tutoring

Since I started a class halfway through the semester, my availability changed a lot. I used to be able to go in and to sports and recreation on Mondays from 4:30 – 6: o’clock, but since the class had started I’ve been going in on Fridays from 3:00-4:00 o’clock. So I know I tutor a young third grader named Brian. The subjects we usually work on are science, math, English and a scholastic reader. It is interesting to go back and see the things I used to learn as a child. The math especially because I’ve never been good at math and sometimes I have to stop and think about the problem for a second just to make sure I’m helping him the correct way. Usually its pretty standard math like addition, subtraction, multiplication or division so most of the time it is pretty easy to help him out. Science was another subject I was not great at, but was not awful. Most of the time we have to read a few pages and then answer questions about what we had just read. That’s also the same about the scholastic reader. We’ve had to read about volcanoes,tornadoes, and meteors then answer questions about the readings on the back of the magazine. Even though he wants to play more than work, we still get his homework done, and it’s a rewarding experience helping him learn.
