Experience Summary
As a graduate student, I was fortunate to teach "Government & Politics 101" to 20-30 undergraduate students. I was responsible for course instruction, assigning and grading classwork and research papers, and coordinated and graded exams. I was also responsible for determining and submitting final grades to the professors. In addition to these on-going tasks, I most enjoyed speaking with the individual students about their academic progress and their future goals. I was able to listen and provide feedback which enhanced upon the students career pursuits. I was also able to guide them when they needed additional information regarding their career path.
Teaching Style
I enjoy being in a position to lead children and/or adults toward academic success according to their goals. Throughout my employment, I was fortunate to enhance upon a variety of personality traits which I believe would make me an excellent tutor. The key traits I possess are the ability to motivate, to encourage, to guide, to negotiate, and to pursuade individuals. I believe children, and sometimes, adults, need considerate direction and knowledge to put them on the path toward their success.
