I discovered my love for tutoring while in college. I tutored many students in many different content areas. I have almost 10 years of teaching experience. I have taught multiple grades as well as ability levels. I have experience with elementary/middle school/high school level students. My skills in responsive thinking, sensitivity, patience, high motivation and enthusiasm are valuable skills that I want to pass on to others. I believe tutoring students is the perfect environment for me to inspire and encourage. This is my motivation for pursuing a career in teaching and I feel that I have a lot to offer young people. Thinking about my own experience in education, I appreciate the incredible impact that teachers have on the lives of young people. I know that teachers provide skills and knowledge used by young people throughout life. Therefore, as a teacher, my greatest aim is to be a role model. I want to cultivate open minds, the knowledge and ability to look at the world critically, and students' belief in their own capacity to make positive contributions to society.
