I had the opportunity to observe Jemima’s Maths Advanced tutorial session. She did such a good job helping her student work through difficult Maths problems.
Jemima did a great job allowing her students to work through complex math problem step by step.
When her student got stuck she helped her to work through each step in chronological order. It was great to see how she would let her student try to work out each problem rather than giving her the answer straight away.
She did a great job at using a whiteboard to draw diagrams to explain different ways to approach the question. By giving her student numerous ways to solve a problem, it allowed her to pick the way that made the most sense to her.
She helped her understand the question by getting her to draw diagrams on the whiteboard. This helped her as she is a visual learner.
Jemima would also answer each question or she would have the answers printed out so when her student got stuck she was able to answer the question straight away. It also meant she could easily check if she got the right answer. This meant they could go through more questions and they could use their lesson time as effectively as possible.
Jemima was great at answering all of her students questions and she always gave very clear responses. Her student was very appreciative of Jemima’s response.
It was great that she applied mathematical theory to her students practice exam questions, so she was able to see how the theory applied in a practical example which could be easier for her to understand.
It was great to see how friendly they were and how comfortable she was with Jemima. They had a great relationship and they got along really well.
Jemima did such a great job helping his student to build her confidence in Maths.
Overall, Jemima did such a great job helping her student to understand, interpret and practically apply mathematical theory to his students homework questions. It was a great session and such a pleasure to observe. Keep it up Jemima!
