Recently, I accepted a position with a summer tutoring program through a university in a nearby town to teach upper level Mathematics or 5-weeks this summer. I am excited to spread my wings and give something new a try. I have always enjoyed Math. As a student, Math was definitely my strong suit although I went to the Interscholastics meet in English one year, which was a total shock for me, but I do also enjoy reading and writing.
I will be teaching three different classes, Algebra I/Geometry, Algebra II, and advanced Math (my choice on subject). I am a bit nervous just because I am unfamiliar with the content, but I am very confident in my ability to plan and (re)learn what I am about to teach. I am excited for this opportunity.
Two of the three classes are very small with one class only having three students and the other just twelve. The advanced Math is the biggest class with twenty-one. This excites me because it is very similar to our class sizes in my current full-time teaching position. I think the smaller classes will keep my nerves down and allow me to teach more to my current style with these kiddos.
I am currently working on a developing a syllabus, which makes me feel like I am a college professor! It's interesting but fun because I enjoy creating new documents and making things my own.
Who knows what doors this opportunity may open for me, but I am eager to take it on and get started. Check back later for updates to see if I'm doing okay!
