In my interview with Ash Ameed, I learned a lot about his home country of Egypt and his values and beliefs that shape his life. Before conducting this interview, I did not really think about where the people who live and work around me were from. Ash and his family own three convenience stores in the county, as well as a restaurant. By talking with him and asking him several questions, I was able to learn about his life, his beliefs, and similarities and differences between America and Egypt.…

possible is imperative. By establishing a strong foundation, your student will be better prepared to comprehend tougher concepts, increase their self-esteem and confidence as well as shape their minds for learning.

When it comes to expat students, academics isn’t always the only reason a student struggles in school. A change in expectations and the rigorous demand of international schools are…

Introduction Throughout the Spring 2016 semester, students were expected to volunteer at the Oasis Católico Santa Rafaela tutoring program, which located in a primarily Hispanic community with the goal of serving its local residents by tutoring children to put them on the same educational footing as native English speakers. During this volunteer work, I was exposed to challenges that I was wholly unaware of in a community that is far more underserved than I realized. I will discuss what I…

I learned about the different resources that Brandeis offers its students, such as the writing center, BUGS tutors, also individual tutorial sessions to improve my English (ELP), the Hiatt Career Center, and the writing tutor that SSSP has for their students, among others.

My first job was when my former high school hired me to become an AVID tutor. It was my favorite job I’ve ever had because I got to work with kids in groups and befriend co-tutors. I never knew how hard math can people for students until I worked there. Usually about half the class needed help in math, and I remember I was the only tutor that was good at math. Being a tutor felt like I was actually doing something meaningful; I felt like I was helping students that were…

many wonderful memories of reading, but unfortunately I vividly remember the negative experience because it hit me the hardest. I went to Riverdale Elementary School, a dry dull red brick school. When I was in first grade, the school was offering tutors, sixth graders, to help the students in the lower grades. The sixth graders specifically helped with reading, and they were trying to pace the students to be proficient or even to an advance level. My mother, dark tanned skin, long black silky…

Personal Statement "How can I help?" is a simple question that we normally either dismiss or greet with lukewarm enthusiasm. In this question though, rests a core intention of trying to be part of the solution. It may not seem important, but the simplest of ideas, motivations or questions can begin most journeys, which is true in my case. I remember that as a young child of around 4 years old, I would sit on the counter next to the medicine cabinet and read the back of all the medicine bottles.…

order to allow the school to permanently fill the position – I knew my medical obligations would conflict with the position for several months. Later, knowing I was distraught by giving up the job, one of my professors helped me find work as a private tutor for programming and mathematics.
