What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
The most enjoyable aspect about tutoring would probably be leading others through their academic plateaus, and seeing a student's "aha" moment as they finally understand a question or master a concept. It's a fulfilling feeling to see students improve in their studies and self-confidence by sharing your knowledge.My Strengths as Tutor 💪
I pride myself in communicating my ideas well and adapt flexibly to the needs of different individuals. Being a past student mentor and guiding struggling primary school students through coursework. I am able to succinctly vocalise ideas and accomodate teaching style to suit different students. Also having schooling experience in 4 units of math and units of english, I possess a fortified understanding of junior K-6 concepts and senior year 7-10 content. This allows me to offer proper and accurate guidance for students.Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
The most important thing a tutor could probably do is to make the process of learning an enjoyable experience, and engaging the student constantly to form their own thoughts and ideas. A positive mindset to learning is the pivot to academic progress, and without enjoyment students will reach a mental plateau. High engagement with students also encourage a proactive approach towards learning which allows students to understand content faster.Tutoring students in 👦 👧

Although student is hyper, she is attentive and finds HCF and LCM easy. She didn't understand the analogy homework handed to her last lesson, but with slight prompting and hints she was able to associate like terms herself.
Student struggled with multiplication activity, which involved 11 and 12 times-tables. Week by week speed activities will be given again to sharpen her multiplication skills. Student has forgotten some key concepts from what she has learnt last week, as the previous lesson was theory heavy. These forgotten points were reiterated yet again in the lesson to reminder her. Moreover questions related to HCF, LCM and prime numbers will be recapped to allow more memory retainment. Additionally, student struggled with the prime numbers homework given to her the week before, but since prime number related questions with larger numbers exceeds her grade level, it is not a big issue and prime composite work will be further reviewed.

Towards the end of the lesson, after doing more and more example questions, she is able to complete smile multiplication with minimal prompting. Student attempts to engage with questions and retains content knowledge, allowing her to correct her own mistakes before she is told.
Student seems distracted and spaces off in explanations sometimes. It may be because content was in an unfamiliar range of difficulty. Next week, it would be better for simpler multiplication problems to be set along with the harder two digit multiplication, to prevent too much mind block and discouragement. Explanation sheets breaking down the content should be given to student so she can refer back to the correct methods in case she forgets.

Student has come prepared with all homework completed. Student seems a bit more attentive this week compared to previously. Although she struggles to articulate these concepts, student shows ready understanding of the terms and concepts by reexplaining her newfound knowledge. With some help student can independently form factor trees and reiterate some terminology. Student does well with active engagement and makes a genuine attempt despite the heavy content.
Student struggles with the multiplication speed activity. This is due to lack of familiarity with 1-9 timetables, and more repetitive multiplication practice out of lessons is required to speed up lesson pace. She will receive more multiplication practice to do every lesson to sharpen this skill. Student still has an issue remembering learning concepts and terminology, and tends to confuse multiplication with addition often, but is getting better at remembering key ideas and making less trivial mistakes when key notions are simplified and reiterated to her. Repeated exposure to the same types of questions helps too.

Student demonstrates more eagerness to solving harder multiplication algorithms, trying in earnest to apply step by step long multiplication. Student finds the "smile" shortcut easier to solve these types of multiplication question, becoming faster and more efficient.
Student needs a bit more help in remembering these concepts, as time to time she may slip up e.g arranging her numbers incorrectly in the "smile" multiply method, or writing numbers in the wrong place value when doing long multiplication. It is understandable if student finds difficulty in doing questions by herself, this topic is new and difficult, and will be touched up upon the next lesson with visual cues.
