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 did well to remember the work we did last term. She smashed through the work I had brought for her.

N/A, she did well today, only issue was she was running out of steam by the end of the lesson.
She understood the basics of her homework. She did well to complete multiplication and division questions, and only makes minor mistakes.

She seems to struggle in understandings that decimals make up a number and aren't just numbers next to eachother, and struggled to understand the different positions of numbers in a decimal (eg. 0.1, 0.01). After being given a formula to understand how to do the working out she was able to complete the questions but she still seemed hazy on what the exercise actually meant and how it was applicable.

His handwriting has improved - it is more consistent and he writes more fluently than he used to. He did well on the spelling bee, even though he wasn't confident on 50% of the words he got 10/15 correct. He seemed engaged in trying to get the words right and actually tried, even when he was trying to procrastinate the lesson.
His mood was better than last lesson, but he still didn't want to engage with the work and would try and talk his way out of doing the work. His confidence to read out loud has gone down since last semester.
He was willing to do the work despite his mood, and sit with me the whole lesson.

He had a bad attitude today, and didn't show any enthusiasm for any of his work, nor was he willing to negotiate something he would find interesting.
