Find a Local Tutor Who Gets It

Through my own education I have continuously helped my peers through subject matter as well as formally tutored younger students in their course work. With that said, I am able to communicate and thoroughly explain a topic to someone in different ways depending on their own experience level. I am a fourth year at Poly and have long since figured out how to organize my commitments in such a way that I can accomplish as much as possible without slacking oh my high standards of efficiency and completeness. I know that as a tutor I have the responsibility to be an aid to the student and I understand being late to appointments, etc. is not beneficial to any party involved.

I know how to interact with younger students. I have not only tutored younger students before, but I have also coached them while participating in volleyball camps over the summer. I have patience to prevent them from feeling rushed, but determination that causes me to completely have faith in the abilities of the student. I am interested in pursuing work that is related to my major because I would actually enjoy going to work. I am already a punctual individual, but having a job that I enjoy would make punctuality that much more easier. This is why you can count on me as a reliable worker.

One of the reasons I felt confident about tutoring in high school was that I was regularly asked for help by the other students in my classes. I learned to explain problems solving strategies clearly and simply and this ability was sharpened by my experience as a tutor. When I was tutoring, I would regularly ask the student questions to make sure he/she was learning, understanding and improving. Each of the three students I tutored improved in their math classes by at least one letter grade while I was tutoring them. In fact, the father of one of students was so pleased with his daughters improvement in her Algebra class that he gave me a large raise of his own accord. The students and their parents also appreciated the fact that I was always prepared and on time.

I am a Cal Poly SLO sophomore biochemistry major, with a passion for learning and expertise in biology, chemistry, and math through the level of calculus 3. Not only have I held a position for the past 5 years working with kids ages 4-12 at an art school, I have been tutoring classmates, and even upperclassmen since my sophomore year of high school. In high school I was involved with the International Baccalaureate program, giving me a strong foundation in biology, psychology, math and chemistry--which I have built upon during my first year at Cal Poly. I am a detail oriented, and outgoing person who works well with other people. I would bring my positive attitude and passion for learning to any tutoring job, to guarantee anyone needing help with their studies sees results, but also enjoys learning the material.

I would be a great tutor for Grade Potential because I am a really patient and understanding person. Working four years with underprivileged students has made me realize that some people do not have access to the educational advantages that we take for granted. As a tutor, I strive to understand all of my students' problems regardless of past educational experience with the subject.

I think that I would be a good tutor for your company because I have a real passion for working with children and helping them reach their individual potential. I am a very patient and caring person, and I like to take the time to scaffold each child's individual learning so that they progress on their own with my support. I take education seriously and I am very reliable and responsible, with my own car and my 9 month old daughter to support. I have had past experience tutoring with Tree of Knowledge Educational Services, mainly working with grades K-2 and mainly with English language learners.

I understand that people learn in different ways, and that it is important to find that before launching into the learning. I have experience communicating to a variety of different people which makes me an expert in visual teaching, written and question based teaching, collaborative and conversational teaching. I am great with discussing examples and case studies to gain insight into theory and I ask the questions that draw out the thinking behind business, especially marketing. I am very reliable and love what I do. I currently work as a key marketing strategist for a billion dollar brand, working with some of the best in the industry from strategy, to concepting, to execution and post production of marketing campaigns.

I have one year of experience teaching English to ESL students ages 3-12 in South Korea. I resided in Bundang, a province close to Seoul. I taught classes of up to 11 students in the subjects of grammar, writing, alphabet and phonics, history, social studies, science, math, arts and crafts, music, and cooking. Responsibilities included grading, test making, quarterly reporting, and giving weekly quizzes. I was a kindergarten homeroom teacher to three 6 year olds. My responsibilities included classroom management, lunchtime supervision, chaperone on monthly field trips, and adviser to special events. I am very reliable when it comes to keeping my appointments. I believe time is a valuable commodity in this day and age, especially with a student's busy schedule. When I schedule an appointment, I keep it.
