College student with tutoring experience

Cleo S.

I am currently a first-year science major at Las Positas College, where I am building a strong academic foundation in science and mathematics. I have two years of experience tutoring elementary and middle school students in mathematics through Learn To Be, an online tutoring platform. This experience has helped me develop the skills needed to explain mathematical concepts clearly, support students with different learning needs, and help students build confidence in their academic abilities.

Throughout my tutoring experience, I have worked with students in an online, one-on-one learning environment, helping them understand mathematical concepts, work through problems step by step, and strengthen their foundational skills. My approach focuses on identifying areas where students are struggling, breaking down challenging concepts into manageable steps, and adapting my explanations to each student's learning style and pace. I aim to create a supportive environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and learning from their mistakes.

In addition to my tutoring experience, I have nine months of experience as a swim instructor, where I developed further skills in teaching, communication, patience, and adapting instruction to individual learners. I am also fluent in Spanish and earned scores of 5 and 4 on my AP Spanish examinations in high school. I am interested in tutoring elementary and middle school mathematics and would bring my existing teaching experience, subject knowledge, and commitment to helping students succeed to each tutoring session.
