What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
What I enjoy most about tutoring is the opportunity to help others gain confidence in their learning and witness their progress over time. There is something incredibly rewarding about seeing a student go from struggling with a concept to having that "aha" moment when everything clicks. I also enjoy the challenge of adapting my explanations to different learning styles, making complex ideas more approachable and engaging. Beyond academics, tutoring allows me to build meaningful connections and support students in developing problem-solving skills that extend beyond the classroom.
My Strengths as Tutor 💪
As a tutor, my strengths lie in my ability to break down complex concepts into clear, manageable parts and adapt my teaching style to suit different learning needs. I am patient and approachable, creating a supportive environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes as part of the learning process. My strong communication skills help me explain difficult topics in a way that is both engaging and easy to understand. Additionally, I am highly organised and attentive, ensuring that each session is structured and productive.
Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
I believe the most important things a tutor can do for a student are to build their confidence, adapt to their learning style, and create a supportive environment where they feel comfortable asking questions. A tutor should not only help students understand the material but also teach them how to approach problems independently, developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Encouraging a growth mindset, where mistakes are seen as learning opportunities, is essential in helping students stay motivated and resilient.

I am a dedicated and passionate tutor committed to helping students strengthen their understanding and achieve academic success. Currently pursuing a double degree in Law and Commerce at ANU, I have developed strong analytical and problem-solving skills that I incorporate into my tutoring approach. I emphasise effective study techniques, including Talking Aloud, Backchecking, and Memory Pegs, to reinforce learning and minimise errors. My goal is to create a supportive and engaging environment where students gain confidence, improve their retention, and develop lifelong learning skills. Whether tackling complex concepts or refining study strategies, I strive to help students reach their full potential.

While mentoring peers in group projects and guiding younger students in extra-curricular activities, she learned how to break down difficult topics into manageable steps, ensuring that students feel confident as they progress.

Sarah’s extensive involvement in competitive Latin American dancing has instilled discipline, patience, and resilience—qualities she integrates into her tutoring style. She uses engaging strategies inspired by her dance training to help students stay motivated and organised.
