I build working relationships with students very effectively, and understand the importance of working as a mentor as well as an educator. I have a very strong maths and physics background, and a strong performing arts and communication background, which help to more easily engage students.Most important things I can do for a student π
In my opinion the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to build a longer term work practice to allow the student to be successful without tuition in the future. This requires building confidence, breaking down problems, setting goals, and effectively managing time.Subjects Tutored π
