Find a Local Tutor Who Gets It

I have tutored for many years, starting in high school where I helped tutored peers in and out of the classroom; mainly in subjects related to mathematics. After completing high school, I continued tutoring in varies subjects in the after-school program with elementary students ranging from K-5th. I am very passionate about helping others learn, whether if it’s a student or a work colleague. I believe that everyone learns in a different way and strive to help them learn in their own way.

I believe that I would be a great tutor for your organization because I am very hard-working and understanding. I have tutored at my previous high school and I really enjoyed when underclassmen would understand difficult subjects when they would come in to get help. I am currently attending Oregon State University and in the ROTC program. I believe in honor, courage and commitment. I want to make sure that your students will be able to succeed and continue to learn.

I started tutoring at the Math Learning Center at Mira Costa College during the academic year of 2014-15 while I was taking my lower-division courses there. While working there I realized that I had a natural ability to explain math concepts to people in a way that makes sense to them. I can quickly get an idea of exactly what is confusing to a student and how that student most likely learns best. I had people tell me that I was the reason they did well on an exam, or even passed a math class, although I would always remind them that they were the ones that did all the work and I only gave them a little push in the right direction. I loved the satisfaction I received from helping people overcome difficult obstacles in their lives. Math is an art and a science, and I believe anyone is capable of doing well in it regardless of "natural ability or talent." I am proud to be a tutor and really enjoy being one. While watching someone at their job, regardless of what job that is, it is obvious if that employee is passionate about their work or not. I took my own education very seriously, and reliability has always been important to me. I am 31 years old and have worked a variety of different jobs, including being a navy medic, a shuttle driver, and even a salesperson, and all of these varied experiences have shaped my personality and continue to add color and depth to my tutoring.

I am an experienced educator who has taught a wide range of academic learners within varying demographics. As a patient and creative teacher, I seek to create a space for learning where all students have means to access their own understanding. My experience with creating differentiated learning supports all students, and as a tutor I have created instructional material that meets students where they are to help support them in their academic gains.

Being able to help someone learn something or become more knowledgeable has always something I leaned more towards just because I’ve always had someone around for me. I have tutoring experience with my nephews who always came home with homework and I’d be the one to go over with them. I love kids and I love to see them grow in certain aspects of life and so that is why i think would make me a more reliable person for this job.

I have always been the type to help and teach. I think all kids have a chance at a promising future, and with education there are no limits. I want to help mold kids for success, and build lasting relationships.I have tutored younger kids then myself in the past. I am great at anything involving literature/writing. I was expectional in high school, I have a 3.0+ average now as a college student. I am also proficient in astronomy, basic math, writing, essays, etc. I enjoy feeding my curiosity, and educating others does so.

I am patient and understand that different students learn different ways. I have on the job experience teaching interns in a science environment. I also have experience teaching kids who learn in nontraditional ways and try to be sensitive to any issues students may have.

I am a good tutor because I develop an innate understanding of students' learning style based upon our initial interactions. With this understanding, I am able to develop tutoring sessions for the students to receive exponential assistance with their subject matter. This results in students retaining what they are learning better and allows the tutoring sessions to flow easily with full concentration on the areas with the most ambiguity causing the misunderstanding(s).
