Tutoring again...

I was helping one of the student with the review question.
  Supposedly, there should be a math tutoring every Thursday.So last week, I went to the math tutoring with Ye again to do our volunteer, but surprisingly, there were no student there! We talked to the teacher and he told us to come back again next week, so we did, we came back this Thursday.
   This time, there were some students here but they were not the students from either Algebra or Geometry. There were students from Pre-Calculus. Since I am also in the Pre-Calculus class, I knew they are having a test on the coming week so most of them were studying, but some were doing homework. I knew some of people from the same Pre-Calculus class with me. I was helping them to review but sometimes I also have some trouble with some of the questions. When some of them need help on the homework, I helped them with all the questions that had trouble on because I already finished my math homework for that day in the class. I showed them examples and tried to help them to understand those problems.
    For this time's volunteer, I enjoyed it and at time same time when I helped them, it helped me to review the math for the coming test and brought back the stuff that I forgot. I was worry earlier when I knew I need to tutor people in Pre-Calculus, but I think I did a pretty good job on it and I was happy. I hope my help for the review can help them to get a better score on the test:)

This reminds me of back in freshman year when I used to tutor for Geometry. I think the room was fuller back then, though. I never could study right, so I found tutoring the best way to review. I'm pretty sure I managed to keep at least one kid from failing that year. Hope you get a good grade on your Pre-Cal test!

It's great to know that you got the same benefits as them! You know, sharing is caring. Haha! But anyway, I remember tutoring these Elementary Students at Parkmont School and they would ask me questions that I totally forgot. They had to refreshed my memory a little bit to help me remember, and they do a perfect job at explaining!

That was just a little something that I experienced. But you and Ye are doing a great job! I hope you get a perfect score on your test!

i think that it is great that you are actually helping students that we go to school with everyday. I understand how people have trouble with math because i do also. Its nice that you can offer your help to others.

Whoa, there's no way I can help with high school math other than algebra 1. I don't remember geometry as clear, I have a fuzzy memory of algebra 2/Trig, and I'm currently struggling in pre-calculus right now so I would be pretty useless in math cases like this. However, it's great that you're taking your time to help other students, especially those in pre-cal because yes, that is a difficult class. It's great to see you working with fellow classmates and underclassmen with their math subject! Share the knowledge around:)

Its awesome that you got the same help just like they did. This is a great way to get closer with people and help them. You must be really smart cuz most of the people including me don't remember much about math. Great work Kammy :)
