What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
I really love working with children! I enjoy teaching them and helping them, I've been tutoring my sister for years.My Strengths as Tutor 💪
- Patience - Good understanding of subject matter - Multilingual (English, German, Afrikaans)Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
Listening to their questions, as many children are too scared to ask questions in class, and I hope to provide them a safe space for this. I also think it's important to be flexible, to work with what the kids need. Especially with younger children, who may not necessarily know what exactly they're struggling with.Subjects Tutored 🎓

The games were very fun, and he was quite fast at answering the questions. It also showed his ability to transfer knowledge from different topics or aspects of his life, which is excellent problem-solving ability.
He did very well, so not much 'needs improvement' however, he did get quite focused on playing the game, and wasn't too interested in listening to any explanations if he got something wrong.
His vocabulary is very good (lots of reading!) and therefore he comes up with some really good words to use.

Struggled a bit with coming up with the phrasing of the first sentence of his paragraphs each time, but it goes very smoothly afterwards.
His skip counting is getting quite good, and I think the legos make it easier to visualise

Some of the higher numbers he struggled to count in a bit, but this is something we can practice more.
His spelling is getting much better, and after a little while he got quite good at thinking of things he would like to write.

Struggles a bit with formulating cohesive sentences, occasionally they can be quite long (run-on sentences) or maybe not a full sentence.
