What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
*I note that I was a maths tutor a long time ago with Master Coaching (when it was a substantial franchise in the early 2000s). It was great working with students who were interested in learning, the students and I both enjoyed itMy Strengths as Tutor 💪
I have many years experience working as a Structural Engineer (and there’s a story about it). I have very strong ability with mathematics as well as other subjectsMost important things I can do for a student 🏅
If students aren’t interested in mathematics or other subjects, a tutor can help to increase their knowledge, and it can increase their interest in the subject(s). I believe increasing their knowledge is one of the most important aspects of tutoringSubjects Tutored 🎓

there was correspondence with Ezymath about the login details for the tutoring & test webpage (to be confirmed). It was agreed with Ricky to practice algebra & indices before the test, and there will be a follow up lesson in 3 weeks time. the next lesson will include reviewing the test and there will hopefully be good results.
Practicing maths using the worksheets went well.
