Group Tutor at Burlingame High School
November 2008- June 2012
Burlingame, CA
From my sophomore to my senior year of high school, at Burlingame High School, I was the lead group tutor for student who were struggling in their algebra I, geometry, algebra II, and pre-calculous classes. Whether by referral from their math teacher or by choice 8-15 students showed up every week for one hour group tutoring sessions. Tutoring in these students gave me confidence in to be able to work one on one with a student and feel comfortable teaching math.
In these session I:
- Lead instruction in building students a solid foundation in math by:
- actively listened to their math questions than answered their individual questions from homework and class
- working through sample problems with them
- teaching them the material in a way that allowed 95% of the students to understand the concept that troubled them priorly
- Improving their grades and study habits by showing them my study and time management techniques
- Trained other tutors to teach in similar effective ways after I graduated from high school
