What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
Never tutored before but the feeling of when your student gets top marks, you have this satisfying feeling of being a major contributor to it. Also being able to help others is an experience I do not have regularly and so having the satisfaction of helping others is paramountMy Strengths as Tutor 💪
My strengths as a tutor comes from the knowledge of the subjects that I am able to teach. This can be shown within the results I have had within the recent 2017 HSC. On top of that, I have been tutored for most of my high school and am able to empathise with the students of having a tutor and would like to transfer the knowledge of being tutored and put it into practiseMost important things I can do for a student 🏅
Being able to help the student figure out the process to the solution within the specific area as well as simplifying it. E.g. Within Mechanics in 4U, it can be quite daunting the amount of integration in combination of the context of it but if you break it up into separate parts such that you are essentially doing integration again, it makes things a lot simpler.Testimonials 🏆
