What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
I thoroughly enjoy sharing the joy of success with children. I love those 'light globe' moments when students gain new understandings and skills. I also am motivated by : Making a difference to a student as they realise their potential. Getting to know students learning styles and providing them with the necessary tools so they can improve ie i like the intellectual challenge of giving them the best lessons. Sharing my love of maths, reading, language, literacy and learning.My Strengths as Tutor 💪
Experience and keen observation skills have lead to my highly tuned intuition so I can identify students learning styles and needs. I can quickly decide how to present information and tasks so the students feel success quickly. I scaffold their learning to give them just the right amount of support. Establishing rapport with students (and parents where appropriate), giving clear, easy to understand information, explanations. Communication skills- report writing, planning, assessing, diagnosing. I am extremely patient, encouraging and gentle and have a wealth of ideas/activities for teaching.Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
I am confident in by ability to: Build the student's confidence. Believe in the studen'ts ability to achieve. Be kind and supportive, have a sense of humour and make the lessons enjoyable. Scaffold the lessons so students have lots of success, especially early on in the tutoring. Help them enjoy reading, maths, writing and a wider range of literature. Extend in the student a love of learning. Measure their progress so they can see the data to prove they have improved. Give positive contructive feedback to help them understand themselves and their skills/abilities. This then leads students to repeat positive behaviours. Give them lots of experiences of SUCCESS!Subjects Tutored 🎓

Great to hear Orlando slowly and clearly articulate each word, syllable by syllable, as he wrote the word. Great to see him check each attempt, leading to numerous self-corrections. Orlando has a clear understanding of what he knows. Very confident as he only had 4 cards in the pile of words he was unsure of. Great result. Congratulations Orlando.
Next term: Develop independent learning skills. Increase ability to reiterate the skills he has learned during tutoring sessions.

Great at identifying the difficult part of words he needs to learn. Great that Orlando consistently completes all homework tasks. Great to hear him singing as he works! HUGE improvement in his handwriting-he can now see when a word looks right or wrong. Well done Orlando!
