I am currently a senior and this is my first year of tutoring. I was recommended by a teacher to become a tutor and I gladly accepted the position. I have been able to meet many new people as well as help them expand their knowledge in a variety of subjects. My favorite subjects to tutor are biology, math and Hebrew. By tutoring, I have been able to pass on my knowledge and problem solving strategies to other schoolmates. Additionally, my knowledge base and skill sets have also increased in the process of tutoring. In addition to tutoring, I am active in many other activities at HPHS. I am in my third season on Jammers, serve on the board and as secretary of Giant Buddies and also serve as vice president of HPMD. I would highly recommend being a tutor for other students. You get to meet and work with many new people as well as receive the satisfaction of helping others. When new students are meeting a tutor for the first time, it is important that they communicate the specific areas of help that require assistance. Remember, there is never a bad question.
