What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
I enjoy helping students achieve their dreams! Seeing improvement over time and students gaining independence is enough of a reward for me.My Strengths as Tutor 💪
Academically, I achieved an E4 band for both Mathematics Ext. 1 and 2 and an overall ATAR of 98.25, but being strong in mathematics wasn't always the case for me! It was only through good guidance that I could understand maths and feel motivated to practice to get to where I am. Beyond academic skills, I'm able to cater my teaching to different learning styles and simplify complex theory in a digestible manner. Otherwise, I am patient and have strong interpersonal skills that allow me to connect with students on a deeper level.Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
Every student has the capacity to achieve academic success, and the key to that is gaining confidence in their skills which can only happen through understanding and patience. Tutors should also be available for guidance and emotional support as school is a difficult period in anyone's life.Tutoring students in 👦 👧

He was interested in a math textbook that I showed him and wanted to do the questions in his own time.

Was extremally disruptive today - disturbing other people and not paying attention at all. This resulted in a very slow lesson with minimal work being done.
Understood place values and how to format column additions towards the end of the hour.

Still has trouble focusing and paying attention but has gotten better.
Could understand place values and start doing missing place value questions independently.

Paying attention to the methods of addition I'm teaching instead of going ahead in questions without working out.
He's more conscious of the careless mistakes he makes - I can see that he double checks his answers more often. Can solve basic addition with more ease.

He will still make errors with calculations but this will improve with further practice.
