Why do you want to be a tutor?
- I have been tutoring for three years already, and have always thoroughly enjoyed my job. Most of you have probably heard the cliche explanations of how personally rewarding and enriching the teaching experience can be. To me, teaching isn't about making me feel good inside. I enjoy teaching and tutoring because I find people and the world around us endlessly fascinating.
Why should a student pick you?
- First and foremost, a student should pick me because although I am a teacher, i am still a student myself, and I view learning as an engaging and exciting lifelong activity. I have a knack for finding something interesting about every subject, and once something becomes interesting, learning becomes exciting.
I am also versatile, having taught everything from basic times tables to the irregular subjunctive forms of the German language. A student who works with me will not only learn about a specific subject, but he or she will also develop skills that can be applied to any subject, such as the ability to research, reason, and solve problems. I teach my students learn the most valuable skill in any education: how to teach themselves.
Personal Statement:
- I'm an English Writing and Rhetoric major at St. Edward's University. While my specialty with tutoring is writing and reading, I can also assist in languages--specifically, French and German. Most of my experience is with college students, both as a private tutor and teaching assistant for a Rhetoric and Composition II class, but I currently also teach middle school part-time. I work for a program for disadvantaged children, primarily those who have failed the state-required TAKS test. The sum of my experience has exposed me to students of many different ages, abilities, ambitions, and backgrounds. I have also worked with students with learning disabilities, as well as many non-native speakers of English.
I am an Austin native living in a carriage house in South Austin that I have spent the past two years of my life designing. I have a cat named Klaus, three beta fish (Cosette, Baudelaire, and Phantome), and an egg with a tiny duck growing inside of it (Quackula).
Any Last Words?
- There are only two kinds of people in the world: the kind that believe that there are only two kinds of people, and the kind that don't.
