Verified Tutor
What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
I have never formally tutored before, but I believe that I would really enjoy helping students feel less stressed about school by making learning a more easy and enjoyable experience. I would love to see students grow more confident in their understanding of a complex concept or problem that they may have been confused about prior to tutoring.My Strengths as Tutor 💪
As a tutor, I think my strengths would be my enthusiasm, dedication and empathy. I am confident that students will feel comfortable asking me as many questions as they like, as I will consistently do my best to explain anything that they may feel confused about in a patient and relaxed manner.Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
I believe the most important things a tutor can do for a student is create a comfortable learning environment where the student feels able to voice any confusion they may have without feeling silly or embarrassed. I also consider it vital that a tutor takes the time to ensure their teaching is well thought out and clear, so students don't end up feeling more confused.Tutoring students in 👦 👧

Aleah has a really great attitude when approaching trickier questions, and was able to quickly pick up from where we left off last year in terms of remembering formulas and using them correctly.
At times, Aleah is unsure how to start the working out for a question. Despite having the necessary skills and knowledge, she often needs prompting as to where to begin. It is important that Aleah continues to practice trickier questions in order to grow her confidence.

It is important that Dylan continues to work on his times tables, as it is likely he may not be using a calculator for the first few terms of high school, and he may struggle to keep up without having them memorised.

It's important that Dylan practices multiplication repeatedly so he is able to do his times tables efficiently in an exam setting - during today's session he did a really good job of staying focused even when I'm sure he may have found the questions a little boring. Dylan is improving in his ability to know times tables off the top of his head, and he is no longer getting mixed up between his 1 times tables and his 0 times tables.
Although he is improving, Dylan occasionally still counts out his times tables on his fingers, which can take a lot of time and cause him to become confused and lose track of numbers. It is important that Dylan practices reciting his times tables as much as possible, to ensure that he can solve multiplication problems involving single digit numbers from memory.

Dylan had no issue remembering the content we covered before the Christmas break. Dylan has very quickly mastered questions involving fractions, and had little difficulty in answering questions at a high school level. He is also becoming significantly better at formatting his work in a neat and organised manner.
Dylan often still needs to be prompted to write down his working, instead trying to do it in his head which can lead to confusion and losing track of numbers. However, he is visibly making an effort to write down whenever he remembers, and should be proud of himself for his hard work. Although there are some areas of maths that Dylan understands at quite an advanced level, it is important that he refines his basic skills, such as times tables, long division and algorithms before starting High School.
