Experience
Dear Parents and Prospective students, My name is Alex; I'm a recent graduate from F.I.U. with a bachelors in Chemistry and am currently applying for graduate physical therapy programs. I've been tutoring students for over ten years and during that time I've had the chance to help a variety of students in a multitude of subjects. I've tutored students who are genuinely struggling with classes, students who are focused in collegiate athletic programs and just need to achieve a minimum SAT, and I even have experience tutoring the mentally handicapped. I generally like to keep my tutoring sessions fun and engaging because it tends to diminish the aversion some students have toward studying. Furthermore students are more likely to study the material when I am not present and this greatly increases the efficacy of the tutoring. Okay, now for a little more info on my tutoring experiences. So I guess my first foray into the world of private tutoring was when I was still in elementary school. I was enrolled in the gifted program at Jack D. Gordon elementary and when I was in 5th grade my teacher decided to assign all of her students a buddy in Pre-K whom we would teach how to read throughout the year. Fast forward over a decade later and that same kid is now enrolled at F.I.U. and I'm still tutoring him every now and then. I guided in Middle School, helped survive the International Baccalaureate program in High School, and I'm now helping him achieve his goal of ultimately getting a PhD in Physical Therapy. I kinda get attached to my students and like to see them succeed. I've tutored a variety of students through the years in a diverse range of subjects. However for the most part I've tutored students mainly in math (from elementary all the way to Algebra II) and English (reading, English composition, essay writing, etc.). I have also frequently tutored kids students in Chemistry, Biology, and Physics. Ultimately this is a job that I find very rewarding and to tell you the truth I don't really even see it as a job; it as more like a hobby. When I tutor new students one of the first things I like to do, even before I gauge their proficiency with the source material, is to see if they know how to study properly. Being able to study efficiently and effectively is vital to becoming knowledgeable in any subject. Essentially I can only have hands on time with a student for only a hand full of hours each week, what makes tutoring successful is having students know how to study and review material when they do not have a teacher or tutor nearby. Other than that I like to encourage students to arrive at answers in whatever method they find comfortable and not be restricted by the mechanical approach to solve problems often taught in classrooms. So that's about it. If you have any questions or need more information feel free to message me.
