I'm not just talking financially - although it certainly can be - I think it is a great thing to do to have that one to one teaching relationship, trying to help someone understand something.NathanRyderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17963023116440525852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3869075072931465663.post-31518425866878147022008-09-01T16:42:00.000+01:002008-09-01T16:42:00.000+01:00At my undergrad, our math department had a math tu...At my undergrad, our math department had a math tutoring lab, where folks could just come in and get some help with their respective math classes. I worked there all 4 years of my undergrad, and I really loved it. <BR/><BR/>Then I talked to a friend of mine who had just finished her Masters at Wake Forest (where I just started my Masters...), and asked if they had a math lab (she also attended my undergrad, so she was familiar with it). I was so bummed out when she said no.<BR/><BR/>However! The Wake Forest math dept. is about to open a Math Center, which will essentially serve the same function, though they're a bit more restrictive here (you have to have appointments). And part our weekly hours as first-year TAs will be in the math center. So... hooray tutoring!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
