Find a Local Tutor Who Gets It

I am a very patient and passionate individual. I have worked with kids since and feel comfortable to handle the energy they exert. I like to have children figure out why things work the way they do-- I give them clues and try to push them to come to a conclusion themselves (even if it may be wrong, they're thinking critically).I have never been fired from a job. I am on time and provide 120% of my dedication. I keep my personal problems out of the work space and am willing and eager to see what I learn from whatever it is that I do, every day.

Literature and writing are central passions in my life, and I have a deep interest in sharing the joy and enrichment of reading with others. My younger sister struggled with reading and writing throughout her school career. She hated books, and she was obstinate in her dislike of reading. I knew that if books could become real to her; if she could just understand that within each great work of literature are universal themes that apply to all of us, that books have the power to test and challenge our imaginations and preconceptions, then I could help her to foster a lifelong appreciation of reading. And I succeeded in doing just this! Once she understood that a book is not just a dense chunk of lifeless words that we are arbitrarily asked to read, but is instead a rich and living thing with which you can have a deep and engaging relationship, she became an avid and successful reader, and her grades in English went from C's to A's. I feel like I can bring this passion to any interaction I have with a student, and win over even the most hardened bibliophobe into a lifelong lover of literature. Writing is my other forte, and I have sharpened many a clumsily written and argued paper into a convincing and stylistically satisfying whole, and I always relish the opportunity to work with words. I have won awards and accolades for both my academic and creative writing, and I have edited and reviewed for professional journals and websites. If I can help graduate students refine their essays (as I have in the past) then I am confident that I would be a successful tutor for all your customers in need writing aid.

French is my mother tongue. I have spent an important part of my life in France. I speak it at home. The French language, history and culture are an integral part of my being. I am passionate to share my knowledge with others. What will make me a great tutor is not only my skills in the French language or my perfect scores in this subject but most importantly it's because it is a fundamental part of my life that I am so eager to teach to others.

For me, teaching is where I would like to end up as a career goal. I have always loved helping students and presenting information in a way that is easy to understand for them. Rather than going straight into graduate school for my Masters in Education and Teaching Credential, I am taking a year off to gain some more experience and raise money for schooling. I have taken numerous courses at UCSB that have been centered around teaching with many different styles, pedagogies, and techniques. I also get along great with any student making paring and communication easier for them to feel comfortable to ask any question that they have in any manor without embarrassment.

I am a very patient individual, and coupled with my thorough understanding of various mathematic disciplines I can be a great asset to a students learning. I am a very punctual person who has never missed a class in my four years of university. I take pride in being reliable and helpful to anyone who crosses my path.

I have found my prior positions in tutoring and mentoring to be a rewarding and enriching experience. I have experience working with children through tutoring, teaching tennis, and volunteering. Working with the Crawford W. Long middle school moot court program allowed me to help the competitors build confidence in writing and public speaking. While tutoring math in high school and college for students of varying abilities, I learned how adjust my strategies for each individual. Finally, whether I am tutoring children or running a tennis clinic, I enjoy keeping the atmosphere light and watching the participants have fun.Having worked in both the financial and legal world, I understand the importance of punctuality and reliability. I approach all of my obligations with a professional attitude and tutoring is no different.

I am a excellent student therefor I pick up things quickly. which I can then pass on to students whom struggle a bit more in the subjects. From the times I have toured I made sure that the students never left the seat without knowing they at least comprehended the basic. I am very patient and enjoy learning and teaching others. I put myself in the students shoes and having a to tour cancel me would be only harming and a waste of my time. Therefor I would always see that all the material was finished and understood before even considering to cancel. I feel very confident in the subjects above mentioned because I have had those courses before and done very well. And if so subject was unclear I would make sure they get the proper tutoring and not go into a subject blindly.

My tutoring experience has taught me that in order to be a good tutor or teacher, knowing the subject is just a fraction of the requirements. I like to have open communication with the students. Knowing their personalities and habits allows me to adjust my tutoring strategies to fit their needs. I understand the importance in keeping my commitments to only because its the job, but because I enjoy the time I spend with students.
