Experience
I have worked as a tutor for elementary students for the past year and a half with Tutor Doctor, Inc, based in Littleton, Colorado. I am interested in being a tutor because I am energized by the prospect of using my particular academic skills and abilities to help others to achieve their own potential. Tutoring, for me, is about making a profound and lasting connection to a student through a combination of intellectual rigor, patience and flexibility, and mutually creative problem solving. Moreover, as my resume indicates, I have a high degree of intercultural competency, an acute understanding of child psychology, and proven expertise in a wide range of subject areas.
