What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁

As most of my tutoring has primarily been with my younger brother and his friends (all 14-15), I enjoy seeing them develop their own understanding of their subjects and the increase in their confidence when giving me answers or suggestions with their work. Their reactions to the improvements in their exam results also give me this same feeling of satisfaction, as I can remember my own sense of accomplishment when I first saw improvements in my grades at their age.

My Strengths as Tutor 💪

I believe that my strengths as a tutor lie in my understanding of what it feels like to be a student who needs a bit of one on one help to better grasp the information they’re being taught, as this was very important to my own academic improvements over the last 2 years of my schooling. I consider myself to be very sociable and able to relate to students, which I think will benefit my ability to tutor them by allowing me to communicate with students in a mature and practical manner, creating a comfortable atmosphere in which they feel confident in their ability to improve their skills.

Most important things I can do for a student 🏅

To me, the most important things a tutor can do for a student are to be firm but patient, and to allow them to solve problems/formulate ideas themselves, not just be fed information to rote-learn. I believe this style of educating enables students to develop their own confidence as they actually understand what they’re doing, not just taking a “do this because the teacher said so†approach to learning.
