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 accurately sped through her addition and subtraction workbook questions - especially the doubles which she said she practiced a lot in grade 1! Also very confident with counting coins. I brought a couple of each type of coin along and she methodically counted how much different groups of them were worth. We used an online analogue clock tool on my iPad and she was able to accurately tell the time for times on the hour and half past. Rosie has also improved lots with her ability to use algorithms to work out trickier addition and subtraction questions. She now understands that we solve the 'ones' place numbers before the 'tens'.
More work on 4 times tables. Rosie seems to understand that counting by 4s is how we can work them out, but some more work on the relationship between groups of 4s and their respective times table e.g. 4*5 will be beneficial for her. Telling the time for quarter past and quarter to. However we did this at the end of the lesson when her concentration was waning, which may have impacted her performance.

Rosie is strong at using visual objects, such as pencils or counting on fingers, to add or subtract. Suggests she may be more of a visual learner? We went through how we can use a decimal place between the 'tens' place and the 'hundreds' place to convert hundreds of cents into dollars, e.g. 115 cents = $1.15. She seemed to understand this concept at the end.
Addition and subtraction of two digit numbers. We will work on using vertical algorithms properly as she was often adding the numbers in 'tens' place first instead of adding the numbers in the 'ones' place. We could try using visual learning strategies to work on this next time.
