Personal Statement

I am interested in helping young students excel at and enjoy their studies by sharing my passion for academics with them. As a graduate of Pomona College (ranked #4 National Liberal Arts College by U.S. News and World Report; I graduated with a 3.7 cumulative GPA and two B.A. degrees in Neuroscience and Dance), I am a motivated, hard working, dependable person who enjoys helping students excel in their studies. I am personable and have good communication skills, and would be comfortable instructing a variety of subjects. In 2009, I was employed at C2 Education, where I tutored students in grades K-12 in reading, writing, math (elementary through pre-calculus), science (chemistry, biology), SAT/ACT prep (all subjects), and SSAT/ISEE prep. I have also been employed as a private tutor for students in Honors Chemistry and ACT test preparation. I am looking to return to tutoring and instruction as part-time employment. I am available Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays (I work MWF). I have reliable transportation and am willing to travel up to 10 miles (one-way) from Fullerton. Pay is negotiable depending upon number of hours/week, subjects tutored, etc. Student must provide instructional materials (i.e. textbooks, worksheets, test prep books, homework from school, etc.). My methodology for tutoring involves allowing the student to express their difficulty with the subject material, while also guiding the student to clearer ways of understanding and preparing for exams through discussion, practice problems, and breaking down complex topics into simpler steps. I will focus on the material that the student is responsible for comprehending, while also demonstrating effective study habits that the student can apply to their studies in general. I would welcome the opportunity to put my skills and love for academics to work, and I look forward to further discussing my qualifications with you.
