So this past semester I tutored an 8th grade boy in algebra. I only got the job because the education department secretary emailed all the ed majors and I think I was the only one to respond. But I did something like 6 45-50 minute sessions with him and it was kind of awkward because what shy 8th grade boy isn’t awkward, but he was a sweet kid.
But anyway I got an email today from his mom weeks after we finished our sessions thanking me and telling me he got an A on his last algebra test (the first he’s earned in months) and said it was because of my help.
I am feeling so good about becoming a teacher right now.
