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.

He had a better attitude compared to the lesson prior. He was willing to sit with me the whole lesson and not trying to avoid doing the work. He read a book about WWII this week, which he found interesting. In future we may do writing exercises about historical events to encourage him to be interested in what he is writing.
he refused to actually complete his creative writing task in full, using long character names to bypass actually doing the work.
She has shown improvement in her timetables. She recalled how to do long division and multiplication well. The only errors are in her timetables.

By the end of working on her homework she was better at understanding fractions. When working on her rostrum speech she was good at knowing what her goal of the lesson was and she managed her time well. She asked for help when she was stuck.
Further work on fractions is needed. She struggles to start working when she has a blank page, but she feels accomplished when she can see how far she has come. I would recommened that she learns some techniques like "page vomit" and proof-reading so she doesn't get too concerned about the end product with her first draft. Text-to-speech can also help with this to help write down her initial ideas. Her punctuation needs improvement, as she sometimes would use "." and "," interchangabley, but that may have been because it was her first draft.
He finished up his homework quickly. He was communicating what activities interested him. He stayed seated the whole lesson even when he got distracted.
He finished up his homework quickly. He was communicating what activities interested him. He stayed seated the whole lesson even when he got distracted.
He was tired and unethused to work with me today, which could be because he went after Olivia. He didn't put effort into his work, and when I would correct him he wouldn't be willing to learn what the right answer was, but just wanted to get the work done. Overall, his attitude today made it difficult to learn or have fun.
