Not enough students = /

Last Tutoring Tuesday, there was not much to help with because the school district had a late open day on Thrusday, meaning they open two hours later, so all the teaching fellows tutors that come on Thrusdays had to come on Tuesdays instead, and we all had to double and triple up on students. Needless to say I did not get much one on one time with my student, my first girl tutee, and she was working with word porblems in math, so I pretty much just let the other tutors take over because I had no idea what I was doing! But I learned an important strategy from the other tutors, to have the student recap what they have learned and attempt to "teach" you what they just learned, this way, you know the student has fully grasped the concept.

  1. Haha normally you don't ever hear about a school having too many tutors or teachers, especially within the last year. It might of been unfortunate for you and the other tutors who weren't able to really practice helping kids though, but at least the students had plenty of available help
