What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
What I enjoy most about tutoring is the opportunity to help others succeed while enhancing my own understanding of the material. It allows me to apply and refine my teaching skills, directly supporting my studies in my teaching degree. The process of guiding students through challenges not only boosts their confidence but also deepens my passion for education.My Strengths as Tutor 💪
My strengths as a tutor lie in my ability to communicate complex concepts clearly and adapt to the individual needs of each student. I am patient, empathetic, and skilled at fostering a supportive learning environment, which helps build both understanding and confidence. Additionally, my commitment to continuous self-improvement enhances my ability to effectively engage students and tailor my approach to diverse learning styles.

The most important things a tutor can do for a student are to provide clear, tailored explanations, foster a positive and supportive learning environment, and build the student's confidence in their abilities. A tutor should also encourage critical thinking, promote independent learning, and adapt their approach to meet the student's unique needs, ensuring that progress is both meaningful and sustainable.Subjects Tutored 🎓

Step-by-step modelling of long division helped the student understand the process. Using a combination of discussion and practice tasks supported her growing confidence with reading analogue and digital clocks. The student was engaged and responsive, particularly during the time-telling activities.
Continued practice with long division will be beneficial to consolidate her understanding. Time-telling skills have improved, but further reinforcement, especially with 24-hour time, may still be helpful. As agreed with the student and client, this was our final session for the term. I confirmed that I will contact them with my available days for Term 1 once I receive my CRT timetable, as I have now completed my Bachelor of Education (Early Childhood and Primary).

The session ran smoothly and we completed all planned activities within the one hour block. The student was engaged and requested to continue focusing on English in the next lesson. The film study guide proved to be a valuable and helpful resource. We demonstrated resilience and problem-solving when faced with technical difficulties (printer issues).
Overall, I believe this was a good lesson. One area for improvement is for me to ensure that technical setup (printer, materials) is ready before the lesson to avoid delays. Next Steps: Continue focusing on English and test preparation in the next session, building on today’s progress. Also, send the Word document to the client for review and continued study.

Student was engaged during the first half of the film and followed along with the storyline. Majority of the important scenes were covered in this session. Clear plan established for structuring future sessions.
Student’s engagement dropped during the second half of the session, and I may need to include short breaks or interactive activities to maintain focus. Could include brief discussion or comprehension questions during/after viewing to deepen understanding and keep attention.

The session was productive and the student demonstrated engagement with the film and was able to identify key camera angle shots in the film. Establishing a digital channel for sharing materials (via email and the tutoring board) will enhance communication and resource accessibility. The preparation I undertook prior to the session, particularly watching the film in advance, proved valuable in scaffolding the learning experience. Next Steps: 1. Complete the remainder of Edward Scissorhands in the next session. 2. Confirm assessment requirements and expected outcomes with the student. 3. Begin deeper analysis of film themes, characterisation, and cinematographic techniques. 4. Transition to a split-structure session format after the film is completed: The first half devoted to English (film study) and the second half to Mathematics. 5. Upload film-related resources to the Ezy Maths Tutoring Interaction Board and share access with the student.
I began the session six minutes late, which is uncharacteristic of my usual practice and not reflective of professional standards. I acknowledge this lapse and sincerely apologise; I will ensure greater punctuality in all future sessions. Additionally, while the content coverage was satisfactory, next session I intend to clarify the exact parameters of the student’s summative assessment; specifically, whether it is confined to the film workbook activity or requires a broader analytical task. This will allow for more targeted and strategic lesson planning moving forward.
