What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁

What I enjoy most about tutoring is witnessing the transformation in my students. Many start their first lesson feeling uncertain and hesitant about their mathematical abilities. But with each session, I see their confidence grow—not just in solving problems, but in articulating their thought process with clarity and assurance. Looking back on my years of tutoring, nothing makes me prouder than seeing students develop both their mathematical reasoning and their self-belief.

My Strengths as Tutor 💪

I have over two years of tutoring experience, working with university, primary, and high school students. My ability to connect with students from diverse backgrounds allows me to adapt my teaching style to their unique learning needs, ensuring they feel supported and engaged. As a Bachelor of Advanced Mathematics student at UNSW, I have a deep understanding of the mathematical concepts within the school curriculum. I don’t just teach formulas—I help students develop a strong foundation by tailoring my explanations to their individual learning styles. My goal is to make math more intuitive and accessible, so students build confidence and long-term problem-solving skills. Beyond tutoring, I have extensive mentoring experience, particularly as a Department Lead at Sunswift Racing, a world-record-breaking solar car team. In this role, I guide new recruits, providing them with the resources they need to succeed while fostering a supportive learning environment. This mentorship experience enhances my ability to work patiently with students, ensuring they feel comfortable asking questions and developing a genuine interest in learning.

Most important things I can do for a student 🏅

The most important thing I can do is continuously adapt to a student’s evolving learning needs. Students are at a crucial stage of cognitive development, and their understanding can shift from one lesson to the next. A tutor must assess their learning style in every session, adjusting explanations and approaches accordingly. What worked well in one lesson may not be as effective in the next. True teaching isn’t just about delivering information—it’s about staying attentive to how a student responds, ensuring they feel supported, engaged, and continually challenged.
