What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
I love seeing the progression of the students because it gives me a sense of fulfilment that I'm doing something correct.My Strengths as Tutor 💪
I'm proficient at adapting my teaching style to suit the learning needs of the students. For example, if an individual finds it difficult to understand information in the written or spoken modes, I often draw a diagram as sometimes visual elements can better convey information.Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
A tutor needs to understand that every student learns differently. Therefore it is important to understand, especially if a tutor has multiple students, that one lesson won't have the same effect on every student. Tutors must adapt to teach students specific details they do not know and in specific ways.Subjects Tutored 🎓

We need to further practice applying the skills from linear factoring, to quadratic factoring. Furthermore, Riley might not fully understand the concept of 'bringing out' a value from within a factored bracket to the 'outside' (dividing terms on the inside of the brackets by the common factor).

Amelie just needs to be exposed to more situations of proofs through practice. As the tutor, I can be more prepared coming to the sessions with a greater variety of practice questions.
Amelie picked up how to define arbitrary variables to use in proofs very quickly.

Proofs sometimes need some creative insight, through practice and being exposed to different mathematical statements, Amelie can get better at realising what needs to be done to prove a mathematical statement. Currently, this should be worked on.
