The Tragedy Of Success And Failure
The Tragedy Of Success And FailureGail Myers tutoring is a tutoring agency in Los Angeles, California. Gail's mission is to help children of all ages, ages three through to eleven. In her words, she has helped thousands of children from Los Angeles to New York and from London to Hong Kong.Ms. Myers is the founder of Gail Myers tutoring in Arizona, but she began tutoring six years ago in the Chicagoland area. She says that she could not teach without experiencing first hand the dynamics of a classroom and a learning environment. This experience led her to start tutoring in Arizona.What makes the lessons effective? Most students learn better when their classmates are around them, to tell the truth. The liveliness of their classes encourages students to listen more than to do what they're told.When you bring in a student in another class for example, try it yourself to see if you can take what he or she says with a grain of salt. Ask them what they want to accomplish in the class. It's easy to use yourself in a lesson as a model for the class.What I like about her tutoring is that the lessons are so individualized. Children will come to class ready to learn, and there are no assignments, no tests, and no requirements. This model is more conducive to a child's natural ability to work at their own pace and to reach goals with their own time and attention.Tutoring can be intimidating to the child, but this is a good thing. They need to be taught to go to the areas of weakness and discover their own strengths. It takes some courage, but with the right attitude kids will be able to handle themselves better and become more confident. How did it work in Arizona? The tutors in Arizona began by simply guiding students through the most common classroom activities. When kids did not have what was expected of them, the instructors intervened and had the students find their own answers. After some time, the kids were ready to learn and, as a result, students who had previously been reluctant to take on the role of a teacher became enthusiastic teachers.
