What do I enjoy most about tutoring? ๐
I love to teach! I sincerely enjoy the struggle of transforming my subconscious concepts of a topic into an explanation eloquent and simple enough for anyone to easily understand. There really is no greater way to fully master a subject than to teach it to someone else; thus, tutoring is beneficial to both the tutor and pupil.My Strengths as Tutor ๐ช
I have a strong enthusiasm for teaching, which I believe communicates to the pupil that I am excited to be there and therefore encourages them to ask me questions to better their understanding. Iโm also very patient and eager to listen. Additionally, Iโm quite extroverted, which is a strength in a position that requires strong communication skills.Most important things I can do for a student ๐
The most important thing a tutor can do is to create an environment in which the pupil feels encouraged to ask questions. Without a certain degree of security or familiarity, most kids are too nervous or shy to ask questions and thus are left with a minimalistic understanding of a topic, instead of the deeper understanding they could gain by asking more questions.Subjects Tutored ๐
