The ultimate goal at Wilsonville High School is to create a passageway for all students to pass their classes with flying colors! This starts with understanding the topics their classes provide, ranging from Math to English and many in between. Wilsonville High School helps by providing student tutors to help with any struggles you may have in school.
Gabby Maoz, a 12th grader, says, “I wanted to help others and it’s a way for me to better understand the topic,” when asked why she decided to enter tutoring. When you choose to be a student tutor, it requires you to explain concepts clearly and simplify complex topics, which deepens your understanding. Also, teaching others about the same subjects you take can enhance communication skills and boost your confidence.
Another reason why tutoring is recommended is because of the advantages and opportunities it has for your future. You may be wondering, does tutoring look good for college? Sophia Brandes, a 12th grader, responds,
“Yes! Giving back to the community is great, and it shows how good you are at the subject.” Tutoring looks good for college because it demonstrates your expertise in a subject, and highlights your willingness to help others learn. This may be a good time to hop on this window of opportunity as a senior or junior.
Student tutoring can be a way for you to connect and grow relationships with students much younger than you. Audrey Buck, a 12th grader, says, ”I mostly have tutored freshman and sophomores.” By helping freshman and sophomores, you build trust and create a friendly face for them as they overcome the first couple of years of their high school experience.
Whether you’re considering becoming a tutor or looking for academic assistance, remember that the journey of learning is best traveled together. Start by checking with the school’s guidance office and see about the academic support system because you may end up enjoying tutoring.
Connections and hard work are the most important parts throughout high school, so don’t be afraid to ask for help!
