What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
I enjoy watching my students learn and grow both in their studies and as people in their journey through school. I like taking the time to ensure my students have a full holistic understanding of concepts, and fostering their independence throughout my sessions.My Strengths as Tutor 💪
I believe I am a very approachable and friendly tutor and make my students feel comfortable around me. I believe I create a really positive atmosphere for learning where students are never afraid to ask questions or have discussions about the topic.Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
Above anything else, I believe it is important that students truly know that (although it is rather cliche) there is no such thing as a silly question. One of the first things I say to new students is 'make your mistakes in front of me.' Simply put, I think the most important things are: - Being approachable - Having an ability to explain things in a variety of ways - An ability to create a collaborative learning space.Subjects Tutored 🎓
