I believe my strengths are varied. I am very patient and I do not try to rush the learning process, if concepts need to be revisited, I make sure that they get reviewed to ensure that they fully understand. I also know how to adapt my teaching to different students' learning styles. I also have great enthusiasm for the subjects I’m well-versed in, which motivates me and helps me create a more effective learning experience.Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
Providing clear explanations and encouraging confidence are very important when tutoring any student. I also believe encouraging students to think independently helps them better understand the material.Subjects Tutored 🎓

She tried her best with all the different topics, and it was good to check where she’s at with things we haven’t looked at for a while.
She tried her best with all the different topics, and it was good to check where she’s at with things we haven’t looked at for a while.
I realised there are still some really important basics she’s not fully confident with. For example, with square numbers like 4², she’ll do 4×2 instead of 4×4 quite a bit. And with percentages, she doesn’t seem to understand or have ever learnt what “percent” actually means (like out of 100). There are a few of these foundation skills she hasn’t properly learnt, and they’re liekly going to affect newer topics, especially with high school coming up next year. I spoke to you about this today, and I’m happy to put together a review booklet for the summer holidays that goes over the main concepts she needs more practice with, if you would like.
She worked well this week and stayed focused. She’s slowly getting quicker with some of the tables, which is good to see.

Still just needs regular practice to help her think through them a bit faster.
Another good session. She put in good effort and got through a decent amount of questions.

Same as before, the practice is helping, but she still needs to keep repeating the facts so they stick.
She did pretty well with the clocks and got most of them right when I tested her. She stayed focused and tried her best.

She got most of the clock questions right, but I can still tell she doesn’t fully understand how the clock works yet. She knows some parts, but the basics still trip her up a little. If you’re able to go over it at home, it might help to show her how the hands move and how each space between the numbers represents part of an hour, and how the whole clock represents the full hour...
