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 readily assess and 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 and explanations is an important strength. 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. Make learning fun. Believe in the student's 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 the students' 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 🎓

Orlando wrote great sentences using 3 words with similar sentences, enjoyed making the origami book, did well with the new CHIMP spelling strategy, 7/10 for spelling test, (he had not worked on the words during the week).
Using known words to spell unknown words. Help him to see the common letter letters in words, word families, root words etc. eg beauty and beautiful are 'related'. Orlando needs to source his own error list or list of words he wants to learn. Study 'ief' words.

8/10 spelt correctly. This is particularly significant as Orlando didn’t learn these words for homework (busy week). His first attempts at spelling, his checking skills to see if the word ‘looks right’, and his slow, clear articulation of each syllable while writing the word are skills he has learned successfully, which led to correct spelling. Game where Orlando wrote words from his personal list with the vowels deleted for me to complete.
Next week, Orlando with be taught how spelling a known word can help with the spelling of a similar sounding or rhyming word eg knowing how to spell ‘enough’ can help him spell 'rough'. Continue teaching common letter strings and rules : a) change the y to ‘i’, then add ‘es’. b) words ending in ‘ful’, c) change the ‘f’ to a ‘v’ then add ‘es’ as in half/halves, d) ‘kn__’ words, Consolidate the correct use of punctuation marks. Test to determine further spelling needs.

I was thrilled to hear how Orlando completed his homework accurately and carefully leading to great test results. Orlando enjoyed choosing the activities from a given list for today’s lesson.
Orlando is doing extremely well. I am keen to know how his tutoring progress is translating into more accurate spelling in the classroom. Great work Orlando.

Great: Slow clear articulation of polysyllabic words. Great retell of a sporting event at the school in China. Great recap of what Orlando learned at school when writing a narrative, quotation marks etc. Was able to correctly place most full stops. Most contractions spelt correctly. Did well with short and long vowel work.
Error words : isn't, feeling, hoping, coping. Teach : 'drop the e before ing' rule. Need to do some more editing/self correcting of punctuation, specifically: capital letters for names titles etc. To do: Giving the full translation for contractions. eg isn't = is not. Note: he thought a full stop was a comma- visual discrimination.
