Tutoring a 7th grader maths really did help me uncover a buried talent…I can TEACH!! I never thought I had it in me but we had two successful lessons so far and the only problem I had was trying to help her with a sum her teacher gave her that required the Pythagoras theorem (which she obviously hasn’t done before since she didn’t even know what a square root is!). I’ve always helped others with their work before, including my younger brother, but this is the first time I’ve done it formally so it has given me quite a lot of confidence of what I’m capable of when it comes to teaching. Kiyana (the girl I’m tutoring) and I meet every Tuesday after school in the library for 45 minutes or until we get kicked out…!
