What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁

I am a teacher and researcher by nature, so helping others understand ideas is a fundamental motivator for me. I appreciate tutoring in particular as a structure for helping others understand ideas, because it allows me to engage one-on-one with students and to diagnose their individual intellectual needs. I find that one-on-one teaching is often more effective for targeted improvement on certain thinking skills and technical knowledge than the bulk statistical approaches of classroom teaching.

My Strengths as Tutor 💪

My approach is to encourage students to seek a deep and thorough understanding of the subject under study, by encouraging curiosity, agency and accountability with knowledge, and the application of critical thinking skills. I am particularly good at promoting the development of these general thinking skills, and consequently my students often appreciate rigour and abstraction at an earlier stage than their peers.

Most important things I can do for a student 🏅

Students can of course vary greatly in their strengths, difficulties and needs. This is true both intrinsically and as a function of development and external context. The most important thing that a tutor can do for a student is therefore to diagnose those individual needs, and "meet the student where they are." The essential problem of tutoring is to diagnose the state of a student's knowledge and intellectual development, and adapt their communication of ideas such that the student's knowledge and thinking develop optimally towards their best possible state.
