BAKER COLLEGE ~ 1020 South Washington St. Owosso, MI 48867 ~ September 2009- May 2010 ~ (989)729-3463 Instructor • Taught English Review class for three ten week quarters covering basic skills required to write a three page paper and cite three sources using APA format. • Taught an eight hour prep course called College Success Strategies. The class focused on training students not only to be college bound, but to challenge them to think beyond College to the benefits they could apply in a professional work environment. I want to be a tutor because I have a lot of experience in helping students from various backgrounds understand their classes and get better grades. I have had the opportunity to watch students who struggle in my classes to get a C or lower, work with me one on one and start raise their grades to an A or B average. Along with their improved grade comes a new confidence to tackle difficult subjects because the student proved to him or herself that it doesn't have to be impossible for them.
