Find a Local Tutor Who Gets It

I believe I would be a great tutor because I am patient and I love to learn. When you have a passion for learning, it's easier to get your student enthusiastic. I don't have official tutoring experience but I did used to help my brother with his homework when we were younger and I still, to this day, sometimes help my sister with her high school assignments. I would love nothing more than to be there to experience the excitement of a student when they finally understand something that has been difficult for quite some time. I also feel that kids are our future and when they are knowledgeable and confident in their skills, they will be successful strong individuals.

I have a lot of experience with children. I have worked in childcare, tutoring and coaching. I feel that my passion for education and my patience with others helps me to be an effective and trust-worthy tutor. I have tutored kids of varying skill levels, as well as editing papers for my peers in college. Furthermore, my experience working with non-native English speakers has bolstered my ability to deliver easily understandable explanations.

As a credentialed Education Specialist, I excel at supporting students who are struggling or having difficulty in most academic subjects. I am trained to use a variety of supports, such as graphic organizers to support more detailed and organized writing or chunking assignments to increase student productivity and success within a given period of time, to help students meet their academic and learning goals. I am trained in a variety of formal and informal assessments that help me identify where exactly a missing piece is in a student's knowledge of a subject they're struggling in. I am also good at analyzing work samples to come up with appropriate supports to help a student succeed. For example, if I see a student who lists a bunch of ideas in their writing, I know we need to go back and work on transition words and/or expanding each idea. I frequently communicate with parents about student progress and have worked with families from various socioeconomic backgrounds. I also have experience working with EL students, students with learning disabilities, and students on the autism spectrum.

I am an excellent tutor because I have relevant and ongoing experience(4+ years) as a professional tutor with students at the college level, as well as K-12 students. I have also worked freelance performing in home and online tutoring in the past. I have worked with a large number of students from a variety of ages, cultures, and backgrounds, so I know how to identify with individual students and help them feel comfortable.I am a steady, reliable and knowledgeable tutor; I am often early for my appointments and have not had to cancel.

I was a Classroom Activities Specialist for Hemet Unified School District for 3 1/2 years. The position required staff to help tutor students during homework time (an hour 5 days a week). I did both elementary and middle school ages with the program. I was also a tutor for a private company which went out of business. However, it allowed me to gain experience tutoring students on a more one-one level; students ranged from elementary to high school. Each of these jobs required me as an individual to create activities and circumstances that would allow for the students to learn subjects in ways geared more toward their own understanding, and engage them in fun ways.

I was an abused student in school and I am come to teaching to give students like myself a second chance, building their confidence and experience success. My passion to teach is my essence.My teaching style is creative and engaging. I often customized my materials to the student level and needs to make sure that they will get what they need.

I would be a great tutor because not only am I great with kids but I also am able to expand their knowledge in a way were they will not be bored out of their mind and daze off. I will typically meet in a library and help tutor elementary and high school kids as a group. If necessary, the parents of the students will typically ask me to help their child one on one on subjects they really struggle with.

I am an experienced tutor and I am available during the times/days needed. I live close to downtown. I am experienced working with 2nd grade through 5th grade, boys and girls.I have been working as a math instructor and was just laid off, so I am looking for a new opportunity.
