What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
I think the best part about tutoring is seeing an idea click for a student that has been struggling to understand it for a while. It's so rewarding to watch students achieve their goals, build confidence, and continue setting the bar even higher for themselves.
My Strengths as Tutor 💪
I love working with people, and I know how it feels to get stuck on maths problems. It's all about patience and knowing how to break down big complex problems into more manageable bite sized pieces.
I'm also a big fan of questions - there's no such thing as a stupid question.
Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
Definitely building a student's confidence. It's one of the most important things you can learn throughout school, really. When students realise those 'impossible' problems aren't so impossible it opens so many doors for their future. Secondly, enthusiasm for learning. I'm a huge nerd, working in a lab, and I'm happy to chat about academic or wider career goals.

Chloe displays solid fundamentals with algebra, particularly rearranging algebraic equations, basic factoring and memorising fundamental rules (exponent laws, etc). Current school notebook is neat and clear. Chloe demonstrates effective learning strategies, including transfer skills (using a simpler problem as an example and transferring those strategies to a more complex problem).
Chloe mentioned she is struggling most with the less familiar topics covered at school. This is to be expected, but further exposure to these topics with practice questions may help consolidate understanding of these concepts. I also recommend some practice with previous topics, although they have already been covered at school for this year, they will reappear in later years and filling in gaps in understanding now will be a big help later. Notebook is good, only suggestion would be to maybe add a date to each page to keep track of when work was done. To build skill with recognising when to use specific formulas or techniques, I suggest practicing mixed revision questions before tests or exams. In addition, compiling a 'resource book' of formulas/examples and having this alongside the revision quizzes may help guide decisions about which formulas to use. Chloe mentioned test questions are often more complex than the questions covered in class/homework. Again, the best way to approach this is practice with trickier questions outside of test/exams.
