Tutoring AVID at high schools in Palos Verdes is such a fulfilling job. I work with students who are eager to learn and enjoy working together to solve problems. We break into small groups and focus on specific topics that the AVID students are having trouble with. During the tutorials in AVID classes I encourage students to help each other work through problems and they often find that they are not the only one struggling with that topic. Each tutor works with one group and provokes discussion about the problem. Step by step we work through each question on a white board, leaving no question unanswered.
I believe that students can excel through collaboration with their classmates in a way that they can’t in a conventional school environment with 30 kids learning from one teacher. From my experience as a student, I have found that the best way to truly understand a concept is when you can thoroughly explain it to others. Students find pride and confidence in helping their classmates understand tough topics in school and that is why AVID programs and tutorials play such a key role in preparing students for higher education.
Most schools in the area have a really good AVID program, including Redondo Union, Palos Verdes, Peninsula, South Torrance, West Torrance, San Pedro, and Mira Costa. A few middle schools (such as PVIS and MBMS) also have programs that help students adjust to the rigors of school at the next level. No matter the school, students must apply, interview, and be accepted in order to take the class, ensuring that all of the kids are committed to their academic success. Having an environment full of dedicated students that you see every day goes a long way to improving the general attitude of all high school students.
