Experience
I believe one thing that makes me stand out is that I micromanage my life in a way where I try not to waste my time doing things that might not be as productive as other activies. So what does that have to do with tutoring? I see tutoring as a way for me to invest one-on-one with a child to see and tend to each of their certain needs and characteristics and be able to work with the child so that they are able to learn effectively. I want to make each opportunity (such as tutoring) as a learning experience, not just for the purpose of learning, but learning to teach better so that my students will be able to learn in the most effective way possible. -Relevant Classes at UCI for specialization: Ed. 40Developmental Learning in Early Childhood; Ed. 106Intro to Early Childhood Educ.; Ed. 107Child Development in Educ.; Ed. 149Family, School, & Community in Early Childhood; Ed. 160Foundation of Out of School Learning; Ed. 124Multicultural Educ.; Ed. 138 Children Literature in Elem.
