Javante Dodds Tutoring

Tutoring is a very personal action that happens between the student and the tutor. A tutor should feel very comfortable with the student and the material at hand. From the student perspective, students should feel very humbled by the tutor and should feel comfortable asking many questions to complete their understanding of the material. Many students, I believe, become "nervous" in class to ask questions. Therefore, as a tutor, I should be able to make them feel accepted in asking questions. I don't mind helping students, that's what I love to do. From a tutor perspective, I should enjoy the material and talking about it. If I enjoy the material, I can find easier ways to make it understandable to the student. Many students don't find the material interesting, so as a tutor it should be my job to make it enticing to the student as well as comprehensive.

Teaching, mentoring, and tutoring has and continues to be something that I gravitate towards. I am influenced by teachers and how they interact with the students. Ever since I was young, being around the schooling environment as a student, I've always been transfixed by the learning process. My mother always tells me that, "Since I was 4...I always told her I wanted to be a teacher." I can remember these conversations because they still ring true today. I would definitely be an asset to the program because I am willing to help students, I'm willing to spend time with them. Tutoring is a learning process as well as a mentorship between tutor and student. As a passionate person in the education field, I am willing to work.
