My First Tutoring Experience

While tutoring at Emporia High School, I got to experience what it was like to be in a classroom. During this opportunity, I found out that there are many challenges for teachers. The most challenging aspect was that sometimes students just do not want to listen to you. They do

Over the course of this class I learned that tutoring can be defined as many different concepts; from being a helpful guide to giving students a step by step tutorial on what they need to do to complete the assignment properly. Some try the hands-off approach where they let the student take control of the tutoring session only helping when it is necessary, but otherwise just watching over the student. This got me thinking about how I would be as a tutor and the approach that I would take when guiding students with their assignments. Keeping all of this in mind, my tutoring philosophy would have a combination of being a hands-on tutor, but not doing all the work for the student. By this, I mean that I will guide them step by step with whatever

In L. Lennie Irvin’s “What Is ‘Academic’ Writing?” Irvin presents the reader’s with the necessary skills to probably compose a colligate level paper. Doing this, Irvin exposes common myths of writing. These myths include that writing is simply a trait that cannot be improved. He explains by stating if one wishes to improve their writing skills they must think about the way they present an idea rather than fretting about the grammar. Irvin also clarifies terms such as analyze and argument. While these are just some of the major points, Irvin thoroughly explains to students new to college how to compose a collegiate level essay.

I would like to think that I had some significant growth as a writer in my first semester as a college student. My rhetorical analysis essay, persuasive essay, and reflective analysis essay were all very different from each other in how I approached them and felt about them, but each one helped me grow as a writer in different ways. The rhetorical analysis was my first college essay so I felt some extreme self-imposed pressure to do well on it. I really enjoy writing persuasive essays because it causes you to form your own opinions and support them with evidence. My least favorite essay would most likely have to be the reflective analysis essay. I absolutely despise sharing my thoughts and emotions with people, let alone writing them. Beginning the essay was extremely difficult for me. However, I did found it to be the easiest essay to write once I had all my ideas gathered together. The point is, these three essays all had their pros and cons to them, but nonetheless, they each helped me grow as a writer in their own way, which helped me reach many of the stated outcomes for this class. This paper examines some of my work in these essays and describes how I was able to reach some of the course objectives.

My Writing Skills have improved Over the Last Semester While attending writing class, I learned about the 4 steps in writing, bases for revising, organizing, and connecting specific information, and I also learned about the different types of essays such as descriptive, narrative, process, cause and effect and argumentative essay. I have been a student at Milwaukee Area Technical College for 1 semester, and over the course of my enrollment I have grown and learned more that I knew prior to attending this writing course. Participating in this writing class has taught me so much more than stuff about literature and language, it has taught me another way of expressing myself. I have learned here how to write and express myself, how to think for myself, and how to find the answers to the things that I don 't know. Most importantly I have learned how important technique, outlines and organization are. My goal in this paper is to inform writers about how my writing skills have improved.

This interaction between the community and the college sets the student on a path of success, such as writing essays. In consideration, the college knows that most of the students does not know or have a standard level of writing skills when coming for the first time. With this information, and with the help of the college and the community, the students will have a higher probability of succeeding in their writing

Throughout the seven weeks that I have taken this writing composition course, I have developed skills to help me improve my own writing. Using the writing process is one of the main focuses in the course. The writing process helps writers develop and revise their essay as they work their way up to creating the final draft that can be presented. Although there are many areas in my own writing where I can get better, I have found that my writing has improved in many ways while practicing using the writing process.

Response: I remember struggling when it came to knowing anything about college and the whole process. So during summer, I join a college prep camp, it was a week-long camp. I learned a lot more about college and how easy it was to apply. They taught me about financial aid and about scholarships. How to spend your money wisely. Another educational challenge I faced was the SAT, I knew I needed help with that test. I knew nothing about it, I didn't know any strategies to help me. So I went to a month-long tutoring session, for three days out of the week. During the tutoring session, the tutors were showing us stuff like eliminating the wrong answers to get the right answers. At first, I kept scoring 500s on practice tests but when I took the

Writing skill is a very important part of communication. Writing is the process to express emotions and ideas, allowing us to put them on paper. Throughout this class I have learned more than I ever thought I would. I have learned different writing techniques, such as, using vivid detail, MLA format, and how to use sources from books or websites. I was able to accomplish these skills from class exercises and writing the four assigned essays. I believe my writing skills have changed throughout this semester because I can recognize what has impacted my writing skills, along with my strengths and weaknesses.

Throughout High School I attended tutoring but not as often as I’d like to, especially when I was involved with Cross Country also Track and Field. My coach was stubborn and knew I was capable enough to keep my grades up so I can still run so he would often refrain me from attending tutoring or anything that involved interfering with the sports. I was put in a rough spot I cared about school but running helped me mentally and feel at ease. Which is why I decided to quit my senior year it was a hard choice and was a big part of my life but I knew it was time to do this. Currently I am attending tutoring as often as necessary to try to keep up and try to reach my full potential academic wise

“Carson...Carson…did you hear me?” Getting the attention of a young teen while tutoring math can be a real challenging experience. During the summer months, I would go over to my cousin’s house once or twice a week, every week, to tutor him in math. Fighting through the sweat from the blazing heat outside and attempting to be cooled down by the small fan that sat beside us, we would go through an online math course, pencils in hand, and I would teach him a different lesson each session. He went from just sitting there staring at the screen with a blank piece of paper in front of him and not knowing what to do to improving greatly on his math skills and understanding the concepts fast. By the end of the session, his paper was filled with the many math calculations he had to attempt.

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
