What do I enjoy most about tutoring? π
What excites me most about the prospect of being a tutor is being able to see a kid's self belief and confidence soar by gaining a greater understanding of a concept that they may have been struggling with. I find that to be incredibly rewarding and would be extremely grateful to be given the opportunity to impact someones life like that.
My Strengths as Tutor πͺ
one of my strengths is that I did not particularly excel in high-school. The reason that this is a strength is that over the past year I have taken the time to learn from it and get a greater understanding for why that was. I believe this also gives me a good understanding of why some students don't properly utilise their full ability. I am patient and understanding of the fact that everyone learns differently, I take great pride in helping people appreciate that they're highly capable even if they feel that they are not.
Most important things I can do for a student π
Increasing their self confidence in their abilities. I used to hate maths and thought I was always going to be hopeless, then I had a teacher who completely changed my perspective. I felt proud when solving something I couldn't previously, it made me feel capable of achieving more and taking pride in my work and myself. I believe that a tutor's/teacher's greatest skill is being able to give students the chance to change their perspective of themselves by showing them what they are capable of compared to what they they thought.
