Personal Narrative: My Tutor

208 Words1 Page

This year I tutored middle school students. I contributed by always managing to make it whenever I didn’t work and by helping students do their best. My goals last semester was for us to communicate better, we had trouble communicating with the teacher. As a group we didn’t really feel acquainted to her and it was hard for us to communicate. This was one of our challenges because she wasn’t the best person to talk to. I knew we had to change that, so as a group we decided to talk about this among ourselves and we didn’t quite achieve our goal. Most kids are unmotivated to do their work and it’s really hard to work with students who don’t try on their tutorials. One of the biggest challenges were dealing with early release day, or block days.
