My Tutoring Experience
My placement site is at Lowrey Middle School, in Ms. Taylor's 6th and 7th grade life management class. Lowrey School is located at 6601 Jonathan, Dearborn, Mi 48126.This class is mostly a hands on learning experience for students about some of the tasks they will need and use in the future. The classroom is a combination kitchen, and sewing room. The kitchens have most of the equipment a real kitchen at home would have. The sewing room has real sewing machines for all students to sew projects. The teacher's desk is located in the center in between the two rooms and it is where all of the demonstrations are shown. The classroom gives the students a sense of realism but maintains a learning atmosphere.

I also help students when they need it and make sure I get to lead them on the right track. In the seventh grade class, they tend to be a little more self dependent, yet they still need help. Help such as a difficult time with the sewing machine is an everyday job for me. In the seventh grade class, I spend most of my time helping out the two bilingual students with their work and interpreting to them the teacher's directions. At the end of the day, Ms. Taylor gives me an idea about what we will be doing with the students next. My bilingual skills are very important to contributing the help the students. Interpreting what is required to the bilingual students in Arabic is necessary for their learning. Also you must give the students a sense that you have some authority, while developing a friendship.
