What do I enjoy most about tutoring? š
When they understand a concept Iām attempting to teach. When Iām learning for the first time myself it is very satisfying, so when I see the person Iām teaching have that same reaction, it gives me great satisfaction that Iām helping someone else in their studies. It also allows me to become a better teacher and allows me to understand the concept even more by teaching it.
My Strengths as Tutor šŖ
I am patient and have very good communication skills. I have done a year as a basketball coach at ages year 2 and year 11, both years I was able to communicate what had to be done, whilst also making sure they are having fun. With maths and physics tutoring, I have a strong background in both. Doing advanced math and physics in high school and two years of university, I am quite familiar with these subjects.
Most important things I can do for a student š
The most important thing is making sure they fully understand the concepts. I will make sure they understand by asking them questions on the topic, and have prepared quizzes for them to do. If they get it wrong or having trouble understanding, I believe another important aspect of tutoring is having a stress free and friendly environment so they are relaxed and comfortable in order to best understand the topics Iām teaching.
