What do I enjoy most about tutoring? π
I like watching students understand the material, like having a revelation when they finally know how to solve a question so I would like to help them accomplish that.My Strengths as Tutor πͺ
I like to teach in fun ways so hopefully that will engage the student and encourage them more.Most important things I can do for a student π
I think the most important things for a tutor to do is to make sure the student understands how to do the question, and not just give them the answer or formula. It is essential for them to utilise all the skills and I want to foster the ability to identify which methods are required for each question.Subjects Tutored π

Aura's visualisation skills allows her to pick up geometry and models quickly, she understood compass directions and could explain her thought process confidently regarding shapes.
3D models regarding perspective from different sides prove to be quite difficult but that is expected, that was a hard question. Will work on that later along with area, surface area and volume.
She understands how to find volume if it is counting each individual cube in a 3D model which is good, provides a good basis for finding volume. Aura's compass ...
She understands how to find volume if it is counting each individual cube in a 3D model which is good, provides a good basis for finding volume. Aura's compass directions are good as well, just need to work on maps when they ask for the roads on the left/right.
Think Aura has to try memorising or inherently knowing certain values that are halves/quarters in fractions and decimals as that will help her a lot more in doing maths. Will need a lot more practice with division as well, and learning how to do multiplication with numbers that have more than 1 digit.

Aura actively looks for solutions when the answer doesn't look correct, has improved a lot with Numeracy. She picks up on concepts such as geometry quickly and can visualise scenarios pretty well. Her Writing has good substance, fitting the stimulus of a persuasive text.
Still struggles a bit with fractions and decimals, as well as division generally. Concerned about measurements as she needs to practice standard units of measurement like how 1000ml is a litre.
Mia's short story had an interesting concept, it was quite creative. She understands how to find the median, mode and range of a data set.

For writing, contractions that require apostrophes as well as capitalisation on the start of sentences and proper nouns needs work, as well as needing to increase the application of commas and full stops. Will probably need more exposure to stem-and-leaf plots as well as statistics to solidify knowledge.
