What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
The most rewarding aspect of tutoring I find is when a student can explain a concept back to me, which is like a lightbulb moment for them. When they then apply the concept correctly to a problem, see that they are capable of solving it and grow in confidence - this makes me proud!
My Strengths as Tutor 💪
I am a good listener, and I enjoy helping to reframe a problem in different ways that can suit a student's individual learning style. I prefer to use diagrams as a tool to help create a strong mental image, rather than simply applying formulae.
Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
Since all maths is built on foundations, I can identify and address weakness in a particular building block, rather than just correcting mistakes. A good tutor does more than simply deliver content, but should inspire creativity within a student. My students will gain the confidence to attack further problems and be empowered with the ability to think more critically and conceptualise information with greater clarity. Mathematics is the language of the world around us. Helping a student succeed with maths arms them with the best tools to succeed throughout their lives.

Will was readily able to see how column graphs are a more precise/less ambiguous form of data representation. He was able to extend line data and accepted the limitations of line data.
Will had some difficulty replacing the categories of x-axis of column graphs in order to make them more useful. This is a highly abstract transformation.

Tom was handling the added complexity of multi-part questions well. He was able to interpret the graphical representation of algebra and understood how graphs can help inform us about the form of an algebraic expression.
Tom was having a little trouble with the sub-indices, but this is still new to him and are an extension of what has been covered so far.

Will was readily able to see the way that a series of shapes were growing and could create rules for number patterns by considering the arithmetic difference between terms in the series.
Will had a little more trouble when a series of numbers had a more complicated rule, such as alternately adding and subtracting or multiplying and dividing. However, once he saw that this was a possibility, he expanded the possibilities in his mind to include these.
Tom seemed to understand the logic behind the areas of different shapes and was able to apply Pythagoras' theorem to calculating the area of a hexagon

There wasn't anything that Tom truly struggled with, which was surprising, given that his school report had indicated that he had difficulty in these areas.
