My Strengths as Tutor 💪
I think that as a tutor, my strengths are: 1. Patience - I am able to work with the students who struggle at Mathematics and focus on their lack of basics in order to build up their confidence. A lot of students who struggle lack a lot of the basics from earlier years. I like to make sure that if I see a student struggle, I take them back to the beginning and teach them the basics they need; 2. My need to explain the concepts and the thinking process involved rather than teaching a process. I want to make sure the fisherman eats for life.Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
I believe instilling confidence in students, and not belittling students are the most important things a tutor can do. A lot of students who struggle at Mathematics get demotivated when the work gets harder and harder. Bringing back the difficulty in questions will start building confidence in students. Constant praising when students get a question right will help them believe that they are able to solve these types of questions alone. I also think that tutors should lead students to the steps rather than telling the students what to do eg to solve x - 7 = 2, I wouldn't say, +7 to each side.

- Mental/Arithmetic maths is improving - Recall of various topics, including calculating pre-GST, GST and final price was good after a bit of prompting - Good recall of most topics with a bit of prompting
- More self-study to improve recall without prompting - Perhaps more techniques to assist with recall.
- Good understanding of the GST percentage; - Good understanding of what steps to take depending on if the question gave the GST amount, pre-GST price or inclusive ...

- Practice with a mixture of questions to make sure the steps are reinforced.
- Better recall of which angles to apply and techniques to work through geometry questions
- Better recall of which angles to apply and techniques to work through geometry questions
- Initiative to start asking the questions that we devised to work through the geometry questions which will come with practice and asking the same questions repetitively.
Lyla was able to distinguish when worded questions was asking her to add times or subtract times.

More practice is needed to improve recall of types of questions.
