For my first tutoring assignment, I assisted at the WST BOOT CAMP at CSUEB. The workshop has two main different sessions, A and B, which occur at three different times. Students can choose the time in which they can attend one of each of the main sessions. In the two A sessions and one B session that I assisted in, there were about sixty to seventy students signed in. The teacher had more than one teacher assistants helping her with anything she or her students needed.
In A sessions, the teacher explored with the students how to write an effective essay with an example; they practiced in groups brainstorming for an essay and then revised it together with the teacher. In B sessions, the students write a practice essay and get help in writing it by the teacher and her teacher assistants if they needed it. After they finish they submit it and after a while they get feedback about their writing.
The workshop was put together to help students with their writing skills to take a test that require them to write an analytic essay and pass it with clear competence to satisfy the university writing skills requirement. The students signed into this workshop

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
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.
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.
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
When I completed high school, I started a tutoring class in which my friend joined me. There are many children from poor background in the slum near where I live who could not afford holiday tutoring offered in other places. As we were just out of high school our memories and knowledge was still fresh. We initially had a class of just five students but the number grew to over twenty in one and a half weeks. We teach them Math, Physics, Biology and Chemistry. I take Physics and Chemistry. This was a success and it gave me inspiration and motivation. I felt happy knowing I was changing someone’s life directly by helping them improve their grades. It inspired me and made me want to help as much people as I could. It also helped me in gaining confidence
And to think I could not write an academic essay or a summary before I attended this class. I have gained essential writing skills this semester. I’m familiar with writing process, my current writing assignments possess a proper academic structure and are correctly organized. I feel confident producing thesis statement, supporting points and developing paragraphs. What I need to improve is the vocabulary – again, like I mentioned before I’ll keep strengthening and broadening it by reading and writing after this course.
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,
