What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
I believe that tutoring can be a signifiant learning experience just as much for the teacher as the learner. I enjoy the process of interacting with students from different walks of life, and in the process, being exposed to alternate perspectives that I had not considered before. Tutoring, for me, extends beyond curriculum to encompass values of compassion and empathy. I enjoy making my students feel accepted and offering them a safe space free of judgement though the process of learning.My Strengths as Tutor 💪
I believe that I am a sociable person, with a strong work ethic. I am very passionate about teaching and so, commit my time and effort into doing my homework and being wholly prepared for my students. English is also my favourite subject so I feel confident teaching it. I am kind, a keen listener, and understand that every student has unique needs and learns differently. I try my best to adapt to that kind of diversity, because the comfort of my students is key to their progress in the subject.Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
In my opinion, making the student feel comfortable is key to establishing a healthy and optimistic relationship with learning. The teaching space needs to be free of judgement and should feel inclusive. A one-size-fits-all method of teaching disregards every student's unique circumstances so the tutor should make an active effort to empathise with their students and be patient with them whenever necessary.Tutoring students in 👦 👧
