Hurley-tutoring scenario 1.
In this scenario, I would begin by telling the student that while high school is very difficult, college is very different from high school and for that reason, it is not fair to themselves to use their high school grades as a marker to where they should be in college. I would also try to get the tutee to focus not on the grade so much and focus on what they are doing right.
College is an entirely different realm. Standards are set higher and a person grows more in their education versus leveling out or staying the same as when they were in high school.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Stephen. I would also tell the student that High School and College are very different and that maybe they should re-examine their approach on studying. I would explain to them that every teacher and every class is gong to be different and that they will probably need to have different study habits based on each individual class. I would also encourage them to not give up and they once they learn the way the class set up, then they will do much better.
