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.Tutoring students in 👦 👧

She is very proficient in logarithms, having little to no trouble manipulating expressions and solving these types of equations. She could also sufficiently answer most of the algebraic equations, with some guidance on how to manipulate them.
Proficiency in algebraic equations must be improved given how much of it is relied upon in later years. There is still some struggle with algebraic equations involving fractions and simplifying them. Need to improve the efficiency of solving the questions. Additionally working out needs to be more thorough rather than skipping essential steps.

She could recognise some of the translations depicted in the questions. She was particularly good at writing the equations from the transformation description. She could draw some of the graphs from the given equations.
The foundations of quadratics and parabolas do not appear to have been established from the previous year. Quadratic equations and parabolas need to be gone through potentially from the beginning just so that the later topics and concepts will make more sense. This includes looking at what a quadratic equation is - how to factorise it, learning to solve for the x and y intercepts, and looking again at the parabola, it's equation, how it is transformed and how it can be graphed.

Previously, there were struggles with understanding the foundations of bearings, however today much improvement was made as she successfully completed all questions without much issue. There were also previous issues with complementary trigonometry relationships before, but she was able to understand the concepts very well after being taught and completed questions she previously did not understand how to do.
Further work needs to be done on bearings with building her skills and understandings from the foundations. Exact values: whilst her calculator can readily provide her the answer, it is necessary for her to know it for herself and she must work on memorising the values.

She was very thorough with the logic behind the questions. She could easily solve the question without having to write out the working out. She was quickly familiarised with very common exam questions. She could also apply notations, to some extent, without help.
Familiarising herself more with set and probability notations is a must. Whilst this is likely to not be an issue for her upcoming exam, given it was not very much taught in her classes, it is needed for higher years. How to write out answers for probability questions also requires further work.
