Find a Local Tutor Who Gets It

I am an energetic and enthusiastic person with a great ability to make material fun for people I work with. I am very knowledgeable when it comes to the material, and if I do not feel comfortable with the subject matter, I will strive to learn more until I become comfortable with it. I always put my students' interests ahead of my own and I will work hard to make sure they get the most out their education. I am a very reliable person who is punctual and reliable. When I agree to do something I follow through with it and don't make excuses. I have always been one of the most trusted and reliable employees wherever I have worked at and my employer has always trusted me with any assignment.

I believe I would be a good tutor for Grade Potential because in my five years of college courses, I have been taught various techniques as to how to teach students of all levels. Differentiation is the main focus at CSULB, and they ingrain in all their future teachers the ability to adapt lessons for students all levels so that the content is equally accessible. Most of the schools I have taught in had a majority student population of English Language Learners. Due to this, CSULB also taught us how to implement SDAIE strategies into our teaching so that we also have a CLAD embedded in our multiple subject credential. I can teach students from the range of an ELL student all the way to an Advanced Learner (and all in the same classroom).I have taught whole class, small group, and one-on-one in the classroom setting as a teacher.

As far as the material goes, I have always been a student who has been on top of her game. I strive to do my best and know the material I need to in order to succeed as a student myself. However, more than being a good student, I know how to communicate and work well with others. I am a people person and a leader, and I have always enjoyed helping others toward their own success. I especially enjoy working with kids, as I have in the past in my tutoring and teaching experience. I do my best to pay attention to the people I am working with in order to mold my approach to meet their needs. Furthermore, I am very reliable. I do not like to disappoint or let other people down, and I have always stuck to my commitments. If I make a commitment, especially one to another person, I always make sure that I follow through with it.

I have a great deal of training and experience in teaching through earning my credential, student teaching, and serving as a long term substitute. I love seeing students grasp concepts and take ownership of their learning. I enjoy teaching skills that will help students become successful learners for a lifetime. I am extremely reliable, having worked diligently to complete all components of earning my credential.

I have 3 years of formal teaching experience in San Francisco public schools. I am experienced in working with a diverse group of students and parents, and am bilingual and bicultural. For the past two years I have been a Peace Corps Volunteer in the Dominican Republic in the Community Environmental Development Sector. My main project involved working with middle school and high school youth, running an environmental club. My work with this group included both formal and informal lessons on environmental topics, facilitating community events and clean-up days, and planning and coordinating both local field trips and conferences on the national level. My secondary projects included formal courses in the high school. I taught biology and chemistry classes as a guest teacher in the local high school and tutored juniors and seniors for competitive science exams and the senior exit exam. I have excellent communication skills and am experienced in maintaining a professional relationship with parents as well as with students.

I think I would be a good tutor because I enjoy teaching people. I am able to communicate my knowledge effectively and I am patient and hardworking. I am a diligent student which will help in my ability to teach others. I am a full time student, but I have an open and flexible schedule. I have my own car and I pride myself on being punctual so transportation will not be an issue.

I am fully reliable, and take any commitment I make very seriously.I am also very good with breaking down information into its base forms, step-by-step so that the student can understand.I wrote a Math Book (unpublished) called "Filling the Gaps" where I explain Arithmetic for the adult reader who may not have grasped it in grade school. I used this as my textbook while I taught at Art Institute College of Design for students who failed the math proficiency exam.
