What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
I like helping students cut through the proverbial Gordian knot.My Strengths as Tutor 💪
Because I've studied chemistry, I have a broad grasp of sciences from biology to physics and maths, and can help students link related concepts in a reinforcing manner. I've also worked out a few study tactics for chemistry in particular (some of them also work for physics) that can help with some of the more abstract concepts and with problem-solving techniques.Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
Most students want to get through the next exam, but I also consider it important that knowledge and skills are reinforced and retained for years, if not for life.Subjects Tutored 🎓

Elijah had been struggling with some of the ratios. Once I demonstrated how one was done (quotient rule, and how to lay out the problem-solving), he solved the others will little difficulty.

I think I've been able to break down the fundamental graphs, point out what the modifications do to the graph, and have suggested Elijah follow these assiduously

Elijah isn't necessarily the most self-disciplined student; Rebecca said as much. I've left him with some educational YouTube videos to watch (an explanation of how e was solved on Numberphile, and some of the advances in mathematics around the Renaissance in Epic Math Duels), which I'm hoping will whet his appetite for maths.
Similar to the previous lesson: I think (hope) that I've been able to walk Elijah systematically through these problems and how to approach them.

First session after the holiday break; there wasn't too much to go through. However, Elijah hasn't watched the videos. He might be a difficult student to immerse in the subject.
