language teacher and am a migrant here.

However, I have also noticed that our athletes do not use the machines alone. They love to work together, hone in on their tennis skills and even utilize the ball machine for creating games. However, with the organization…

For my service learning placement, I decided to volunteer my time with the Greater Ohio Virtual School and was able to tutor two students for about 18 hours and 30 minutes. The subject areas that I focused on with these students were Spanish and English.

For instance, in relation to clarifying my…

hard to communicate through different levels. People who are very fluent in a subject can miss little things that can make a big difference in understanding what is being said. A peer tutor is, well a peer. They often have a similar track and can communicate from a learner level rather than a teaching level. A peer tutor can also show the learner that the information can be grasped, the peer can share their own experiences and struggles. We often use this method at my company to help struggling…

Throughout my life I have been intrigued by the teaching methods of teachers, particularly when it came to the subject of mathematics.

Yet, I have felt that neither…
