What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
What I enjoy most about tutoring is the sense of fulfillment it gives me. Being able to share the knowledge and skills I've developed through high school and university, and seeing that make a real difference in someone else’s learning, is incredibly rewarding. I love helping students build confidence and realise their potential, both academically and beyond.My Strengths as Tutor 💪
My biggest strength would be my ability to listen to the student. I believe it's important to be able to integrate the methods they're taught in class into my tutoring - not just confuse them more. I also like to integrate tips and tricks I learned during my studies so they can skip those unnecessary learning curves and get the most out of their classes with me.Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
The most important thing a tutor can do is provide a judgment-free, open space where students feel comfortable asking any question - even those that may seem obvious. This not only builds a strong rapport with the student but also helps solidify their understanding.Subjects Tutored 🎓

Ameera did so well in identifying techniques. She remembered most of the techniques we went through from the previous lesson and was able to create some really good analysis sentences! She is already improving!
What we are still working on is her grammar, however, she has already improved a lot even from just a few lessons!
Ameera did really well today. We edited a lot of her assignment, and she completed the whole thing after the lesson!!

What needs improvement is her sentence structure. When I am with her, she is really good at this, but I think she just loses focus when she is on her own and doesn't push herself all the way. I know she knows what to do but just needs a bit more solo practice!

Ameera did really well today. Her ability to analyse visual images was quite good. With some help she was able to understand what techniques were used and their effect.
While Ameera did well today, we are still working towards her ability to articulate sentences in a more formal English setting. She is capable of writing paragraphs with some use of grammar. However, her vocabulary is lacking at times. I think that she is capable of adding these words into her writing, she just needs to build her confidence.
