But the first recorded use of an organized, systematic peer tutorial learning project in the Western World didn't come about until the late 1700's. Arising from school budget woes in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, peer tutoring became an effective way of giving underprivileged (at this time, sadly, only

performances. One of the most frequent positive points on my lessons is the use of elicitation. For instance, on my Teaching Practice (TP) 2, my tutor Ricardo pointed out that “[I made] good use of elicitation.” Also, my other tutor Linda, during the tutorial, told me that I have “a variety of elicitation techniques” and that “[I] elicit throughout the class.” Furthermore, my peers have also congratulated me for the way I elicit from students the information I need. For Scott Thornbury (2011), eliciting
Imagine you're playing in a volleyball match. The setter sets up the ball for you and you come in, and slam the ball to the floor. In many ways, peer tutoring is like volleyball. The tutee is the hitter, and the tutor is the setter. In this situation, they are peers that the coach, or teacher, put together to score the point, or get the A+. See, the tutor is always trying to make the tutee better. Most peer tutoring programs have had positive results. Many studies prove them to be cost effective
Master Tutor Final Reflective Essay As a master tutor for Art I I have had to interact with many different type of students and artist.

Everyone experiences that “ah-ha” moment, the epiphany, or realization, where he or she realizes something he did not know prior to that moment. Some epiphanies occur over academic achievements while others involve simple, everyday tasks such as opening a can. Whether someone finally grasps a math concept that he could not understand in class or realizes what the word “loquacious” means, people experience many epiphanies over the course of a day. My epiphany occurred while teaching, something that
Many think that community service is just something you are forced to do for school. To me, community service is a way of giving back. I like making people feel as though they matter, and it gives me a warm feeling at the end of the day because I feel I have made a difference. I grow as a person each time I do community service. Some people do community service because they have to, but I do it because I want to. I have volunteered about 52 hours of community service in the READ program at a local
Being a Good Tutor Tutoring, you think it is the easiest job that you could have. You think so because of the flexibility of time, and the only thing you need to do is be there on time to help students (Tutees) with the subject that they have difficulty understanding, which you obviously have the full knowledge about because you earned an ‘A’ or ‘B’ in earlier semesters. However, all that you were thinking is definitely wrong. The tutees don’t care how much you know, until they know how much

There are many skills that I need to improve on to be successful in school, but I am going to focus on three of them for now. My grammar has not always been a strong point in my writing.

My resources for improving my grammar were, Grammarbook.com, Writing-program.uchicago.edu, and “The Little Seagull Handbook.” I also have trouble with shyness, which affects me whenever

I sometimes get to the office for my schedule. When I arrive to the office for the list, the math class is missing. This used to be my recurring dream in high school. Math does not have to be scary. I recognized that I associated fear with a dislike for mathematics. It easy to tell, I did not like mathematics. When I reached the grade that required
