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 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.

The student is starting to get more challenging sounds and letters, but is still able to understand them pretty well given some help. I also believe he is at a stage where he has sufficient understanding of addition and subtraction to expand into more math concepts. One last set of homework should do before we begin on simple division,
The student really struggled to stay focused this time around, and not just because he was tired. He will regularly deviate from work and get distracted, requiring a degree of sternness to get back on track. The student is also struggling to understand the Head-body-tail handwriting system, which is harming his handwriting

The student seems very capable of doing 1-10 addition and subtraction, and further 1-20 with assistance; a very good sign given we will be changing math focus to more applied concepts such as time and shapes. He seems more motivated to learn Math than English.
The student continues to get distracted throughout the sessions. He will very often deviate from the work, especially if he deems it "too easy". The student also struggles with vowels, so much so we couldn't complete the ULFI lesson on them today. He especially struggles identifying the corresponding sound a vowel makes, and choosing the proper vowel to make a word.

Student seems to have built a strong rapport with me; he is excited to have me over, is willing to learn what I teach him, all very beneficial for tutoring. The student has also continued to pick up new sounds and letters and use them accordingly. He can also understand all addition and subtraction problems I give him and, with help, always ends up at the right answer
The student doesn't seem to like using the finger counting method, often leading him to incorrect answers; It is not that he doesn't understand how to use it, he just doesn't like using it and would prefer to use mental computation, often leading to errors. The students handwriting, especially when writing letters with defined "Heads, bodies, and tails" will be the next English focus for the student.
