Ebin
Certified Tutor
I began my tutoring career around three years ago. I had a modest start at a local Kumon assisting kindergarteners to middle schoolers with Kumon specific math and reading assignments. Due to the nature of the job, I was pulled in every direction because of a new responsibility or urgent task. The job was more administrative and the students didn't receive much individual attention.
Eventually, I made a few connections and started tutoring privately. This was a whole new ball game in that I have never before interacted with someone for two hour stretches in an academic setting. In addition, my pupil was in high school which elevates the challenge and required a more nuanced approach to deal with the complexities that often accompanies adolescence. To my surprise, I loved it. Not only was this an opportunity to review all the material I had previously learned, tutoring allows me to elucidate the concepts in a manner tailored specific to the student which also improves my understanding of the topic and my method of communicating it. I worked closely with both the parent and the child to address their concerns to meet, and often, exceed their expectations.
However, I had to take a hiatus from tutoring to focus on school. During the previous semester, my roommate had introduced me to Varsity Tutors. I was curious but I had to wait until a point in my life where I could handle the commitment. Starting this new year, I will be working in Fermi National Laboratory in a Co-op position and this provides me the perfect opportunity to revitalize my tutoring career/hobby.
I have always been adamant on self-improvement and this is an avenue where I enjoy working and constantly improving. I see tutoring as an opportunity to engage avid knowledge seekers and motivated scholars and for me to learn as much from them as they do from me.
