Dear potential students,
I'm Sydney, and I'm excited to share my passion for tutoring with you! Over the past two years, I've had the privilege of being employed and formally trained by the Learning Support Services program at UC Santa Cruz. As I approach graduation this June for Applied Mathematics B.S. and a Mathematics minor, I bring with me a wealth of experience and expertise in tutoring, supported by my Level 1 Certification from the College Reading and Learning Association (CRLA) for the International Tutor Training Program Certification (ITTPC). My journey in tutoring has been guided by a commitment to fostering a growth mindset among my students. Through specialized training, I've honed my skills in empowering learners to adopt effective learning strategies, enabling them to grasp complex concepts with confidence.
When it comes to tutoring sessions, I prioritize depth over breadth. By focusing on no more than two topics per hour, I ensure that students receive the personalized attention and support they need to master key concepts. My approach involves a comprehensive review of problem-solving techniques, followed by ample practice opportunities tailored to the student's level of proficiency. Throughout the session, I actively solicit feedback to ensure that the learning experience is tailored to the student's unique needs and preferences.
While my expertise lies primarily in college-level mathematics, including calculus, linear algebra, discrete math, and more, I pride myself on my ability to adapt my tutoring style to meet the needs of students at various proficiency levels. Whether you're struggling with the basics or aiming to tackle advanced topics, I'm here to provide accessible and equitable support every step of the way. My commitment to equitable teaching means that I strive to create a supportive learning environment where all students feel empowered to succeed.
I look forward to the opportunity to work with you and help you achieve your academic goals!
Warm regards,
Sydney
