What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
I have always loved collaboration; with my friends, with mentors, and with younger people I can help. For example, in my time as college captain, we worked closely with younger cohorts to deliver engaging workshops on how to improve recognition of gender inequality in male dominated environments. I grew up with tutors in my house for myself and my brothers, and they were always such kind people who became life mentors as well as academic mentors. What I love about tutoring is now I can be that person and that role model.My Strengths as Tutor 💪
Whilst I was always a keen mathematics student, interpreting texts and creating fluent essay responses or creative pieces within English has always been my area. This means, while I would be more than happy to help tutor maths, I feel as though my help within humanity and writing-based subjects such ans English and History would be truly the most effective, especially given the prominence of people who are happy to tutor maths.Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
I believe the most powerful way a tutor can aid a student is by giving them confidence. More than often, students can show more vulnerability in a one-on-one session than in a classroom surrounded by their peers, and so the best thing I can do is use these private sessions to impart confidence in the students by making them see ways they can succeed. I think a natural result of this is a bond and friendship, which can give the student things to look forward to and someone to look up to.Subjects Tutored 🎓

Faced some issues with factorising, cancelling with fractions, and spotting DOPS.
We got through a lot in the hour as he was quite focused and it was good to be able to sneak in two naplan papers in preparation for his test.

Sometimes gets put off by questions with long winded wording and tries to answer too quickly.
Generally strong at answering once confident that the processes were the same as normal equations.

Receiving a 5 on first test so hoping to go through and see where she went wrong when she gets it back.
Solid grind to get 30 questions done and Louis had around 25-27/30 correct so I have high hopes for his results!

Couple times I could tell Louis would find the answer had he focused a bit more but he was tired and was giving up sooner.
