Don't let your child get so far behind that they can't catch up! I believe my enthusiasm helps others learn. I've been tutoring from an early age, second grade, when I started tutoring my friends in reading and English. I have taught everything from reading to calculus to skiing and camping skills. I don't have much formal training in education, but I believe I'm a good tutor, because people have sought me out and recommended me to others for tutoring. I've also been employed as a part time trainer in the IT field for 3 years now.
I believe that it is important to understand the process to get the right answer (so that a student can do it independently later) compared to just getting the right answer. Learning the study skills is part of what I try to include in my tutoring. I also try to relate subjects to a student's interests and the real world. I often find that makes it more exciting and motivating to learn the subject. I prefer to build relationships with both the child and parents, but am available for both long-term tutoring as well as tutoring for specific projects, such as a research paper or tests.
