My First Semester Tutoring At The Reading And Writing Center

The twenty-five stories that are contained in the book, My First Year As A Teacher, are about real teachers and their experiences during the first year of teaching. Each story is different. Some are about memorable students while other stories are about some of the hardships that are encountered as a novice teacher. The diverse sampling of stories in this book gives insight of what kind of problems one might encounter as a teacher, yet they also describe how rewarding the profession can be. I found it rather difficult to choose only ten stories as my favorite but after much consideration and rereading I decided on the following stories because in many ways I could relate to the students as well as the teachers that are given life in these stories.

Another example of me being communicating well is once I found my friend Maniac is a buffalo pen at the zoo late at night in the west side of town. I had to convince him to come home. This is what I told him “ you do not have a choice. I am not asking you. I’m telling you. You are coming home with me, and you are going to sleep in my room, which is going to be your room- and I don’t care if you sleep on the floor or the windowsill or what-but you are going to sleep there and not here.” As you can see I am talking to Maniac about the fact that he will come with me and that he will not sleep in the buffalo pen. I spoke clearly stated my claim and told him what needed to be done. His shows that if I need something to get done I will communicate with the person. Finally I think I’m communicative because in my life I have probably gone through many stages. One of these stages was taking baths with my brothers. When I finally grew out of it I had to tell them, communicate with them. This is what happened “ Then came a day when Amanda entered fourth grade, and she decided she was getting too old to tub it with her little brother and sister.” This shows that Amanda decided to communicate with her

Communication for me of the verbal kind has never been a challenge, I love meeting new people, and I love talking with new people, I am a people person to say the least. My personality under pressure supersedes any negativity that is happening around me, I don’t believe that negative things should overcome the positive, and I see every situation in life as one with positivity. I am an excellent verbal communicator, especially in the work place. I must be, because I am a particular person when it comes to most things in life, not to say I am stubborn, unwilling or unable

Throughout the A+ Tutoring Program I have acquired numerous skills that have made me a better person. I am going to be honest, I have never really cared for children and I would consider myself a selfish person when it comes to other people's feelings. The Program has changed my outlook on things and I have learned to be sincere and patient when it comes to ALL of my second graders. In my opinion I have learned a skill from each kid in my class. They have taught me to always be alert because anything can happen in that room in a matter of seconds. To handle a situation I have obtained the skill of always remaining calm when something drastic happens. The only way to conquer a situation is by attacking it head on and solving the issue quickly

So, when I was at my tutoring job the other day, one of the teachers came up to me offering me a really great job opportunity in following her to a private school to become the teachers assistant. Due to the fact, I need healthcare benefits since I will soon be off my parents, I cannot let this opportunity go. Thus, I feel it is a time to accept a new challenge and is a great shot to pursue my career goals. Indeed, working at your home with your children was an educational experience and the affiliation I have made with your children will be memorable for years to come. That being the case, this is my two week notice, but during the next two weeks I am willing to help you in any way to make the transition as smooth as possible. As a result,

Eventually, after over a week of training, I began to tutor students. While the first student I tutored seemed quiet and nervous initially, I told the student I once related to their struggles of being confused and not knowing where to begin. When the student began to see me as simply another student and not someone who thought they knew it all, the student began to enjoy tutoring sessions with me and look forward to

Tutoring taught me a lot about how to teach in the most effective way for that particular students, how to gauge when to listen to the ideas of others and when to provide my own, and how to make ideas more understandable and relatable. All of these skills are essential to being a mentor and would aid in creating the ELI experience for the future

Throughout eighth grade, I have learned more than just math and science. I’ve learned a lot of different skills, but the most important one that I have learned is to talk more. Though I haven’t really changed a drastic amount, I do feel like I have learned how to talk to others. At the start of this school year, I didn’t talk at all in class, I only communicated with my friends, and I thought of my teachers only as someone who would teach me. Though I didn’t like to admit it, I knew that I was a very reserved person which I have wanted to change for a long time.

By working at the Hospital where many of the patients differed from me as well as my coworkers I gained the ability to work in a diverse environment. While working at Defense Corporation, I became proficient in software programs. There are several more vital strengths that I possess to ensure success as a tutor. I am a diligent freshman student at the University

I love teaching, and there will always be those who need extra help. Last year, when I accepted the task of tutoring one of my peers in Algebra II, I was excited to start, despite the looming challenges. The version of the course I took was different from the version that my classmate was taking, and so I needed to figure out her teacher’s methods and then immediately turn around and explain them to her. There was a period of trial and error, but within a few weeks, we had a system that worked smoothly. The satisfaction of watching her go into a test confident, and come back happy with her grade was well worth the many hurdles.

Growing up I was the little girl that would hide behind her mom’s leg when people tried talking to me. In other words, I was extremely shy and never liked talking to strangers. Breaking out of my shell as I grew older is an understatement. Today, I will have conversations with people I do not know, but I will not be the one to start them. Once I meet someone and start to get to know them, that’s when the real me comes out. Like most people, depending on the topic I can be silent, loud, gloomy, or livid. As a communicator, I believe that once I have talked to the person once or twice I am great at having conversations. Others might agree or disagree. When it comes to my best friends or family members they all would say I never stop talking,

Growing up a quiet girl in a family of outspoken children and adults left me tasked with finding a place for myself. When I was younger, when asked a question, most of the time I would be too shy to answer. On the rare occasions where I'd build up the courage to speak, I could never get my response out before my mother or some other relative would answer for me. If someone asked me "How are you doing?," there'd be a long pause of silence before, finally, someone else would pipe in and respond "Sorry, she's just shy, and she's doing fine." Countless recurrences of this scene eventually led me to realize that within in my family, I would always be spoken over and that if I wanted my voice to be heard, I would have to find another medium to express myself.

English is not my primary language so whenever I get nervous, I tend to stumble on my words making it hard to communicate what I want to say and be unclear about it. This sometimes makes me lose my confidence in talking to people I don't know. However, talking to my coworkers and friends has significantly help me improve on my public speaking and communication

Notoriously, I am never been one to shy away from communication. It does not matter whether it is an unfamiliar face or a longtime acquaintance. In any given situation, I am always eager to share my ideas, my opinions, my views, and jokes with everyone around me. Occasionally my eagerness hits me way too hard and I find my words jumbled and making little sense, but I just take a deep breath and try again. My friends always describe me as animated when I talk, especially considering that I love to talk with my hands. Whenever I communicate, my body moves along with the words I say and it is nearly impossible for me to be still. Other than the interactions I have daily with others, I have little professional public speaking experience. Many of
