Experience
During the past two years I have been volunteering as a peer helper at the Elk Grove High School. I have been working with regular as well as ESL students. The educational area of help I provided was mostly Polish, Math(regular and Honors courses), English and Writing(regular), and Science(regular, Honors and AP level). Also, I have a younger sister(16 years old) and cousins(8-12 years old) whom I often help with homework assignments. Since I have moved to the U.S. three years ago, I know how hard it is for students to comprehend new knowledge or learn how to study, especially when you are all on your own. While tutoring, I often like to draw analogies between the new concept and a thing we have already comprehended. There are many more methods I have found out during my stay in the U.S. that helped me and my "students" to learn effectively.
