What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁

Whilst I am new to professional tutoring, I can imagine that it would be quite rewarding seeing students discover their intellectual and live up to their full academic potential. Preparing them for life beyond their current year level, and even beyond school in general also means that I have provided my students with advice which provides benefit for their life, rather than a mere grade.

My Strengths as Tutor 💪

English and literature: Having achieved DUX of 2021 for both English (average: 98%) and Literature (average: 99%), as well as high results all the way from year 8 until year 12, I know what it takes to succeed in this subject, and have taken notice of where people usually go wrong, be it neglect of analysis, lack of fluency and sophistication, or little understanding of the author's views and values. Hence, I am prepared to provide thorough feedback of the student's work, breaking down what makes a good essay and working on the student's areas of weakness whilst simultaneously perfecting their strengths. Biology: Whilst at the beginning of the year, the sudden and unfamiliar environment of lockdown took a toll on my marks for biology, as the year went on, I adapted to the new environment and was able to acknowledge the downfalls of my study techniques. As I realized that success in biology means training one's mind to be able to deeply understand the concepts and apply the knowledge to myriad questions, rather than just memorizing, with practice and persistence I was able to change my SAC scores from 70% to 90%, and achieved an A+ on the exam. Through tutoring, I aim to share with my students the mistakes I made in my study as well as how to achieve high marks, so that they are able to learn from my own missteps. For both English/Literature and Biology I have retained resources which I believe will be beneficial for students and which helped me in these subjects. As a recently graduated VCE student myself, I have also taken note of which teaching methods are ineffective/effective, and aim to embed the effective techniques within my own teaching style, whilst catering to the unique needs of individual students.

Most important things I can do for a student 🏅

As all students would have different levels of understanding, the most important thing a tutor can do is to take the time to devise individual learning plans for the students, plans which suit the individual's learning style and would be most effective in seeing them reach their full intellectual capacity. Punctuality and reliability are also extremely important traits for a tutor, to ensure that there is an element of trust between the tutor and student. Achieved through responsiveness, I am sure I will be able to prove my reliability as a tutor, by providing assistance beyond just our sessions, but whenever help is needed. I have also retained tons and TONS of resources (example essays, notes, practice SACs etc) and have carefully chosen the ones I believe are most beneficial.
