What do I enjoy most about tutoring? π
Having one-on-one time with children provides high-quality learning opportunities. This format is less strenuous than teaching a room full of students (Which is fun, albeit challenging). However, the fulfilment remains the same. I like organising and preparing learning experiences, as this allows me to further my skills as an educator.My Strengths as Tutor πͺ
I have been described as a "kind and warm classroom presence" in my professional experiences. This allows me to build rapport with children. I genuinely enjoy seeing children improve. Witnessing their "Ah ha!" moments gives me fulfilment. This motivates me to find engaging ways to teach.Most important things I can do for a student π
Tutors need to be able to empower their students if a child attains a positive attitude and mindset towards their own learning, they will take control of their learning journey. A higher level of achievement will follow. Tutors must also be able to communicate their child's learning needs to parents. Parents/Guardians will ensure children remain dedicated to their education.Tutoring students in π¦ π§
