What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
I enjoy seeing those I tutor find success and confidence in an area they once dreaded. I have a great passion for academia and also understand that receiving help to overcome learning challenges in a more personal setting can thoroughly improve a students outlook in and enjoyment of a subject. I find it really fulfilling to be part of that solution.My Strengths as Tutor 💪
As a tutor, I look for multiple ways to teach skills and find the best and most effective way in which a student learns. That kind of flexibility and intuition is a specific strength of mine. My patience and persistence in this process are also virtues I take to the role.Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
A tutor can do two primarily important things for a student: 1) recognize and modify their teaching approach to consider their student's specific learning style, 2) maintain a friendly yet professional rapport so that the student feels comfortable engaging with the tutor and content. For myself, these are fundamental qualities a tutor should possess.Subjects Tutored 🎓

Ruby has made great progress this year. Her upcoming exam focuses on three main topics: simultaneous equations, non-linear equations and time. She is showing great aptitude for solving simultaneous equations and is fairly confident with calculating time across time-zones.
Ruby is still having trouble differentiating non-linear equations. However, she has strong problem-solving abilities in relation to quadratic equations. For additional preparation, I have sent her full solutions to some of the more challenging worded practice exam questions.

Henry's multiplication of fractions has greatly improved and he is demonstrating confident ability in simplifying fractions. Henry was also able to accurately add decimals numbers. Henry attempted every question of the quiz today, which is a huge achievement considering his aversion to attempting questions if he is not confident that he'll get them right.
Henry is still struggling to subtract, multiply and divide decimals. I have noticed that writing the working out directly above the numbers for multiplication and to the left of the numbers for subtraction has helped limit his confusion between the two individual processes. I have given him a decimals worksheet with the intention that he practices the two different styles of working out.

Henry shows great aptitude for this unit, particularly converting between different units of measurement. Henry has also been employing different styles of working out for addition and subtraction questions involving decimals.
Henry is still struggling with the concept of 'borrowing' from the lefthand number in order to subtract (e.g. 0.32 - 0.07 requires 'borrowing' a tenth from the 3 so it becomes 0.2[^1]2 - 0.07). This may be the reason why Henry finds addition and multiplication far easier than subtraction and division.

This lesson, we focused on strengthening Henry's multiplication and division abilities through a worksheet of mostly worded questions. Henry showed great ability with identifying key information and greatly improved patience for strategizing how to solve the question before attempting it.
With longer questions and questions that involve a lengthy foreword, Henry can sometimes forget the aim of the question, i.e. what he is required to find. By taking the time to strategize and articulate the aim beforehand, this issue was and can be alleviated in the future.
