Find a Local Tutor Who Gets It

I was a substitute teacher in Honolulu, Hawaii with Kelly Educational Services. I tutored students grades K-12 in Science, Entry-level Mathematics to Algebra 1, and English Reading and Writing. I was offered a position to teach English as a second language overseas in Korea but decided to pursue a teaching career in California instead. I am currently working toward earning my teacher certification in the state of California and anticipate passing the CBEST next month.

This past year, I have really developed a passion for teaching kids through my volunteer work tutoring. I believe that I am patient, clear, and able to connect well with students. I am a very dependable person, and reliability is one of my strong values. I have had a lot of experience creating problems for students to solve themselves and persisting with this process until we both feel confident that they understand the material. I was a very motivated and excelled in high school, and I think that I could help to spread this attitude to students.

I think i would be a great tutor because of my passion for learning and especially for the subjects I listed above. Furthermore, I would be tutoring for my own educational benefit, so I would have a positive attitude and be patient towards students. I am also aware that part of tutoring is to motivate students to work hard in their classes, and I think i can do this from personal experience as I have made my way from barely graduating high school (but still getting 5's on AP Calculus) to academic probation at the local community college and then struggling through community college while working full time as a waiter, to where i am now at UCSB and most recently, I got straight A's this last quarter after I decided to retire from restaurants and focus on academics full time. I am also a gifted individual intellectually, and in particular I think the reason I will be a good physicist and a good physics/calculus tutor is that I can seemingly think of 10,000 different ways of explaining the same concept so I am confident that I will be able to reach students. Furthermore, I have proven myself reliable through previous employment but you can also count on my to be reliable because not only would I be tutoring for employment but I would be doing it for fun as well. I think I could build good relationships with my students through my positive attitude and broad knowledge which i hope they would find captivating.

I worked for six years as a teaching assistant for my local temple's Sunday school. I have what it takes to make sure that students understand the material to their fullest extent and are having fun while learning because of my experiences there. While teaching grades K-6 it was often my job to observe what methods of teaching were and were not helping the information stick for the children - after which I would help devise lesson plans that I thought would get them fully engaged in the material. This method worked incredibly well and I always made sure to have the student's best interests in mind. I understand that getting stuck or not having a clear understanding of something can be incredibly frustrating so I am always patient and understanding when teaching or explaining. I am a stickler for time and always arrive a bit earlier for appointments. If I have a set appointment with someone, I honor that and want to be respectful by meeting them at the correct time, date, and place.

I am mature, friendly (I have a great report with most of my students), responsible, reliable, and genuinely care about helping students to learn. I have reliable transportation, and take my work seriously.Sylvan Learning Center (grades 7-12), English reading and composition, Addis Educational (grades 7 - 12), English reading and composition and S.A.T reading and composition.

As an elementary school teacher, I love working with students and helping them learn. I am very personable and my students have told me that I am good at creating a supportive and positive environment conducive to learning. Further, I am well versed in the common core standards and the ideologies that inform current educational theory. As seen in my resume, I have held many positions that require high reliability such as a gymnastics instructor and an office manager. In both of these positions, I had numerous personal responsibilities that, if they were not done, would leave the company at risk of losing business. My strong work ethic and my commitment to education will allow me to keep all appointments and establish positive and constructive relationships with my students.During the previous school year, I tutored a 2nd-grade student in increasing her reading comprehension. I used assessment data to design activities that would address her particular learning needs. In my student teaching assignments in the 2013-2014 school year, I would often pull students aside in 2nd grade and in 6th grade to work on specific math, reading comprehension, and writing skills.

My university accomplishments and impressive GPA are a testament to my knowledge of material and commitment to success (and thus, my reliability in terms of maintaining professionalism with my students and keeping appointments). However, that's only half the story. I am also very amiable and effective at communicating, two indispensable qualities I feel are necessary for my success as a tutor. Please give me the opportunity to meet with your team and show you why!
