CRIBS - Tutorial: Part Two

So I’m back again for the second day of the tutorial in CRIBS. The girls were all there and I saw Alma again, thinking that I will continue the lessons that I started last week. But then, we were lacking tutors on that day so the officer-in-charge assigned me to 2 other girls. They were also friendly, but on the first few minutes they were really quiet and don’t talk a lot. But after talking to them for some time, they began to be more “alive” and that’s when I started teaching them. Algebra and Spelling are the topics for that day, which I think is easier compared to Geometry which I taught last week. The only hard part in today’s tutorial is that I am teaching 2 girls at the same time and I have to focus on both of them. But I think I was able to handle well and succeeded in tutoring the girls . One fun part in today’s tutorial is when I was able to chat with one of the two girls I am teaching as the other one was called by the officer-in-charge. We talked about random things, mainly about the TV shows that they love such as the Korean dramas. We had a good conversation since I also love watching those shows . We went back to tutorial again after some time but then before I knew it the time is already over. After fixing the things, we all said goodbye to each other, hoping to see them again in the future.

My overall experience in tutoring the girls was good and it was really one-of-a-kind. It is my first time to do this and I really had fun in doing it. The people in the foundation were really friendly, which is also one of the reasons why I enjoyed this whole community service.
