I've begun to tutor again and hopefully this time, it will be better. The last kid i tutored was able to bring his grade up from an F to a C but i was not pleased. I know that I had an especially hard time getting him to pay attention but I expected more. This time, i am tutoring with more experience. I teach everything, starting at the beginning. Even if the student knows the stuff, it still builds confidence. On wednesday, i tutored in Algebra I. Today i will do the same. I hope my student is willing to learn like the one i had on wednesday. I could see the boy was trying on Wednesday and when i was finished, i felt happier that he was leaving knowing something. So i start at the beginning today...Real numbers, Absolute value, algebraic symbols, Expressions, Equations and simplifying them. It should take about two hours if i work through problems as well.
As for the other kid i am supposed to tutor. Justin, justin! I love Justin a lot. He is a very sweet kid. When Justin gets older, he will be a "chick magnet." He is adorably cute. Later on, when he gets older, he will just be extremely handsome. Before Ami and I started dating, Justin used to come to the store with Ami to deliver flowers for me. he was not even 2 at the time. Now Justin is 6 and ready to start 1st grade in september.
Okay, while i was typing up this blog, I had to leave. It's Monday now, no longer Saturday, and from my tutoring, I realized that Justin can read. He is sounding out his words and he has memorized the easier words. He will definitely be reading at the end of the summer. His mom was thrilled to know that. As for the other kid, Justin's elder half-brother, he learnt the first chapter of the Algebra book. I started from the beginning so nothing would look foreign to him. So far, so good. I like tutoring this time around...not like the first time. It looks promising and i hope things go well with it.
