Verified Tutor
Annabelle is currently a Film and Television Student at Deakin University. She is originally from Regional Victoria and excelled in Mathematical Methods, English, Music Repotuire, Drama, Media Studies and Theatre Studies during her VCE, gaining an ATAR 20+ points above what was required for her course.
Annabelle understands that the way the curriculumn is taught in the classroom can be difficult to learn from at times, especially for neurodivergent students, and that the presure of academia can be harmful to both students and their results. Annabelle pushes her students to their full potential by encouraging growth rather than condesending failure, and she will provide students with multiple different strategies to perform in the way that will assist their learning the most.

Was a very engaged student, and I can see the improvement that she has had in her english skills since beginning tutoring.

Just keep up the practice. I know that unfortunately I am unable to tutor Ella for term 4, but I am excited to pick her back up as a student when I return to Melbourne. She has been a real treat.
Initially she wasn't paticularly wanting to do tutoring, but came out of her shell pretty quickly. Fidget toy offerings and a supportive brother helped.

Just general upkeep of additonal study, reading, expanding vocabulary etc.
While we ended slightly early, what he did do he worked very well on.

Was tired and a little less focused this week, but considering how good he has been in the past the lapse was okay.
Getting to the answers herself a little more, rather than waiting for me to almost give it too her.

Homework for this week is a reading comprehension sheet (the shoemaker), a worksheet for dictionary skills, and more vocabulary-growing (writing new words definintions/putting them into sentences etc.). She really needs to grow her vocabulary. She doesn't have to just do this through reading though, she can grow her vocabulary by watching tv that's made for families rather than just kids etc. encourage her to ask what new words mean and to hunt them out. Going to talk about smilies and metaphors next week as well.
