Ruby Willmann, AmeriCorps Team Leader at Bellevue Elementary
I’ve been tutoring the same kid for almost two years now, and he’s absolutely amazing. He’s a wonderful kid, and having worked with him one-on-one for so long, I feel like I’ve been able to learn how to relate to him. Today was amazing. Lately, we’ve been working on focusing and not wasting time by complaining, and today he sat down and just got straight to work. He read, we worked on our curriculum, and practiced our reading fluency. We had a whole ten minutes for me to read him The Trumpet of the Swan (which is his incentive to finish his work quickly). Walking back to class we talked about Pokemon and Digimon – his two favorite cartoons – and we tried to describe them using some adjectives from our “Word of the Day” activity. Overall, best tutoring session ever!
