Sloan H.
Private tutor in La Mesa, CA
Education
I graduated from Dana Hills High School in 2010 with a final GPA of 4.33 and an SAT score of 2280 with subject test scores of: 790 on Literature, 800 on Math, and 760 on Biology. I received my B.S. from UCLA in 2014 majoring in Evolution, Behavior Ecology and minoring in Anthropology (GPA: 3.625). I just finished my Masters in Biology in Ulm, Germany with my thesis being on the evolution of chemical communication in Hymenoptera (GPA: 3.7). I am now doing my PhD in Math and Science Education at SDSU and UCSD and am doing research on how to more effectively train tutors to be more student-centered in their pedagogical approach.
Experience
While at UCLA, I began my own tutor business. I had 14 clients in the first year ranging from grade school to AP high school to university students. I was even the private tutor of Sylvester Stallone's three daughters. Through almost 15 years of tutoring experience, I have learned how to assess the learning processes of each student so that I can cater my teaching methods to their unique strengths. Whenever they are confused by the way the teacher or book presents a concept, I am there to explain it in easily understandable terms. I also teach them how to create time efficient and organized study plans. As a result, my student's confidence in their academic ability increases drastically, and their grades always follow. Parents chose me as their tutor because I can assist all their children with all of their classes. This makes their life easier because I am a "one stop shop" for all their tutoring needs. I can also give advice on college prep/application process and have helped seniors get into USC and Washington University. I have a resume available upon request with ample references. My priority is to make your student's lives as stress free as possible while succeeding in school. I understand students often have many extracurricular activities, so I always work with them around their schedule. I will try my hardest to make myself available even with short notice, and I will work late into the night or on the weekends until the student feels confident and relaxed about projects or upcoming tests. I also believe that I make a wonderful tutor because the students can relate to my age and station in life. They often look to me for advice with both academic and social issues because I have recently been through similar situations. Being such a role model allows me to love what I do!
