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 🎓

Arjun had worked through some year 9 and 10 examples from Ezy Math in his own time, and had some year 11 content to work through with me. He'd definitely become more confident and more confident in the space of just one week.
While there was improvement, Arjun will still need to work more on algebraic exercises and "gymnastics" (I call them). This will take some time yet.

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.
