What do I enjoy most about tutoring? π
I enjoy seeing when students start feeling more confident in their abilities. It is a rewarding experience to see a student go from being frustrated and lost with a topic, to being at least able to approach it methodically.My Strengths as Tutor πͺ
- I have a good knowledge of subjects, and their applications. - I can often recommend different strategies or methods for viewing a problem, - I am patient and encouraging.Most important things I can do for a student π
I think the most important thing a tutor can do is to equip a student with critical thinking skills relating to HOW to approach a problem. If a student can frame a problem, or recognize which tools are appropriate, then the rest becomes much more manageable.Subjects Tutored π

Not too much needs to be worked on, just keeping the topic fresh and making sure that problem solving is effortless.
We were able to go over a few problems, which generally went well. The simpler problems are handled with ease.

Zuni is doing well, but a little more practice will make some of the slightly harder problems come easily.
Lohit seemed to be able to recall most of the fundamental concepts around this semesters work.

A little bit more work needs to be done in problem solving. Sometimes it is a struggle to identify the approach to use for a problem.
Lohit seems to be able to tackle problems when he recalls the topic / types of formulae or approaches that are applicable.

We need to work on the recollection of the breadth of the curriculum. Some topics from earlier still haven't fully sunk in. I'm thinking of implementing flashcards and exam revision "cheat sheets" that should centralize all the concepts.
