What do I enjoy most about tutoring? π
I know that I have the capability for someone who doesn\'t understand a concept to learn it from the basics, understand it, and thus enjoy the concept and advance in it. It feels really rewarding when the effort both I and my student put in comes through from the results achieved.My Strengths as Tutor πͺ
Each person learns differently and not one method fits all. Therefore, a tutor must adapt their teaching style to their student\'s learning ability and make sure that every step of the way of teaching, the student understands. The student needs to learn and build a solid foundation from the basics of a subject to be able to apply it to more advanced concepts. Any knowledge gap the student has, the tutor should pick up and explain them to fill in those gaps. If a student gets an answer/concept wrong, the tutor should ask how they got to that conclusion by going through the steps with the studentMost important things I can do for a student π
Always receive feedback from the student, ask the student if they are understanding and explain in their own words any concepts we learned at the end of the session. Ask the student any questions they have. Provide notes/examples step by step so that the student can learn and ask any questions about why that is so. Always be there to support the student in generalSubjects Tutored π

Danielle understood how to do most questions once i explained it to her this time which is a big improvement from before. However, she needs to be able to do this without my help next time and be able to understand similar questions. It was good that for each question, she explained why the answer was the answer.
Danielle forgot how to do fractions and simplifying them, thus getting the questions wrong. She also needs to answer the questions without my help by trying to understand what the question is asking and how to approach it.
Patrick understands much better than before how to do additional and two by one multiplication. He did not make as much mistakes this time and did really well.
Patrick understands much better than before how to do additional and two by one multiplication. He did not make as much mistakes this time and did really well.
He does not understand two by two multiplication and let's me know that it's too difficult. However, I believe it's because he gets really confused. He understands the basics but gets confused what number is multiplied when there are two numbers at the bottom and the concept of columns and where the number is situated. He needs to keep practising and practising until he does not confuse himself anymore.

Danielle was able to do most questions without my help and was able to understand, although it took her a while to do so. She didn't do much mistakes either once she understood.
She forgot how to do fractions for a moment which hindered her learning to answer the questions properly. She needs to remember to learn and consolidate what she has learnt into practice. It was hard for her to learn a few concepts relating to algebra but with practice, she will be able understand.

Patrick understands how to do the multiplication better than before and there is definitely improvement being seen. I also like that he wants to learn and now he acknowledges when he doesn't understand something and expresses his feelings.
He does not add numbers properly that then messes up his whole answer. He understands how to do everything perfectly but then when we go back to do the similar question right after, he can't remember. This in turn hinders his learning and thus why he is moving forward at a slow rate. He also needs to be committed to doing work outside of tutor hours.
