8 Communicate Your Tutoring Accomplishments
In your tutoring portfolio, you will include artefacts and reflective pieces that demonstrate your strengths and successes as a tutor. You will also want to communicate about your accomplishments in your resume, C.V., and LinkedIn profile. For these tasks, you will write statements of accomplishment that reflect your work.
An accomplishment statement uses this formula:
| Power Word + Description of what you did +
What was the value created / OR/ How did you do it |
List specific experiences and achievements that demonstrate your competence.
For example:
- Facilitated structured group study sessions resulting in student course GPAs rising above the class average
- Participated in annual mandatory training sessions and voluntary training workshops offered by the Learning Centre
- Assisted in training new tutors, including review of documentation procedures and confidentiality policy
- Tutored theory of ____, including concepts of ____, ____ and ____
- Communicated key concepts in written form by developing student Learning Aids for publication online
- Worked effectively with students with diverse learning needs and cultural backgrounds
- Mentored groups of incoming first year university students at transition programs
- Presented key mathematics concepts in first-year Accounting classes
