What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
That moment where you can see a concept really click for a student. I find it so rewarding when I am able to explain something such that the student understands it, particularly when it's a concept they've been struggling with for awhile.My Strengths as Tutor 💪
I've had lots of informal and formal mentoring experience. From peer mentoring at university to leadership experience in music ensembles throughout high school, I've had lots of experience mentoring younger students. Within music, I have hosted small tutorials for my peers and led chamber music groups, as well as leading instrumental sections in large ensembles. I understand what helps students feel comfortable in these settings, what helps them to learn, what helps them to take on feedback given to them.Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
As a tutor, I am there to support the individual student in a non-judgemental way. Encouraging your child to be themselves throughout their learning journey and shaping lesson plans to support their individual needs or learning styles are my priorities. This ensures your child feels comfortable and eager to learn in their tutoring sessions with me.Subjects Tutored 🎓

About Adele
Why Adele?
Adele has studied music her entire life, performing to a high level and completing a semester of the Bachelor of Music before transferring to the Bachelor of Commerce. Countless hours of private flute lessons, tutorials, and ensemble rehearsals have made her familiar with which teaching styles actually work. She understands the importance of encouraging & supporting your child to ask questions or get things wrong, as like private music lessons, tutoring sessions can be a vulnerable environment for students. Adele's philosophy is that ensuring that the student feels comfortable to be themselves is the best way to help their grades, understanding, and satisfaction from mathematics to improve.
Adele's Educational Background
Adele attended Genazzano FCJ College from year 5 to year 12, achieving an ATAR of 96.25. She now studies a Bachelor of Commerce (Finance & Economics) at the University of Melbourne. She is continuing her passion for mathematics through undertaking two elective subjects in mathematics, achieving a score of 93 for Calculus 1. Her grades and enjoyment in mathematics skyrocketed when she learnt to ask for help and deepen her understanding of the subject. As a result, she would love to help your child to do the same through her tutoring sessions.

Rosie's focus improved substantially today which made for a very productive lesson. Subtracting via regrouping has now clicked for her and she is able to talk through it and answer questions correctly. She also now knows that we can count by the divisor until we reach the dividend to find the answer for division problems.
Mental computation skills when applying to questions that aren't directly asking them. E.g. she can solve 13 - 10 very quickly when seeing it written in front of her but when it is an intermediate step she struggles to calculate it.

Rosie seems to have a good grasp on multiplication. Once she understands what type of maths a worded problem is asking her to do, she is quick to solve it. She also seems to have a good idea of subtracting 10s and 1s using the popsicle sticks.
Didn't get much done today due to Rosie's lack of concentration. She also hasn't quite grasped separating the 10s and 1s in the subtrahend to solve regrouping problems visually. She is also not yet able to translate regrouping skills to written questions.

Visualising worded problems - understands what they're asking visually but not necessarily mathematically yet. Rosie also enjoyed making her own worded mathematical problems which she solved correctly.
Subtraction via regrouping. Mental computation questions for multiplication. Knowledge of 2D shapes and their properties. Understanding how to answer worded problems mathematically without drawing it out visually first.

Strong pattern recognition skills and recognised the importance of drawing things out when I suggested doing so as a problem-solving technique. Realises where he went wrong by himself and can self-correct. Strong mental maths skills. Also strong problem-solving approach for multiple choice problems (process of elimination).
Knowledge of 3D object measurements (e.g. surface area). Keeping track of working out, structuring it in a way that can be followed.
