Career Experience
Most of my experience tutoring has been private tutoring with students who struggle in a traditional classroom, and my younger brother was my first student. I started officially tutoring in my upperclassmen years of high school during my free period, which I continued through college. Directly after graduating, I took a job tutoring middle and high school students with learning disabilities. I have tutored several subjects, including English, math, history, and psychology.
I Love Tutoring Because
it's not just helping a student in a subject they struggle with, it's so much more. I feel that a student's relationship with academics is intertwined with their self-esteem, confidence, and independence. I have worked with many students who had negative ideas about themselves and their capabilities, who didn't want to try for fear of failure, who loathed school because it was a place that made them feel inferior to their peers. After working with these students and providing them with an environment that works for them, I see them gradually become more excited for our time together. They come in looking forward to the challenge of completing a worksheet, book, or essay. Watching this transition and being a part of a student's beginning to love learning is the thing I love most about tutoring. I believe learning is not just a phase of life that we outgrow after graduation; it's a part of life that we can use as a tool to achieve goals at any age. Helping students engage with school in a positive way is why I love and continue tutoring.
