What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
I enjoy seeing students gain independence and confidence in their abilities to solve any challenges they encounter. I also enjoy seeing students who have previously disliked a subject or topic begin to enjoy studying and actively engage with the material during tutoring sessions.My Strengths as Tutor 💪
Across both my previous tutoring experience and time spent as a high school and university student I have been exposed to a multitude of teaching methods that I can used to best support a students learning style. I am a very adaptable tutor and am able to easily shift my focuses, examples and vocabulary to ensure that the content is understandable at their level.Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
As a tutor the most important thing I can do to support a students development and progression is to provide an open and encouraging environment. By doing this, I am providing a space where students can be honest about their challenges and feel comfortable asking for help rather than feeling embarrassed to acknowledge when they are struggling to understand a concept.Subjects Tutored 🎓

For the few questions covered, Ellaina showed a solid understanding on the concepts and was able to order/compare fractions of different sizes. She was also able to simplify fractions without prompting.
Today's session was cut short as Ellaina was having a bad day and was unable to concentrate fully.

Sarina demonstrated a strong understanding of the features of a box plot and has become very capable of answering questions regarding the five statistics (e.g., mean, median, mode, and range) for any set of data. Her understanding of probability has improved greatly in the last few weeks and I can see her confidence improving.
The one challenge I have noticed Sarina has in this topic is her memorisation of the required formulas and equations that she may be expected to know by heart for this assessment. We reviewed all the required formulas today, which should help her in her final preparations for this test.

Ellaina has showed a great improvement in her whole number operations and is starting to sit close to a year 6 level across the board. She was able to answer all but two of the more challenging questions in the year 6 topic test. Ellaina did well at identifying the similes and metaphors in sets of sentences.
Ellaina is still struggling with complex multiplication or division with remainders and she tends to either guess her answers or try to avoid the questions all together. Next week we will focus solely on her multiplication and division. It seems like the area that needs the most focus for Ellaina in English is spelling and writing. Particularly focusing on generating complex sentences.

Sarina has shown a good understanding of how to pull information from two-way tables and Venn diagrams to answer various questions. Despite today being the first session focused on probability notation, Sarina has demonstrated a strong foundational understanding that we will continue to build upon.
Sarina's main challenge with most of the questions we covered was that she tended not to read the question fully, and as a result, would not answer it in the correct format. In previous sessions, I have focused on encouraging her to show all her work and double-check that she is answering the question, which I will continue to mention during future sessions. Sarina has also mentioned that her main struggles are with conditional, independent, and dependent probability calculations, as well as tree diagrams, which we will continue to work on in our next session.
