Tuition/Teaching Experience
Tutored secondary school and A-Level students on a pro bono basis in Mathematics, Physics and Spanish. As a current undergraduate, I can relate to a student's thought process better than a teacher.

I prefer one-to-one tutoring which provides better focus on the needs of the student. I am currently working full-time, available weeknights and weekends.
Rapport Building
I think its important to know a child's long-term and short-term goals and how these relate to those of their parents. I find it easier to communicate if I know where my subject wants to go, or where his/her parents want them to go, so I can help them get there. In this day and age getting good grades just doesn't cut it anymore, because learning, even in the early stages, should be about building a better understanding of the world and how it works.
Keeping Up with Curriculum
I am part of a community of part-time tutors here on campus, so I have people I can get in touch with over issues regarding curricula. I am an avid reader so I have no trouble catching up with any updates or even entirely new curricula.
As a Good Tutor
Good listeners; inspiring; aware of the applications of what they're teaching outside the four walls of the classroom.
