What do I enjoy most about tutoring? ๐
The satisfaction of a student realising their potential in a subject is really rewarding. Seeing my peers understand difficult and challenging concepts through my own explanation as opposed to a teachers really shows how important the learning environment and delivery of content is to supporting individuals and their education. From a young age it has always been clear that I have a deep love of learning and being able to share that with students is something I genuinely enjoy and can see myself doing as a career in the future.My Strengths as Tutor ๐ช
One of my greatest strengths would definitely be my EQ. Being able to understand the content matter isn't enough to help a student understand the content alone. Tutors need to be able to recognise the best way a student learns and empathise with their students while being able to communicate the content clearly. I am also very patient and persistent which is essential when working with students who find learning challenging. I believe my warm nature also allows students to feel comfortable and makes the tutoring experience positive and something they are more willing to persist with.Most important things I can do for a student ๐
Tutors need to be able help their students learn how to problem solve. Too often tutors prioritise getting the correct answer or achieving a high mark. Although that is one of the main reasons students have tutors, they need to support students so they can take on new questions rather than approach them with a memorised trick without understanding what the question is really asking. A tutor also needs to be able to recognise students weaknesses as well as a learning style that best suits the student so the student can gain the most they possibly can in a session.Testimonials ๐
