What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
I have always loved the connection with the kids and seeing the answers and understanding in a subject come to them. The entire reason I want to be a teacher is to be able to spread what I know to students in a way that makes them interested and engaged.My Strengths as Tutor 💪
One of my strengths is my youth. I'm old enough that the kids can see me as an adult, but young enough that I understand what they're going through, because it wasn't so long ago that I was going through it myself. I believe that I can break down and discuss ideas in a way that will make sense to most students. But I also know that they can teach me a lot as well. I don't need to know everything, I just have to know how to find the answer.Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
I think listening is the most important thing that anyone can do. Jumping to conclusions doesn't help anyone, it only creates more misunderstanding. Really, actively listening to what the student is trying to say and get across can help both of you to understand each other and make the experience better for both of us.Subjects Tutored 🎓

William's writing is pretty good. He obviously understood what he wanted to talk about and chose great arguments to prove his point. He was bang on 4 minutes with his timing and is a pretty proficient reader. He took on criticism really well and was really starting to analyse the work he had done to try and make it better.
He really needs to read everything he write out loud to himself so that he can hear any mistakes he's made in his sentence structure, or if a portion of what he's written doesn't sound right. One point we really discussed is his propensity to knee-cap his sentences by not sounding confident enough, so he needs to work on that. This will also come in handy with his delivery of the speech, which is currently a bit flat and monotone. We discussed putting in a lot more passion and making his notes reflect where he should put the emphasis.
He has paid a decent amount of attention to the text as he is reading it in class and seems to understand the context of the novel fairly well.

He needs to work on remembering the characters and who they are a bit better. He also seems to be struggling to find the main themes and how they connect to the story.

I think we started off in a good place and were able to look at a couple of different things that will help him. He is aware of where he needs help and is willing to work to do it.
His sentence structure looks like it needs the most help to begin with. His writing is otherwise very good, I think he just needs to proof read before he hands it in. I think it's just going to take practice to nail it down.
Nicholas was attentive and interested in the subject matter. He seemed to grasp the concepts that we discussed really well and asked plenty of clarifying questions.

At this stage it's hard to tell, as he hasn't actually read the book or discussed it in class, so we will see what needs working on as he goes on after the holidays.
