What do I enjoy most about tutoring? ๐
Watching students become more confident of their own abilities and seeing them be proud of themselves and the work that they've put in to improve.My Strengths as Tutor ๐ช
I always try my best to figure out how someone best learns; I'm kind, I can empathise and see things from other peoples' perspectives; and when I'm confident in my own knowledge of a subject, I don't feel out of my depth trying to teach/tutor someone.Most important things I can do for a student ๐
I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to help them not only build the skills they need for the subject they're being tutored in, but also to build the skills to be confident of themselves within it as well. From my experience being tutored both in maths and for an instrument, that was something my tutors helped me with, which I am and always will be extremely appreciative of.Subjects Tutored ๐

Correctly spelling words ending in '-ar', '-y', and '-ey'. Correctly filling in the blanks in sentences with the words always, alright, and said. Spacial awareness/positioning is good - reading instructions and correctly drawing them out. Uses addition to subtract correctly when asked to do that method. Good at breaking up 100s/10/1s.
Some mistakes with double letters, such as 1 l in valley and 2 in always, but once I pointed out that something doesn't look right she corrected both on her own. Struggles a little at spelling words out loud as she's writing them. Sometimes writes 'b', '6', and '9' backwards.

Correctly solved a subtraction word problem. Understanding basic likely/unlikely statistic concepts Took information from tally mark recordings and created an accurate column graph with no assistance. Correct usage of 'their' in a sentence.
Working on writing '5' the correct way around the first time instead of correcting it after, she got better at it as the lesson progressed. Counting up in increments - struggles past counting up in 2s. Still needs lots of reminding to spell out loud at the same time as tracing letters/words when the question asks for it - she tends to spell them out loud (correctly) after writing them out, but we're looking for the multitasking of it.
