Jacob C.
Private tutor in Mesa, AZ
Education

Experience
2 Years of education experience 1.5 years tutoring in internships .5 year teaching full time in mentorship Coursework at ASU includes: advanced biology and chemistry courses, basic physics, math and english courses Throughout my public and college education, I have always enjoyed tutoring my friends and classmates. This made me choose to pursue a career in education through ASU, where I had 2 years of internships and student teaching in public schools. My first 1.5 years were part time internships which largely consisted of tutoring students, and I loved it. The last semester was a full time teaching position, and because I was responsible for the day to day instruction, assessment, and management of the classroom I was not able to spend nearly as much time tutoring students in a 1:1 fashion. I would love to have the opportunity to apply my expertise in STEM sciences and pedagogy to be able to inspire and motivate students on an individual level via tutoring. I have experience, I am knowledgeable on many STEM subjects, and I am excited to help students succeed. I would be available to tutor year round, and up to full time. I can be flexible as to when I will tutor, as well as how far I will travel to meet the demands of your clients.

Hobbies
I love being outside, experiencing nature and noticing and appreciating the living world around us! I also love music, and despite not being very good I love playing guitar and am learning to play the piano. I have certification as a high school teacher, however through my education I learned that I hugely prefer tutoring to teaching. Being able to work individually with students, focusing on their needs, celebrating their accomplishments and getting to know them as a person is so much more enjoyable to me than talking to a classroom of half-asleep students.
