What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
It's hard to say, but I think teaching the subjects I love in a different way than from what I learnt in school, hoping the kids actually understand what they're doing, not just do stuff because it's right without knowing what it actually means. Also love connecting and forming bonds with the kids, trying to find what they like and also having small chats with them about these topics from time to time during the class.
My Strengths as Tutor 💪
I'm very easygoing and patient, I think I can adapt well to the needs of the student and I love to teach trying to find real life examples that will help students learn but also enjoy what they're doing without it being too boring.
Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
Help them understand what they're doing. I feel like my years throughout school were more directed to knowing the methodology to get good grades but not having a proper understanding of the way things worked. Being a bit older you look at things in a different way, and I feel like if they start understanding the subjects properly from a young age, things will be easier when they grow up and they will actually enjoy the subjects they're studying. Obviously all of this depends on the capabilities and age of each student, but I think I'm able to adapt quite well to their needs.
