I believe that in order to grow as a learner we must first find out where you as a learner are. Once your level of comprehension has been has been determined, I will create a detailed and systematic approach so that we as a team can accomplish all of your goals. I look forward to working with you.

I would like to spend the first 5 minutes getting to know the student and building a relationship. After learning the student's background, my primary objective would be to determine my student's strengths and weaknesses as a learner as well as whatever content we will be covering. From there I would hope to start tutoring immediately.

I believe, in order to do this, you must help find students find relevance in the content as well as establish goals with specific time objectives so that students can see and feel growth.

It is extremely important for students to feel growth and to see that they are becoming more competent in their studies. This would be like students having individualized trackers.

Well I would plan on utilizing various different learning methods. If a student was not understanding the concepts fully, I would hope to find an activity or online lab which could help them further their understanding of the material.

As a tutor, this is my job to help students. Because I am primarily helping students with science based concepts, I would find texts that fit their Lexile levels so that they can still complete the reading's but are not completing reading tasks that are above their level of comprehension.

I found that building a trusting relationship is key. Students must know that you care about their progress and success.

I would like to find the student's personal interests, and then use those interests to hopefully tie into the content and increase relevancy. I have found if you can utilize real-life examples, students are much more likely to retain information.

At the beginning of each section I would administer a brief pre-test, and then at the end of each lesson administer an exit ticket or some type of assessment to check for understanding.

You need to provide scaffolded lessons, which allow students to show their proficiency, and then continue to challenge students with rigorous questions.

I evaluate a student's needs primarily through 2 ways. I first evaluate a student's needs via assessment, and then secondly simply by talking with the student and asking them how they feel about specific topics/content.

I try to alter my lessons depending on the student's strengths. For example, some students may be visual learners and need to see examples or simulations before they can fully master the material.

I utilize various resources online.
