Find a Local Tutor Who Gets It

I have tutored three people for the RICA because they had taken it and failed. After their study sessions with me they were all able to pass. I also have a letter from a parent on my webpage that vouches for my reading techniques for struggling readers, please see. I love teaching and utilizing different techniques until we find one that works for the individual. Everyone is unique and learns in a different way. I implement multi-sensory actives and take several different approaches in order to figure out what really works for each student.

I have been a private tutor for about 3 and a half years, and it is by far my favorite way to engage with younger people, and with the discipline of education in general. I consider myself an enthusiastic learner and researcher, but an even more enthusiastic educator.

I will be a great tutor because I have experience working with a diverse group of student's who are from a variety of backgrounds, grade levels, and skill levels. I have worked with student's at San Diego State who are still developing their writing and reading skills. I have tutored them through the Writing and Rhetoric Fellow program and The Writing Center. I have a car and I am able to meet student's where it might be best for them and I am a reliable person who is never late and always in communication. I love helping student's improve their writing skills and it makes me happy to watch them grow. I am developed strong relationships with past student's I have helped.

I have a passion for helping people and I love children. I have tutored for the SAT in the past and spent last semester as a member of a club at UC Berkeley called The Sage Mentorship Project, where I provided in-class tutoring to a third-grade class. I adore teaching and love the feeling of seeing a child's face beaming when they finally understand a concept. I am a reliable person in general, with a desire to always be there for my students. I would love to help as many people as I can, and provide instruction to as many students as need my help. I am also currently a gymnastics instructor for children aged 4-12, so I know a thing or two about being enthusiastic, encouraging, and fun!

I am a professional educational interpreter with 25 years’ experience in K-12 classrooms. I have worked hand in hand with teachers 6.5 hours per day, 5 days a week, assessing educational access and identifying knowledge gaps. My primary role is to provide access to education and I’ve learned to do that successfully by organizing subject matter, engaging students, emphasizing key elements and delivering a customized learning experience. All of this is done in American Sign Language with Deaf students but is easily transferred to the general student population. I am currently on staff with San Diego Unified School District placed at a middle and high school campus. Each school day I go from theatre, to advanced physics, to integrated math, to English, to chemistry, to music and so on. I adapt my academic language and objectives in each classroom according to each student. I am agile of mind and analytical by nature. I have learned to build authentic relationships with students that proves to add to the effectiveness of my services. I love what I do and I love being in a classroom. I believe my skills and motivation would be a good match for Grade Potential Tutoring. In my current position, I am done by 2:30 each weekday and off the calendar for summer break. I would like to fill in my calendar with tutoring assignments.

I am a good tutor; I have the passion to teach and the patience to teach explain the materials to students. I experienced tutoring in Spring 2014, and I liked it. I realized that I know how to pass the information to students. I also attended a training in Santa Barbara City College about tutoring, and it did really help me on knowing the strategies, the techniques, and the challenges of tutoring.

I could motivate the students using different types of mnemonic devices and increasing their awareness by doing a problem derivation like deriving formula on your Physics Class that the students could us for them to learn in their long term memory instead of memorizing otherwise, it would be only put on their short term memory on which they could forget those lessons causing them not to apply their lesson.My tutoring experience was on the time when I was tutoring students from this class Integrated Math 3 and AP Calculus AB, grade their test papers, and teach on how you could motivate the class by playing a games and disciplining the students even though I work as a Teaching Assistant on a High School Setting.

I would be a good tutor because I am currently a college student and I have experience with many subjects but primarily have a greater knowledge in science course. I have worked with Elementary and Middle school students before for about a year and a half in a day care program that included helping kids with their homework, so that experience would really help me in tutoring.
