A lot of these go hand in hand. For instance, attitude and approachability could be one category because without a good attitude, you won’t be approachable and vice versa. Being welcoming and positive is the only way your client will feel comfortable working with you. I also feel that “fosters independence, verifies knowledge, and scaffolding” [...]
Honestly, I can’t really say I had any bad appointments, at least on my part, this semester. Not because I’m some awesome tutor or anything but because all of my clients were pretty freakin’ awesome. They always came prepared for sessions, most of them had all of their questions already lined up, and no one [...]
Journal 4 Self Evaluation 1.· Attitude and Approachability, and Encourages/Supports seem to intertwine and could probably be combined. Whether one is encouraging, supportive, or approachable directly involves one’s attitude. If their attitude is negative, they will not be very approachable and the support and encouragement will most likely be negative. · Attendance could probably be [...]
I, unfortunately, was not able to attend the last PEP meeting and add to the list of improvements needed for Rollins. Upon reading the list, I was struck by a couple things. Firstly, there were many conflicting ideas. One statement would ask for more foreign languages and another would ask for removal of the foreign [...]
Tutoring this semester has only presented me with two difficult situations (lucky I know). My first difficult situation was with a student who wanted tutoring in his New Testament class. Not a problem – until I realized that he had a completely different professor (he was a Holt student) and was using a completely different [...]
Attitude 4- I really enjoyed tutoring this semester and I enjoy the material, biology. I feel like I was able to help students with the material because I myself understand it. I think that tutoring a subject that I enjoy helped me become more comfortable and confident with the material. Encourage and supports 4- I [...]
I had some really awesome experiences tutoring this past semester. I really feel like I was able to help students with their studies and gave them the confidence to succeed on tests and quizzes and study habits. I had a frequent client that gave me good feedback on how I was helping him. He made [...]
I have been asked countless times how I find the time to tutor and why I do it. And the answer always is that I find the time becuase I like it. I think that tutoring at TJs has been one of the most rewarding things I have done at Rollins. It is great to [...]
Because Pete makes the most delicious smoked turkey!
How many times have you had a kid come in who doesn’t have his book, has no clue what material they are even studying, and then hands you his homework assignment to do it for him? Hopefully not that many, but I’m sure that it has happened. Then, when you tell the student that you [...]
I want to share a great experience I’ve made 2 weeks ago. Somebody made an tutor appointment for ECO 203. I called him in order to ask what material he wants to discuss. He said what it was and I assured that I will look into it and prepare myself. However, I realized very fast [...]
Recruiting is starting…and besides me and your professors asking students to tutor, you all can talk it up with your classmates. You guys know what being up here really involves. Be thinking of which of your fellow students would be good up here. Who would appreciate more opportunities to learn? …more insight into both the [...]
Hello everyone! As an “veteran” science major I fell it is my duty to help out those just starting out! As a tutor I can offer my experiences and my knowledge to anyone seeking advice. Also, I believe communicating with profs is the best way to facilitate learning however, everyone seems to be a little intimidated [...]
