Verified Tutor
What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
I love the process of watching students become more confident in their abilities and watching their attitude change and become more positive and optimistic towards the subject. In addition watching students develop the skills and knowledge to solve problems and answer questions independently is very rewarding. In addition, one of my favourite parts is witnessing the light bulb moment students have when they finally understand a concept.My Strengths as Tutor 💪
I believe one of my key strengths is my communication skills as well as my friendly and welcoming nature that puts students as ease and makes them feel comfortable and confident in asking for help. My patience is also a strength particularly when students are struggling to understand certain topics/concepts.Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
I think one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is give them the confidence to believe in themselves and their abilities and to take risks in their learning. When tutors personalise lessons according to the students needs and can be flexible and make adjustments where necessary gives student the faith that they are getting the most out of the sessions. I believe a great tutor has the power to change a students' entire attitude towards a subject or unit of work and this is essential in helping them progress in their learning.Subjects Tutored 🎓
