What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
One of the things I really enjoy about tutoring is searching for various methods to teach a concept to a student. Each person visualises, understands and absorbs information differently, and often the differentiating factor between a suitable and unsuitable tutor for a certain student is whether the tutor is able to explain things in a way that particular student can grasp. For me, the search to find the optimum explanation for each individual is stimulating and seeing the moment a student grasps a concept that has been difficult for them to understand till then, is extremely rewarding.My Strengths as Tutor 💪
My strengths as a tutor is my ability to understand and accept what the students’ concerns are, and the emphasis I have on teaching ‘why’ and not just ‘how’. Being a student, I understand how it feels to have a very important question but hesitating to ask the tutor because it feels ‘dumb’ to ask. As a tutor I am very conscious of how I make students feel and ensure that they feel free to ask me anything . Furthermore, I believe it is vital to know why something is being done, as this is what encourages problem solving and critical thinking when questions shift to application type questions.Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
As a tutor, I believe it is crucial to understand the exact knowledge gap a student may have and helping them by clarifying the root of their doubt. I did Methods and Specialist ATAR, and the roots of my doubts went to the basics - I think the fundamental area to work on for success is proficiency in the basics, which ensures any advancement from that can be tackled by the student, and this is also why I want to tutor year 7 - 10 students. Another crucial aspect I believe is make sure a tutor is not robotic, and approaches each student as a different individual with different needs.Subjects Tutored 🎓

Piper understood the concepts very well and was able to list probabilities accurately. She could explain her reasoning clearly and showed that she was following the steps confidently. It was great to see her engage with the new topic so easily.
We didn’t cover the harder, application-style probability questions this time, so she will need practice with those in future lessons. Continuing to work on applying probability to different scenarios will help her feel fully confident with the topic.

By the end of the lesson, Piper was very consistent with the questions she got right and showed strong understanding throughout. She particularly grasped the method for converting between mixed and improper fractions, applying it accurately and confidently. It was great to see her approach the questions with focus and determination.
Piper had a little difficulty remembering some of the methods at the start of the lesson, which is completely normal after a few weeks without practice. A bit of intermittent revision will help keep these skills fresh and make her even more confident. Continuing to reinforce the conversions and operations will ensure she can handle any question smoothly.
