What do I enjoy most about tutoring? š
What I enjoy most about tutoring is the opportunity to help students and communicate with them effectively. There is no better feeling than seeing a student finally grasp a difficult concept. I feel very happy and proud when they are able to use the knowledge they've gained to solve questions independently. I also enjoy the time to build relationships with students. They are very kind and warm and I love the time when they also view me as their favourite teacher.My Strengths as Tutor šŖ
I achieved a score of over 90 in HSC Mathematics Extension 2, which gives me a deep understanding of advanced mathematical concepts. Professionally, I have experience teaching Maths Methods Unit 1/2 from my previous placement at Richmond High School. Beyond the classroom, I volunteered as a Chemistry tutor in the 2024 Summer VCE Tutoring Program and currently volunteer at Monash Virtual School, teaching chemistry through online lessons. Iām a multilingual person, which allows me to connect with and support students from diverse backgrounds.Most important things I can do for a student š
I believe the most important things a tutor can do for a student are to be well-prepared, to understand the student as an individual, and to provide consistent support. Preparation ensures that every lesson is purposeful and valuable. Understanding a student's specific learning style allows me to adjust my lesson plans so they suit the student best, making learning more effective and comfortable. Finally, offering continuous encouragement helps build the student's confidence, which is essential for their long-term successSubjects Tutored š

About Yaoyao
My Academic Background
I am currently a first-year Master of Teaching (Secondary) student at Monash University, specialising in Science and Chemistry. I previously completed a Bachelor of Science, majoring in Pharmacology, at the University of Melbourne. My strong science background has given me a solid understanding of scientific concepts and subject knowledge.
My Teaching Experience
I have experience tutoring and supporting VCE students in General Mathematics, Chemistry, and Biology. I have also volunteered as an online tutor for VCE Chemistry through the Monash Virtual School program. These experiences have not only strengthened my teaching skills but have also enabled me to explain complex concepts with clarity and provide effective support to students with diverse learning needs.
My Teaching Approach and Language Support
I believe in creating a supportive and encouraging learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and building their confidence. I aim to break down complex concepts into simpler steps and adapt my explanations to suit each student's learning needs. I am fluent in both English and Mandarin Chinese, and can provide bilingual explanations and additional language support for students who find it easier to understand certain concepts in Chinese.
