I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to understand their cognitive load. Focusing on how much the student can process during a given session, allows an effective learning plan to be created. In turn, the student will be able to establish deeper understandings and be able to reach their full potential. My strengths are…
Beyond the obvious role of a tutor helping a student understand the course content they should also equip them with critical problem solving skills and effective study habits. Tutors should encourage them to think independently and provide a structured learning approach that also develops a positive attitude towards learning. My strengths are my…
I consider the most important thing a tutor can do is to personalise the teaching to each student. Everyone learns differently and have different strengths and weaknesses, so it only makes sense that every student will not learn effectively from the same teaching methods. My strengths are my ability to explain concepts or formulas in a way that…
The most important things a tutor can do for a student is be patient with the student and understand that everyone learns things in different ways and different speeds relative to other students. I believe my strengths as a tutor include: interpersonal skills, kind yet determined attitude, multiple ways of explaining a different concept, open to…
Help students to help themselves by scaffolding their learning and building their confidence. Teaching students to approach a topic in a way that they can break it down into its constituent parts, developing a plan to address each task, and successfully completing it, step by step. I have had good feedback from students saying that I am…
- Give them a 100 percent of your attention that they would not otherwise get at school.
- Be friendly and approachable, so the student can be honest about what they do not get.
- Figure out the strengths and weaknesses of the student to help the student in the specific areas needed. Relatability, as I have been in the same position as them…
a tutor must match the mental level of students of every grade.
for example- adjusting your level for 6th standard as well as for 11th standard child accordingly is all i believe a tutor should keep in mind understanding the students issues and to solve and satisfy them with the…
Some of the most important things a student can gain from having a tutor would be to build up their confidence in a certain subject, by providing specialised teaching and education for that specific student, to increase their understanding. A tutor would also provide a different perspective of difficult concepts, being seperated from the…
Support the students and tell them they can achieve their life goals through hard work and discipline. And also tell them that they are smart enough to accomplish any task. I think I am a very patient person when I am trying to teach someone else something…
It is important to teach frameworks and critical thinking rather than boring formulas or random facts. In other words, the goal of any tutor is to teach someone how to fish and never give them fish. I strive to find familiar examples in real life that connect with the concepts we are learning to ease this process. I am able to meet my students…
Specialising the learning to the student and their existing schema/knowledge base. Drawing a line between what the student knows and what the classroom teacher is teaching, and filling in the gaps. I have been an engineer for 9+ years so I have a lot of real-world examples I can use for maths and physics students. I also have a Grad Dip in…
There are definitely many important things that a tutor can do for a student but in my opinion, the most important would have to be correcting the mistakes and wrongs. I believe that understanding why a student got a particular question wrong is one of the hardest, yet most important responsibilities of a tutor as he/she has to ensure the student…
We have been very pleased with the approach Darrell has used with our daughter. He has been very personable and works at developing a relationship with our daughter while teaching her. She has responded well and feels more confident with her maths skills. She received positive feedback from her teacher after only two sessions with Darrell and she is confidently waiting for the results of her test. Darrell has always been polite, on time and communicates well with us. We appreciate his support.
Joseph is a legend. The feedback from Max has been great, and what he is doing is excellent. I am really impressed with his work and the effect it seems to be having. Thanks!
Oscar is finding the tutoring very helpful in realizing he is able to "do maths". He is feeling a lot more positive in general at this time and we hope that the gradual improvement he makes will continue to provide a source of self belief and positive thinking. He is very comfortable working with Kirsty and is keen to continue with her.
