memories

Ali’s teaching demonstration was amazing.  I brought back a lot of memories from college.  I was a biology and math tutor in college and this is what first gave me the teaching bug.  I loved being able to sit with a peer one on one and work through problems and help them understand the material.  Ali was so great at this.  Sometimes students just need that one on one question to prompt their understanding.  I find myself so often ask my husband or a co-worker for help with some problem and by relating the problem to them I unintentionally work through it on my own.  I think students just need an outlet to voice the material sometimes.  Ali’s technique was so good in that is allowed the student to formulate her own opinions about the poem without fear of being wrong.  Ali did such a good job putting her at ease.  I miss those days of peer tutoring and the feeling I would get when I could “see” the light bulb come on for a student.
