What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
I enjoy inspiring students and watching their confidence grow as they master challenging concepts. It’s incredibly fulfilling to share my passion for learning and help others achieve those “aha!†moments when things finally click. Tutoring allows me to connect with students personally, adapt to their unique needs, and make the learning process both enjoyable and rewarding.My Strengths as Tutor 💪
My strengths as a tutor include adaptability, effective communication, and empathy. I excel at breaking down complex ideas into manageable parts and presenting them in ways that resonate with each student’s learning style. My research and academic experience equip me with a deep understanding of scientific concepts, which I pair with creative teaching techniques to make learning engaging. My experiences with study challenges have also made me a patient and relatable mentor.Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
The most important things a tutor can do are to foster a supportive environment, encourage curiosity, and empower students to reach their full potential. A tutor should guide students to find solutions rather than providing them directly, enabling them to build independence and critical-thinking skills. By helping students develop efficient study habits, manage challenges, and celebrate their progress, a tutor plays a pivotal role in shaping both academic success and confidence.Subjects Tutored 🎓

Worked through a lot of questions including drawing out the structures of different hydrocarbons, interpretting formula and diagrams to identify different carbon atoms, and understanding the key distinctions between various functional groups. Additionally, we discussed priority rules, the role of suffixes and prefixes, and why halides and ethers can never take on a suffix as they never occur independantly of other functional groups. Justified the general equations for Alkanes, Alkenes and Alkynes by testing out hydrocarbons of different lengths to establish proof. Student said that visual diagrams and interactive questions to complement the contect covered was useful in solidifying understanding, and this was reflected in high proficiency in answering the questions towards the end of the session. Lu-Anne also reported a significant increase in grades since tutoring started (from 44% to 65%), and said that she was enjoying tutoring and that it was helping her better grasp concepts.
Nothing in particular - Recommend reviewing help sheet that was emailed about naming organic compounds before next session as it will come in handy when the knowledge from today's session is applied in a more challenging format.

Resolved IT Issues from last week Covered the rest of the test, discussing theory in depth, and working through a range of chemical calculations Provided Lu-Anne feedback on both calculation based and theory based questions, and gave her tips on how to improve the quality of her answers Student is active, engaged, asks questions, interacts with the lesson, explains her reasoning, takes on feedback, and recalls concepts learned from previous sessions. Student takes notes and attempts calculations while I am explaining/demonstrating them to build her own proficiency.
Nothing in particular - I am happy with her progress so far.

Worked through a test to gauge Lu-Anne's strengths, weaknesses and ability to connect theoretical reasoning with formula-based questions, and watched as the understanding developed over the course of the session. We used discussions, worked examples and reviewed previously attempted test questions in order to improve Lu-Anne's understanding of Equilibrium.
Having some IT issues with sharing screen with a whiteboard from ipad, planning on troubleshooting in on my end before the next session. There was also one question that was a little bit confusing to work through, and I plan on figuring out where we went wrong with the calculation side of things so we can cover it completely in the next session.
I worked through example questions, visual diagrams, and other methods to improve Lu-Anne's understanding of the theory and its application. Developed student's ...
I worked through example questions, visual diagrams, and other methods to improve Lu-Anne's understanding of the theory and its application. Developed student's ability to connect different concepts and use multiple formulas within one question to calculate questions. Bridged gaps and the student completed the last question successfully without any help! Very happy about student's progress, and feeling confident about their ability to do well in the upcoming Titration Test
Nothing in particular - Recommending spending some time reviewing resources provided and attempting more practise questions to build proficiency, and wishing Lu-Anne the best of luck in her upcoming Titration Prac / Test.
