What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
Seeing students grow is what I enjoy most about tutoring. I have seen students who initially said they hated English, but only two months after I taught them, they started learning on their own free time and asked me questions. I strongly believe the students' ability to learn and absorb knowledge when they have the right teacher to learn from.My Strengths as Tutor 💪
My strengths are empathy. I used to have poor skills and knowledge in math, struggling to pass. However, during my high school years, my friend taught me well, and I managed to score 100% on the test. Being a student learning English in Japan, I also found it difficult to learn English at one point. I learned a great deal from her tutoring and my own journey to learn English independently, and I would love to pass those skills on to my students, showing empathy for them when they struggle.Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
I believe the most important thing a tutor can do is to understand each student. Each student faces different academic struggles, at varying levels. It is crucial for tutors to sense the students' needs, listen to them, and tailor their tutoring style to enhance students' learning ability.Tutoring students in 👦 👧

About Sarah
About me
I am a university student majoring in Marine Science at The University of Western Australia. I have always had a strong passion towards saving sharks and doing my research in the field, and I am so grateful that I am following that path. My favourite shark species is the Scalloped Hammerhead sharks!! A field of Marine Science requires you to have so many different skills, including diving, mathematics, physics, biology, and geology. It is very interesting to know how climate and the earth's activity have shaped the earth we live in now, and how it is going to change due to human activities. I like reading fantasy books, going snorkelling, and hanging out by the beach with my friends in my free time. I am so excited to meet many future bright minds!!
My love towards math
I used to get really bad grades in math, struggling to "get" the question right. I felt like I will never score high when I was in high school. I was ashamed to ask questions to teachers at first because of how basic my question would appear to them. Then, I started reaching out one day, asking more questions to teachers. They were very supportive and enthusiastic to teach me, even if it was the smallest question. I started loving math from that day onward, starting to realize how fun and satisfying it is when I understand the question correctly. I always want to teach students who are struggling with their studies and want them to experience how much fun it is to learn new things. Math is a fascinating universal language which we can use to communicate with so many different people. Learning starts from asking questions, and I always love a student who builds up the courage to ask, and is keen to learn!!

It took him a little while to figure out the times table of 6 to 9. Might need some refreshment in that area.

She could do mental maths well for written questions, even for big numbers that go up to hundredths. She might be better at division than multiplication, from today's exercise.
Nothing major, we need to go through the steps of doing multiplication when multiplying bigger numbers together. Needs refreshment in the times table.
