Hi. I've experienced personal tutoring twice in the past, although not in a voluntary way.
The first I was hired as a private tutor to a child who was having problems in school. The most wonderful thing about it was when I started seeing how the child assimilated all that I've taught her - even the way words were pronounced - and how we got so close to each other. I was able to motivate her to learn and more importantly, to have confidence.
The second instance we were a group doing community immersion for our practicum in class. We had review with the graduating elementary students in preparation for their taking the entrance test for secondary school. And even after our semester ended in school, we still continuously returned to the school of those kids and we even attended their graduation.
Everytime I see one of them now, they would always remember. It feels so good that I was able to impart something to them.
