Approved subjects
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
Public Speaking
As a communications major at Villanova, one of our big focuses was public speaking and social demeanor in both professional and academic arenas. Using the techniques and tips learned in our classes, we were able to really perfect our tactics when it comes to pubic presentation and persuasion. Besides the basic "public speaking" course, I was involved in a "performance of literature" class/ club, which focused on spoken word poetry and performative literature, as well as a business oriented course which entailed creating and presenting PowerPoint presentations every couple of weeks.
Additionally, I was involved in Toastmasters International, "...A nonprofit educational organization that operates clubs worldwide for the purpose of helping members improve their communication, public speaking, and leadership skills. Through its thousands of member clubs, Toastmasters International offers a program of communication and leadership projects designed to help people learn the arts of speaking, listening, and thinking..." (Wikipedia)
However, what I feel sets me apart as a tutor is my belief in connecting with and understanding the student first, and the root cause of WHY a student may be lacking in a certain area. Is public speaking a struggle because they lack confidence? Articulation? Pronunciation, or reading skills? If it is a confidence issue, what makes the student feel insecure? Is it a cognitive or emotional issue? Asking these questions helps me to more fully understand the student as a human being, and gives me a better platform to help them in the way that is unique to them! And I am confident once this happens, I can help them to be successful.
