What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁

I would say interacting with the students and simultaneously learning about them not just as students but also as human beings. Creating a rapport with my student is I'd say the most rewarding thing I could get from teaching them. Through it, trust naturally builds and so does confidence which eventually leads to learning and acquiring skills.

My Strengths as Tutor 💪

I've spent most of my teaching experience tutoring Japanese students; guiding them from sustaining a casual conversation in English to giving presentations during their business meeting. All the while learning more about their culture and etiquette which I have eventually adapted and wholeheartedly so. I always make a point of being polite and considerate to my students' preference and whether such method is comfortable for them or not. This I believe could make a big difference and is paramount in my students' learning progress.

Most important things I can do for a student 🏅

The most important thing for me I guess is to connect with them in a way they feel like they can be comfortable around me so that maybe then they get inspired to learn; to be an inspiration, that is. I once scrolled past this quote on social media that made so much sense to me, "You cannot teach children to behave better by making them feel worse. When children feel better, they behave better." I had my TEFL/TESOL training early this year before deciding to study more in a different country and I could attest to this.
