What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
I love being able to help people when they need it and then seeing the improvement which you helped to create. I am also wanting to be a maths teacher when I am older so this would be an amazing experience.My Strengths as Tutor 💪
I think because I also somewhat struggled with certain concepts I know that not everyone understands things in the same way. This helps when needing to tutor someone as you might need many different ways to teach one concept.Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
I think the most important thing is not to do the questions for them but to guide them as they do them so that in the future they will be able to do them by themselves. Giving certain little tricks and clues to help them remember certain things as well can be good as it will help them to remember certain concepts.Tutoring students in 👦 👧

- I realised that she is having difficulties with the concepts being subtraction as well as division. (I used counters to get it across which she started to understand but there still needs a level of understanding in order to move to bigger numbers.
