What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁

What I enjoy the most is that moment when the student fully grasps a concept after not understanding it since from when they were taught. Now they can do any practice problem I throw at them and the confidence they show knowing that they'll get full marks if the concept shows up on a test/exam. I really enjoy passing on knowledge to help the youth succeed because I feel that the primary/high school cohort in general needs students that are more confident in their education and that they feel like they can chase their dream job no matter what ATAR or exam barrier is in the way.

My Strengths as Tutor 💪

My biggest strength is that I understand very well how teachers like to teach students mathematics. The teaching methods are generally very solid but rely heavily on a solid foundation. Most students either forget or have not been taught thoroughly some foundational mathematics needed to grasp the concept being currently taught. This is especially prevalent in VCE mathematics as the year is quite short and the class needs to move through all the exam assessment topics. Some students also just learn mathematics differently. Some may prefer a geometric interpretation over words or numbers.

Most important things I can do for a student 🏅

Mental health and confidence is worth just as much as the knowledge of the content. The most important thing a tutor can do is to give confidence to the student and alleviate stress for upcoming assessments. Confidence can be achieved by getting students to solve practice problems on their own after they grasp a concept. Ironing out all the weaker areas and showing the student that all their weaknesses have been covered can majorly help alleviate stress for upcoming assessments.
