• Feb 2013 - May 2014

Through AVID, I tutored multiple subjects to high school and middle school students. This tutoring sessions are held during school hour in a 7:1 ratio. I facilitate the tutoring and discussion session in order for students to work together to come to a solution through questioning rather than simply being told the answer. This allows students to critically think and pin point their strengths and weaknesses.

San Francisco Promise Peer Mentor

• Dec 2012 - Jun 2013

As a San Francisco Promise Peer Mentor I provided academic assistance to middle school students who were identified as potential college bound students by their teachers. The goal of the program was to help students who were performing below their potential and give them the aid and resources they needed to become college bound students. I had a case load of four students that I saw three to four times a week during school hours. I sat in class with them overlooking their in class work and redirecting them if they lost focus. In addition, I assisted students with their note taking skills, studying skills, and helped them with their homework. Show less

These meetings were on a one on one basis where we discussed strategies and techniques such as time management, speed reading, how to write notes, to help them succeed academically. I also presented workshops to students to teach them organization and study skills in order to better prepare for their exams and daily course work. Lastly, I supervised and trained new employees on work ethic and the counseling fundamentals needed to help students. Show less
