What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
The satisfaction that you get when you have helped someone to understand a concept or theory that they previously did not! Tutoring is very rewarding and I believe you easily get a lot out of it when you put the effort in.My Strengths as Tutor 💪
I have very strong communication skills and have constantly proved to be able to build a rapport with students of all ages - I am very approachable and reliable. I also am proud of the fact that I am thorough and diligent with my work which I think is a value that is passed on to the student.Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
To get them engaged and interested in a subject or topic. Although it is good to just teach the student how to pass the exam, I believe that by truly engaging and motivating a student they will get the most reward and the best results from their work.Subjects Tutored 🎓

I would like to see Nicholas work through his answers in detail and show his working. Further practise is also needed for him to easily recall these techniques - prompts currently needed.
Nicholas was quite happy about his test performance, despite it being a challenging test. He mentions he is also comfortable with Pythagoras and related concepts.

We are still focussing on his algebra and algebraic manipulation skills, as a weak area. Nicholas was able to slowly recall the key concepts in algebraic equations, but was still very distracted during the lesson. I have set homework to challenge him with a practise question in this area.
Homework was a great attempt, and we reviewed the topic for a confidence boost ahead of Nicholas's test

Algebra is still not his strongest topic, and we will continue to focus on this.
Nicholas' homework question was executed perfectly!

Further work to be done on quadratic equations (more challenging) in this topic, ahead of the exam.
