I'm currently a full-scholarship law student at UNLV and I did my undergrad (International Politics and Sociology, BSc) in London, UK. The subjects available for tutoring are elementary math, pre-algebra, algebra 1 and 2, geometry, American history, government and politics. I've tutored for a handful of years both paid and as a volunteer.

While in the UK, I worked with the UK government to tutor directly during and after school hours. I primarily developed lesson plans tailored to the national standard they would be tested on that year. The majority (about 80%) of the kids I tutored were underperforming and below standards and by the end of the year, they passed. The other 20% were advanced and needed more stimulation from what they were getting in class or they were at the standard line and just needed more practice to feel more confident. I tutored in one-on-one settings and I tutored in small group settings. For the most part, I worked in tandem with the teacher and the lessons I developed tied in and supplemented the daily lessons the student was receiving in class. Sometimes the lesson was something I had to completely structure myself or I had a supplement book to help pick activities from to use in the session. Other times, I was working with the past tests or practice tests for students that were preparing for national standardized tests. I tutored for an hour in one session all the way up until several hours for a session. I tutored kids aged 8 up until 18. I tutored kids with special needs such as cerebral palsy and autism. I also tutored in high school as a volunteer, working with the elementary kids to work with them through homework.

I'm a visual learner and so my tutoring tends to work this in. I tend to like to have all the steps shown on whiteboards. I tend to like the student to try the problem and show me how they're thinking or I get them to walk me through how they're thinking by asking questions. I do this so that I can steer them to catch their own errors in a problem and they can lear
