Tutor (Final)

As I mentioned last week, today is my last day of this tutor project.

I initiated this project since the 1 October, 2012 and I had three students in total. While I began with just one student, other parents who heard how much my student had improved offered me more work as a private tutor. I believe that this success was the result of my efforts to improve my teaching skills and the quality of my lessons. Through this experience I have learnt the importance of preparation in order to maintain a high standard, as well as how to think from my students’ point of view so that they could get the most out of our study sessions.

Throughout the project I have learnt many things, e.g. the importance of continuous improvement. In terms of CAS learning outcomes, I believe that I have met most of the objectives.



  • Increase awareness of your strengths and areas for growth – since Maths was one of my strongest subjects, I enjoyed teaching it and I felt I have deepening my understanding of basic concepts by teaching. In my opinion,  teaching someone is the shortest way to learn things because in order to teach, I have to understand it first, and this gives a subconscious pressure that motivates me to learn.
  • Undertake new challenges – this was my first time to work as a tutor. 
  • Planned and initiated activities – I always prepare some textbooks or other teaching materials for my students and this preparation was an essential part to sustain a high quality lesson.
  • Worked collaboratively with others – since I only had an hour to teach, a good communication is required in order to use time effectively. In addition, good communication helped me to think from my students’ point of view, which leads to better understanding.
  • Shown perseverance and commitment in their activities – teaching every week wasn’t an easy task, however, I have succeed to compile my project.  
  • Engaged with issues of global importance – as I mentioned in my other posts, we sometimes discussed about global issues, such as global warming, poverty, and cultural discrimination, to practice my students’ speaking skills.
  • Developed new skills
