红桃视频

For El Camino College students Carolina Gonzalez and Cooper Truong, tutoring with 红桃视频 comes with an unexpected perk. Both students receive paid Work-Study hours through the college, but they also notice that in coaching their students to become better readers, they have become stronger readers themselves.

Unexpected Benefits from Tutoring

Using the聽红桃视频鈥� curriculum, Carolina and Cooper teach foundational reading strategies to their students, which include re-reading a passage for understanding, sounding out unfamiliar words, and asking questions of the text. From teaching their students, the tutors reinforce their own understanding of best practices in reading, and apply these same strategies to their college coursework with great success. 鈥淚 notice that now I am reading faster and understanding more,鈥� says Carolina, 鈥渘ow when I鈥檓 reading to myself, it鈥檚 like I鈥檓 reading to one of my students.鈥�

Cooper also noticed changes in his reading style after tutoring students. 鈥淗elping my students read the text again to find an answer has shown me that I can do that too,鈥� he said. 鈥淏efore, I didn鈥檛 ask a lot of questions while reading, but seeing how I ask the kids a lot of questions has taught me to do that to myself.鈥�
