Today, I had the chance to observe one of my fellow tutors as she conducted a session on percentage increase and decrease with her student. It was incredibly impressive to see how she navigated the lesson with clarity and patience, creating an environment where the student felt confident and engaged.

Her teaching style was both methodical and supportive. She broke down the concept of percentage increase and decrease into simple, manageable steps, ensuring the student understood the logic behind each calculation. Rather than rushing through the material, she took the time to explain each part of the process thoroughly, helping the student build a strong understanding of the topic.

She also, used real-world examples, such as calculating discounts and price increases, to make the lesson relatable. This approach helped the student see how the concepts applied to everyday situations, making the math feel much more practical and relevant. Her ability to connect abstract concepts to real-life scenarios helped maintain the student’s focus and interest throughout the session.

She was also incredibly attentive to the student’s needs, adjusting her approach whenever the student seemed uncertain. Whenever the student struggled with a particular problem, she took the time to explain it from a different angle, reinforcing the concept until the student gained full confidence. Her positive reinforcement and encouragement kept the student motivated and engaged, making sure they never felt discouraged.

The session was a wonderful example of effective tutoring—patient, thorough, and encouraging. By the end, the student demonstrated a much deeper understanding of percentage increase and decrease, and the tutor’s approach was a true model of effective teaching.
