Easley visit #4
November 21- I spent 1.5 hrs at the Easley Center today from 3:15-4:45. I did more math with the kids- same boys as last time but with the addition of another girl in their class or grade or something. I don't know what their teachers are telling them, but I am awful at math and they always come to me! Not that I'm much better at grammar or anything, but I guess I just don't feel comfortable tutoring these kids. I know how to do all of their homework, obviously. But sometimes I just don't know how to explain something like 4x8= ?.... It's something I memorized so besides having them add 8 four times of 4 eight times, I don't know how to explain it. I'm not a teacher for a reason. Neither is math my forte. So I can help them but I'm probably making things harder for them and I take way too much time explaining. I get a little frustrated with the tutoring after I leave.
