Find a Local Tutor Who Gets It

First and foremost, I have experience in the education sector. This is limited professionally to preschool but I have spent plenty of time around educators and understand what the role of a tutor is. As a youth, I ran a golf summer camp for kids slightly younger than me where my role was education, albeit not in a scholastic manner. With the exception of my most recent jobs at breweries and my first job in a restaurant, everything I have done has been education related. It is an area I am extremely comfortable in and feel competent with regards to my abilities. My educational background also helps me adapt to individual needs and different personality types. As far as my personal education goes, I am a quick learner with a sharp memory. Not that I use it as a judgement of intelligence, but my SAT score was 2280. I take my roles very seriously and despise breaking my word. Work as a tutor would be fulfilling to me and more than enough incentive to approach the job in a professional and appropriate manner. I also have reliable transportation of my own and have no problem commuting modest distances.

I am reliable, I love to help others succeed, I learn from my mistakes, and I am ambitious in my pursuits. In the pursuit of being a tutor at Grade Potential, I would do my best to help my students understand the material and apply it. Being a premedical student, I strive to do my best in my science and math classes, the subjects I love the most. I speak, write, and read proficiently in spanish. I constantly practice spanish with my extended family and friends wherever I go. I have also had my share of struggles with a couple of high school teachers that were not the best, or patient, at explaining the material. I understand these difficulties and have learned how to go about them in different ways, all depending on the situation. I hold commitments in my church (leadership and help). I have held various responsibilities through the church and have learned not only how to lead, but also how to follow through. As long as I am alive and healthy, I am willing and able to fulfill the commitments I make to my students and to Grade Potential. I would not feel honored to handle such matters irresponsibly. I've been counted reliable in the past and the present, so there is every reason for me to be reliable in the future.

I understand that students learn material in different ways. Some need a "hands on" approach, others like visual, some like the written word and others ....well, you just have to get creative! I can adjust my teaching/tutoring to all different age groups as well as different learning styles. Find out what works and go from there.Reliable? I have to be! Showing up for work on time, an prepared, is essential for success. I have a proven track record of 14 years with our local community college. The only time I miss class is if I can't get out of bed or there is a family emergency. My family consists of jus t me and my 16 year old daughter. And since she got a car and a license, I don't see her much anymore - my days as a taxi driver are over!!Did I mention I have a great and fun sense of humor?

I'm patient and I relate problems to the real world and I'm reliable.I volunteer tutored Math, Physics, and Electrical engineering at Pima Community College in Tucson. Most of the math was remidial level, but some calculus and a few differential equations.I volunteer tutored math at Ironwood ridge high school to help kids pass their AIMS test.I taught a class in digital circuits at pima community college and I am currently teaching an adult ed class at SBCC

One of my current vocational goals is to work with students between 6-9 grade who are "at-risk" youth. This would be supplemented by Theater exercises and explorations to help these "at-risk" students understand the social repercussion of possible future actions. I love working with kids and have experience working with them on many Theatrical Productions. Helping first-time learners to understand the basics and to inspire a passion for learning and knowledge is my highest vocational goal.

I feel that I would be a good tutor for Grade Potential because I have seen past pupils make noticeable progress after our sessions. My "method" of being able to teach my students to know the material has been to help them see how much more they already know. It helps them to feel less intimidated by the grading and more amenable to having information stick. It is a method that is used in teaching classical voice lessons, but I have found it to be effective is most tutorial situations. Since I began tutoring/teaching privately, most of my students have been taught in their homes. I grew up in South Florida and had to plan well in advance to maintain my schedule. My promptness was one of my hallmarks. I have been working as a stage performer professionally since I was a teenager. This has made me quite the professional and I allow my professionalism to cross over into all of my endeavors.

Growing up I was never the kind of student who just "got" things. From elementary school all the way up to college I had to work harder than most students to get the same grades. Out of necessity I developed learning techniques that helped me excel in school. As a visual/kinesthetic learner I am confident I can help kids with the same learning style by showing them how to do something then having them try it out for themselves. In my Intro to K-12 Edcuation class at UCSB I also learned how to teach students with auditory, interpersonal, intrapersonal, logical, and musical learning styles.I worked all throughout college and am used to keeping appointments and filling commitments. Now that I have graduated my next goal is to teach English abroad. A tutoring job with Grade Potential would be of incredible value in my pursuit of an international teaching position.

My name is Mai. I am 23 years old, and I have just graduated from UCSB with a bachelors degree in English. I work very well with children and would love to help with tutoring. I have a lot of experience with children since I was/am a nanny for about 5 years now so I have a lot of patience and know how to handle children. I have helped many kids i have babysat for with their homework, so this has been a big help as well. Please let me know If I am a right fit for you.
