What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
I most look forward to helping students grow to understand the content they are learning.My Strengths as Tutor 💪
I am in my third year of my education degree, and I have developed sound knowledge of the common misconceptions students develop in learning and the best strategies for addressing these misconceptions. I have strengths in empathy and listening to others, as well as great communication skills. This will be useful in providing students explanations of topics in a way that clicks with them.Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
Tutors must be able to listen to their student's learning needs in order to be able to fully recognise what they must do to help their students with their learning. All student's have the ability to do as well as the can in school when educator's listen to them and give them the best tools to motivate them to learn.Subjects Tutored 🎓

Ruby displayed a good understanding of how to rearrange equations to change their subjects in today’s lesson. She can use her equation solving and factorising skills to change the subject of equations that have more than one parameter. Ruby excelled at identifying the first thing she can alter to rearrange a complex equation. Ruby also has a good understanding of inequalities and how their graphs and equations relate, knowing when to fill in the dot and what way the arrow should face in inequality graphs.
Many equations can be rearranged using a variety of pathways, so I encourage Ruby to explore different methods or routes to see how they work in rearranging more complex equations.

Ivy displayed a better conceptual understanding of how to calculate the area, surface area and volume of shapes and prisms in today’s lesson. She has improved in being able to find the area of squares and rectangles. She can use her understanding of solving equations to find the length of a rectangle or square when given the shape’s perimeter or area. Ivy understands that to find the volume of any prism, she just needs to find the area of the front face and multiply this by the depth of the prism. She can also apply this idea to find the volume of a cylinder.
Next term, we will continue to work on improving Ivy’s ability to quickly recall area formulas. We will also work on her times tables.

It was good to see today that Ruby was able to solve more complex trigonometric problems that she was stuck on last week. Ruby is able to find exact ratios of specified trigonometric functions of angles given another ratio e.g. she can find sin(x) when given cos(x) and tan(x). She understands the unit circle well and can convert between the trigonometric function of an obtuse and acute angle whilst correctly incorporating a negative symbol for the cosine and tangent functions of an obtuse angle.
I encourage Ruby to become more comfortable working with the exact values of sine, cosine and tangent functions of the degrees 0, 30, 45, 60 and 90.

Lewis's conceptual understanding of interest has greatly improved since we last visited the topic. He is more comfortable calculating compound interest with a variety of parameters. Lewis did well in the lesson in applying understanding of compound interest to questions that were not very straight-forward. Lewis can rearrange equations to change the subject well using his skills in solving equations.
Lewis can use some more practice in more complicated compound interest questions that require adaptations of time units and calculations of rates or principal amounts instead of just interest.
