Tutoring
I know you haven't heard me talk about this in a while. You know why? It's because I wasn't doing it for a while. But this week I started tutoring again at the Family Center.
I was assigned the cutest little girl:
"you are the best tutor, ever"
"have you ever had a tutor before"
"um, no."
Not much competiton then, huh? haha.
She's only 7 and is in the second grade. I used to work a lot more with sexually active, swearing, fighting pre-teens, so this little child is such a joy. She has trouble with reading and basic math, but isn't that far behind. As a matter of fact, I think we can catch her up real quick to be at the right level for her grade - or even higher.
We were adding and i was holding up my 9 to her 10 as she miscounted out loud and started again. Her tiny palm touching mine, she squirmed in her chair and shouted the answers at the top of her lungs and asked me to draw a star at the top of her paper.
A++ 100%
