Community Service

I tutored middle school kids during my time of community service.  The field I tutored was 8th grade mathematics, this experience made me remember how easy I had it when I was their age. Of course the real challenge was being able to explain to it the kids, it made me realize how challenging it must be to be a good teacher. When I got to know some of the kids, I noticed they didn’t care and most didn’t bother trying. I could relate to them in such a sense, they weren’t really given much motivation. My way of teaching them was showing them how I solved it, explaining why each part fit and somehow relating it to other things. Each kid learned differently, I suppose thats how it works and makes it much harder for a teacher to help an entire class do well. With the time I’ve spent tutoring these kids, I am hoping that i did a good job and that these kids will begin to do better.
