What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
Something I enjoy most about tutoring, and I believe the children do too, is being able to learn with someone they perhaps find more relatable and they're able to take on skills and tips that you used during your education, where they may not have that with their teacher.My Strengths as Tutor 💪
I am well spoken and love working with kids. I am also extremely passionate about the material I'm teaching and love to help kids with techniques to battle some difficult questions they may encounter.Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
Encourage the student to have fun with it! Learning shouldn't be boring, learning should bring curiosity to the student and help them find new ways of considering the problem. The tutors job, in that way, is crucial, because it can help the student feel less stress in their subjects and actually enjoy them, as well as feel much more confident within themselves.Subjects Tutored 🎓

About Dahan
Multilingual Humanities Student with Strong Communication Skills
Dahan is a university student studying History and Linguistics, giving her a strong foundation in reading, writing and analytical thinking that translates directly into English tutoring. She speaks four languages – English, French, Turkish and Norwegian – which helps her explain tricky concepts in clear, accessible ways and connect with students from diverse backgrounds. Her ongoing academic success in language-focused subjects means she can support students with essay structure, comprehension, grammar and vocabulary in a way that feels approachable and confidence-building.
Patient Communicator with Real-World People Skills
Through her customer-facing roles, this tutor has spent many hours explaining information clearly, listening carefully and staying calm under pressure – the same skills that help a nervous student feel at ease. She is used to breaking down complex or unfamiliar information into simple steps, checking for understanding and adjusting her approach on the spot. Parents can expect a tutor who is reliable, organised and able to build positive rapport quickly, especially with students who may be shy or unsure of themselves.
Culturally Aware Tutor Who Makes Learning Relatable
Having lived and worked across different communities and languages, Dahan brings a broad, culturally aware perspective to her sessions. She often draws on real-world examples, everyday language and cross-cultural comparisons to make reading tasks and language exercises more engaging for students. Her background in French and linguistics allows her to design tailored vocabulary and grammar activities, while her interest in history helps her bring context and stories into lessons, making learning feel more like a conversation than a classroom lecture.

We need to do more work with time, with converting from 24 hour time, to 12 hour and understanding what that means. She additionally needs help with drawing analog clocks. She read well and I would encourage her to continue developing her skill in reading

By the end of the lesson he seemed to understand the construction of whole sentences when answering a question, additionally he did well during the grammar exercises and in breaking down big words to spell
He was quite distracted during the lesson and didn't want to do the reading or comprehension which led him to misread frequently. Despite his distraction, however, a consistent error is misreading 's' at the end of a word (mum's -> mum etc). Additionally while he could confidently break down the spelling of bigger words, he struggled sometimes with spelling smaller words. I encourage him to read and write more frequently so that he may memorise spellings of important words and may understand grammar more intuitively.

In our sessions we have been working on highlighting important parts of the question so that the question is fully understood and all important parts are obvious. She did that really well this lesson and explained that she did that at school at well (and that it helped) which was great to hear. She was more confident answering the questions and in explaining to me how the questions may be answered
As of right now, she still needs a bit of guidance with dealing with the question, she sometimes gets confused with the working out or what to do next, which comes with reading the question repeatedly and understanding the method, which we will continue enhancing

He was curious as to what came next in the book that we begun and also became very excited and competitive with getting his spelling correct. He also understood how to larger addition problems when explained
As established in the previous session, the tutoring should focus on the fundamentals and work from there. His spelling and his reading skills need work and from there his writing ability will improve. I suggest he develop more of a habit around reading and continue working on his spelling. Mathematics is not a big priority now though I would like to understand where he is at with subtraction , division and multiplication
