What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
I enjoy most seeing my students grow and seeing them achieve the results they want/need.My Strengths as Tutor 💪
I think my biggest strength is that I don't just want my students to be robots who follow a process, I work with them so they understand why the process works. I have found that this leads to less mistakes and a better understanding overall.Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
I think the most important things are: Always being positive, look for the good points and don't only dwell on the negative. Be clear with the student, make sure they understand it takes time and effort to get better. Share your own shortcoming/mistakes you have made (in regards to the content), to help make you more relatable and approachable.Subjects Tutored 🎓

By the end of the lesson Caledon was able to rearrange equations to solve for t, as well as substitute in values of t to calculate whatever quantity we are solving for.
For most of the lesson, we spent a lot of time revising our algebra skills on rearranging equations. Spending some time on revising general rearrange questions might help with this.
Caledon did well to remember more of his algebra skills even after a two week break. He was able to rearrange equations much faster.
