What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
With my experience tutoring younger family members, one of the most satisfying feelings in general is seeing the students' ongoing improvement throughout your tutoring. The improvements in grades can be very incremental, but as long as the students learn that with a little bit of focus they can improve and achieve the goals they put their mind towards and that mind set is important far outside of mathematics or sciences. Being able to show younger students that is what I find most enjoyable.
My Strengths as Tutor 💪
I have strong problem solving skills which I think contributes to how well I can explain certain concepts to students. Given enough time I can generally think of multiple ways to approach the same problem which I find is very helpful as different students engage with the same concepts and topics differently. I am patient and I will always make sure that students fully understand how the problem works before moving on.
Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
Be adaptable. Everyone learns differently and it is the tutor's job to be able to work with the different learning styles. I find that this is the most challenging to get the grasp of as it varies widely across all sorts of students, however, once a tutor learns how a student processes different problems and is able to cater their explanations; that is when tutoring yields the most improvement.

Slowly understanding how to use first and second derivatives to clearly classify turning points and points of inflections of a function. Got the grasp of using the chain, product and quotient rule very quickly. Was able to apply them in various simple questions and harder questions that required usage of a combination of the rules.
Has trouble understanding the fundamental behaviours of the first and second derivatives. Thomas is slowly getting the hang of it however there is still room for improvement.

The topics were simple and so the process was understood very quickly. Everything made sense and is easy to remember sense the concepts of UCM and projectile motion all makes sense in a real life context.
Thomas sometimes can't instantly which formula to use. Needs to take more time listing down the variables that are known versus those that are not and logically select the right formulas or derive the right formulas using the ones that are given through step-by-step rearrangement.

Remembered the general process of how to do the different questions. Developed a good understanding of how to derive functions and being able to use the calculator to answer various questions.
Struggles when it comes to remembering how to apply the learned fundamentals. Sometimes forgets how to do things quickly because haven't done maths in a long time.

Was able to clearly get the grasp of how the first and second derivative worked in relation to the initial function. Figured out how to find the minimum, maximum and how to utilise sign diagrams for different type of questions.
Needs to be ore careful not to make small mistakes and calculation errors that can be easily avoided. Make sure to slowly approach different steps as opposed to trying to see the answer of the questions straight away.
