Experience
Awards: Westmount Award for Academic Excellence Rutherford Scholarship UVic President's Scholarship University of Victoria Revue Award Gwladys and Gwen Downes Scholarship in Theatre UVic Undergraduate Research Scholarship I want to be a tutor for three reasons: 1) I love to work with young people and help them to better understand subjects that I am passionate about, and hopefully, increase their interest in these areas as well! 2) I believe this experience will help me in the professional world, as I plan to take a certification course to teach ESL overseas. 3) Finally, I believe that teaching is a wonderful way of learning from others. I am not doing any formal training in education (e.g. B.Ed.), nonetheless it is still something I want to be a part of, and I would love the opportunity to get experience as a teacher in any and every capacity I can. I am confident that as a tutor I can find that learning experience I am looking for. -In my twelfth grade, I tutored a friend of mine who was struggling with Social Studies, which dealt with 20th century history and economics.
