What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
I enjoy being able to pass my skills and learning on to those I am tutoring, and I enjoy seeing students succeed using my methods. I also enjoy seeing students who may have been struggling find some confidence within themselves after seeing some better results after tutoringMy Strengths as Tutor 💪
I think my unique style of teaching and learning can prove to be a great asset to me as a math tutor in particular; I like to create formulae and/or step-by-step processes that can be applied to a wide range of scenarios in given areas of mathematics, which I find more useful than using specific examples to teachMost important things I can do for a student 🏅
I think it’s very important that a tutor can alter the ways in which they may go about tutoring to cater to specific needs of specific students where necessary. For example, if a student doesn’t understand my personal way of finding solutions, it’s important that I can work with them to find a way that I can explain things that will be useful to them. I also think it’s important that a tutor can make a student feel comfortable enough to ask questions where they may need clarification; lots of people can be afraid to speak when they need that as they may not feel comfortable enough to askTutoring students in 👦 👧

We had some trouble with worded problems; knowing what the questions are actually asking in between all the words looks to be an area Will struggles with, so we will be sure to look at this further and continue practice

Some more advanced concepts proved challenging, such as total price when buying x items @ discount, and finding differences when "two-for" discounts are applied. We will continue review of this at our next lesson
