What do I enjoy most about tutoring? ๐
- the challenge of finding ways to express or explain something that click with the person I'm talking to
- sharing practical advice I have benefited from in the past
- helping people to hone their skills, and refining mine in the process
- being able to put my strengths to good use
- hopefully being able to inspire people to enjoy a subject I'm passionate about, or at least make it less of a chore for them.
- gaining experience in the field, as I intend to pursue teaching after finishing my undergraduate degree
My Strengths as Tutor ๐ช
- ability to adapt explanations to resonate better with an individual student
- enthusiasm for the subject
- strong grasp of what's required in producing good written work
- confidence in the subject matter and a strong background in analysing literature (not just academically, but as someone who does this constantly in my spare time)
Most important things I can do for a student ๐
- be willing to let them lay out their own ideas, plans, or problems before jumping in.
- help them find what interests them and motivates them in a given subject
- help them understand exactly what assignments require of them, so they know what they're working towards.
- help them get to the bottom of whatever difficulties they face in understanding course material or achieving the grades they'd like.
- coach them in how to write a good essay; not just for the sake of grades, but because I think learning to write is the most important thing a humanities subject can teach you.
