My motto on tutoring and teaching has always been "Work yourself out of a job." I think that the tutor's job is to promote self-sufficiency, study skills, and the ability to learn, through the help of a tutor. I have been a college and pre-college tutor in a community college for two years, and a private tutor for a high school student for several months. I am a huge believer that students are capable, and so patience and slight guidance are vital. Organizational skills, study skills, and independence are what tutors are to nurture and build in their students. My specialty is English and all subjects associated with it, but I am trained and experienced with a variety of subjects. I will not do the student's homework for them; rather I will motivate, guide, and teach confusing aspects of the assignment.
