What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
Having experienced first-hand the frustration and anxiety that surrounds the inability to understand course content and succeed in the HSC, I'm more than happy to provide guidance to students in that same position. Having overcome it, I hope to give others the same support I would have wanted and use my knowledge and skills to make a positive contribution to their learning.
My Strengths as Tutor 💪
My greatest strength as a tutor is my ability to empathise with students experiencing difficulty, as my similar experiences have developed the necessary patience and communication skills to be able to teach them. My strong work ethic also drives me to prioritise their learning and make sure that sessions are effective and meaningful.
Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
Rather than 'how to answer questions', the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is teach them how to think to solve problems. In a real-world workplace, problem solving is a crucial skill as it creates meaningful solutions to issues. This is why teaching maths should go beyond drilling procedures, formulas and theorems into a student's head - tutors should encourage students to develop a wholesome understanding of the problem, why certain steps are taken and how best to approach it. This will allow students to develop critical thinking skills that extend beyond mathematics.

After some practice Hayden could classify data into its different types. He also understood how to apply proportions to stratified sampling.
After some practice Hayden could classify data into its different types. He also understood how to apply proportions to stratified sampling.
Hayden still needs to really commit the different definitions of data types and sampling techniques to memory, as they are often asked for in exams.
Hayden did well with most of the stratified sampling homework questions. He also remembers how to draw histograms with little issue.

Hayden often confuses cumulative frequency and relative frequency. He also struggled with harder stratified sampling questions (e.g. catch and release questions).

Hayden was able to understand how to apply the 80/20 rule to Pareto charts by the end of the lesson. He had zero issue with both making and analysing stem-and-leaf plots, dot plots, column graphs and bar graphs.
Hayden can sometimes forget to leave out information in his graphs. He should also try to use a better scale when drawing them by hand.

Hayden remembers most of the properties of different sampling techniques, which he will need to use in his assignment. He now understands better how to classify the assignment data into different types. He also remembers how to make a five-number summary.
In future, Hayden should avoid rushing through his homework, as it is an important opportunity to practice what he has learnt independently. Hayden had some difficulty with harder questions about analysing pareto charts.
