What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
Whilst I don't have any previous experience in tutoring, reflecting on the times I was in tutoring, I found the most enjoyable aspect to be the relationships formed with peers and the tutor. It was reassuring how despite in school I found it difficult to rely on peers and even teacher for help, tutoring, because of the supported learning environment it provided, was something I could depend on if I was struggling with my studies.
My Strengths as Tutor 💪
I believe I have a fairly good understanding of the mathematic and chemistry syllabus but I think my strengths as a tutor lie more into my patience and empathy. I don't have a unique high school academic or social experience and I believe that strengthens me as a tutor as I would be able to understand, to some extent, the position a student is in. I believe the empathy I am able to experience for a student would help me to work well with them as I would, hopefully, be seen by them as someone who is non-judgemental, understandable and someone who could genuinely help them in their struggles.
Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
I believe being able to provide a dependable and welcoming support system for a student is one of the most important things a tutor should do. Based on personal experience, I struggled with finding and being willing to approach teachers at school for help and support with studies. However, it was because I was able to turn to my tutors, who I found to be incredibly welcoming and supporting, that I was actually able to perform well in school even without significant help from my school teachers. Tutors who provide a welcoming and dependable environment are valuable to students' growth.

Her foundations are very strong. Many of the questions which I thought would have been challenging, she was able to get through easily. She was able to pick up a sound understanding of set notations with some guidance.
Understanding set notations needs further development, particularly when dealing with Venn diagrams and two-way tables. Needs to check her work as she goes to minimise error. Further work must be done for tree-diagrams and conditional probability of which is new. Once probability is done, we must go back to trigonometry to review the last few, but very important topics.

She was very proficient with the majority of the application questions - she was able to draw the diagrams with little to no help, and was very quick to apply corrections and suggestions to her work. A huge improvement was made from the last lesson on how she presented her working out.
A greater focus is needed on True and Compass Bearings - not necessarily in problem solving questions but rather when it comes to drawing and labelling the bearings. Understanding of the unit circle and how it relates to complementary and obtuse angles needs further work.

She was a very fast learner. Despite missing the first few lesson of trigonometry at school she was able to recall content from year 9 very well and apply it to harder questions. She was able to recognise what trigonometric ratio was needed for a particular problem and could solve various word problem questions with a little guidance here and there.
We need to improve how she writes out her answers, as while she can do the steps in her head it is necessary for her to communicate this effectively with the marker. She was very quick to apply corrections to her working out, but she requires slightly more guidance on how to correctly present her work.
