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!
