Experience
I have been a tutor for over 5 years, both in the US and in Korea while I was there teaching Kindergarten and ESL. I am former classroom teacher with a Master's degree in Education, so I understand teaching, learning, and classroom dynamics very well. Oftentimes students' struggles have as much to do with their relationship (or lack thereof) with their teachers as they do any possible gaps in conceptual understanding. I believe it is important for students to see tutoring as a positive experience and part of their day. Inundating an already struggling student, who may already be disenchanted by school, with more tedious instruction is counter intuitive. My goal is connect with my tutoring students, and encourage them to make the most out of their personalized learning opportunity!
