What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
I find tutoring immensely fulfilling in a way that a student has a moment of grasp of a difficult concept, is allowed to make mistakes and learn which overall boosts their belief and confidence in their abilities.
My Strengths as Tutor 💪
I’m especially strong at breaking complex content into small, practical steps so students can fully understand it instead of simply memorising or cramming. I like to connect each step to real examples or simple exercises, so they build confidence as they go and see how each piece fits together. This way, the learning sticks long-term and they can apply the concept in different situations.
Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
I think the most important thing a tutor can do is make a student feel heard and valued. Giving them full attention and creating a space where they feel comfortable enough to ask questions and even make mistakes allows real learning to happen. I focus on building a personal connection so they trust the process, while also guiding them to reflect, problem-solve, and grow independent in their thinking. Beyond developing academic skills and confidence, I want them to leave each session better prepared to handle challenges and make thoughtful decisions on their own.

Amelie demonstrated good understanding of the concepts and solved problems methodically, clearly showing her working and applying correct operations to reach accurate answers.
The main area for improvement is identifying which strategy to use when factorising expressions and simplifying through cancelling. This can be strengthened through regular review of varied practice questions and by memorising and applying a factorisation recognition cheat sheet to build speed and confidence.

Amelie demonstrated a strong understanding of the key concepts and approached problems in a clear, step-by-step manner. She showed good problem-solving skills by carefully setting out her working and applying the correct operations, which helped her arrive at accurate solutions. Her structured approach reflects growing confidence in working with algebraic expressions.
Amelie can successfully factorise once the correct method is identified; however, she would benefit from further practice in recognising which factorising strategy to use for different types of questions. Continued exposure to a variety of problems and guided support in choosing appropriate strategies will help strengthen this skill.

Amelie demonstrated commendable progress during the session. She approached each question with confidence and was able to efficiently solve problems using a variety of methods. Her speed and accuracy have both improved, and she showed a strong grasp of the core concepts being assessed. Even when unsure of the initial method to use, she used logical reasoning and alternative strategies to arrive at correct solutions. Her willingness to attempt different approaches reflects growing versatility in her problem-solving skills.
The primary area for improvement lies in Amelie’s ability to identify the most suitable method when first approaching a question. While she eventually reached accurate answers, she occasionally hesitated when deciding which strategy to use and would benefit from further practice in recognising patterns and selecting the most efficient approach. Continued exposure to a wider range of question types and consistent revision of key techniques will help build her confidence and streamline her decision-making process.
Amelie showed amazing understanding of concepts underlying factorisation of equations and performed well in solving of questions.

Amelie needs to improve on visualisation when solving application questions and focus on how signs work when factorising.
