Experience

I am a member of the future educators club at college of the canyons. My last service learning project consisted of teaching a 5th grade classroom about robotics and how to program. The project is a robot called Dot and dash in which we programmed dot to perform certain commands with an iPad.The future educators club is a partnership between local school districts and college of the canyons.Working for Frog tutoring helps me to gain experience in my field of choice which I s education and youth.

Approach

As a child I volunteered to tutor younger children outside my classroom I also got hired at age 10 to tutor my younger neighbor.As a tutor I welcome questions and give students the opportunity to demonstrate knowledge in order to gage where the student is in the learning process.Absorbing material is more important than memorizing.Its very important that the student has confidence in their ability to achieve which can be achieved through positive reinforcement by using a reward system (amumba).
