Find a Local Tutor Who Gets It

I am passionate about the applications of mathematics, which is why I am majoring in engineering. Mathematics is a subject that some students will disregard because they think they "aren't a math person", which is certainly not true. I am very comfortable with the subject, ranging from Intermediate Algebra to Pre-Calculus (I am currently a Calculus student). I am patient, understanding and encouraging, and I have a desire to help students to become proficient in math.

I have over 10 years of experience as a classroom teacher, and have also worked as a private tutor in the past. I currently teach local art classes and am homeschooling my daughter. I enjoy working with students in their home environments to help them gain a deeper understanding of academic subjects, and appreciate the fact that each child is an individual who learns in a unique way.

My past teaching experience and education in the field of special education has informed me of a variety of teaching strategies and best practices. I am familiar and comfortable with catering to a student's individual needs and strengths. I also performed very well in all subjects and standardized tests during primary and secondary school, and feel confident with all subject areas.

I grew up in a community with lots of disadvantages. Many of the teachers that taught me were ill prepared and lacked the connection with students which made it difficult to learn. The main reason why I succeeded in school was because of tutors that came and helped me understand the concepts being taught. They also helped me go through life's hardships that aren't directly tied with academia. It is a tutors job to help their students succeed in not only in academia but also: socially, mentally, and emotionally. I wish to return the favor and help students who were in the same position that I was, because I believe in the saying, " Every students has the potential to succeed, no matter what."

I believe that I would be a great asset to your team. I have a passion for learning and teaching and have many years of experience in teaching both children and adults. I taught taekwondo, kickboxing and dance to a broad range of individuals. I am personable, enthusiastic, and always dependable. I have worked in the restaurant industry for the past 8 years but would prefer working in a more one on one setting. I always try my best and take pride in coaching others to succeed. Helping people is my number one goal in life and I would love to be given an opportunity to work with your staff.

I have tutored students in high school prior to beginning university. I am patient and appreciate an interactive and comprehensive method to learning, where the student finds solutions on his or her own with only the guided help of the tutor. I am currently a swim instructor so I have much experience working with kids.

I would make a great tutor because I have a very strong connection to children. I enjoy working with them and find it fun. It is important to me to help children learn and went to school to get my Certificate for Child Development. I haven't tutored before but I have helped children in after school programs with their homework. I have more than 7 years of experience working with children. I am dedicated and dependent. I have proven my dedication over the past 20 years by consistently working to develop a career working with children.

I would be a good tutor with Grade Potential, because I am passionate about working with children and teenagers and helping others. I value hard work and enjoy working interactively with others to problem solve. Subjects of interest to me include history, business/economics, philosophy, and biology. My biggest scholastic strengths are reading and writing (understanding language and articulating thoughts). I have experience tutoring a high school age boy in writing by helping him interpret texts, formulate theses, structure paragraphs/essays, articulate and expand on thoughts/ideas, proofread, and edit papers. Additionally, I have experience working with children as a camp counselor and by giving golf lessons. I consider myself a very responsible, punctual, genuine, and respectful individual. And, for the above-mentioned qualities, I believe Grade Potential, parents, and students alike would consider me and reliable and effective tutor.
