What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
Over my high school years I worked hard to develop tricks to assist in understanding and revising content. I enjoy sharing my own knowledge with students in order to help ensure that the work they do is productive so as to ensure they are able to maintain a balanced life style. I enjoy this as I believe that a balanced life style contributes largely to a positive learning attitude.My Strengths as Tutor 💪
I am very patient with students and am mindful that everyone has a different learning style. By taking different approaches to teaching until my student understands the concept I am able to determine their learning style and adjust my own teaching to target this.Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
I believe the most important thing for a tutor to do is encourage their students. School content will be challenging for everyone at some point and it is often hard to persevere when we do not understand the content. By being patient with students and helping them until they grasp the concept tutors are able to assist students in gaining confidence in their own ability which I believe is essential for succeeding in senior years.Subjects Tutored 🎓
