Experience
Volunteered with the BLAST Program in Long Beach from Jan 2009-May 2009. Assisted with the after school program for socio economically poor elementary schools. Locations where I worked varied but mostly with 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grade students. Helped them with their homework, reading, studying for upcoming spelling tests, math tests, etc. The reason I want to be a tutor is because I understand the difficulty and stress that comes with trying to receive a higher education and making sure you're doing well and understanding the concepts and items you're studying and learning. So I'd like to help those like me who are capable but struggling. The way I learned was by doing weekly tutoring sessions with the academics department at my own school so I do know it really helps especially figuring out what the best method for studying is for a particular student and using that to help them grasp what they're learning. I am also extremely patient, dedicated and I don't give up and I won't let the student give up or put themselves down. I can't and no are not in my vocabulary. If something doesn't work I will keep trying until we find something that does.
