The Learning ZoneBy: Sol Marie Arroyo

At the East Branch Library Every Thursday afternoon Session 4:00-5:30 PM

I tutored…

Offered through Arlington Public Library System

It is meant to be a way to enhance the studies of school-age children in grades first through third by offering free tutoring and homework assistance.

First hour we work on homework and last 30 minutes is game time.

What’s The Learning Zone?

school To be a GREAT tutor and to impact their life

Personal Goals

About my student

First time at the LZ I was a little nervous because I had no idea what to expect.

We usually always worked on math, reading and writing the first hour of every session.

When Yasin had no homework we read books together.

He was a great reader and always smiled!

During our sessions

The last hour was spent playing educational games.

Game time was his favorite! He would always ask if it was 5 pm.

Fun learning

I am more comfortable working with kids now then before.

I feel more prepared as a future teacher. All students are unique and we need to be

their to help and motivate them. All children have different needs.

Learning experience

I had a great time tutoring for the learning zone. This will be a unforgettable moment. I feel very good about myself helping these kids. Each day was a new learning experience and I have learned a lot from it.
