I'm originally from Ohio, so right now I'm enjoying exploring a new city. Other than that, I love to run track, and I used to be a gymnast, so I love to do anything involving that.

What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
During the first session, I take about a half hour to get to know my student. The information I am looking to gather includes academic and personal goals, some personal information like hobbies and interests, and game plans and strategies. I feel that it is important to explain why I am approaching tutoring the way I am, and I find that it helps students to be more motivated if they can understand the why of things. After we take some time to get to know each other and discuss goals, we will begin going over material. This portion includes a variety of different styles, depending on the subject we are discussing. However, I like to begin a first session with having a student explain to me their struggles with the material and what they want to go over in our first session. After that, we will begin the tutoring process, and I will start taking over lesson plans once I get a better idea of the goals. Finally, I want to let the student know that tutoring will revolve around his or her needs. I want my student to give input into what parts they like about sessions, and what is or is not helping them learn. I like to create lesson plans with my student at the end of each session, so both the student and I know what to expect in the coming sessions.
