What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
The joy for me is supporting students with their specific goals enabling each to gain confidence in themselves and their abilities. Providing a calm and supportive learning space where the student can feel at ease to ask questions and take risks with their learning. I also really enjoy building a meaningful rapport with students and getting to know them, their interests, goals and dreams for themselves.My Strengths as Tutor 💪
