What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
I really enjoy finding ways for students to understand concepts in a way that they wouldn't be able to get in a classroom. I love finding different ways of presenting questions, topics, and theories, and the satisfaction of finding a method that matches with my student. My current student works well through examples; I taught him how to use trigonometry to calculate how an axe flys through the air when you throw it!My Strengths as Tutor 💪
The greatest strength I've found when tutoring is my ability to act as a "safer" type of teacher. I find that the most significant difference between a tutor and a schoolteacher is the power distance faced by the student, and that narrowing is power distance by being welcoming, non-threatening, and easy to talk to is the greatest tool in the tutors arsenal. I have experience in venues where maintaining a welcoming nature has been an absolute must, and using that during tutoring has resulted in great success connecting with students.Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
Building confidence in one's ability to achieve their goals is by the far the most important thing a tutor can do in my eyes; if a student can believe they are capable of achievement, they're already strides ahead. I believe a student who sees themselves achieve with a tutor is more likely to believe they can achieve in class, tests, and in general, which in turn fills them with greater confidence for further study. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy driven by confidence. Sparking that confidence is the best thing a tutor can do for a student, hands down.Tutoring students in 👦 👧

The student could identify incorrect grammar in sentences, pointing out when full stops were missing, and when names and the starting words in a sentence lacked capitalisation. The student has also improved when sounding out new words and writing them without assistance. I've seen progressive improvement from reading and writing ability, as he continues to read longer sentences and more advanced words using new letters.
Student continues to struggle with vowels, especially the difference between a and e. He also struggles breaking words apart into sounds, often identifying all consonants but missing the vowels. A focus on handwriting and identifying vowels will be the focus of our next session. We also had a behaviour issue today, where he refused to give me back my stationary at the end of the lesson. This was new from him, and rather unexpected.

The student is beginning to learn how to intuit how a word is spelt before seeing it for the first time. I would ask them to sound out and write a word, which he was able to do with some help; very good job to him! The new schedule also means we can focus harder on the English work than we could with the half-math-half-english schedule, as well as give more time for revision, which has been very important
The students handwriting continues to need work. The student finds several letters difficult to write, especially s, q, and d. The student also swaps regularly between uppercase and lowercase letters. I think next lesson we should prioritise handwriting and grammar; If he can start a habit of using proper cases and full stops now, it would be a big help.

The student seemed rather content focusing solely on English, given the new changes to the tutoring schedules. The student was able to pick up both the letters K and H with relative ease, and has gotten far more confident with writing sentences. The student also showed that he is able to perform relatively neat handwriting when he focuses on it, which was an unexpected surprise
The student still struggles to read sentences, especially when focusing on multiple words at once. He will be able to sound out and read every word, but struggles to string all the words together into a fluent sentence. The student also continues to get easily distracted during lessons. Minimising the amount of potential distractors is key to maintaining his focus.

The student was a lot better at identifying vowels and their sounds than last session, being able to identify the middle vowel of most three-letter-words given to him. He also did very well in recalling equal groups, division of circles, and division of groups. His confidence reading sentences is improving, but he still needs assistance.
The student struggles reading sentences and words without assistance, especially words with similar vowels (Cat, cut, cot, etc) and words that he cannot sound out yet (The, see, etc). The student continues to refuse to count with his fingers; not because he cannot, but because he would prefer to use mental computation, leading to errors. His subtraction needs work as well, specifically his counting backwards from 20-10.
