What do I enjoy most about tutoring? ๐
The aspect I enjoy in tutoring others is helping students understand the concept they have not been able to fully comprehend. In this moment you hear โoh thatโs why you do thatโ or 'now I get it,' from the student, as they grasp the idea. This provides great satisfaction as the student is now able to confidently and correctly answer similar questions understanding the notions.My Strengths as Tutor ๐ช
My strengths as a tutor is that I have recently finished my schooling and would be able to relate to the topics learnt within each subject as well as to the motives and goals of each student. I will be dedicated to aid the learning of each student. This may involve preparing additional questions on concepts they are having trouble with or using different methods of teaching appealing to what each student requires.Most important things I can do for a student ๐
A tutor should provide a student with a platform to achieve the results they desire. This may involve providing students with the knowledge they need to understand topics, challenging their abilities or providing motivation for the student to work and be productive. It is also necessary to help the student understand the effort they put into their studies is reflective in their work and results.Testimonials ๐
