Verified Tutor
What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
The idea behind helping somebody to understand something that they don't. The pure look of awe on their face when it finally clicks, and they feel confident in their abilities.My Strengths as Tutor 💪
My ability to adapt to learning styles. One student I am tutoring now is extremely visual, meaning she has to read questions and draw out answers on paper. I tend to steer away from verbal questions, and asking to do things mentally, and instead I provide working out paper and whiteboards to assist with a thinking process.Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
Establishing a personal relationship. Building this relationship can build the professional relationship too. Students wont be afraid to ask for help and are comfortable in saying they don't understand something.Tutoring students in 👦 👧

Tiffany is keen to do well in class, and was keen to have me take a look at questions she was struggling with. Tiffany picked up the basic rules and concepts of logarithms quickly, and will be able to snowball quickly with her learning.
Tiffany occasionally would veer off the topic of maths, but came back quickly when I reminded her.

Ryan was enthusiastic to see where he went wrong when seeing the results of his chapter summary quiz, and was quick to realise he made simple mistakes. Ryan showed an incredible amount of resilience, and will be stronger moving forward.
Ryan needs to trust himself more in his answers. He was finding answers correctly and efficiently, but was not confident in his answer when I asked him if he thought it was right. I will be sure of myself to build this confidence.
