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.

Even if the math itself isn’t very different from what we had just done, Crystal can sometimes struggle with applying it to written situations, so we might need to practice breaking up the questions more.
Crystal showed that she had remembered a lot from class and the previous lessons, and was able to apply this knowledge to the sector questions.

Despite only needing to use the calculator to answer the questions, she was quite hesitant to type the equation in, which meant the first few questions took a while to get through.
Despite not doing much on planes in class yet, she was able to grasp the concept quite quickly. We only touched the surface, but she did really well.

I had reminded her a few times to bring her textbook, but she forgot, which limited the content we could get through. She should work on setting goals and reminders for herself.
