What do I enjoy most about tutoring? ๐
I enjoy being able to help students understand the content and find joy in seeing their faces light up when they finally connect the last dots needed to understand the concept.My Strengths as Tutor ๐ช
My strengths as a tutor definitely include my patience, I am a very patient tutor and am willing to try different pathways to solve a problem if one isn't working out. I sometimes think outside the box so I encourage my students to think similarly in order to be able to adapt to any question that is thrown at them.Most important things I can do for a student ๐
The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is be patient and supporting and guide the student through any issues they may encounter. Show them the path on how to get there, not just the final answer. Make sure students understand the concept so that they may apply the concept to similar questions, not just memorise the steps.Subjects Tutored ๐
