Application for the Position of a Tutor
APPLICATION ESSAY 2
Describe your background experience with community service or service learning. If
you have experience in Chicago, please specify. Do you have any prior tutoring or
experience working with children or young adults? Please explain.
Among my career choices, there is nothing I ever have liked more than being a tutor. I
love working with children, but more especially, giving back to the community in a robust
way. As such, community service is my passion, and I endeavor to develop my skills further
to enhance my service delivery to the children. Currently, I teach children the Chinese
language at the Hyde Park Chinese school of the University of Chicago, where I operate as a
part-time tutor. In addition, I also have some experience as a math teacher, as well as English
for middle school students in China.
What subject areas would you be most comfortable tutoring: elementary/high school
students (reading/math/science/technology/writing/etc.)? Explain.
As mentioned above, I am more comfortable tutoring high school students, and I can
work with a combination of math and science, but major in math. This is because I hold a
Master’s degree in Information Systems.
How will tutoring contribute to your learning and development at school and to your
future professional goals?
If I am given this chance to become a tutor, I will have personally achieved my career
objectives, and I will use the opportunity to further develop my skills, experience, and
expertise in my chosen subjects, as well as in the art of teaching. I plan to become a
university lecturer in future, and I think being a tutor will develop in me requisite skills
needed for such higher career levels.

What is your level of familiarity/experience with the CTA public transportation system
in Chicago? Are you comfortable using it to navigate the entire city?

is a revolutionary design for managing public transport. I hope my application for this
tutoring position is considered.
