Student's Challenges
How I Support Students
Chemistry and Mathematics are cumulative; when a student misses a key idea, they miss new ideas.
Fill in gaps. (After finding their gaps).
A student taking a recorded video course cannot ask the instructor for explanations, or look up the ideas in a text book.
We review the video together quickly. Then we’ll pull out my books, manipulatives, or sketch.
Reviewing a digital text is tricky.
I demonstrate digital research skills, with my collection of print books as back up. (They have indexes and glossaries).
They don’t remember what the search terms are.
We brainstorm, look it up in print, and Google together.
The student doesn’t know how to find online resources. Or use them.
I model hope, persistence and bad jokes.
They don’t know how to study in a group (that actually gets studying done).
Until they don’t need me anymore; I facilitate the study group, keep them on task, model politeness, organization, communication and forgiveness.
My Background
My bachelor’s degree is in Chemistry with a minor in Mathematics from Houghton College. I’ve worked as a chemical technician, a college tutor, a knitting designer and even a coffee barista. I especially enjoyed my students who were coming back to college to finish their nursing studies. One of them cheered my son’s birth as a student nurse.
I homeschooled my children. My two eldest were accepted at Wentworth Institute of Technology as engineering students, with scholarships. One has worked as an engineer for several years, the other is a student now. One of his professors said I had prepared him well.
I have tutored college, high school, and elementary students from my church and neighborhood. They have passed difficult courses, increased their grades, and become confident (or at least stopped crying). Now that my youngest child has nearly graduated from homeschool high school, I’m ready to tutor more students.
