What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
As someone who has always been self taught due to never recieving formal tution, I know how much of a difference the right explanation can make. By right explanation, I mean the explanation that 'clicks'. As a result, I enjoy tutoring as I find joy in helping students overcoming their frustration I felt during my highschool years in understanding specific mathematical concepts to instead discover that learning can be enjoyable and empowering.
My Strengths as Tutor 💪
Being self-taught has fostered patience and calmness, while possessing the ability to explain concepts from different angles. This is due to the ability of breaking complex ideas into simple steps. These aspects of myself would thus make me an excellent tutor.
Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
I think one of the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is translate concepts in the students language. For example, some students are visual learners, while some are through written or algebraic proof. It's vital to teach in a way that matches the students thinking to ensure that the student no longer finds the subject intimidating but finds it achievable. As a result, the student builds up their own momentum and consistency by being more passionate for the subject, which can be difference between a poor mark and not only an excellent mark, but a newfound appreciation for it.

We were able to cover his weaknesses in Algebra, area and volume, as well as provide a good refresher to any content that he forgot while I was away.

On the Monday after his Modern History and English exams finish, he has a lot of studying to do. Good luck!
He was able to understand all the concepts very quickly which was great to see.

He should brush up on more of his algebra as it will be very helpful for solving linear-related questions. He should learn to apply it by first understanding what he needs to do, for example, isolate for x by mentally making a list of goals for him to achieve.
He has shown a lot of improvement which is great to see.

He needs to do more research on a topic e.g. how much time he should to complete the test. For example, he set a 50 minute timer for an exam that takes 2 and a half hours to complete. He should also revise daily.
He was able to quickly grasp and understand the financial topics (repayments) as well as SOH-CAH-TOA well which was good.

He needs to bring his laptop next week so we can look at his flashcards that I asked him to make. He also needs to focus more time on algebra and area+volume. He has improved, but he needs to continue putting more focus on those topics in the upcoming weeks towards his final exam. He also needs to double check with the teachers about all the tested content for his coming exam so we can more accurately prepare.
