Finding a Job as a Private Tutor
After my graduation from high school, I had to looking for some part-time jobs because I needed pocket money, but my parents want me to earn my pocket money by myself. Many university students give private lessons for making pocket money, so I tried to find some of it. But it's hard to do by myself for the first time, so I planned to practice two specific strategies for finding jobs.
One strategy was used to looking for a tutoring job. I tried to make some project for finding students who want to take private lessons and put them into practice step by step. First, I chose the subject, math that I can teach confidently. After choosing the subjects, I made fliers including my personal information for a tutoring job. I wrote down my cell phone number, majors, the name of the university, and all grades related to the subjects I would teach and my work experiences as a tutor. I had to be careful at this step because I should prove a special ability of mine that makes me different from other people who also find students taking private lessons. And then, I went to a stationary store and a book store located near my home and asked a clerk that if I put the fliers up on the walls. I waited for someone to call me. And finally, I got a phone call from a mother who was looking for a tutor for her daughter. I was so glad to take that job and talked with her to decide a pay, proper time and place to visit.
The other one was forming good relationship with the student that I have taught. When I met my student for the first time whose name was Bo-Yung and attended to high school, I tried to show my kindness and willingness to be friendly to her. Because I already knew from my own experience that teens are very sensitive, so I tried to understand them and teach them patiently. And I just did my best to teach her by giving her proper homework, checking it weekly, and talking about her grades with her parents regularly as well. I found that it is also important to give advice not only in the study field, but also the sources of troubles that she had, even a small thing to a university students as I am. By sympathizing with her and giving sincere advises, she could open her mind to her and tried to study hard more than she ever had been. After 3 month later since I have studied with her, she grades improved and I could get extra money for that.
By doing these two strategies, I could find my tutoring job to earn my pocket money, form good relationship with my student and be confident myself for achieving my goal as a tutor, improving Bo-Yung's grades. Therefore, it's my experience for being successful and it could be possible based on two reasons.

ReplyDelete1. In your writing, I like that you finnally found the parttime job, happy ending!!
2. Your main point seems to be two strategies to find a parttime job.
3. I personally like "Because I already knew from my own experience that teens are very sensitive, so I tried to understand them and teach them patiently." I've experienced too and i couldn't agree more!
4. In general, some gramatically features like tense, correspondanse that are quite bothering.
5. It would have been great if you stated what "two specific strategies" are in your thesis statement. Also, seems like you need to find a clear connection between just steps(or procedures) and cause & effect relationship.

ReplyDelete1. What I like about this piece of writing is that i have same experience
2. Your main point seems to be the way to find parttime job
3.These particular words or lines struck me as powerful: I found that it is also important to give advice not only in the study field, but also the sources of troubles that she had, even a small thing to a university students as I am. because I totally agree that
4. Some things aren’t clear to me. These lines or parts could be improved: there's no sentences that aren't clear to me
5.The one change you could make that would make the biggest improvement in this piece of writing is that your writing is well written about your experience, but it need more detail connection between cause and effect.
