Observation

Today I was able to observe Davids Year 12 Maths Standard session.

During the tutoring session, the student and David worked collaboratively through a range of past paper questions, using them as both a revision tool and a way to strengthen problem-solving skills. David guided the student in approaching each question step by step, first encouraging them to identify what the problem was asking and which concepts or formulas were most relevant. This method ensured that the student developed a structured process for tackling exam-style questions, rather than simply jumping to solutions.

As they progressed, David encouraged the student to explain their reasoning aloud, which allowed for immediate feedback and correction of any misconceptions. This interactive style of learning promoted a deeper understanding, as the student was not only practicing content knowledge but also developing exam technique and confidence. When the student encountered difficulties, David broke the problem down into smaller, more manageable parts, highlighting key strategies and patterns that could be applied across similar questions.

Overall a great session to observe
