What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
I enjoy seeing progression in the understanding and ability of the people I'm teaching. I like to help when someone doesn't understand a concept or have a misconception about a concept. When I am able to change someone's mindset to see that the concept isn't as bad as they thought.
My Strengths as Tutor 💪
Using my broad general knowledge, creativity and problem solving I can find different and interesting ways to address topics. I have used this in communicating ideas and concepts to players when working as a coach in esports.
I am a visual based person and would be able to help others who may struggle with text based learning. Being patient with a good sense of humor I will keep interactions positive and enjoyable.
Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
Tutors should be aiming to give the student the ability understand the problems they are facing and work through to a solution for themselves.
Provide the students with different approaches to topics for gaining understanding.
Give the student time to work through problems they find difficult.
