Joshua: Petaluma tutor

Certified Tutor

Growing up around the world in a bilingual household, I have had many opportunities to learn in different settings. Consequently, I excelled in various systems and have been educated in diverse topics. In addition, I molded my life, and university studies to bolster my knowledge in languages, international business, politics and other issues. Ultimately, as an expert of many topics, I believe it is best to educate others and assist them in their journey to develop proficiency in various subjects like I was able to do because of great teachers.

With my expertise, I am confident that I will be of much assistance to each individual. As of January, I possess a set of Bachelor's degrees, one in Political Science and the other in Asian Studies, from the University of Utah. In studying various subjects at the University of Utah, I was able to develop expertise in diverse topics, had the opportunity to tutor and teach others based on my expertise. This, in turn, has enabled me to view different attitudes that students possess towards learning and mold my teaching methods to fit their needs.

Moreover, I am equipped with the knowledge and skills to aid each student, individually. I am certain that, based on experience, I will be engaged in all aspects of teaching, accomplish tasks in a timely manner, provide aid and support to others as needed, and foster communication with our students. This has been apparent with my previous work experiences as an English, Japanese and Korean tutor, as well as a Spanish teaching assistant and Korean teaching assistant. Additionally, I anticipate that my extensive knowledge of various languages (Korean, Japanese, Spanish and English) will be of much help as individuals from diverse backgrounds request aid and need our services.

In conclusion, I plan to do all I can to educate others, help students constantly and cooperate extensively to support Varsity Tutors and each individual. This opportunity truly is an invaluable experience that will further my understanding of human interaction, and enable students to develop deeper knowledge of desired topics. Therefore, I plan to support each student in all areas and to the greatest capacity possible. Thank you for your consideration and I hope to hear from you soon.
