Tutoring Level Semester Tutee Grade Level School District Reflection
Emergent Fall 2023 K Chesapeake My tutee for this practicum was very willing to participate in the activities and had a very positive attitude towards the lessons. He was an online student on a daily basis and was familiar with receiving instruction in that format. Although the time was short, he did show improvement by the end of our tutoring time. Beginner Fall 2023 2 Prince Edward This tutee was a very energetic second grader. He was stationed in an afterschool room that was used for tutoring and homework. At times, he was distracted by the activity around him, he participated and made it through each lesson successfully. He caught on to concepts easily and often wanted to teach the lessons. At the completion of lessons, I would allow him to call a word or two for me to have to spell. He liked the challenge of racing to see if he could “beat the tutor” in writing the word on the white board first. He forced me to think on my feet to keep him engaged. It was a good learning experience for us both. Instructional Spring 2024 6 Nottoway Although I began this experience with one tutee, she pulled out of tutoring and I picked up another tutee. My second tutee is motivated and eager to better her reading comprehension. She looks forward to tutoring sessions and comes ready to work. She asks questions and wants to understand how to correct her problem areas. She uses the tools she is given and is showing progress. Her positive attitude and motivation is paying off in bettering her literacy journey.
