Hi everyone, my name is Mike.

0:02

I have about three years of formal teaching experience and about

0:07

full five years of direct tutoring experience.

0:11

So my tutoring experience includes an initial two years as a peer tutor

0:16

in college. As particularly writing skills,

0:20

I worked with students that also attended the same school as me and helped them

0:25

write better papers and develop more of an affinity and confidence in their

0:30

writing acumen and abilities. And from there,

0:34

I worked professionally as a tutor with several different companies,

0:38

one being tutor.com and another being tutor me.com.

0:42

Two of the more reputable companies for, uh, online tutoring on earth.

0:47

I would say the,

0:48

the latter Tutor me.com also maintains a 4% acceptance rate

0:53

for all of their tutors just to accentuate my expertise in particularly writing

0:57

skills. But I can also help with subjects like English history,

1:01

social sciences, humanities, English as a second,

1:06

and foreign language as well.

1:07

I do hold a teaching certification for English as a foreign language,

1:12

and I earn that through almost two years of working as an education volunteer

1:17

with the Peace Corps. In addition to that,

1:19

I worked for two non-profits in Ecuador, in India,

1:23

respectively for two and three months, respectively in those two countries.

1:27

Also teaching English as a foreign language before I went to the Peace Corps.

1:31

So that should comprehensively assess most of my

1:36

experience and, uh, my work history as a tutor.

1:39

But to give you a better understanding and sense of who I am as well,

1:43

I love tutoring and it, uh,

1:46

imbues me with a very palpable sense of satisfaction, gratification,

1:51

and empowerment to discern and ascertain that I'm able to get

1:56

through to my students and ensure that they feel confident that they can write

2:00

and command the English language in particular on their own and

2:05

as they progress through their academic careers and into their professional

2:09

ones. Thank you.
