What do I enjoy most about tutoring? π
It's very fulfilling to see a student understand a concept after struggling with it for a while. It is like the last piece of a puzzle falls into place in front of your eyes and it is incredibly rewarding to be part of that process. I think that assisting learners in achieving their goals, one does more than just help them increase their confidence in the subject. As an educator, this also strengthens your own sense of fulfillment and helps you grow professionally and personally.My Strengths as Tutor πͺ
I think my strengths as a tutor is that I am very patient and understanding. Additionally, I have found that I am good at building a relationship where the students can be comfortable being wrong, and thus be in a good position to learn. I also have a strong educational background with a bachelor's degree in Psychology and a master's degree in Neuroscience. I am also currently undertaking a master's degree in Data Science at UNSW due to my interest in programming and statistics!Most important things I can do for a student π
I think the most important thing may be to identify the individual needs of the student. During my work as an educational-psychological advisor, I used to write detailed reports outlining the student's strengths, learning style, and goals. When this was followed up, it made a very positive impact on the student's learning outcomes. I believe that it is important to remember that the students are individuals with different needs, and once you can identify these needs, they are much more likely to succeed.Subjects Tutored π

Still need to work on being independent with this process, but this is to be expected as there are a lot of steps.

Morgan does very well with equivalent fractions and had no problem with identifying mixed numbers, and improper/proper fractions. She also does very well when simplifying fractions.
We need to work on simplification of fractions that are more complex, as she sometimes struggles when it comes to finding common factors for numbers that are not obvious (i.e., two numbers that you can see are in the same times table).

Math: Charlie does very well when it comes to visually distinguishing between different size fractions. English: Does very well creatively, and continued her story in a very good way, adhering to what we have talked about with regards to the narrative arc.
Math: She had a little trouble understanding the use/process of simplification. She was a little tired this lesson, so it might just have been that. However, need to work on finding common factors and using them for simplification. English: Using correct grammar is still something we need to work on.
Did very well, starting to remember the long division algorithm now. Understood that 30/60 is the same as 1/2.
Did very well, starting to remember the long division algorithm now. Understood that 30/60 is the same as 1/2.
We need to continue working on fractions and finding common factors as this is a little difficult if the number is not easily divisible.
