Verified Tutor
What do I enjoy most about tutoring? ๐
Watching students become more confident of their own abilities and seeing them be proud of themselves and the work that they've put in to improve.My Strengths as Tutor ๐ช
I always try my best to figure out how someone best learns; I'm kind, I can empathise and see things from other peoples' perspectives; and when I'm confident in my own knowledge of a subject, I don't feel out of my depth trying to teach/tutor someone.Most important things I can do for a student ๐
I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to help them not only build the skills they need for the subject they're being tutored in, but also to build the skills to be confident of themselves within it as well. From my experience being tutored both in maths and for an instrument, that was something my tutors helped me with, which I am and always will be extremely appreciative of.Subjects Tutored ๐

Added and subtracted fractions with the same denominator easily - sometimes forgot to simplify but always converted improper fractions to mixed numerals correctly. Ordered positive and negative fractions with different numerators and denominators in ascending order correctly. Still quite quick at addition in his head, with decimals as well. Rounding decimals to one decimal place correctly. Usually pretty quick at correctly identifying numerical and visual patterns Calculated the perimeter of a 3d shape correctly.
Recalling rules - unsure of what to do when the denominators of two fractions were different and you had to add or subtract them. Needs to practice remembering rules for area and measurement as well. Needed some prompting for how to calculate the area and volume of a shape, but was pretty okay with doing it after that

Grouping like terms in algebraic equations, but he also hadn't been introduced to that concept before the lesson, I think he just needs more practice with it.
