I cannot wait to learn about your student. I am currently a 6th grade teacher, and have also taught 2nd grade. I enjoy teaching because of how much I learn from my students.

I believe that tutoring is not about repeating classroom instructions or teachers’ curriculums. It’s about figuring out how the student learns and teaching from that point. No student is the same, and it’s not right to assume all students learn in the same way. That’s why I love tutoring – it allows me to get to know someone and help him or her learn in a way that works. When I was in school, I...

...do I want to teach? When I was young, I had a mini schoolhouse in my backyard with a sign on the front door that read, "Ms. Montag's Classroom." I spent hours in that schoolhouse teaching my imaginary class, outlining lesson plans, and disciplining the "students" when they would disrupt the lesson. Since I can remember, I have wanted to be a teacher. When I came to the conclusion around the age of six that...

I believe all students can learn. We just need to find the right ways to teach them. Not every student learns in the same way, so it is up to teachers and tutors to help students discover how they learn best. It is often hard to find this out in a classroom of 25 or more students, but with a tutor, students can often find out how they can become lifelong learners and enrich their...
