Verified Tutor
What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
I enjoy the problem solving aspect, and the teamwork that needs to go in so that someone can become better. I also enjoy the feeling of being able to help. I understand how it feels to surpass what I thought I could do thanks to the help of someone else, and I hope to instill that kind of confidence into those I tutor.My Strengths as Tutor 💪
I often find it easy to create constructive criticisms when looking at the work of others. I understand when providing feedback not to overwhelm who you are helping, but work on creating a strong foundation of their skills, and tend to their strengths. I am willing to learn with my student and be engaged with the learning even if they may not be.Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
I think communication with your student is important. As a tutor, you can not force a student to do things your way, so it's important to be able to compromise and help them with what they think is important so they don't lose interest in a subject, whether it is a struggling student or one that wants to excel. By involving them in the process you also help your students decision making and social skills.Subjects Tutored 🎓

About Io
My Academic Life
As a child I personally found myself struggling to stay enthusiastic about school, and did not excel at school in ways my friends did. Even though I felt I was struggling, I passed, and in high school I began to understand my studying difficulties and how to amend them. By the time I was in Year 10 I was part of the 10A Mathematics class and continued to get A's even in the classes increased difficulty. In college I did Specialist Methods Maths, along with English, Drama, Sociology, and Philosophy, where I competed in Ethics Olympiad and came 2nd nationally. I am now a first year student at University of Canberra studying a Bachelor in Built Environment Architecture and have found a new love for learning, doing classes like history and culture and professional orientation.
My Daily Life
I'm the only daughter in a family of 6, and I am the second youngest. I spend most of my time on my studies or spending time with my friends, and I occasionally pick up theatre performances, both for cast and crew. After graduating College and spending a gap year as a barista, saving up money for a year to then go to Europe in October for 6 weeks. I learnt many historical facts and life experience during my time within England, France, Spain, Italy, and Greece, and would love to travel again.

She was able to apply skills from some questions to others, showing some pattern recognition within questions. 100% her test with help on 2 questions (8 questions in total). Showed confidence in perimeters of a rectangle from the beginning of the exercise.
In future I highly suggest she studies an hour or two before attending a test to help recall equation formulas. Perhaps writing new formulas on a single sheet to reflect and see the difference on would be beneficial in future tests/years. She has stated that she feels like she is behind on her division skills at her new school, especially since the school states to have high math standards. Struggled to remember equations she hasn't recently worked on.

Began to understand contractions better and the rules of which each combination follow. He reflected on his habits on his own without me prompting and understands that he can do the work he's given but finds it easy to get sidetracked, especially in class where he wants to socialise. This showed great awareness from him and room for a willingness to change habits. He wanted to trace letters, but to balance it to his skill level suggested that he traces whole sentences - this showed compromising skills and an understand of his own abilities.
Has a tendency to leave without asking for permission and goes and does something else quickly, these occurrences were often to help him with his work though. Doesn't like to do as he is told even when given options, but wants to do his own thing which he knows will be easier. Not much work was completed this lesson but was used to understand his behaviours better - in future I will try to bring lots of options for him to choose from so that he can do something that keeps him engaged.
