What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
The feeling of being able to support students who have gone through the same process as me for school is very rewarding. Having recently made it through the QCAA system, I would love to be able to help other students going through the same.My Strengths as Tutor 💪
Being able explain a concept's real life applications. Also, as I'm doing mathematics in university, I will be confident tutoring high school mathematics (general, methods, and specialist) after a few months of revising the conceptsMost important things I can do for a student 🏅

Still catching up on fundamentals due to time away making it hard for her to attempt unfamiliar questions. In an exam, at least write something if you aren't sure so you still get part marks - even if its just a formula from the formula sheet.

Much improved understanding of radians as a unit - now understnads why 360 degrees is approximately 2 pi radians. also now better understands the relationship between the unit circle and exact triangles as well as how exact triangles are found
Using the unit circle or exact triangles to solve questions with trig ratios.
Huge improvement on using the unit circle since last week - can solve for x in a question involving trig ratios.

Just more general practise so these questions become second nature which will be very beneficial for harder trig questions.
- Feeling more confident with sketching graphs - Starting to retain key ideas for points on graph (i.e. x-int is where y=0).

- More practise with coming up with the formula for a given graph. - Better understand of the x and y values in a graph equation and how they can be used to find other information.
