The LACER tutoring program has always had tutors assisting students. However, recently there has been a change.
This year, Daniel Gonzalez and Eric Siegel, along with former tutor Michael Hakopian, are the new tutors for LACER after-school tutoring. Each of these tutors specialize in math, English, Science and Spanish.
“All three tutors are really awesome at every subject. Mike is like especially good at all the maths and the sciences, through AP Calculus and through physics and all that stuff,” said Vanessa Gonzales the cheer coach.
Each tutor has their own strengths. Gonzalez’s strength is English, math, and Spanish while Siegel’s is English and Michael’s is Math and Science. Although they are said to be good tutors, they took a special training session along with LACER’s other tutors at Fairfax High School to help seniors with their college applications, personal statements, and other help they might need.
The two new tutors were interviewed and hired by Ramiro Segovia, LACER Program Director. Having just joined the team for about 2 months now, these two new tutors have successfully mentored students using their own teaching methods. Daniel Gonzalez said that the method he uses is “just repetition. I’ll attempt to teach it one way then I’ll ask did you to see if you understood it.”
