Summary Of Rosemead's One City Tutoring Program

I am an AVID Tutor at my old high school Sierra Vista High School in Baldwin Park. This is going to be my second year working at SVHS and so far I love working at this school and helping the students. I work with sophomore, junior and, senior students. AVID is a college readiness program designed to help students develop the skills they need to be successful in college. It is also a program that motivates students to try to go to college. As an AVID tutor, I am responsible for helping the students by tutoring them in small groups in a specific subject matter (Math-History) by using homework/lesson discussion in groups. We use the Socratic questioning to get students to think critically about a problem they are struggling on and help them when they really cannot solve the question they have. I try to find resources (videos, notes, textbooks) to help the students get a better understanding of their question. Every Friday I grade

In high school, I was faced with a plethora of service opportunities and I quickly became involved in many of them. I currently serve as a Freshmen IMPACT Mentor and a Point Tutor. As an IMPACT Mentor, I help freshmen adjust to high school. This transition can be tedious and stressful for underclassmen, but having someone to guide them can be relieving. As a Point Tutor, I utilize my strengths in Math and Chemistry to

The volunteering tutors in the previous objective will ensure that in their tutoring sessions, Michael’s assignments and projects are done in their presence and are reviewed by them to ensure optimum work is done for the highest grade possible.

I will be tutoring as part of my community hours. I will be tutoring Vivica since she is having difficulties with her math class in school. Since she was having difficulties I decided to be her tutor and do my best to improve her skills and knowledge so her grade could increase. Linnete is Vivica’s mom. She currently lives in Cleona, PA near the “Big Lots” store. I started doing my community hours on October 19, 2015. The reason of why I decided to tutor Vivica is because Linnete is a single mom of two kids and she doesn’t have too much time to sit and study with Vivica due to work. I wanted to help this family by sharing my math skills, knowledge and my time to help improve Vivica’s education.

In the realm of the world we call college, there are many different paths one can take. When choosing the path of being an education major, one begins to see the benefits of their choice long before they see their degree. The field experience that is required with the courses one has to take for this major allow students to dip their toes into their field and get real life experience before entering the real world. This semester, I had the opportunity of working at Oasis Tutoring Center. While tutoring at this center, I was not only able to learn more about my ability to teach, but also connect these experiences to the psychology of education.

I choose these services because I wanted to experience different ways of helping the community. I also wanted to become more confident in my self by taking different opportunities. I wanted to learn some leadership skills through my services as well. I have learned to be myself through services like the Big Brothers Big Sisters program. I enjoy helping the community and seeing others smile. I am very passionate about the human heart and learning many new medical terms from doing some services for the American Heart Association. I am proud to say that I am making a difference with the service that I have chosen.

In my junior of high school I volunteered, through the educational program Scholars, at a middle school called Tomas Rivera Middle School. As I already had experience tutoring students because of my position as a certified avid tutor in my middle school, I quickly became involved. I worked with students falling in mathematics and English learners. I was in charge of 2 distinct groups. The first, were 7th grade students in advanced algebra 1 and my second group was composed of 8th grade students in regular algebra 1. I worked with these dedicated students for a semester, almost every wednesday before I would go to school, for about an hour and 30 minutes.

Homeschooling is consistent in order to ensure stability in the learning process. Tutors encourages the child creativity and art. The uniqueness of homeschooling is that it allows the students to go on field trips based on their interests and that is to give a child a wholesome approach to life and situations. Tutors always specifically addresses the child as an individual with the aim of ensuring that they get the most of what was learned. One-on-one tutoring has been proven that it boosts the child’s self-esteem (Terry, 2011). The attention of the one-on-one tutoring encourages the child because that attention shows them that their education matters.

I have always been good in math and science, so I was often asked to help out other students. Last school year, as a Freshman I saw greater need for tutoring at my school. That’s when the idea of a tutoring club came to my head. My brother, a Junior at the time, loved the idea too. So, together, we worked out a plan to make a club happen. With the backing of my school, the club is now going strong. I am a lead tutor helping elementary kids after school Monday to Thursday.

Through National Honor Society, I was connected with the Literacy Network and was given the opportunity to tutor students at Carson Elementary, a local inner city school. Tutoring at Carson is the most gratifying moment of my week and I always leave feeling that I've made an impact on a child's life.

“There are over 600 single mothers in Bradford County” (Admin.). These women struggle daily with having to raise their children, having to work, and going back to school if they so choose. These women need a helping hand. With the collaboration of The Wise Ones, the What-a-Hoot-Tutoring-Program will be able to give them the help they need. This program will be a helping hand to single moms who have difficulties in their classes. The will be tutored in between their classes and this program will help them to go through school while being less stressed. The Wise Ones is a babysitting program for single moms who can’t find someone to watch their children while they go to class. After the moms drop off their children they have a choice to stay after their class to get extra help with the choice of a tutor. What-a-Hoot-Tutoring-Program is a great way to help single mothers succeed in school.

Teach For America has a huge impact on low-income communities' education. This is one very important reason that I would love to become a part of this organization. I want to be a part of a group that creates a lasting impact on children's education by giving them the resources necessary to succeed. With the proper education, I believe that students can reach their highest potential. When students are reaching their fullest potential, gaps in education can begin to close and we can begin to have equal education for all children. This is something I want to help accomplish with Teach For America. Another reason I am seeking to join Teach For America is because, it will give me the opportunity to better train and prepare myself, as an educator,

On Tuesday, February 9, 2016, this writer had Live Tutoring with Rosetta Stone - Fernando. We reviewed Unit 8, lesson 2 which describes places and foods. Fernando challenged each student to go further by naming the places if it was a bridge name it and asking if you visited or any plans of visiting the place. Additionally, we practiced describing the foods and each participant described their preferences of food they preferred.

I have chosen to go into this field because I want to be one of those early childhood teacher that get children ready for important part of life. Having little cousins to watch growing up as well my own children and see them grow in their early education has shown me that I want to be part of that. I love the thought of being the first person to get the children started with their education by helping them along the way with fun filled classroom activities and games.

I am beyond excited to participate in the Semester in the City Program. I like to learn about theories, history, etc. in a classroom setting, but more importantly, I love hands-on learning. The Semester in the City program provides opportunities for their incoming students to pair up with an organization/agency that addresses a social issue that the student is passionate about and allows them to develop the skills that they want to accomplish. I am interested in learning how an area that is becoming an urban area affects the local economy and education, while considering how the local economy and education system affects the urbanization process. A community plays an important role in creating resilient kids, so I think it is important to learn
