What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
Throughout my time as a private tutor I have really enjoyed seeing students build their confidence in mathematics and to aid them in achieving their goals whether that be meeting their basic requirements of mathematics for their career or excelling at a very high level.My Strengths as Tutor 💪
I think my greatest strength as a tutor would be having a great understanding of the balance that is required between giving the students the answer to problems and letting them solve the problem unassisted. I believe there is a great balance between these two that needs to be achieved to ensure the student does not become frustrated when unable to solve a problem and assisting their memory by having recalled something unassisted.Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
I think one of the most important things that a tutor can do for a student is to instil confidence within them. I believe confidence is the key for all students across any level to be able to achieve their desired study outcomes. Without the belief that they have the skills and resources to succeed in any aspect they desire, students can be left frustrated and unwilling to really reach for their true potential.Testimonials 🏆
