What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
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 💪
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 🏅
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 🎓

Math: Charlie did very well this lesson. She understands bar graphs and ho to read them very well. English: Charlie did very well with the reading comprehension task. She also did well after some guidance on writing using full sentences.
Math: Charlie did very well this lesson, so there is nothing much to improve. She could learn to use the graph more as a visual aid when doing her exercises, which would help her a lot when it comes to efficiency. English: Charlie has no problem understanding texts, but when answering any questions, we need to work on sentence structure and punctuation. We essentially need to work on taking our time writing proper sentences, with punctuation and containing both subject and verb.
Morgan did very well this lesson. Good understanding of manipulating fractions.

Morgan is starting to understand the process of simplification/expanding fractions but we still need to work on applying this to fractions confidently.

Toren is now doing simple long division tasks (no remainder), which is great (sometimes she needs a little bit of guidance, but she can do most steps on her own now). She also did well when introduced to greatest common factor (simple numbers).
We need to work on understanding greatest common factor. She is starting to understand, but this is very important in future work on fractions, so we need to work on improving this understanding.
