Tutor

This past October, I applied to be a tutor for both The Study and Student Athlete Support Services here at Loyola. As a tutor, I spend about 3-6 hours a week in The Study, located on the 3rd floor of Jenkins Hall, helping fellow students and student-athletes better understand their class material. However, The Study is also used as a workspace, utilized by Loyola students for individual studying, group projects, as well as tutoring sessions. Students that are together in The Study at the same time are part of a gathering, which Goffman defines as “any set of two or more individuals whose members include all and only those who are at the moment in one another’s immediate presence” (Goffman, 18). More specifically, this gathering would be instrumental,…

Believe it or not, going on a first date and being a writing tutor have many similarities. There is a wide scope of tasks men should accomplish if they want their first date to be a successful one. Men should do certain little things before, during, and at the end of each first date that could potentially contribute to their overall success. A successful writing tutor shares many of the same qualities as a man who plans a memorable first date. The list goes on and on but creating a confident…

When I first arrived at college, I did not expect to do all the things I am doing currently. One of those things would be a tutor, and help other people with their struggles in different classes. I was always good in subjects such as mathematics and science, but never would I have thought I would be a tutor. The reason for it is because I am not an outgoing person. I am not a person who would talk to anybody I do not know, let alone ask them if they need help. I always had the ability to help…

knowledge and abilities of the supporters builds capacity of the university (Malloy, 2011). The extent to which Central Valley College engages in inquiry The process of inquiry is essential to quality practice; therefore, it is important to realize the impact of neglected assumptions (Duke, 2011). Central Valley College is data and survey driven, but applicable, pertinent research in areas of process are questionable. There is a relatable example based on a recent meeting involving math and…

In the ELI, there are six levels that are taught gradually. Sometimes, when the ELI students go to the writing center, it is hard for the tutors to get what some students want to say in their papers. There are different tutors who are working on different shifts. The tutors sometimes cannot track the progress of students. But if the ELI has its own writing center, it will be easier to track the progress of students. A number of committed tutors will work with the writing center on a permanent…

In my Sunday School class, I teach about 5-6 students on average on a good day so trying to get 8 students all involved in the lessons and activities was going to be a challenge. I did not know how big of a challenge until I started the field experience. My mentor teacher prepared the tutors and encouraged us. She is an incredible teacher and mentor. I am truly happy to have had her teach me everything she knows about teaching. She is a positive, loving, kind-hearted teacher who respects the…

leaving and started Adjusting to a new environment. After few month when i started to attending high school i started to observe the advantages and the improvement i was having in my daily routine that i never had back home. Back in my country the education system that they had is not great as compared to the education we have here. First of all, people over there had to pay for school and tutor every month, even fee for admission to the school. That most of the lower class people could not…

First, the number of the tutors at ERAU is limited and not enough for the students’ need. For example, there is only one tutor for all business majors. With all respect to the university, how can one tutor help management, finance, and marketing students at the same time? Next, ERAU prepared a small area for the tutoring center. This can be seen, there are four classrooms at the college of art and science (COAS) that serve all the learner. Last, the work time of the tutoring center is an…

pre-health/vet prerequisite courses, this includes BIO 1114. This opportunity allowed me to understand what is expected of an employ of the Academic Success Center, and learn the best strategies for helping students encage with material in just a hour time frame. I have also tutored at Lincoln Academy, which is an alternative high school in Stillwater. This has given me the ability to understand what is like to work in difficult environments where there is no schedule, dogs are running around,…

Why do you want to become a tutor for the UTC? What qualities do you possess that will make you an effective tutor? I want to become a tutor because I greatly enjoyed tutoring both my Junior and Senior years of high school. I have always helped those around me who struggle in class and tutoring is a natural extension of that. Additionally, tutoring is one of the only careers I have had experience in so far making this a familiar job. My best quality for this job is experience. I tutored on a…
