What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
The most rewarding experience from tutoring is watching a student gain confidence in their own ability to solve problems. Specifically, it is when they are able to test out different methods to solve the problem and see why one approach may be more efficient and/or effective.
My Strengths as Tutor 💪
As a tutor, my strength lies in my patience and ability to explain solutions in a plethora of different methods. Most notably, I am able to build trust between my students and me, encouraging them to ask questions in order to further develop their critical understanding of the issue/problem.
Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
Personally, being adaptable and flexible in your teaching is the most important thing a tutor can do for any student. As individuals, we all learn at a different pace through a variety of mediums. Hence, it is important to easily recognise this and cater your teaching for each student. This creates a personalised and catered experience which is both effective and efficient. For instance, visual learnings may benefit from examples and imagery when explaining solutions, while mathematical and verbal learners are usually best taught through sequential solutions.
