Personal Description:

I'm in my last year of a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Manitoba and am enrolling in the faculty of education for next year. My long term career goals are to become a high school teacher, and I think tutoring is an excellent way to develop the skills I will use for that career.

Tutoring Experience:

I have volunteered as a tutor for 3 years now, and recently completed a tutor training session offered through the University of Manitoba.

Tutoring Approach:

I think the most important part of being a tutor is building students confidence in themselves and in their abilities, and to help them develop new skills so they can go on to achieve success independently of my help. Tutoring requires patience, flexibility, and a willingness to listen to and work with the student to find the method of instruction that works best for them.
