What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁

I began tutoring because I always believed that the only way to be sure that you truly understand a concept is to be able to explain that concept to others. It's incredible how much more you can learn about an idea through this discourse; countless times I've found myself challenged by my students, amazed by a different perspective they take on an idea or forced to change mine to help them understand. It's a humbling experience, especially for students that traditionally do well in academics and become settled in their manner of thinking. I never want my mind to settle, so although it can be intimidating having what I believed were well-understood concepts in my head scrutinised I'll take that over blind comfort any day.

My Strengths as Tutor 💪

My varied experience in tutoring (everything from literature, debate, calculus, piano) has allowed me to study the difference between knowing a specific subject well and being able to explain a subject well. Many that can DO cannot TEACH; there must be a clear distinction between the two and I've spent four years learning the intricacies of that distinction. Coming from a different education system also allows me to bring a fresh perspective; more likely than not I've been presented the same concepts as you in a very different manner, maybe one that will mesh with your mind a bit easier.

Most important things I can do for a student 🏅

One of the most damaging things one can do as a tutor is establish a blind hierarchy with their student. A tutor does not impart facts and knowledge, he or she attempts to come, along with the student, to a mutual understanding of a concept and I find that much more constructive if you approach this from a peer perspective rather than an authoritative one. I bring my experience to the table, from that point on I work and change as much as any student I have. Explaining the importance of methods is as important as the method itself. I will never give work without the reasoning behind that work.
