While tutoring an underclassmen in Spanish, I wanted to undertake new challenges and develop new skills. Spanish is my hardest subject in school, as I struggle formulating thoughts to speak while incorporating all the skills and grammatical skills I have learned. Some skills I learned in the begging of my journey causing me in needing to be refreshed. Tutoring in Spanish so far has helped me to re-familiarize myself with these skills. Preparing lessons helps to really evaluate the skill in a broader sense and real world application. It not only makes me a thinker, but an effective communicator in my foreign language.
Undertaking the challenge of tutoring Spanish also combines with learning new skills. It is really helping me to establish a clear understanding in the basics is Spanish, which was something I have been lacking.
Tutoring as a whole is going well as the other student is actually benefiting from it. His test scores on retakes have improved, on instance from a D to an A. Finding different ways for him to practice what he is learning in class is helping him benefiting him by being at the right pace with the rest of the class and not falling behind with a need to catch up. Going over his test mistakes also seems to aid in the effectiveness of the tutoring.
