What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
I like helping students cut through the proverbial Gordian knot.My Strengths as Tutor 💪
Because I've studied chemistry, I have a broad grasp of sciences from biology to physics and maths, and can help students link related concepts in a reinforcing manner. I've also worked out a few study tactics for chemistry in particular (some of them also work for physics) that can help with some of the more abstract concepts and with problem-solving techniques.Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
Most students want to get through the next exam, but I also consider it important that knowledge and skills are reinforced and retained for years, if not for life.Subjects Tutored 🎓

Translating a problem into a formula is still troublesome. I suggest that Iris draws diagrams to help visualise these problems.
