What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
What I enjoy most about teaching is that it is a learning process not only for the student but also for me. Students always come with questions that challenge my knowledge and experience, and that keeps me in a constant state of growth and learning. There is also no better feeling than seeing your student reach their full potential.
My Strengths as Tutor 💪
Since I started university, I decided to work as a tutor in different subjects thanks to my good results and my ease in teaching. My classmates used to ask me for help when they needed to study. I always look for different ways, examples, and methods to help my students understand abstract or difficult concepts, as well as find real and simple examples. I have worked with students of different ages, which allows me to be very flexible when helping them.
Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
My goal as a tutor is not to "teach" a subject; my goal is to help the student learn how to study and find their own path so that they can do it on their own without needing a tutor in the future. My main objective is for my students to eventually no longer need me. I always encourage my students to think about what they are learning, why they are learning it, the reasons behind things, and why it is important in their lives.
