What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
As a tutor, I enjoy helping students build their confidence to tackle problems that they may initially find intimidating. It is truly a rewarding experience to help them realise that they are capable of achieving their academic goals.My Strengths as Tutor 💪
My strengths lie in providing personalized explanations and adapting my teaching skills to the student's learning style. I also have experience in developing resources and fun activities that help to reinforce the concepts that my students may find challenging.Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
I feel that the most important skill for a tutor is creating and maintaining an environment that allows a student to feel comfortable with verbalizing their thoughts and questions during tutoring sessions. In addition, it is also important for a tutor to be able to share feedback with a student or their parent(s) in a tactful manner. It is also equally important for a tutor to be able receive feedback on their teaching skills to ensure that they are providing the most effective and supportive learning experience for the student.Tutoring students in 👦 👧

Sienna had some difficulty recalling earlier topics, but she approached the revision with determination and was able to work through them with support. With ongoing practice, her confidence in connecting past and new concepts will continue to grow.
Sienna needs to continue practising the factorisation of quadratic expressions, particularly identifying pairs of numbers that multiply and add to the required values. With more repetition, she will become quicker and more confident in choosing the correct factors.

Sienna worked on trigonometry, focusing on understanding and applying basic ratios. She also continued revising measurement related questions, gradually improving her accuracy.
Sienna needs to review the trigonometry table and practice working without a calculator. Regular practice will help her build confidence and apply the concepts more independently.
Great work, Sienna! You know which formula to use for each problem, which shows good recall.
Great work, Sienna! You know which formula to use for each problem, which shows good recall.
When finding the area and volume of different shapes, try to relate the formula to what you already know about numbers and shapes. For example, in the area of a triangle formula (½ × base × height), the ½ shows that a triangle is half of a rectangle with the same base and height. Thinking about formulas this way helps you understand and remember them.
