What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
I love spreading my love and appreciation for learning. It is evident that excitement towards school and academic success reinforce one another in a positive feedback loop. Hence, it is extra rewarding to see students become more motivated and value their progress when they understand what they are doing and the important real-world implications. These practices cultivate strength and confidence, guiding students to find their passions; they are key factors for academic proficiency.My Strengths as Tutor 💪
I am a very patient person and a perceptive listener. I appreciate vague questions from students as they allow me to infer knowledge gaps and provide complete explanations with the context that aids understanding of how details fit into the big picture. I communicate with clarity and concision, while always doing my best to put myself on the same level as a student to make them feel comfortable asking questions. I cater my explanations to be most effective for the individual. I also love organising content to flow in a coherent manner where information builds on fundamentals.Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
A tutor is there both to teach content and to improve a student's study habits. Seeking advice from teachers, peers, and my past tutor, I have developed helpful study skills and I recognise inefficient habits. I have gained an appreciation for tuning study practices to the individual for optimal results. Learning to work with my ADHD has taught me to dedicate energy to finding study techniques that I work well with, and I would love to help students find what is most efficient for themselves. Most importantly, a great tutor supports a student's confidence, and in turn eagerness to learn.Subjects Tutored 🎓

Matthew was able to recognise what parts of a question confused him so that we could work on those parts further. He was paying attention to my explanations and contributed ideas and steps to solve. He can plot points on a graph from a data set with high visual accuracy.
We are working on looking at the big picture of the questions to make a plan of how we need to address a problem. Matthew's ability to perform mental operations with integers is well developed, but he needs some more help learning how to operate on fractions. We will try to work on efficiency in problem solving by practicing the questions thoroughly.

When the content was difficult and frustrating, Matthew persevered and we tried looking at the question in a few different ways until it made more sense. He has excellent mental maths skills for multiplications and additions.
Matthew struggles with the comprehension aspect of the question. We will continue to learn and revise mathematical terminology so that the questions may become familiar and we can reduce the stress of comprehension during tests.
Matthew showed interested in reading and learning, even when the text was difficult. He was able to draw connections between himself, the text, and the world.
Matthew showed interested in reading and learning, even when the text was difficult. He was able to draw connections between himself, the text, and the world.
We need to work on focusing on the text and the big ideas that you draw from reading it. We will also work on strategies to anchor to the text and continue to problem solve while experiencing stress.
