What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
I love the idea of being able to help others find as much joy in learning as I did - it doesn't always have to be meaningless, repetitive questions and solutions. Not only can I spend more time doing something I love, but I can also build strong relationships with my students as they get closer and closer to their goals.My Strengths as Tutor 💪
Raised amongst teachers, I have been immersed in a learning environment my entire life, and it has led to me gaining a deep understanding of the ins and outs of education. When my skills in different subjects are paired with empathy, efficient communication, optimism, I believe I can make the tutoring experience both academically and psychologically beneficial for the student. I am an extremely patient person and can explain different concepts in a variety of different ways, as I know that studying does not come as easily to some as it does others.Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
The most important thing would be to teach a student that studying shouldn't be a chore, and that giving it their all matters more than receiving a perfect grade. I understand that each student is different, and that not every approach will work for an individual, so it is essential that their tutor knows how to adapt to their needs while still making it an enjoyable experience.Subjects Tutored 🎓

About Lily
A Little Bit About Me
My name is Lily, and I am an 18-year-old Year 12 graduate who is currently studying Advanced Psychology at university. I've always been an avid reader and have had a strong passion for learning, and I believe these are two factors that played a large role in me receiving an ATAR of 97.35 and a Merit in English Literature.
Hands-On Classroom Experience
Having spent considerable time assisting in classrooms, Lily has developed practical experience working directly with students, especially those needing extra support. She has volunteered at a primary school where she assisted children with various tasks, contributing significantly to their learning experiences. Her nurturing approach and ability to adapt to different learning needs make her an excellent mentor for young learners transitioning through challenging subjects like maths and English.
Strong Interpersonal Skills
Beyond her academic prowess, Lily possesses strong interpersonal skills honed through years of customer service experience in hospitality. This background enhances her ability to connect with students from diverse backgrounds, ensuring they feel comfortable and supported during their tutoring sessions. Her organisational skills and ability to work efficiently under pressure are assets that enable her to create structured yet flexible learning environments tailored to each student''s needs.

Crystal understood the task very well, and actually did significantly better than I did due to her ability to see the bigger picture.

I noticed no improvements needed during this lesson, although I would have liked it if she tried to incorporate some brackets into her solutions.
In regards to linear equations, she was able to pick up on the patterns and the way the equations relate to the graphs very quickly.

Crystal can never remember what she has been working on in class, so I am once again going to remind her to bring her textbook home for next week’s lesson so we can determine what she’s struggling with.

I broke each element down into small steps to help build up to the greater concept of factorisation, and I think she understood this pretty well. Once she did each step a few times, she could continue quite easily.
Crystal often struggles to remember the names of certain topics we do in lessons. We have done expanding brackets many times and, while she could remember how to do it, she needed a reminder on what I was asking her to do. The same occurs for ‘like terms’.

This lesson, Crystal did great at noticing her own mistakes and adapting her working out to account for these. If an equation wasn’t giving the right answer, she knew instantly what she needed to change.
She did struggle with thinking of equations, but I do believe she improved her skills nonetheless. She chose quite a large word, and most of the equations she wrote resulted in the correct letter.
