What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
Where do I start... This has been my passion for a while now. First and foremost, I love to see people who were previously not a "math" or "physics" person get into it and see it from a different perspective. The thing that makes me the happiest is seeing parents tell me things like their child went up a class, got much better grades, or that they started being more interested in the subject afterwards. It makes my day when the children tell me math is fun with me. And of course, I love to explain ideas and concepts to people as a hobby.
My Strengths as Tutor 💪
The greatest strength my students have commented on is my ability to simply explain what once seemed too complex and made no sense. I think that as an individual tutor, my strength is in my ability to go beyond just working on specific math or science problems but improving their thinking and motivations along with it. The goal, to me, is to increase the students' marks, so I do what I see to go toward that goal.
Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
Make them believe in themselves is the first thing that pops into my mind. To get a student who once thought a subject was boring or complicated into something at least "okay" in which they can see their potential in if they put in the work. That, to me, is the most important thing.

Finley ended up getting every question right, even year-12 level compound interest. Finley was also quick to translate his understanding of compound interest to depreciation, which are two very similar concepts.
Understanding that the "r" term in the compound interest formula needs to be for each term in which interest is taken.
Finley developed a far deeper understanding of percentages and of the compound interest formula today.

We still need to apply our knowledge to exam-like questions.
We were able to finish a very complex commission question and then another complex question where the simple interest happens monthly.

Finley did a phenomenal job with deciphering the logic behind rates in general, whether it be pay or cost of boxes and hours worked. Finley then deciphered how to understand percentages and how to apply all this understanding to solve year 10 syllabus questions.
Finley would still benefit from practising a bit more with a variety of percentage questions.
