At least once a week after school I go to my school’s library to help tutor students in math. I check in at the main desk, and I pick up my badge: “Math Tutor”. It is quite an old badge, which some tutor made by hand years ago. I sit down at a desk, and I take out my own work. Some days are quite slow, and I might as well get a little homework done while I’m waiting for someone to help.

Sometimes, there is more than one person who requires help, and I just sit at the head of a table and supervise people doing their homework. I answer any questions that come up along the way. But I mostly work on my own assignments, and they ask me for help whenever they need it. I walk them through a problem, and they finish the rest of it themselves.

However, other times, there is just one person that comes to me, and they are in need of more than just homework help. Perhaps they have missed a couple days of school, or they simply don’t get the concepts that the teacher is teaching, and need extra help. I sit down with them, and talk to them about their problem. As I slowly go over each problem, I love watching the expressions on their faces change from frustration and confusion to understanding and satisfaction.

I love being a volunteer tutor because of the wonderful, warm feeling I get when I know that I was able to help someone understand or learn something new. I hope to continue doing it for the rest of high school.
