What do I enjoy most about tutoring? π
I enjoy helping students understand concepts that they previously didn't and witnessing the joy on their faces as they realise that they now understand the concept.My Strengths as Tutor πͺ
I believe that my strength as a tutor is my ability to explain various complex terms in easy-to-understand language to the students as well as my persistence when facing difficult questions.Most important things I can do for a student π
One of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is build rapport with them and reassure them about their math concerns. This helps the tutor better understand the student's thinking and therefore reword themselves in a way that the student will better understand. I also believe that it is important for a tutor to first explain the concepts, demonstrate the concept with an example and then ask the students to try a question themselves, explaining their thought processes out loud. This makes the student more aware of the process and helps to identify incorrect thought processes.Tutoring students in π¦ π§

Time management needs to be focused on as we were not able to complete every question within the hour and that would lose him marks in a sac. Harris should ensure that he does not show unecessary working out and can identify when a question needs a full sentence answer like "interpret the slope" vs "identify the slope".

Amalia needed a refresher on statistics for her sac, but quickly grasped the basics and was able to identify different types of variables, could prove whether a number was an outlier and could identify whether data displays were positively or negatively skewed.
Amalia needs to improve on her CAS skills, remembering shortcuts and which page to go to for different types of questions. She needs to practice showing all working out that is needed. Amalia should practice identifying the mean, q1 and q3 in stem and leaf plots, dot plots and knowing whether the mean or median is a better of centre.

Harris needs to improve on showing his working out, but specifically what the question is asking for, not providing the lower fence outlier equation when it only asks for the upper fence outlier. Entering data quick and correctly into CAS Harris needs to improve his handwriting as the examiners may not be able tob read it, especially numbers that may look like other incorrect numbers.
Harris is showing his working out well Harris got majority of the questions correct, only getting 2 wrong.

Being quick to answer questions, however that will improve over time and for now the main focus is getting the correct answers and showing all working out Harris needs to improve on ackowledging what the question is asking him and answering that, as missing important parts such as "round to one decimal place", "round to the nearest thousand" and the x variable being log10(x) can majorly impact his answers and scores. Remembering to include to units, whether its km, cm or people. Idenitifyinbg the dependent vs independent variable. Entering data quick and correctly into CAS as he can often miss a number or a decimal place.
