What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
I enjoy connecting with students and seeing their confidence grow when they finally understand something that seemed difficult at first. During my time volunteering with Ain Society in Singapore, I helped kids with cancer with their homework and discovered how fulfilling it is to make learning a positive experience for someone. I also love helping my younger sister with her math homework, it reminds me how meaningful it is to guide someone and watch them succeed.
My Strengths as Tutor 💪
I would say my biggest strengths as a tutor are patience and empathy. I take time to understand where a student is struggling and explain concepts in a way that makes sense to them. I'm also good at encouraging students and keeping them motivated, which helps them stay engaged and enjoy learning rather than feeling pressured.
Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
I believe the most important thing a tutor can do is build the student's confidence and independence. It's not just about solving problems for them, but teaching them how to think critically so they can solve future problems on their own. A tutor should also create a safe and encouraging environment where the students feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes. I believe that is how real learning happens

About Anushka
About My Studies
I’m a third-year Computer Science student at UNSW, originally from Singapore. I’m especially interested in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and hope to go into UI/UX design in the future. I enjoy learning how people interact with technology and how a good design can make systems easier and more enjoyable to use. One of my favourite courses has been Cybersecurity (COMP6441), which helped me build strong problem-solving and analytical skills. Studying computer science has taught me how to break down complex ideas and explain them clearly, which I find really helpful when tutoring.
About Me Outside Of Uni
Outside of uni, I’m a pretty creative person. I love playing the piano, painting, and dancing whenever I get the chance. I’m also a big fan of movies and TV shows, and I enjoy reading thriller novels in my free time. Some of my favourite moments are simple ones, like sunrise walks at Coogee, spending time with friends, or just relaxing after a long day.
A Bit More About Me
I’ve also trained in taekwondo and reached red belt with a black tip, which taught me discipline and persistence. I enjoy challenging myself and learning new things, whether it’s in academics or everyday life. As a tutor, I aim to be friendly, patient, and supportive, and I want students to feel comfortable asking questions and learning at their own pace.

Demir showed a good understanding of the interest chapter and was able to work through the questions confidently without much assistance. He has also shown some improvement with Pythagoras' theorem compared to previous lessons.
Although Demir's understanding of Pythagoras' theorem has improved, he still finds it difficult to visualise and draw the diagrams for some questions and recognise when the theorem should be used. He also needs more practice with identifying the different rules for bearings and drawing the correct diagrams, particularly for 3D questions. Continuing to practise these types of questions will help him become more confident interpreting the information given before solving them.

Demir showed a very good understanding of both interest and surface area and volume and was able to work through questions from both chapters confidently. He also showed improvement with Pythagoras' theorem and had a better understanding of when the theorem should be used. His ability to recognise the different rules for bearings has also improved compared to the previous lesson.
Demir still finds it difficult to visualise and draw some of the diagrams needed for Pythagoras' theorem and bearings questions. This is particularly challenging for 3D diagrams, although he sometimes needs guidance with 2D diagrams and drawing the compass for bearings as well. We will continue practising how to break down the information given in the question and represent it correctly in a diagram before applying the relevant method.

Demir understood the concepts covered in both surface area and volume and graphing lines very well and was able to complete the questions without much difficulty. He has also shown a lot of improvement with drawing and interpreting 2D diagrams across the different trigonometry topics we have covered.
Although Demir has become much more confident with 2D diagrams, he still finds it difficult to visualise and draw 3D diagrams from the information given in a question. Continuing to practise these questions and breaking down the diagrams into smaller parts will help him become more familiar with representing 3D situations correctly.
Demir has developed a very good understanding of graphing lines and surface area and volume. Out of the entire surface area and volume chapter in his textbook, he ...
Demir has developed a very good understanding of graphing lines and surface area and volume. Out of the entire surface area and volume chapter in his textbook, he only found two questions difficult, showing that he was comfortable with the majority of the concepts covered.
Demir still finds some of the questions involving 3D diagrams difficult, particularly when he has to imagine how the diagram should look based on the description given. To help with this, I gave him a cheat sheet containing common phrases used in these questions and how the corresponding lines should be drawn. Continuing to use this alongside practice questions should help him become more confident drawing and interpreting these diagrams independently.
