What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
Do you ever have the satisfaction of solving a problem that you couldn't do previously? All by urself?
Once you've experienced that, you'd definitely want to share the experience.
My Strengths as Tutor 💪
Explains complex concepts in a clear, visual, and engaging way, helping students build confidence and understanding.
Assigns targeted homework tailored to each student's learning needs and upcoming tests to maximise improvement.
Highly responsive and reliable, providing prompt communication and ongoing support for students and parents.
Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
Identify knowledge gaps and focus on strengthening weak areas before moving on.
Explain difficult concepts clearly using visual examples, diagrams, and real-world applications.
Adapt teaching to the student's learning style, whether they learn best visually, verbally, or through practice.
Create personalised lesson plans and practice quizes based on school topics, upcoming assessments, and individual goals.
Teach problem-solving strategies, not just how to get the answer.
Provide regular feedback so students understand what they're doing well and what to improve.
Encourage independent learning, helping students become more self-sufficient rather than relying on memorisation.
Keep lessons engaging with interactive activities, visual aids, and varied teaching methods.
Reduce stress and anxiety by creating a supportive environment where students feel comfortable asking questions.

A bit fidgety and not concentrating. Broke pen and doodling. Explained concentration with Racheal, understand that Jonah is going through a stressful time. Glad he is still listening and able to attend sessions.

Starting to understand the method of doing the questions, only few minor mistakes. Increased in curiosity, asked teacher for help with homework. Understood that all working out has to be shown and correct, even if the answer is correct. I wish you the best! I'd say good luck, but from what you've learnt these lessons, I don't think you would need it!
Overall tracking good this lesson. Next lesson would be after the test and next term. The remaining week and a bit of self study is up to him!!!

Today he asked many questions and remembered quite a lot of stuff from his math class today, like describing a turning point being min/max, wide/normal/thin or inverted/upright. He acknowledges that he requires more independent practice to improve. Discussed his goals today, aiming for a B in his next test 70%, where he is currently in the C range.
Did not complete previously assigned home work 2 hours worth in the 5 days gap between tutoring. Has trouble applying what he has learnt about quadratics previously with worded.diagram questions. Will do a review lesson next lesson.

Initially Jonah was cooperative and answered questions reasonably well. Today he excelled at naming shapes independently like hexagonal prism or triangular pyramid.
Prior to the session beginning, Racheal has notified me of Jonah's current situation and mood which was reflected in his desire for the class to end as soon as possible and on time. Understandable due to the stressful workload he is under. No homework was prescribed.
