Observing a one on one Year 12 maths advanced session between Caprese and Freddie, it is clear that her tutoring style is very centre around understanding, individual attention and building confidence. Rather than taking a purely instructional approach, she consistently adaps the session to Freddie's needs and level of understanding.
A key strength of her tutoring style is the way she encourages Freddie to work through problems independantly. When he encounters difficulty, she does not immediately provide the solution. Instead, she uses targeted questions and prompts to guide him towards the answer himself. This allows Freddie to develop his problem solving skills while also reinforcing his understanding of underlying mathematical concepts.
Her explanations are clear and structured with more complex questions being broken down into manageable steps. She takes the time to identify where Freddie is struggling and revisits concepts when necessary, ensuring that he understands the reasoning behind each step rather than simply memorising a method.
Another noticeable aspect of her approach is the balance between support and challenge. She maintains high expectations while creating an environment where Freddie feels comfortable making mistakes and asking questions. Mistakes are treated as places to identify gaps in understanding rather than simply being corrected and moved past.
There is also a strong emphasis on HSC prep. She encorage Freddie to communicate his working clearly, recognising the requirements of different question types and developing strategies to maximise his marks for each question asked. This makes the session relevant not only for his current coursework but also to the skills required in the HSC examination.
Overall, her tutoring style is personalised, patient and focused on developing independance. The one on one format allows here to respond directly to Freddie's strengths and weaknesses, helping him build both his mathematical understanding as well as his confidence.
