Career Experience
In college, I realized the classes I appreciated the most were not necessarily the topics I was most interested in. Rather, it was the professors who made the classes enjoyable. These professors are always engaging and comprehensible when teaching the materials in the classroom, and willing to go the extra mile when asking for additional help for clarification. I tried to bring this knowledge to my teaching approach, do everything I can and make learning a pleasant experience. Use lesson plans in which they usually introduce a topic in a fun and creative way, then explicitly teach the material. Afterward, I always ensure time for students to practice the material on their own. Of course, this method can be adjusted based on the subject and the student's individual needs.
I Love Tutoring Because
I have a year of tutoring experience in a science classroom. I worked directly with any student who needed an additional assistant but also had a small focus group of 5-10 students in each of my 6 classes. These were the students who needed the most extra help, so I worked with them during class to make sure they didn't fall behind. Additionally, I held tutoring sessions every day after school where students could come for any homework help. In this setting, I tutored not only in algebra but also in geometry, biology, and physics. I want to benefit the students I work with as much as possible, therefore, welcoming any resources or suggestions students or parents can provide. I am easy to reach and will always provide the first responses. Feel free to contact me with any additional questions or to schedule a lesson!
