Verified Tutor
What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
I've always enjoyed helping the people around me to succeed in shared classes; being able to see someone reach a new understanding is always a rewarding experience. Now that I'm no longer studying in high school, it seems fitting to turn that enjoyment into a job.My Strengths as Tutor 💪
I will always try to understand what it is whoever I'm helping actually needs help with, and then listen to them as we continue to work - there’s no point in just going over something that isn't helping.Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
I can listen. A tutor is there to accommodate the student's needs, and no high ATAR is going to mean anything if they can't. In general, emotional intelligence is very important for tutors.Tutoring students in 👦 👧

By the end of the lesson Paddy had shown development in the following, though we are yet to see the durability of these developments: - recalling negative/positive multiplication rules - understanding methods for working through simplifying algebraic expressions - some of the steps for working through linear algebra problems - pen & paper techniques for working through problems We saw good development in the lesson, though practice will be needed to cement these skills.
- We made a good start but more work is needed at some point to cover linear algebra problems. - As I mentioned, revision of the topics covered will help cement them; these topics all appear in the assigned homework questions. - Next time: Fractions. Paddy was a wonderful student and though it is early days I am optimistic about working with him going forward.
