What do I enjoy most about tutoring? đ
One of the things I really enjoy about tutoring is searching for various methods to teach a concept to a student. Each person visualises, understands and absorbs information differently, and often the differentiating factor between a suitable and unsuitable tutor for a certain student is whether the tutor is able to explain things in a way that particular student can grasp. For me, the search to find the optimum explanation for each individual is stimulating and seeing the moment a student grasps a concept that has been difficult for them to understand till then, is extremely rewarding.My Strengths as Tutor đŞ
My strengths as a tutor is my ability to understand and accept what the studentsâ concerns are, and the emphasis I have on teaching âwhyâ and not just âhowâ. Being a student, I understand how it feels to have a very important question but hesitating to ask the tutor because it feels âdumbâ to ask. As a tutor I am very conscious of how I make students feel and ensure that they feel free to ask me anything . Furthermore, I believe it is vital to know why something is being done, as this is what encourages problem solving and critical thinking when questions shift to application type questions.Most important things I can do for a student đ
As a tutor, I believe it is crucial to understand the exact knowledge gap a student may have and helping them by clarifying the root of their doubt. I did Methods and Specialist ATAR, and the roots of my doubts went to the basics - I think the fundamental area to work on for success is proficiency in the basics, which ensures any advancement from that can be tackled by the student, and this is also why I want to tutor year 7 - 10 students. Another crucial aspect I believe is make sure a tutor is not robotic, and approaches each student as a different individual with different needs.Subjects Tutored đ

Piper's times tables recall is still significantly slowing her down when working with fractions. She often understands what she needs to do but then gets held up by the multiplication or division involved. Continuing to work on her times tables, particularly the 6-12 tables, is really important for her progress with new topics.

Piper was very good with the equivalent fraction questions and showed that she had retained what we covered in the previous lesson. Her understanding of the new content was also quite strong, and she understands why and when each method is used rather than just memorising the steps.
Her times tables are still the main thing holding her back. She made occasional mistakes with the fraction questions because she could not recall the multiplication facts quickly or accurately enough, which slows her down even when she understands the actual concept. At Year 7 level, students are expected to have a solid recall of their times tables, as new topics increasingly rely on these basic skills, so improving her times tables is particularly important.
Michaela is confident with the questions that involve finding the gradient from a given graph using the rise over run method.
Michaela is confident with the questions that involve finding the gradient from a given graph using the rise over run method.
Michaela struggles a little when doing questions that ask her to find the equation of a linear graph when given 2 points. This involved using the formula to find the gradient, and by the end of the lesson she was able to do those questions. We will be working more on solving equations in the upcoming weeks.
Lara's foundational knowledge about fractions, decimals and percentages is very good. It really helps her when she's presented with harder questions.
Lara's foundational knowledge about fractions, decimals and percentages is very good. It really helps her when she's presented with harder questions.
Lara tends to approach the questions with a harder method, we spent time going through what would be a better way to approach these questions and how that will save her time. We will also be working on harder application style questions next week.
