What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
There are two things I enjoy most. Being able to encourage a learning experience that adapts to the learner rather than a 30 person classroom. Secondly, seeing that spark when things click within a student's eyes when only moments ago they doubted their ability to even understand the question.My Strengths as Tutor 💪
My ability to enable simple and "modular" learning. This is done by providing a breakdown of a complex problem to digestable bite sized pieces. Feel free to ask for examples! Also I pride myself in being an attentive and listener as ultimately I can't engage a student if I'm unable to understand and build rapport with them. Finally, my other strength would be in thinking beyond the curriculum, I believe in meta-learning, specifically the "learning of learning", and this enables a long term framework that enables youth to adapt to a variety of future curriculum rather than a short term test.Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
The most important things to me is to engage, motivate and involve the student with their study. Too many students suffer from sidelining and taking a backseat in education due to a number of reasons. Hence, being able to link a student's passion by showing how education is not a blocker but rather an enabler for their curiousities and wonders is thus the most important thing. Of course, assisting and "traditional" tutoring is just as important but without proper engagement the effectiveness is more than halved!Subjects Tutored 🎓

About Christofer
IT and Math Nerd
I have a really strong passion for anything cyber or mathematics and am always down to listen or rant with someone regarding them! My passions were led down to data science (from math), programming and cyber security, but there are plenty of avenues. I have broad knowledge of various entryways into IT at differing levels, as well as free/ paid resources that could help get to that vision. And am happy to share for any student with any interest in the industry :)
Picture Context
My profile picture is from me when I helped host what's called a "Hackathon". This event involves a group of students banding together for a weekend to pull a project, or "hack", together regardless of their skill level in IT. I helped run the event in varying ways from catering to assisting groups in getting their bearings.

Able to succinctly indicate confidence and whether they need further explanation. Strong ability to compartmentalise knowledge and build upon it, think of a lego learning approach/ bottom-up rather than a top-down approach.
Not used to the delivery of university content, particularly the speed. A goal is to improve the student's ability to navigate themselves on what content they need to cover and in what order to most efficiently and effectively learn. They are aware of this. Behind in subject work by a fair amount at this stage.
