Description of tutoring experience

I've worked overtime at a Montessori school that had a aftercare facility, this included helping with homework assistance, one of the methods I used to help a learner solve a math problem, I created a scavenger hunt where the learner had to solve math problems to find hidden clues. The key to this activity was to make the learning experience interactive and hands-on, so the learner can have fun while absorbing the knowledge. 👩🏼‍🏫📚
