English/Reading Tutor

I do not have any professional (meaning paid) experience in tutoring, but I have helped many friends and classmates with their reading/writing skills. I love to write, and am an excellent out-loud reader and would love to help out any child struggling in this particular subject. I have written many essays in my high school years, all of which were almost always very highly graded, with personal compliments from my teachers. I can teach grammar, vocabulary, reading, writing, critical thinking, or anything to do with English! (I also have some experience with Poetry, if your child is seeking help with that). I look forward to working with all of you and hopefully picking up those grades!

Crafty And Creative Part-Time Nanny/Babysitter Available

I am currently working towards attaining my Child Development degree while working part-time in a child care setting. My hobbies include crafts, drawing, sewing, volunteering, biking, and reading. My greatest strengths are my creativity and ability to problem solve. Be it crafting, inventing new games to play, or just discovering a new book at the library I think being able to work with kids in different settings is fun and rewarding. My most recent nanny position consisted of 20 hours a week assisting with children ages 4-8. In this position I assisted with errands, after-school pickup, homework, grooming and meals. I have worked with teens, ages 14-17, as an after-school tutor with an emphasis on reading and writing and as a rehabilitation specialist. I have experience with disabilities, creating lesson plans, and pet care. I aim to make my interactions with families as fun and honest as possible, this means keeping clear and open communication as well as forming a trusting bond.

Substitute Teacher

Responds within minutes
Hi, my name is Nam and I am currently working as a substitute teacher for different districts. I recently finished a long-term assignment in South L. A. teaching reading/phonics and science to kindergarten and 1st grade students. I majored in Television, Film, and Media Studies with an emphasis in Broadcast Journalism from California State University, Los Angeles. As an in-home tutor for the past 5 years, I provided one-on-one instruction to students in the areas of language arts and math. The assigned students are initially administered a preliminary test to determine their weaknesses in the different aspects of a particular subject matter. I tutor each student at his or her own pace using detailed curriculum packets and worksheets to enhance their education. My experience in preschool through 12th grade classrooms have taught me a great deal on the learning habits and behavior of children. I've also been employed as an after-school program leader from different companies.

Creative Teacher For Creative Learners

Hi there! My name is Emma and I'm a recent graduate of USC's esteemed School of Cinematic Arts. While film making definitely not an average college degree to get, I was accepted not once but TWICE to the highest film school in the world (two majors). I was in multiple honors societies, including Phi Beta Kappa, and graduated Magna Cum Laude with a GPA of 3. 88. I wasn't always the top of my class though - I was born dyslexic and struggled with reading, writing, math and grammar from an early age. This runs in my family, and my younger brother (10 yrs old) has dyslexia as well. I grew up learning in school with various different methods, which has ultimately put me not only on track through academics but has placed me at the top of my class. I actively help teach my younger brother how to read and learn other coping skills to get around his learning issues, and I'm passionate about helping other students do so as well!

Tutor

July 27, 2020 Dear potential employer, Throughout my educational journey, I have been inspired by the difference a dedicated teacher can have on her students. I am inspired to teach students to the best of my ability that I have been preparing for through the course of the past 5 years. My strengths and qualifications are an ideal match for the job description. In former work, I have been are unrelated to the education sector of work, but I have gained a lot of customer service skills and have developed great communication skills and patience for others. I am more than ready to work with students since I have gained experience in tutoring them in classrooms during clinical hours for school. This position is especially exciting for my professional development because it aligns with the missions and values of an educator who is dedicated to her students.
