How have you represented Northeastern Peer Tutoring on Knack? I’ve been helping students by accommodating their needs such as outlining topics/goals and providing guidance on how to study for the content. Some tutees prefer to learn visually while others prefer explanations, so I tend give examples that are easy to understand. I believe education is most practical when it’s conveyed in a way that’s easy to understand.
How your experience as a Northeastern Peer Tutor has impacted you? What started off as brushing up on old content turned into learning how to better speak to people and communicate concepts. I am glad I was able to help at least one person do better in classes opposed to having zero.
