What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
What I enjoy most about tutoring is helping students make that breakthrough and finally understand everything. Now, they can solve all those types of problems, seeing the simplicity behind the challenges. There's nothing to be scared of; it is easy and fun once you get it. Now, they will enjoy doing these types of problems.
My Strengths as Tutor 💪
As for my strengths as a tutor, I am enthusiastic and passionate about what I teach. I am pursuing a math degree and love math and problem-solving. I also understand first-hand how unpleasant math problems can be, but after years of studying maths, I've learned how fun it can be once you grasp it. Looking back at old questions, I can now see clearly what they are asking us to do. My biggest strength is that I can convey and transfer this enthusiasm and mindset to the students.
Additionally, I have a strong expertise in mathematics; I am skilled, knowledgeable, and an expert in the subject.
Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
Regarding the most important things a tutor can do for a student, I believe enthusiasm and expertise are crucial. Having had tutors and teachers for most of my life, I've learned that the teacher plays a vital role in the learning process. If the teacher is passionate and engaging about what they teach, it makes the subject genuinely interesting. I think passion, guided by the right knowledge and steps, is a foolproof plan to achieve the highest marks.

Once it clicks for him, he moves through the problem smoothly. He did a topic test recently, so we’ll have to see how that went next lesson back. For his last Maths Pathways test, although he scored lower than his usual, he still scored highly.
He didn't complete all the modules for the last topic. As such, he scored lower in his Maths Pathways test. He said he had quite a few other assessments in his other classes. I’ll have to keep an eye out during his busy periods, because he's fine otherwise. Julian seemed a bit distracted this lesson and was more prone to making mistakes. He also seems to be weaker at this topic (coordinates), so I think I'll have to take some time in a lesson to make sure he fully understands everything. We will have to revisit gradients because he struggled with harder questions, which means he doesn’t fully understand the intuition behind gradients.

He did very well on his school test last Wednesday, which is great. As always, he's quite quick to catch on to things. I go through a few methods, and he picks the one that works best for him. When going through past topics, he was able to quickly remember how they worked. Julian also seems more comfortable in our lessons, which is really nice to see. He asks questions and doesn't have any problems speaking up when he's stuck or doesn't understand something.
He was a bit more prone to making mistakes this lesson. I'll do a bit more on linear relationships next time, just to make sure everything’s fine. Apart from the silly mistakes, there may have been some misunderstandings of the concepts, so I want to clear that up properly. But overall, I'm quite happy with how we finished the lesson.
Julian did very well. He had his method of multiplying both numbers together and then dividing by 100 (e.g. 20% of 50 = 20x50 ÷ 100 = 10). He was very comfortable ...
Julian did very well. He had his method of multiplying both numbers together and then dividing by 100 (e.g. 20% of 50 = 20x50 ÷ 100 = 10). He was very comfortable with this method and didn't falter even with harder word problems. He seems to have a good understanding of what the question is asking and able to apply appropriately. He learns quickly and is able to apply taught methods immediately.
He was a bit prone to making a few 'silly mistakes' here and there, with adding/removing a zero to his final answer. I taught him to do rough mental estimates and this seemed to resolve this issue. In the near future, I want him to progress to dividing by 100 quicker by just moving the decimal point. I think he just needs more practice (familiarity) with this and he will be fine.
His mental math skills are very good. He can very quickly and accurately calculate multiplications/divisions. He learns quickly and is able to answer questions ...
His mental math skills are very good. He can very quickly and accurately calculate multiplications/divisions. He learns quickly and is able to answer questions after going through a couple examples together. Seems very comfortable with numbers and has a very good understanding of the number line.
We went through a variety of questions (e.g. h - 5 = -10) so he just needs more practice to get it down pat. I'm very happy and impressed with his work. He doesn't have any problems with his questions from class so we often try to focus on harder questions. I go through a few methods and see which one clicks with him the most. My only concern might be that he finds it hard to remember how to do questions from a few weeks ago (e.g. percentages). I think this is quite normal though, but I'll keep an eye out to make sure he's retaining the knowledge. I think it'll be fine because he'll go through revisions and refresh his memory on everything before his big tests that'll cover all topics. I might start throwing in past questions in his homework to keep the topic active and reinforce it.
