward the field of education.Additionally, I have worked with Elementary aged students for the last 18 months. During this time, I have seen many different strategies implemented to help students, and have even developed reading and math strategies with students myself. During this time I have had many different supervisors, which made me accustomed to creating my own material and procedure for my students.
