What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
I enjoy discussing maths and english, both of which are subjects that I spend a lot of time reading about and thinking about. I also enjoy seeing a student improve over time.My Strengths as Tutor 💪
I'm patient and creative in coming up with explanations to demonstrate concepts.Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
I think the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to be honest about the amount of time and effort it will take to improve and to be able to meet the student where he or she is. I always make sure to understand how the student is processing the information before moving on. The most important thing is that we move at the student's pace and not someone else's.Testimonials 🏆

Amity cannot do algebra and multiplication. Her addition is weak. We will continue working on addition until she is ready to move on.

Needs to do more problems and needs to be able to look at her own solution, understand why she wrote down those equations to describe the situation. And needs to check her own work. This needs to become a habit.

There's three methods: by inspection, squaring, knowing that one term of the quadratic is the sum of roots and the other is a product. I also shared the quadratic formula which is useful when the equation does not have two integer roots. Comparing the product and sum of roots is a skill that Becky really grasps, must do more to make it really solid.
Needs to work on fractions. Becky confuses addition of two fractions and multiplication of two fractions.
