tuition musings

Tuition today was slightly more mind-boggling than ever. My tuition sessions each week is usually quite a breeze since it's my second time gg through the entire P5 syllabus. But today, tutee's mum decided to get me to explain a math question. See, there's a reason why I'm only tutoring her English and Science. 

The math question was SO long. It was such a major turn-off just trying to finish reading it. *see stars* Plus the play of words and objects drove me nuts. Fortunately, tuition to me is a group effort and I SOS-ed my tuition helpers. Helper C woke up just in time 30min before my tuition ended and solved it all. YAY!

So not gg to teach primary school math ever- cnt use algebra!?!!. Now I really think algebra is one of the greatest invention ever. It's so useful. And my tutee is terrific. She was just one or two steps away from the answer. 
Impressive.
