Reflection On Entrepreneurship

The course objective for the class Service Learning in English is to increase one’s knowledge about language arts tutoring through readings, discussion, and experience working with teachers and a specific student struggling with academics as well as his/her work ethic. I was assigned to tutor Aaron Ring, a freshman at Christel House Academy South, a nationally acclaimed award winning school. The school has a healthy and safe welcoming environment that contains a diverse assortment of students and a 20:1 student-teacher ratio to allow teachers and students to build a close relationship. The different rooms of the school were neat and well maintained. The classrooms were very clean with different lightings, colorful decorations, couches for the

Cognitive learning is the first priority for tutor’s as they must understand the “key performance cues given by the teacher”, and understanding the task given. The affective/social learning is the second priority in being the tutor as you need to interact with other students and create a positive relationship. Lastly, the psychomotor learning is the third priority because as the tutor you do not really need much motor skills for learning about the activity as you should already have a sense in how it should be performed.

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

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

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

When it comes to being a high-performing student, it is my responsibility to lend a hand to others facing challenges of their own. One of the ways I have acted on this responsibility is by tutoring others, with one experience standing out. Towards the end of junior year, while excelling in Precalculus/Trigonometry Honors, it came to my attention that my neighbor and close friend Dave was in quite the predicament. Dave had recently failed his two previous tests in non-honors Trigonometry, and failing his final exam would end his Lake Central football career. Desperate not to lose his opportunity to play football, Dave approached me for help. We started by putting together a two-day study plan, and although this meant I would have less time to prepare

This course has taught me many things about myself and who I am as a tutor. When beginning this course, I was not sure what to expect from the overall class. I knew that I enjoyed helping others and I find myself to be a strong leader, so this course would be enjoyable for me. I expected myself to be a tutor who was helpful and friendly, and I hoped to be the best tutor I could be. Becoming the tutor I am today took time, and there is still lots of room for development. Before starting this course, I certainly did not have well developed skills that are needed to be a great tutor. I have grown as a student and as a tutor throughout this semester, and I have even applied my knowledge from this course into other classes. I love helping others,

Even though I have many reservations, and even fears about my ability as I tutor I realize that the only way to learn to be an effective tutor is to just begin tutoring. I know that at first many tutors are nervous and may initially not be as effective, however one can become an effective tutor by taking it session by session and working on anything that they find is problematic. That’s what I intend to do. Just relax, reflect and focus on what I find are my problem areas throughout my experience as a tutor in

For the past four years, I have taught, learned, and advertised as a tutor of Tutoring Society. The students who came were usually forced by their parents, and were afraid their peers would find out. This fear has inspired me to destigmatize tutoring. As president, I have formally presented Tutoring Society to the guidance department, and am working with high school guidance counselors to help students dismiss the notion that tutoring makes them lesser students or people. Teaching students who are more confident in their abilities has made all the difference- they are more open minded and positive, grasping difficult concepts faster. Pride swells within me each time they come back and thank me by showing me the test they aced. I am making

Tutors are an extension of the classroom teacher and the time and attention a tutor spends with each student increases the learner's ability to assimilate information more quickly, allowing them to be more successful and confident inside the classroom and out.

In my freshman seminar class we were supposed to do some sort of tutoring assignment where we are you go to any tutoring session then tell how we feel about it later. In my past experiences with tutoring sessions at Bethune Cookman University I didn't like it. My first time going to tutoring was for biology not because I needed to go but I thought it would be a good idea since we had one of our first big tests in the next few days in my bio class. It didn't really help me because the atp was helping another class and was hired by another teacher other than mine and that class was ahead learning things that my teacher either skipped over or decided wasn't that important to teacher and put on the exam. When I was in that session I didn't like

Tutoring is one the best teacher or guider in student life. Lots of students think that going to tutoring class is loss of time, actually this not true. We can’t solve every problem by our self it is

The beginning of the term was really slow. For the first few weeks I didn’t have any students to tutor. So, I utilized this down time to observe the ways in which some of the graduate students’ tutor while in the writing lab. I primarily viewed Celeste and Christie’s sessions and while watching them tutor, I observed how they handled different situations and I took notes to keep track of what I learned. Some of the most common questions I noticed were about sentence structure, grammar, and how to create a thesis. And Celeste and Christie went about answering students’ questions in a very calm and calculated way. Seeing how other tutors operate served to be a productive method of learning back during fall term and it provided insight during

I have never seen anybody come in without the desire to learn and grow. Tutoring can range from the rigidness of an outlined lesson plan or as informal as playing a word game. The most amazing part about this flexibility is the power to tailor sessions to a specific need. For example, if somebody is interested in traveling and needs clarification on the basic processes

In my opinion, the tutoring process includes teaching someone a concept they may not be able to understand on their own, and at the same time encouraging a new method of independent problem solving for the future. Initially, I would help the person I am tutoring by determining what areas of learning they need help in. For instance, understanding the question, determining how to solve the problem, or maybe just effective studying habits. Once the I understand the issue at hand, the person I am tutoring and I can work together to fill the gaps of knowledge. In the long run, I believe that the tutoring process should also encourage self confidence in areas of struggle and promote independent thinking for future tasks.
