What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
The most enjoyable aspect about tutoring would probably be leading others through their academic plateaus, and seeing a student's "aha" moment as they finally understand a question or master a concept. It's a fulfilling feeling to see students improve in their studies and self-confidence by sharing your knowledge.My Strengths as Tutor 💪
I pride myself in communicating my ideas well and adapt flexibly to the needs of different individuals. Being a past student mentor and guiding struggling primary school students through coursework. I am able to succinctly vocalise ideas and accomodate teaching style to suit different students. Also having schooling experience in 4 units of math and units of english, I possess a fortified understanding of junior K-6 concepts and senior year 7-10 content. This allows me to offer proper and accurate guidance for students.Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
The most important thing a tutor could probably do is to make the process of learning an enjoyable experience, and engaging the student constantly to form their own thoughts and ideas. A positive mindset to learning is the pivot to academic progress, and without enjoyment students will reach a mental plateau. High engagement with students also encourage a proactive approach towards learning which allows students to understand content faster.Tutoring students in 👦 👧

Since student favours math more, she displayed more curiosity and involvement with the math component of the lesson. Student learnt the difference between an independent and dependent event and was able to voice different examples of each. Again, student excels at inferring conclusions from numerical and visual data representations alike - and her mathematical reasoning has improved. In the English component, student can identify the basic techniques like alliteration and onomatopoeia, and assign adjectives that depict mood/imagery of the piece. Overall, her English comprehension and understanding of grade level text types make her on par with syllabus requirements, yet more work needs to be done structuring and writing texts such as logical pacing and grammatically correct sentences.
Student slacked off in the English component of the lesson more, but managed to distinguish the differences between a persuasive, informative and imaginative text. Student is furthermore encouraged to write down her answers alongside voicing them, in order to organise her thoughts coherently and draft an improved response.

Student was attentive throughout class and gave an earnest attempt with analysing higher order worded questions. She displays sound financial logic in hypothetical budgeting scenarios. Furthermore, she displayed thorough understanding of fraction-decimal conversions, executing the method efficiently in lesson. In particular, student excels at mental time conversions, and mastered multiplication/division with powers of 10, allowing ease with weight/volume conversions. Overall, student is adequately familiar with the year 4 syllabus content, although topics such as algebra, harder fraction worded questions, and graph constructions can be revised further.
Also she’s skilled at hour-minute-second conversions, there’s unfamiliarity concerning ampm - military time calculation. Student was given some nifty rules to guide her in such problems. Again, it is good for student to check her answers by rewriting working, to decrease dependence on the teacher.

Student went well with the probability worksheet and was introduced to the idea of a permutation - sometimes event are different when the order of the event is switched. Student also introduced to experimental vs theoretical data. Student was largely successful in calculating equivalent fractions and can perform the step-by-step conversion of fractions into decimals with simpler values. Additionally, student was reminded that fractions are a representation of division, and used that knowledge to divide various integers by multiples of 10 to get decimals. Student had to have assistance with problem solving worksheet but still understood baseline process or fraction-decimal conversions.
Student did predominantly well in these lesson topics. Although she likes to calculate problems in her head, accuracy shouldn't be compromised and student should check her answers by solving on paper to be sure.

Student could apply area formulas flexibly to different shapes, and recognises the lengths that are relevant to the equation. Moreover, student displayed thorough understanding of decimal representation/values and understood to move the decimal point left or right based on the multiplication/division sign. At the end, student completed all probability questions with little trouble.
Student struggled slightly more with probability than the other two subjects: had some vague responses for 'explain' questions and sometimes fails to link probability to likelihood of event.
