College Counseling and English (K-8) tutor

About Caitlin

Throughout high school and my undergraduate college career, I have relied on engaging, intelligent, and sympathetic tutors to make sure I was in the right direction in regards to my studies and academic objectives. Working as a tutor is my way of giving back knowledge and experience to those who need it in my immediate community.

At San Jose State University (SJSU), I was a Writing Consultant for the Communication Studies Center and assisted students of various majors in content development, organization, public speaking, rhetoric, and conducting library database research. Additionally, I was a writing tutor and teacher's assistant for SJSU's Philosophy Department. I have previously assisted students enrolled in Introduction to Philosophy, Ancient Philosophy, Introduction to Aesthetics, and Business Ethics courses.

After graduating SJSU, I briefly attended Evergreen Valley College (EVC) to take supplemental law school courses in preparation for my enrollment at Willamette University College of Law. While I was at EVC, I gained extensive experience with tutoring adult students taking English as a Second Language courses. I also assisted students needing help with beginning and intermediate English Composition and Argumentation Courses. Due to COVID-19 affecting the school semester, I learned to adapt to online tutoring.

HeyTutor has been a phenomenal resource that has been both professionally and personally enriching. I now have experience with tutoring at the elementary school-level in a private home setting and look forward to broadening my tutoring experiences.

As a tutor, my goal is to fully respect the student and encourage them to reach their full potential. I will actively listen and adapt to the student's learning styles. Whether it be tutoring with the traditional Socratic Method or using some sort of creative outlet, my objective is a student to gain conceptual understanding and raise their course confidence.
