Tutoring

September 2020-October 2020

January 2021-April 2021

I had the opportunity to tutor for two children the age of 9. They are in Grade 4 and I tutor them 3 times a week for 2 hour sessions. So far, I have a total of 48 hours tutoring. In our lessons, we cover a wide range of topics such as Mathematics, Social Studies, Science, English, and Art. I have learned how to manage two different teaching techniques because of how different the two girls learn. It has taught me that teaching must involve patience, encouragement, and support. I learned that not only do they need academic support but emotional support as well because learning new information can be difficult. I try my best to relate the material to everyday life to allow a better understanding of the material.

I had the opportunity to coach both grade 6/7, grade 8, grade 9, and grade 10 girls in volleyball at both David Thompson Elementary and Westsyde Secondary. I coached the children 3 days a week, 2 hour sessions, for 3 months at a time. The total number of hours coaching is around 288 hours over the years. Coaching has taught me a lot about what makes a good instructor. I have learned that they respond best to positive affirmations as well as constructive criticism. This allows them to have the encouragement to push themselves towards their best effort. This was a great experience to have since I aim to be involved in extracurricular activities when I become a teacher.
