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 👦 👧

Students understanding of previous lesson is demonstrated aptly through her performance in this week's revision quiz. Student had a well rounded knowledge of the basic 2D and 3D structures. Seem to demonstrate some understanding of polygonal properties but did not do many practice questions, as the lesson was theory rich.
In such theory-concentrated lessons like these, student becomes restless and zones out throughout the lesson and can quickly go off track. Lesson notes can be sent via email to assist with her understanding of the content so as to keep progress consistent, as well as a lesson log detailing content covered in a lesson and any homework assigned. Further award systems could be implemented to boost student's morale. Student should put her working on paper so she can actively visualise her thought process. This helps to adopt the most efficient patterns of solving questions and be mindful of repeating trends in mistakes.

Student displayed a solid understanding of long division in the division homework from last week; she achieved full marks and her division working demonstrated the correct steps to achieving the right answer. Student was finally able to solve a harder two digit multiplication with the "smile" method by herself. Student was still struggled with the division process today, mixing up the position of place values in the quotient and converting the remainders into fractions. As the lesson progressed, student was able to complete some ab÷c questions all by herself. In the process of doing so, student understood the method of "grouping" in division questions of larger dividend value - when the number is too large to be divided in one step, it is split into smaller groups and divided step by step.
Dividing with large numbers is difficult at her grade level but a skill student is capable of. However her progression is inhibited slightly by her forgetfulness, which may be part to the many complex steps. In order to avoid information overload, student may want to stick to 3 to 4 main principles to guide the long division process. Student solves questions passively which leads to many silly calculation errors. A more active approach to solving questions will improve accuracy results.

Seen a substantial improvement with student's multiplication speed since the start of the speed multiplication activities. Student can now calculate more of her 12 timestables albeit slowly, and just needs more consistent memory practice. With reminders, student does questions relating to last week's content with ease. As reiterated before, student was a quick learner and grasped onto the angle concepts quickly. Since she had covered the topic of angles, student did well recalling the different geometric terms and naming different types of angles. She also learnt how to use a protractor.
Student has a quick brain so when she learns fast, information is easily forgettable. She only vaguely recalls the content from last week. It would be beneficial for the student to spread out homework questions and revise content points THROUGHOUT the week so she remembers more of the work. Next time, only one content topic will be focused on per lesson instead of two so student does not get confused with information overload. Student also found the harder time additions quite difficult, but when the question was decomposed into little parts, student was able to piece the connections and solve the question by herself.

Student was a lot more locked in today and completed the timed multiplication challenge to the best of her efforts. Using slight guidance and reminder, the student is able to almost completely solve multiplications of the form ab x cd with the smile or box method. Student understands the concepts of division especially when provided with frank visual representations of division. She grasps the reasoning behind turning remainders into fractions. Student was able to solve some questions of the form abc ÷ d and ab ÷ c on her own.
She attained the same score in the timed multiplication activity as she did two weeks before, which was a 97/100. As student knows all 1-12 timetables, she should familiarise herself with quickening pace instead. To make sure she doesn't forget the concepts learnt from previous weeks, there will be short activities weekly to recap this knowledge, and if student has free time it is good to revise these concepts herself. Student also should take care being more attentive to her working to reduce the number of silly mistakes made.
