My senior project was all about making sure that the students that needed help from me understand and complete their work. It was mostly tutoring students by helping them complete their acellus online courses. My main goal for this was to tutor for 30 or more hours which I completed right before the end of the first semester. This was because my project was a half-mentorship half-project.
The tutoring online was a new concept to me because I've only taught students in person. Learning how to show work and teaching on zoom was something that I really enjoyed and would prefer to tutor like this in the future. This is because zoom allows me and the students to draw on a virtual whiteboard or on someone's screen. This was an amazing help because I could point out specific things that were on their screen as well as show examples on how I could solve specific equations.
Overall, this project was very enjoyable. It had me expand my communications skills by having to get students aware of my tutoring and get them set up for tutor times. There was a lot of creative and critical thinking that was used in creating the mini lessons I would give to them to teach a specific concept. I also had to research better ways of teaching and also to remind myself some of the concepts I am rusty on.
