Experience
I have tutored 1-3rd grade in an after school program in inner city Chicago. I was also homeschooled all the way from kindergarten to senior year of high school. I grew up explaining things to my little sister and helping her understand school related concepts. I enjoy coming up with creative ways to explain concepts. My mother is an English teacher and an English Nazi so I grew up diagramming sentences and writing papers to fit her standards. I have received As in all of my college-level English and literature classes. I have a passion for people and the way they process their lives. Psychology seemed like an obvious route to pursue with that love in mind. I would like to go on and obtain my masters in counseling after the completion of my undergraduate degree. I grew up overseas as the daughter of missionaries. Thus, I have an understanding of different cultures and ESL related techniques and approaches to learning. I desire to be a tutor because I understand how difficult schooling can be in a person’s life if they don’t understand it or cannot keep up with their classmates. I want to be part of the solution to reducing their stress and fostering an environment that allows for questions, mistakes and true learning. My goal would be to build the students up and not to tear them down. Sometimes, all people need is a little motivation and a lot of encouragement. All people are smart enough to learn.
