What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
I love sharing my passion for maths and science with students. It’s incredibly rewarding to see a student finally understand a concept they’ve been struggling with and to watch their confidence grow. Knowing I’m making a difference in their learning journey is what makes tutoring so fulfilling.My Strengths as Tutor 💪
I think my biggest strengths are my patience and my understanding of the subject matter. Having recently completed VCE and studying relevant university subjects, I’m familiar with the curriculum and the challenges students face. My genuine interest in maths and science also helps me make lessons more engaging and hopefully gets students excited about the subjects too.Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
The most important thing a tutor can do is to build a student’s confidence and understanding. When students feel more confident, they’re not only more likely to excel in the subject but also less likely to give up when they face challenges. A tutor should aim to make learning a positive experience and help students develop the skills to succeed on their own.Tutoring students in 👦 👧
