Experience
Tutoring Experience: - Completed peer tutoring course : September 2011 - December 2011 - Tutored peer college students at Cal Poly University Writing Center in San Luis Obispo, CA : January 2012 - June 2012 - Tutored 3rd-9th grade students at Create My Tutor in Oakland, CA : September 2012 - June 2013 SAT Scores: (will update later) - Cumulative: 2100+ Math: 700+ Reading: 700+ Writing: 700+ Tutoring Outlook and Philosophy: - I'm passionate about reading, writing, and editing stories. My approach to tutoring involves a lot of listening and asking questions first, and providing direction second. My belief is that a tutor should strive to pass on understanding and capability to their students, so that eventually, tutoring should no longer be necessary. This process is different for every student in every subject--sometimes all it takes is a mental shift; sometimes it takes patience and practice. Either way, I do my best to approach tutoring from various angles so that students learn to write and express themselves clearly, concisely, and with their own unique voice.
