Experience
Qualifications: French Spent a year abroad in France taking courses with native speakers. Reading, writing and speaking are on a native level. Writing Consistent "A's" on essays throughout university. Tested out of entry level university writing requirement. Music 13 years of experience playing cello. Principal chair throughout various youth orchestras. Member of UCSB Symphony Orchestra. Alumni of Interlochen Arts Camp - a National Medal of the Arts recipient. Previous Tutoring Experience: French - Planned weekly hour long lessons reinforcing speaking, writing ,and reading skills; Lessons conducted entirely in French; Student able to write with little to no errors after two months; Reading comprehension increased to native level after two months Music (cello) - Taught special-needs child fundamental musical skills in weekly hour long sessions; Student able to read complex pieces advanced for his age group after a year Without spending time understanding the basic building blocks of any subject, it's easy to become lost and confused. How are you supposed to write an essay without first understanding proper paragraph structure? As a tutor I feel like it's important to reinforce basic concepts introduced in class so the student can be a better participant and understand how to achieve success throughout the rest of his or her academic career. Sometimes teachers just don't have the resources or time move at a comfortable pace for every student. I feel it's the job of a tutor to help correct this imbalance so the student can keep up with the rest of the class. I've used tutors throughout my academic career to help me understand subjects I found difficult and without this extra help, I feel like my secondary school career would have been a lot more stressful and I would not have been able to reach my full potential. I hope to provide the same benefit in tutoring your child.
