What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
From my past tutoring, I have found my passion for tutoring has been mainly driven by myself finding joy in helping a friend or student out in mathematics. However, my personal favourite part is figuring out the best way to explain certain mathematical concepts in the best suitable way for the student or friend I am attempting to explain it too.
My Strengths as Tutor 💪
I am able to understand the student in a way such that I can adapt the tutoring session to be both interesting and practical enough that they are able to be actively engaged the whole time. While doing this I am also able to make sure they learn the content in an effective and efficient manner. This is my main strength as it allows me to generate classes with my students that will overall have the most positive effect on their personal learning of the subject rather than just completing the same session for each of my students.
Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
To me there are two certain parts of tutoring that must be successfully applied by the tutor in order to satisfy the needs of the student. Firstly, the tutor must be professional in manner and make sure he gives off good positive vibes towards the student, but he must also be strict enough that they will have constructive lessons together. Secondly, the tutor must be empathetic towards the student and understand that it may be harder for them to understand the concept in a certain way than other students and the teacher themself and thus, develop his lesson differently for different students.
