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 continues to strengthen her ability of multiplication, division, and timestables, and shows minimal regression in between lessons. She was confident in her knowledge of negative numbers after clarifying one or two things.
N/A she did very well today and learnt recalled what she already knew very well - this really showed how confident she is getting.
She continues to strengthen her ability of multiplication, division, and timestables with minimal errors when repeating work she's done before.
She continues to strengthen her ability of multiplication, division, and timestables with minimal errors when repeating work she's done before.
She struggles with newer work because she over thinks it, so even though she knows the process to multiply she struggled to understand it because she believed that it would change due to the larger numbers.

She has retained how to multiply large numbers by eachother. She understood very quickly how to multiply 3 digits by 2 digits. She has retained most of the concepts we went over in 24 hour time last time we worked on it, such as reading an analog clock and converting back and forth from 24 hours
She struggles a lot with understanding how 24 hours and 12 hours are the same but written differently, or perhaps how time during the day works in 24 hours. Mainly she doesn't understand that 12AM = 00:00. Maybe she needs to experience more 24 hour clocks in her daily life to understand the conversion better, so that experience can teach her not just numbers, and since Chris has told me she has gotten better at understanding time just by reading it in her daily life.

Xander did well today and had a fantastic attitude. He was fair when playing games, and was happy to not do them all lesson. He finishes his story which was well written, with few spelling mistakes. He was willing to listen to feedback today and cared about how to improve. He did well in his spelling bee, recalling most words that had been on previous tests. His handwritting was also more refined than usual today - more legible than usual and a more consistant size.
N/A, he was a treat today and was enthusiatic to learn.
