What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
I really enjoy the chance to use my knowledge and experience to help kids who might be having trouble understanding certain topics or concepts. Having worked with students from various backgrounds in many different countries it is always a pleasure to help someone overcome challenges in their studies, or to assist them with finding a way to expand on an assignment topic they may be finding difficult.My Strengths as Tutor 💪
I'm a fun, friendly and empathetic tutor - I feel it is important that kids gain a sense of achievement from overcoming educational challenges, and that they see the joy in gaining new knowledge. Having worked with children and adults from diverse backgrounds I also have a good level of awareness of the challenges faced by multilingual students.Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
It is vital that a tutor gives a student the feeling of being empowered - that they are part of assisting the student to develop their own skills that they can then move forward and use independently. Developing analytical ability, intellectual curiosity and a sense of achievement from even small study goals should be targets for tutors working with children and young adults.Subjects Tutored 🎓
