Personal Statement
I am a highly ambitious and self-motivated individual who always strives to achieve the best in everything I do. I have demonstrated through my work as a tutor that I am an extremely dedicated, responsible and mature individual. I have been praised by the students’ parents as well as the students themselves for my ability to help students understand difficult concepts and my caring and approachable attitude. I really enjoy working with people and I am looking to broaden my horizons through a summer job in retail.
