What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
I find it very rewarding seeing students excel at something through my help. It actually makes it seem like I achieved it. All I want is to just help students secure a good future.My Strengths as Tutor 💪
I am a patient person that will think of over 100 methods to find the right one that suits the student. I also have a very friendly and outgoing demeanour which will help students feel comfortable with me, so they can feel at ease in asking me questions.Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
I think the most important is efficiency in giving feedback. As a student something I deeply struggled & got frustrated with was when a teacher took too long to respond to my question/provide feedback. I think it is very important, especially for students closer to senior years to receive immediate feedback within 2-3 days than a week.Subjects Tutored 🎓
