What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
What I enjoy most about tutoring is the moment a student grasps something that once felt confusing to them. As a child, I really thrived off of that sense of accomplishment. Finally understanding long division or solving a tricky word problem made me feel proud and I still remember the teachers who helped me get there. Now, I get to be that person for someone else. It’s incredibly gratifying to watch a student’s confidence grow and to know I’ve helped make something click for them especially when I see that same joy and relief I used to feel.
My Strengths as Tutor 💪
One of my biggest strengths as a tutor is my ability to meet students where they are. Whether I’m working with students at Kumon across different year levels or tutoring family friends’ children (some of whom have special needs), I always try to adapt my approach to their pace, learning style, and confidence level. I make an effort to understand what’s going on beneath the surface so I can better support their learning journey rather than just sticking to a one-size-fits-all method.
Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
I think the most important thing a tutor can do is teach clearly and patiently while also paying close attention to whether the student is actually following. Sometimes students say they understand because they’re embarrassed or unsure how to ask for help, and as a tutor, I believe it’s my job to read those signals, ask the right questions, and keep checking in. It’s not just about getting through the material, instead, I see it being about making sure they’re really learning and feeling supported throughout the process.

Maths) - Worked through Exercise 3 with a developing understanding of gradient and y-intercept. - Was able to identify the gradient and intercept when these were clearly shown in an equation. - Successfully substituted values into equations when guided through the steps. - Responded well to worked examples and was able to apply the same method to similar questions. - Showed improvement in recognising the relationship between the equation and the corresponding graph. English) - Developed an initial understanding of persuasive writing and how writers aim to influence their audience. - Identified several common persuasive language features and discussed their purpose. - Made relevant connections between the ideas presented in Animal Farm and real-life issues such as inequality, leadership, propaganda and the abuse of power. - able to recognise that the novel communicates broader ideas about society rather than simply telling a fictional story. - Participated well in discussion and was able to explain personal interpretations when prompted.
Maths) -further practice identifying the gradient and y-intercept when the equation is presented in a less familiar form. - Sometimes confused the gradient with the y-intercept, particularly when reading information from a graph. - Continue practising rearranging equations into gradient-intercept form before identifying the gradient and intercept. -slow down particularly with negative gradients and intercepts. English) - develop explanations beyond simply identifying a language feature or theme. - Practise explaining how a particular language feature influences the reader and why the author uses it. - Continue working on linking evidence from Animal Farm to broader real-world issues. - Use more specific examples or quotations from the text to support arguments. - Work on structuring persuasive ideas clearly, with a strong point followed by evidence and explanation. - analyse the effect of language choices on the audience.

Maths) - Worked confidently through the gradient worksheet with minimal assistance. - Accurately found gradients from graphs and equations. - Was able to graph linear relationships independently without prompting. - Demonstrated a solid understanding of how gradient relates to the steepness and direction of a line. - Only required a few corrections, mainly for minor calculation or notation errors. English) - Engaged thoughtfully with the discussion around personal values and beliefs. - able to identify ideas and perspectives that could be developed into a persuasive argument. - Contributed well to discussion and showed a good understanding of the purpose of the assignment. - Began considering how the choice of persona and audience could influence the content and tone of the speech.

English) - Continue narrowing down the topic and deciding on a clear position to argue. - Develop a stronger understanding of the intended audience and how this should shape a speech. - Plan specific arguments and persuasive techniques

Maths) - Engaged well with the introduction to probability and understood the basic concept of likelihood. - able to identify whether events were more likely, less likely, certain or impossible. - Successfully calculated straightforward simple probability questions. - Demonstrated a good understanding of how to identify favourable outcomes and the total number of possible outcomes. - Applied the method consistently throughout the exercise with some guidance where questions became less familiar. English) -Engaged well with the analysis of Boochani’s speech and was able to identify examples of the three persuasive appeals. - Demonstrated a developing understanding of how ethos, pathos and logos work differently to persuade an audience. -able to discuss the emotional impact of Boochani’s experiences and how this strengthens his argument. - Made relevant observations about how the speaker establishes credibility and uses evidence to support his message. - made connections between the techniques analysed and how they could be applied to own speech.
Maths) - Continue practising identifying the total number of possible outcomes, particularly in less familiar questions. - Take care when simplifying fractions and presenting the final answer. English) - Continue developing analysis beyond identifying the persuasive technique by explaining how and why it affects the audience. - Use specific examples from Boochani’s speech to support analytical points. - Work on clearly distinguishing between ethos, pathos and logos when techniques overlap.
