What do I enjoy most about tutoring? π
What I enjoy most about tutoring is watching that moment when something finally clicks for a student. Helping my students go from confusion to confidence especially when they've been struggling - it is incredibly rewarding. I love adapting my explanations until it makes sense for them, and seeing their growth over time keeps me motivated.My Strengths as Tutor πͺ
What I enjoy most about tutoring is that I get to approach learning from both sides as a tutor and as a student myself. Since completing my Bachelor's degree, I've been tutoring for over three years, and I always teach by putting myself in the student's shoes. It helps me explain concepts in a way that's relatable and easy to grasp, and I find that this approach really builds trust and understanding with my students. Ex: If my student likes footy - I am going to use the game field to explain the Pythagorean theorem.Most important things I can do for a student π
I think the most important things a tutor can do are to make the student feel understood, build their confidence, and explain concepts in a way that truly makes sense to them. As someone who is still a student myself, I know how overwhelming things can get, so I try to create a comfortable space where they are not afraid to ask questions or make mistakes. It's about guiding them, not just teaching content, but also helping them believe they can do it.Subjects Tutored π

Piper showed good engagement in identifying different types of angles and was able to recognize right angles confidently. She asked questions and participated actively when comparing angles in everyday objects.
Needs more practice in estimating and measuring angles accurately, particularly in distinguishing between acute and obtuse angles. Reinforcement of angle terminology (right, straight, reflex) would also be helpful.
