Over the coarse of this semester there has been many situations where I able to guide student. Due to my unfortunate inability to do math, I mainly helped student with english and history. This was especially helpful during the beginning of the semester. This was when the tutors main focus was preparing the grade 10 student for the Ontario Secondary School Literary Test (or OSSLT). There was one account in particular that I felt that I helped a student quit well. When I first started working with Ed, he cared little about the OSSLT test, and whether or not he succeeded at it.

I had studied with him by saying a short three to four words of his line, and having him repeat me. I did this throughout the line, often jumping around or starting from the beginning, until he could recite the whole thing. Overall, I feel as though I have helped each of my students to a certain degree Whether I could barely remember math or, like these two encounters, I helped them a
