About Cassandra

Native English speaker, I'm a recent graduate of California State University Long Beach where I earned my bachelor's in psychology. At CSULB I had the opportunity to study an array of approaches used in psychology. This included courses in research, assessments and social psychology. I am currently an intern as a mentor at Well-Suited College and Career planning where I meet remotely with high school students within Los Angeles County School District. I am also responsible for researching and planning weekly meetings based on the Well-Suited curriculum. I am also a registered behavior technician at ACES ABA where I work with children on the autism spectrum. My role as a RBT has given me experience with natural observations while reinforcing positive behaviors through therapeutic techniques. I am currently looking for a position in a therapeutic environment where I can expand my psychology skills. Once I secure the position I am currently looking for I plan to further my education by enrolling in a Master's program that focuses on therapy, counseling or school counseling.

About the lesson

1. Initial Assessment & Relationship Building:

Build Rapport: Begin by building a strong tutor-student relationship to foster a comfortable learning environment.

Assess Needs & Goals: During the first session, ask questions to understand the student's specific goals, strengths, weaknesses, learning style, and experience with English.

Examples: "Why do you want to be tutored in English?", "What are your goals as an English speaker?", "What are your hobbies and interests?"

Evaluate Proficiency: Gauge their current understanding through informal check-ins, practice problems, or discussions.

2. Planning & Structure:
Develop a Personalized Plan: Based on the assessment, create a tutoring plan tailored to the student's needs, learning style, and goals.

Set Clear Objectives: Define specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) goals for each session and the overall tutoring process.

Prepare Materials: Gather resources like textbooks, worksheets, online resources, and visual aids based on the session's objectives.

Structure the Session: Consider a structured approach like:
Warm-up: Review previous knowledge.

Introduce New Material: Teach new concepts.

Active Learning: Incorporate interactive activities to reinforce learning.

Summary: Review and set future goals.

3. Effective Tutoring Techniques:
Follow-Up & Review: Start each session by reviewing what the student remembers from the previous one, identifying any gaps.

Use Effective Questioning: Engage the student by asking thoughtful questions to gauge understanding and encourage thinking.

Promote Self-Learning: Provide opportunities for the student to solve problems independently and offer guidance through questions when needed.

Employ Multiple Modalities: Use a variety of tools and activities that involve writing, speaking, listening, and other forms of engagement.

Encourage Active Participation: Create an environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and sharing their ideas.

Utilize Technology (if applicable): If tutoring online, leverage tools like screen sharing, virtual whiteboards, and visual/audio aids to enhance the learning experience.

4. Assessment & Feedback:

Assess Progress: Regularly check in on the student's progress and adjust the plan accordingly.

Provide Feedback: Offer constructive feedback on their performance and celebrate successes.

Encourage Student Reflection: Guide students to reflect on their learning and identify areas for improvement.
