Throughout my academic career, tutoring and mentoring were an important part of my intellectual growth and development. Sharing knowledge is not only the best way to convey deep and thorough understanding of a subject, but also incredibly rewarding. When working with a student, I seek to engage with him or her in order to utilize existing strengths to bolster areas for development and provide a unique, individualized learning plan that will ensure success. The satisfaction of watching a tutee gain mastery of a subject that was once a cause of confusion and frustration is unparalleled. Being able to guide someone in this journey is a true privilege.

坐下来,先了解彼此!然后,after breaking the ice, discuss in regards to what subjects and topics to study. Finally, organize and create a study schedule in regards to hitting the certain topics.

Practice truly makes one perfect. In my experience, completing homework and study questions are a necessity. Also, completing extra questions and creating study questions will help ensure that one practices at their fullest level, so they can be fully independent.

Organization and creativity are tools for a student to stay motivated. I believe in sticking with a consistent schedule is necessary for a study to remain motivated. If a student gets bored, I believe in also creating creative games and exercises to ensure that one understands the concepts, in a fun way.

Having patience and understanding are the first steps in helping a student with their difficulties. Then, making sure with take extra time to rehearse and reinforce that particular skill or concept would be the proper way to do it.

Reading with the student and taking a break during a reading exercise is very important to helping students whom are struggling with reading comprehension. When taking breaks, discussing and asking questions about what is occurring helps to reinforce and guide the student in comprehending the material.

Understanding the student's needs, comprehending their strengths and weaknesses, and organizing a consistent schedule are the strategies when I start to work with a student.

Positive reinforcement! This means that we can have fun games or activities in regards to rehearsing a concept. Also, rewarding one for doing great is also a necessity!

Homework assignments and practice materials are the best ways that the student completely understands the material. Also, allowing a student to feel comfortable to ask questions is very important. Finally, giving practice tests and exams really gives a clear understanding if the student truly understands the material.

Practice, practice, practice! I cannot say that enough! Practicing is truly the vehicle for a student to build up confidence in any subject. This means homework, practice exams, fun activities, watching videos, or even taking educational trips! The foundation for all of these variables are to continue to reinforce and practice so that a student truly becomes an expert in a subject.

I evaluate a student's needs by reviewing their grades on homework assignments, quizzes, and tests. Also, having a transparent discussion with a student on what their needs are. Finally, also speaking to a parent also helps to give another perspective on evaluating a student's needs.

Understanding a student's likes, dislikes, method of learning are all very important to adapting to a student's needs. A student may be more motivated by strictly practicing problems in the book, versus a student being more motivated through games. It all depends on what they feel works best for them to succeed to the fullest.

The type of materials that I typically use during a tutoring session are notebooks, scrap paper, pencils, and dry/erase board or virtual practice board. I also include fun materials like food, music, games, etc., as well.
