Session Notes From Tutoring
Inside A Tutoring Session
In this section, you will be able to view some of my previous tutoring sessions with my tutees. You will learn and comprehend what occurs during our tutoring sessions. You will also discover how my students progress over time. Not only that, but you'll be able to see how I improve as a tutor over time. During a tutoring session, both tutors and tutees will learn and grow.
Self-Reflective Troubleshooting Exercise
The Need to Reflect
In this section, I discussed a specific session in which I reflected and felt I had failed as a tutor. Furthermore, throughout this exercise, I learned from my mistakes and discovered new ways to improve my tutoring sessions. As you continue reading, you will discover that reflecting back is necessary because it shows tutors what they lack and what they need to work on in order to grow and progress as tutors.
"Life will get hard, and you'll probably encounter a steep mountain while your back is up against the wall, unsure of what to do. Rather than giving up, keep struggling, especially when the finish line is right in front of you. It is better to regret now than to regret later."
