Tutoring is more than just teaching !!

Oct 14, 2024

Tutoring is more than just teaching—it’s about empowering others and building confidence. Schoolhouse has provided an amazing platform to learn and grow, not just for students but for me as a tutor. When I see a student’s "aha" moment, I know I’m making a difference. Each student brings unique challenges, which pushes me to adapt, learn, and grow. At Schoolhouse, the diversity of students from different cultures and backgrounds enriches every session. Tutoring also allows me to live my belief of giving back to society through education. It’s not just about academic success; it’s about inspiring others to reach their full potential, while I continue to evolve as both a teacher and a learner.

From a Mere Learner to a Certified Tutor

Sep 8, 2024

When I joined the Schoolhouse community in March 2024, I was thrilled to discover that all the tutors on this platform were just like me: they were all students! To be honest, I never thought that I would get to the point where I would be tutoring others in various subjects. Being a tutor has taught me self-confidence and has helped me to explain my ideas in a coherent manner. I hope that others on this platform can discover the immense joy of the gift that keeps on giving: education. Thank you Schoolhouse for providing me with the ability to impact the lives of others through the indubitable power of learning :)

The Schoolhouse Revolution

Oct 11, 2024

A few months back, I was struggling with the exercises in Khan Academy. I felt that my questions in the discussion page were never answered quickly enough. The white pages with comments, answers, and questions were filled with a distance that could not be bridged. I felt disconnected from the other users. Then one day, I found Schoolhouse on the internet, while searching for various websites to boost my productivity and learning pace. At first, I was scared to join sessions. The idea of speaking in a session or even writing in the chat repelled me and I lost my courage. Eventually, though, I joined the Word of the Day series, which was the first series I joined on Schoolhouse. The tutors were warm and friendly, the learners enthusiastic, and the slides were nothing short of amazing. Eventually, I attended session after session, never missing a class, and my vocabulary grew, as did my passion for learning. Currently, I have joined 50 sessions, and have logged over 1500 minutes of learning, something that I could never have done without Schoolhouse and its wonderful community. Thank you, Schoolhouse.

Schoolhouse: The Heart of Education

Sep 8, 2024

Joining the Schoolhouse platform in May of 2024, I started off as a learner in the SAT Reading & Writing Bootcamp. Increasing my SAT score by about 50 points, it was at that moment I recognized the impact that Schoolhouse tutors can bring to the community. As a result, I decided to become a tutor on the Schoolhouse platform, specifically tutoring in the Enrichment and SAT Prep subworld. As a tutor, I have learned and have continued to practice discipline, responsibility, patience, and empathy. Helping another student reach their "Aha!" moment when it comes to learning is an incredible sense of fulfillment I get to experience with each session I host. On top of that, I get to meet well-rounded, passionate students from all over the world, some from Korea, France, Canada, Brazil, South Africa, and Nigeria, always learning from my students about their background and their life story. I hope to continue my passion for teaching through the Schoolhouse platform, empowering the process of learning to students around the world. Anthony J. D'Angelo once stated: "Develop a passion for learning. If you do, you will never cease to grow." Ultimately, it is Schoolhouse which provides individuals of all ages and backgrounds to taste the power of learning.

I was failing my MYP Biology Class!

Sep 16, 2024

Last year I was taking MYP Biology, My tutor was the best. He never missed a day and was on time. His power points were clear and concise. I understood lessons. I was able to learn without all of the distractions and he took his time. Instead of taking a bunch of notes, I was able to learn and get a clear explanation of each lesson. My teacher was out a lot and the substitutes just showed us videos. I passed my Biology EOC with a level 4. I'm so thankful for my tutor.

SohCahToa

Aug 23, 2024

I used to think that I would never be able to solve a trigonometry problem. So when I saw a triangle question pop up on my Schoolhouse practice test, I froze up. However, I remembered going over the mnemonic “SohCahToa” with my schoolhouse tutor during a SAT math session. Confidently, I solved the problem by applying what I learned. Even though I didn’t get the question right due to forgetting to simplify the answer, my tutor and I were proud of progress I made. I was proud of solving something I never thought I could solve.

What Learners Have To Say About Sessions

Professional young man speaks very good as a teacher, as someone would with a great deal of experience. Vismay P. is very knowledgeable about programming. I would definitely recommend this tutor. Also he shared many recourses that will be very helpful to me in my continued learning. There were 2 people in the class and attention was given to each person fairly so that each person took from the class.

(Parent here) Excellent teaching -- the best tutoring we've seen so far. Very organized, useful time management tips, engaging process of letting kids try the questions on their own then calling on them to explain, and helpful review of key learnings at the end. Thank you!

I don’t know how but your way of explaining complex topics make so much sense to me. I tend to struggle with a lot of topics because I am definitely more of a hands on learner which was difficult in a virtual school setting since I tend to not ask a lot of questions even though I know I should. I really appreciate how attentive you are and if you continue doing topic like tonight’s, I will probably pass the exam because of you :’).
