Experience Summary
I have been tutoring several different grade levels and subjects for the past four years. I am continuing on to my second year of college next year and am an aspiring teacher, which makes me very motivated to help students succeed academically. I have taken a couple of courses that supplemented a volunteer tutoring opportunity in which I learned about children's different learning abilities and cultural differences. I am now more prepared and aware of how to personalize teaching/tutoring practices for students with different abilities. My tutoring experiences include second, third, fifth, seventh, and eighth grade reading, writing, grammar, and critical thinking skills; and high school level Spanish, Math, and English. I have tutored in classrooms, in small group sessions, and in private one-on-one sessions. Also, all of the subjects I have mentioned as being able to tutor are subjects I have studied and in which I have excelled, passing each class with an A average and passing AP exams with a 4 or 5. Finally, I consider every tutoring experience an opportunity to connect with students and encourage their academic development through persistent practice and studying to help them apply better studying skills to other subjects as well.
