I found this section very eye-opening. From what I've learned here, I'm trying to place myself in my future learner's shoes. The strategies for working with an adult learner is so progressive from how I've been taught throughout my life. I think it will be exciting and challenging to work with someone else who may have a completely different style of learning and who has a life full of experiences and knowledge from whom I can learn also. This section makes me excited to get started.

This was really interesting to do because I realized from doing the True False check list that I new more than I though about adult education. Sometimes ones confidence wavers when you realize that you have such a big responsibility and that someone is depending on you.

100% on the quiz. Good! I like to know that I am doing well but my success academically will not be discussed with my learner! If asked about my grades in school, I will side step the question and talk about things that have been hard for me to do and move into asking them what is hard for them. It's all about the learner.

Yay--I learned a lot and the self-check is quite useful.

Learners vary and so do tutors. We are all human. Get to know your learner, be prepared to help them meet their goals as you guide them towards leasrning using relevant materials, use humor, and be flexible for emergencies.

I've learned a lot of information in this section. I've learned to be mindful of my own learning style so that I don't indirectly hurt the learning ability of my learner. Understanding my learning style will help me understand their's better.

The varied types of learning styles are attributed to students and tutors alike. The tutor needs to tailor their style to the style of the student. This will be a learning process for both concerned throughout the multiple sessions.

Adult literacy is a great concern for many individuals, seeing that being literate is a must for all job opportunities. Many adults are ashamed of the fact that they lack the necessary literary skills, so they end up not doing anything to improve it. Fortunately, hope is still available for them, through professional tutoring or mentoring. It is a must though that they know what qualities they should look for. For those who are interested in paying for a Vancouver tutoring service, make sure that you choose a highly trustworthy and qualified agency.

Many adults lack the literary skills they should have. The younger generation is going to school to get degrees and beating out the older generation in job opportunities. Resulting in adults having to go back to school.

From the pre-historic days women have been the source of a piece of adoration for men. Of course, men feel magnetism (sexually) toward women. This is the reason behind men’s wish to watch women’s tits, hips, and cameltoes. Hope see more here: http://bit.ly/2p8efDt

Married men need to feel the difference as they are facing the same figure day by day. They feel lack of excitement in a few years to her ladylove. In the meantime, the sudden appearance of the raunchy figure makes them amours more and more to the ladylove. Hope to know more: http://bit.ly/2pbqD6s

I'm from Paris, I was diagnosed with second-stage liver cancer and brain fog following a scheduled examination to monitor liver cirrhosis. I had lost a lot of weight. A CT scan revealed three tumors; one in the center of my liver in damaged tissue and two in healthy portions of my liver. No chemotherapy or radiotherapy treatment was prescribed due to my age, the number of liver tumors. One month following my diagnosis I began taking 12 (350 point) Salvestrol supplements per day, commensurate with my body weight. This comprised six Salvestrol Shield (350 point) capsules and six Salvestrol Gold (350 point) capsules, spread through the day by taking two of each capsule after each main meal. This level of Salvestrol supplementation (4,000 points per day) was maintained for four months. In addition, I began a program of breathing exercises, chi exercises, meditation, stretching and stress avoidance. Due to the variety of conditions that I suffered from, I received ongoing medical examinations. Eleven months after commencing Salvestrol supplementation But all invalid so I keep searching for a herbal cure online that how I came across a testimony appreciating Dr Itua on how he cured her HIV/Herpes, I contacted him through email he listed above, Dr Itua sent me his herbal medicine for cancer to drink for two weeks to cure I paid him for the delivering then I received my herbal medicine and drank it for two weeks and I was cured until now I'm all clear of cancer, I will advise you to contact Dr Itua Herbal Center On Email...drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com.
