What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
Witnessing the student's academic potential being fulfilled is a rewarding feeling as hard work will be met with great reward, since it will carry with them for their future prospects.My Strengths as Tutor 💪
- Being about to break down complex concepts and explaining it to students with terms more familiar to them (eg using similies to compare or drawing to help with visuals) - Display empathy and patience that learning new concepts can be difficult and challening - Being encouraging with trying to learn even when mistakes are made - Possess strong time management skills with deadlines, punctuality, and various tasks.Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
As a tutor, it is important to be communicative with the students where ideas and thought process can be discussed so that learning can be improved. Communicating with a positive attitude will encourage students to try their best even when mistakes are made as doing something is better than nothing.Subjects Tutored 🎓

About Terry
Strong Educational Background
I managed to obtained an early offer to study Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) in Materials Engineering and Masters in Biomedical Engineering. As such, I'm familiar in dealing with organising heavy workload, displaying disciplined work ethics and developing study techniques to understand complex concepts.
Out-going & Gentle Personality
I was a part of SRC for my high school so dealing with people's concerns meant to show empathy and patience regardless of who is asking and what is being asked. Always had a positive and optimistic attitude even when things doesn't go to plan, be sure to bounce back.
Extracurricular Activities & Hobbies
Outside of academics, I'm involved with various student-run societies including being a year representative of a faculty society and secretary for a hobby-based society. Therefore, strong communication skills are used to convey ideas in clear and concise manner for the benefit of members' entertainment and enjoyment.

Hugo was able to recall key concepts from trigonometry quickly and was able to appropriately apply concept to various questions and content. He is very familiar with differential calculus and is confident to calculate with a range of functions.
I advised the student to set some revision notes (does not have to be detailed) of key concepts and content of each math advanced topic (could be from textbook chapter and/or the nesa syllabus)
Hugo was able to listen attentively and understand complex concept when revising for polynomials and further trigonometry.

Looking over textbook examples to see the types of questions being asked. He should also practice with the "harder" questions that are placed at the end of each textbook chapters
Hugo was able to clearly show his mathematical working as well as demonstrate his understanding of the concept learnt in both trigonometry and differential calculus.

For revision, I suggest having a checklist of all the math concept/content learnt in class and rate them based on difficulty/confidence due to the amount of content taught in math advanced

For mathematics, Hugo can understand and follow through the concept and theorems (First principle of Calculus) that was covered in class to which he can apply to various cases - finding stationary points of a curve, finding the differential of several functions. For physics, Hugo has a solid understanding of the module "Fundamental of Mechanics" where he can quickly and appropriately apply the concept to solve various questions.
The student needs to have more exposure to past paper questions where he can pick questions that accurately reflects his current syllabus. As well as, the student needs to provide the tutor his study/revision notes such that the tutor can be updated on the class progression with content. A summary of the lesson as well as practice questions will be provided to the student.
