Peer Tutoring Report

The CAPSA tutoring program is an organization that aims to provide assistance for new immigrants and others in adapting to the American society of Montgomery County. Tutoring is a sheer part of this goal. As a Chinese immigrant myself, I have attended CAPSA as a tutee before. During the four years as a tutee, I have benefitted academically and socially. Growing up through CAPSA with my tutors and peers, it truly inspired me to give back to the community that had shaped me to who I am today. Two years ago, I applied to be a tutor with the passion in helping others just as my tutors had done for me. During these two years, I have tutored both newly immigrated eighth grade students, both of which were completely different in personality. The

Something I have learned during my short seventeen years of life is the importance of embracing the differences in talent and ability of those among us. The fact that not everyone will be adept at everything is incontestable, and therein lies a great opportunity to help one another. If only Michael Phelps could help me with swimming, or Mariah Carey could help me with singing. I believe that for me, the Writing Center could give me a chance to help out, even if it doesn’t help anyone earn Olympic Gold or Grammies. As a community, I have found that North Shore High School has been exemplary at providing services for those who need a helping hand. Peer Leaders, National Honor Society Tutoring, and of course the Writing Center, are just a few

I would like to participate in the Immokalee Readers program to help young children reach their highest academic potential. It will help me to develop many college and career readiness skills. Being a tutor will help me to further my communication and collaboration skills; Communicating with the kids will help me to help them to meet their goals in school. The Immokalee Readers program will open up opportunities for me to start focusing on my pathway to success. I will be able to help a child develop basic study habits and homework strategies that he or she can use in higher education. By using a student’s strength to approach a strategy for their difficulties, it will help the student to feel less stressed about the subject. As a tutor I

As Tutoring Vice President of NHS, I will organize all the tutoring dates by personally distributing a weeklong schedule to each and every NHS member asking him or her to fill in the dates that they are available for tutoring. From there, I plan on incorporating the members’ availabilities into a Google Doc that will be shared with all NHS officers for easy access if need be. I understand that there will be some overlap with availabilities and I will ensure that there will be tutors every single day at lunch and that everyone is required a certain minimum of tutoring hours. As someone who is naturally methodical and thorough with her work, I will see to it that there will always be an even number of tutors throughout the week, without the

I was advised that there is a great need for the position of PEER Instructional Assistant.I am DREAMer This means I recently got the privileged to work. At this moment I'm A sophomore at Phoenix College; with a major in nursing.

There is one thing that was happened in this morning, so that makes me think if we can make no-show lists for subject tutors. In this morning, I got a phone call from a student, who wants to make an appointment with a math tutor-Tori from 9a.m. to 10a.m. and I put this appointment in the TutorTrac. When Tori came, I told her that someone made an appointment with her this morning at 9a.m.. And she told me that one girl made an appointment with her in person, so it didn't have her information in the TutorTrac. So Tori chose to wait for the student. However, the student showed up late till 9:30a.m. and the girl who did not make an appointment in the TutoraTrac had to choose someone else to help her out.

Being a part of my school’s peer tutoring program has been the most gratifying experience of my high school career. As a student, I can relate to those that struggle in a subject and are unable to connect with the material being taught in class. I have worked with students who have lost confidence in themselves because of the difficulty they were having in school. To be given the opportunity to assist students to reach their academic goals is fulfilling. As a peer tutor, I edit essays, share scholarship searches, assist with homework, and provide studying tips and test taking strategies. I enjoy working with my group to develop habits to be more successful.With each higher grade earned, test anxiety relieved, and confident smile of those that I help, I know that the work I am doing is

As a student at Portland Community College, I have found PCC to be a diverse and inclusive place for educators and students alike. This is achieved by fostering an accepting environment by the PCC staff who make this possible. If you see an opening position for a writing tutor, someone who would promote equity and efficiently assist students with their writing, please consider me for the opening position.

I am Meharu and Junior in College majoring in Business Administration, MIS. I have been tutoring Math since I was in High School. I enjoyed tutoring students in High School preparing for ACT and SAT Test and College Students with Algebra, Precalculus and Statistics problem. I started Tutoring in College during my second semester of freshman year.

I had the opportunity to observe in a collaborative classroom during field observations for my EDUC 1301 class two years ago. In that school teachers usually worked collaborate to do lesson planning and instruction. For example, in the second grade that observed in, one teacher taught science and math and the other teacher taught language arts and social studies. I feel that collaborating with others can help teachers come up with more creative lessons for student and new strategies to teach the material. Also, dividing up the work, allows teachers to focus more on the subjects they are teaching and actually have more time to plan the lesson. On the other hand, I personally will dislike being in a collaboratively taught class if my partner

What was my reaction to the peer assessments? More than anything I was pleasantly surprised. I got a better rating and assessment than I thought I would.

Wow this first day was a little harder than I thought. This students are really challenging me in ways I wouldn't have thought before. When I first walked into the classroom I had an idea of what the classroom was going to look like and I was a little off. All of the students have abstract relationships joined with each other. I really want to succeed with this class and after all have them learn something. I need to take the students interested in what they are learning and somehow connect it to their lives.

Demonstrated ability to support success for all students, with a strong emphasis on promoting student responsibility, engagement and wellbeing.

The campus resource I decided to participate in, is a Chemistry 1020 Peer Assisted Study Session (PASS). These sessions are created for courses that students struggle in such as Chemistry, Anatomy, Biology, and Finance. PASS sessions are a great way to stay on top of your courses throughout the semester. It provides students with the chance to ask questions from the lecture as well as get extra practice with difficult concepts. The most recent PASS session that I attended gave me the opportunity to test my knowledge on Thermochemistry, Equilibrium, Phase Changes and Kinetics in the form of a mock midterm. Our PASS leader created the mock midterm not only to test our knowledge on chemistry but to also teach us about time management on an exam.
