Don't Just Tell Me - Involve Me Tutoring

John M.

If you need someone who can help students bridge the gap between academic aspiration and true achievement, then please consider me as a tutor. I am passionate about working with students of all grade levels.

I think today's students are more responsive to learning environments that are immersive rather then passive and the best education programs consistently live up to this Chinese proverb: "Tell me, and I'll forget. Show me, and I might remember. Involve me, and I understand."

I gear my sessions in this way. Students are made to feel engaged in the material
with questioning and a keen understanding on my part of their learning temperament. We process the study problems together, step by step. They gradually gain confidence in taking ownership of the schooling process, with the realization that they have the power to advance their own abilities putting them on a path of learning self-sufficiency.

I have tutored students from the fourth through the 12th grade with my experience spanning five years. Most students I have helped have been in the math subjects ranging from Arithmetic to Algebra 2, but I have also tutored students in World & U.S. History, English, and Philosophy.

It is a big thrill for me when students report back about higher scores from recently taken tests. It is validation for the progress that they make from session to session all the while embracing proper study habits. This is what drives my enthusiasm for helping students and I am hopeful that these are the kinds of qualities you are looking for in a tutor.

Thank you for your consideration.
