What do I enjoy most about tutoring? π
During VCE when I had studied Methods/Spesh my favourite part about each subject was whenever we were given difficult questions to solve. It was these questions that really pushed my understanding of the concepts in order to not only find a solution, but also to figure out a way for myself to explain this question so that I better know the concept and will be able to tackle questions of similar caliber in the future. As a tutor, when I am asked questions, I am put in these same positions, but I am given an even greater reward, because it is not just myself I am helping but also somebody else.
My Strengths as Tutor πͺ
I believe that I am very paitent and am able to take my time with students who are struggling. If they happen to not understand my first explanation, I will always try to find alternative ways of explaining to make sure they do not miss out. Furthermore, as a former John Monash Science School Student, we were given many questions that heavily applied our understanding of the tested Maths concept. Our teachers were also very experienced and went through the content and questions, offering unique explanations. It is from this experience that I am able to offer students high quality tutoring.
Most important things I can do for a student π
When I went to tutors in the past, I always felt that my tutor teachers only taught the process on how they got to the answer, an explanation that lakced a connection to the content on the curriculum. Thus, I believe that the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to connect to the core content that is needed to answer the question, to ensure that students have a strong foundation and understanding of the Mathematical concept itself. Because without this foundation, they may struggle with harder application questions.
