What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
My experiences with both tutoring and being tutored have been some of the most life-changing and rewarding moments of my life. Before my empowerment through tutoring, I had always been hesitant around math, often concluding that “I am not good at math.” Yet, my experience changed my self-talk, instilling confidence and a love for math. Moreover, it inspired me to begin tutoring other students. My goal as a tutor is always to motivate students to overcome past difficulties with math subjects. Tutoring allowed me to work through students\' unique barriers to cultivate a lifelong love of learning.
My Strengths as Tutor 💪
As a tutor, I am a \"learner\" right alongside my students. I take time in my sessions to note learning styles, approaches to uncertainty, and the goals my students set for themselves. The dedication I put forth in understanding my students\' unique relationships with the subject and my motivation to craft a study plan with tailored strategies and feedback naturally instill confidence in my students. My experiences have provided me with a range of knowledge in customizing goal-driven study plans to accommodate all students on a case-by-case basis, including those with learning disabilities.
Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
To be a tutor that provides life-changing results, you must be a role model for the change you want to see in your students. It is most important that you take initiative in creating a study plan that suits your student. Your work ethic and willingness to understand your student\'s learning needs will reflect in their disposition to implement your strategies.The progress seen in the student is largely determined by the work the tutor is willing to put forward. If you, as a tutor, hold yourself accountable when seeking improvements, your student will do the same for you.

- Ayyash is a bright student. He understands much of the math terminology I use with him. He also is able to do work on his own after being taught. - Ayyash remembered some of my tips for answering reading questions from last week. - Ayyash took initiative in putting his math tips/rules learned during tutoring into his own words.
- There were some instances in which Ayyash wanted to continue to do mental math, which may at times result in the wrong answer. He should be encouraged to use pen-to-paper if not confident. - In the reading section, he answered questions similarly to how he did the week before. Ayyash should try to underline important parts of the text, read questions first, and remember to look back in the text for question answers. It seems this subject is more of a struggle for him than maths.

- Thaabit remembered the points we discussed during our last session about how to improve his writing. He also did show improvement in those areas. - Thaabit attempted all of the problems in the math assessment—he also agreed that he wanted to improve his math foundations rather than focusing on current classwork first.
- Thaabit did not complete his homework for last week due to not being able to find my email—this has been resolved this week. - In his writing, there are still instances of informality. We will work on this with more practice. - Thaabit should try to focus more on structure within his writing. I will provide him with a writing structure template to help him in this area. - Thaabit has many gaps in his arithmetic math knowledge. In order to work on this, we will work on lessons that may be a bit below his current math level. Trouble answering assessment questions were attributed to lack of mental triggers and rule dependency.
